The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Maldon East of England

Me and my friends came down to Maldon from Colchester for their Halloween quiz on Thursday the 24th of October. We called the day before asking to book a table for 13 of us to let them know there would be a lot of us coming. They said that was fine and we drove down 45 minutes and called on the way to say we would be 5 minutes late. We turned up just to be told that our ‘reserved’ table was taken by other customers that have ordered food so the staff could not move them. The staff were not apologetic at all and would not offer any other arrangements for us to take part in the quiz. We were pretty much turned away from the moment we turned up. We were so upset that we had travelled this far so we had to leave and go someplace else. Would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this place!! Shame on you.

I can’t rate this place enough not only for their seasonal meals but their roast dinners are simply AMAZING! I went with my family and we shared a Sunday roast platter, it was delicious, plenty of food and great variety (3 different meats, roast veg and steamed veg, red cabbage, stuffing, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire’s and the cauliflower cheese was so delicious and cheesy). The variety of veg was great and none of the veg was limp nor felt microwaved, the vegetables still maintained their vibrate colours and crunch. The gravy had a really depth to it and I asked the waitress and they said it was home made by the chefs, the quality of the gravy finished off the meal. It’s such a beautiful pub near the quay, has a real cosy feel to it along with a great ambiance. The staff are always helpful and tentative without being overbearing. Great drink selection, and definitely one of the best places to eat for food quality and value for money. I can’t recommend this quant pub enough. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from us.

Walkabout always has a decent atmosphere of a weekend evening and yesterday was no exception with Karaoke - it was brilliant. Myself and a friend stepped outside to smoke and I was refused entry on the way back in for “having had too much”… I was yet to purchase a drink at Walkabout, and had 2 pints in another establishment, so suffice to say I was not drunk. I do, however, have an existing injury to my leg from some time ago which occasionally causes slight instability when walking and/or limping. This is the only explanation I can give for having been refused entry on this occasion, as my legs had flared up.. My friend politely asked for some further explanation from the doorman who made the call, which he refused to give. So either he didn’t like the look of us, or refused re-entry because it was 2 guys. Strange. As mentioned, I’d not purchased a drink in Walkabout so was no different compared to when I was first granted initial entry. It’s a shame because it’s a nice venue - but, perhaps they ought to consider the training of their security partners - as the 20-something year old security guard clearly requires some additional training.

First visit since this restaurant changed from being a Wimpy to now being called The Diner, I believe it’s the same people running it but a vast improvement now. A great choice on the menu and the food is 100% better than it was before. I had the half pounder and chips and my wife had gammon egg and chips, both were well presented and tasted lovely. She managed to fit in sticky toffee pudding and custard which looked lovely and she said it tasted great. There is a good selection on offer here at very reasonable prices, well worth a visit.

Another great Sunday lunch at Ye Old White Heart. The vegetables were cooked just as we like them. Excellent service from Ella and Clare.

Ordered haddock and chips it was obviously all frozen food and my fish was not cooked sufficiently. I won’t be going again.

We stayed over in Doris our motorhome and what a fabulous reception we got. Staff extremely friendly and food was superb. The choice on the menu was good and portions are huge 👌

Great service in the kiosk at the station and always with a smile! On a windy Monday when my brain clearly wasn’t functioning yet and I left my tea behind, the lovely lady (Steph) ran out and gave my tea to one of the train staff so I wouldn’t miss out on my morning cuppa. That is going above and beyond in customer service! Thank you very much! Have a great day! 🥰
