The only thing that this pub has going for it is the location. The staff only want to serve locals. Anybody they don't recognise they are rude and helpful.

Soulless pub which is a big change from previous visits Ghost ship beer was off but staff couldn’t care less - ask for manager never appeared - staff continued to keep the same beer on sale !

Last week some friends and I sat in the outside bit of the restaurant and when it got a little cold my boyfriend asked if they had any space inside and then realised that we had our food coming out so informed them that it...wasn’t necessary but thanks anyway. We were then accused by some older short bob haired lady that we just moved without telling them and that we can get our own cutlery 😂 the rest of the staff aren’t much better to be honest.More

Wanted to take relatives to Maldon and read the reviews of this pub particularly as they had vegan options. Options is not what I would call it. Chilli nachos to start or chilli and rice for main course. So I ordered the vegan chilli nachos....When it came out with the other meals it was covered in cheese. I asked the waitress if it was vegan cheese which she said she would check. It was not vegan cheese. Why have a vegan option and the kitchen cover it in dairy? I sent it back and got the same back without any cheese so not bothered to have a replacement. Restaurants that offer vegan, vegetarian or GF should ensure their kitchen can produce them.More

Came here on my Birthday after walking the dogs as it overlooks the water. Waited whilst they served three tables who had all ordered after us but after chasing our order finally got our burgers. It’s £12 for burger chips and a side salad! Don’t...be fooled thinking it’s a steak burger because it’s not it’s so fatty there not a chance this burger is made from any form of steak! Also there’s nothing else in the burger! Literally every single burger you order anywhere comes with something else in but not this one! Not an onion or relish in sight just a plain dry fatty burger in a bun three times too big for the burger. Chips and salad were ok but even paying an extra price to have cheese and they use some value cheddar that was so dry and congealed clearly the reason we were kept waiting is cuz the burger was just sat there as, as soon as we asked they brought it straight out! Nearly £40 for a pint, two barely edible, dry, plain and dull burgers and glass of wine! Feel like I’ve been mugged! My advice is only use this place for a drink as they clearly don’t care about what they charge you or what they serve! I’ll be picking the burger out of my teeth for the rest of the day and I served most of it to my dogs! 🤣🤣🤣🤣More

Been going to Maldon for years only ever had a drink here but today we decided to have lunch here so glad we did very nice food would recommend the queen's head

We arrived at about four o clock on a wet March afternoon. All the staff greeted us warmly and we were soon seated at a window overlooking the water. The beer (Brewers Gold) was delicious and the atmosphere was convivial. The fish and chips ordered...arrived very quickly. It was hot and tasty. One of the staff (Carmen) was especially friendly, making sure that the food and drink was to our liking, and chatting knowledgably about a number of things. We left feeling very happy. The meal was excellent value for money, and the hospitality was excellent.More
