Queens Head Inn Maldon — Restaurant in Maldon

Under new management the pub has become a food rip off. I should have picked up on this on the way in as the pub was empty. I was with my brother so asked for 2 bacon rolls and 2 coffees. I was advised that it had to come with chips and salad. For that pleasure it would cost nearly £20! We decided to give it a try. For that price you should expect something special. When it arrived was I disappointed! A single piece of bacon in a grubby bit of French stick accompanied with some limp lettuce and anemic chips. The coffee was from a vending machine and tasted powdery. At this point we just looked at each other and gave up. How can you serve up something that benign? My brother said "Don't bother! -Deflated, we left. I wasn't prepared to let it go. I came back a minute or later and gave the two bar staff honest polite feedback on what they had just served up.

I then said “oh that’s fine hun you beat the queens head at 1.5 hours AND we booked a table! She laughed lol. My 5 year old really enjoyed her chips lemonade and ice cream within...

What a shame about first impressions!- my mum is 90 years old and was really excited to be taking us out for dinner here The pub setting is lovely -right on the quay side but the masses and masses of tables should have warned us that this restaurant is about fast food not quality And though we sat inside on a Very very hot afternoon because of mum we were cool and relaxed and our table was booked However with the menu came the speech that there was no fish (what we had especially come for) no lasagna and a couple of other not availables Now- you would have thought that to have such a large amount of sorry not available, and they had my mum's phone number because of booking the table that a courtesy phone call would have been polite to let her know in advance But no! It was fast food and tasteless Which is fine if that's what you like but that made a double no Sorry but we...
