The Maldon Smokehouse in Maldon

Amazing meal at this fabulous place today. The meal was exactly what I hoped it would be, and excelled that. Beautiful fresh fish, wonderful smoked meats and cheese and lovely bread. Service was excellent - can’t fault it at all.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal today -- very helpful and friendly staff, delicious fresh sea food and a spectacular view. Highly reccommend. One of a kind.

Still a good find lovely smoked fish, only thing missing is the meat platter. Would have been nice. Still worth a visit BYO drinks xx

Foods nice enough. Prawns are frozen so little and watery. There's absolutely no atmosphere.,a bit of background music would be be a good idea.

Some dishes are pricey but enough choice for fish lovers but don't expect fried fish and chips. Lovely views over the river so if you like watching birds while eating fish give it a try

Lovely lunch for 8 in unusual and quaint set up on the river bank. Good fish selection, take your own alcohol and warm clothing if here in winter.

It's a little pricey but the food is excellent!It's only open from 12 noon until 4.00 pm from Wednesday until Sunday but well worth a visit. They don't have an alcohol license but you can take your own wine etc and they will provide the glasses.The food is mostly shell fish but they do offer a few alternatives.

Very tasty fresh fishfood. Veggies got also one menu which we really can recommend. important! If you want to drink wine or other alcoholic drinks, you have to bring them by yourself. The staff is great and very friendly.

BYO joint right on the river and while the food might seem expensive for the area, it's worth every penny. If the forecast is hot, take an outdoor parasol to stick in the table as there's limited shade. Lovely service.

Fantastic hidden gem, serving incredible food with lovely service. The scallops were soft in the middle with lovely seared off ends, and came with a hearty pesto sauce, the ribs were meaty and succulent with an incredibly richly smoked sauce. The platter had everything we wants, and again the prawns had that delightful smoked flavour and the salt n pepper squid was perfect. You also bring your own alcohol which is great, makes for a cheaper meal and you get drinks immediately. The staff give you glasses. There's two outside shacks/dining areas out the back overlooking the river, and further seating outside, plus lots of seating inside, and lots of home made/cooked food. It's a really lovely place and we will certainly be going back.
