The Old Ship in Maldon

We stopped at The Old Ship for lunch when walking around Heybridge Basin. It was excellent although portion sizes were very large but were excellent in flavour. Staff were friendly and efficient and the pub had a good atmosphere. Recommended.

A really nice pub, good food, helpful staff, dog friendly and wonderful Essex views. Recommend and look forward to returning.

Lovely pub in a picturesque setting… we only popped in for a pint after a long walk, sat outside with the dog, staff seemed friendly and polite, can’t complain 👍👌

The ambiance was lovely overlooking the water and lock. The food was good too, my husband had a cod and chips, l had a brie and bacon baguette which came with chips. . Both were very filling.

Called in for a drink. Lovely old pub with great outdoor seating next to the sea lock and good indoor seating overlooking the estuary.

Found this place on Google Maps and used Google Navigation to get there on our Motorcycles, found it no problem, but to all bikers take a stand pad as the carpark surface is gravel.Went in and was greeted with a friendly welcome and asked what we'd like, had Half a Maldon Gold, Diet Coke and 2 bags of Walkers finest. Prices were what you'd expect for a pub on a tourist spot and they know how to look after the Beer.Found a table in the corner by the window overlooking the Basin and kicked back n let the world pass by. While sat there food was served at another table and looked reallly good for Burgers n chips etc(Mums with kids so nothing fancy) and the prices a reasonable too.The view is just lovely and is on a Coastal path so loads of people passing by and can be a little busy and it's good for Families too as theres a lot to do around the Pub.Really enjoyable place to visit, value at the bar and value from the kitchen, good location, clean and tidy, just could do with updating the Decore and the Pub Dog is lovely and likes a fuss.I'll be going back on a sunny day when the tide is high and have a beer and a bite, see you all there soon.

Amazing location and very friendly staff. Food is simple but good and the views and walks to and from the pub are outstanding.

Fabulous service and very friendly. Went that extra mile to get us tap water and allow us to use the toilet, after the jolly sailor refused us, despite purchasing drinks. We popped back and bought a bottle of water and will definitely give The Old Ship our full custom next time.

Scampi and chips were absolutely lovely and we sat on a bench overlooking the water eating them because of Covid.Gorgeous!

Nice picturesque place to go for a relaxing views over Heybridge Basin. Definitely worth a visit. The scampi and chips looked amazing. We didn't eat, but all the food being served looked really tasty. We will be going back for a meal soon.
