The Queen Victoria Pub in Maldon

Thanks so much for squeezing us in... We thought our friends had booked a table and they thought we had, so, when we got there the only tables were outside! Great, but it was lashing it down! The torrent of rain was harsh 🙄 so the next alternative was to sit at the darts table, but as we are not that good at darts, or even good at ducking the darts while eating was not an option 🤣. But, the staff were brilliant. Chill out for a few minutes while they sort out the seating. Job done. Table sorted. Meal ordered! Food is reasonably priced for a really tasty dish or rather dishes. Two had the fish and chips, pretty standard. The fish was cooked to perfection, and enough chunky chips to share with me too! I had the special... short rib of beef with veg and mash. Omg, I loved it. I could have eaten it again but I saved myself for the crumble and the hot custard. Simple, no fuss food that was so tasty. I'm not even going to show you a photo of it because I've eaten it before I got the camera out! If you want to see it, go try it. I did try to take a photo of the girls serving us and the guy that helped sort out the seating but all I could do was to take a selfie of me cringing at my mates dad jokes! So funny, but I had to wind him up by trying not to laugh! So, the moral of this story, go try it, but don't worry about getting a photo, just enjoy the ambience, the drink, the food and get to know your hosts. Thanks 👍 we'll be back. 😁

Incredible food and lovely cosy atmosphere

I only popped in for a quick drink whilst waiting for a cab. I usually wouldn’t review after such a short period at a place but the friendly welcoming and clean environment was so apparent I really would feel bad not leaving a review. Thanks guys! Really nice venue and people!

Excellent service, friendly staff. Food was amazing and good value - will be trying the Sunday lunch soon. Would recommend a visit

Friendly staff. Good food nicely presented. Staff had good knowledge of food and drinks on offer. We managed to get the last table which speaks for itself.

Had a very nice meal and a good ale here friendly staff and host good atmosphere and warm old world pub have already booked next meal can't wait

We really enjoyed our visit today. The atmosphere was first class the food was so so good, the staff was so professional . This venue is a good example what can be done with new management. Thank you so much.

Lovely pub, delighful hosts fabulous, food. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious 3 course meal at the Queen Vic tonight. It was made extra special by the fantastic service we received by our waitress Sharon. The menu was great with so much choice and the drinks menu was even bigger! Really can't wait to go again soon and can't recommend enough. Very reasonably priced too

Came here today for my birthday lunch with my mum and 2 dogs. Very well organised, the food and service is 100% spot on, couldn’t of asked for better! Will defiantly be going back! Thank you all for making my day special!
