The Village Maid in Tendring

Wow! Fantastic place, wheelchair accessible entrance and toilets, delicious food, lovely scenery and is nestled in the wide Norfolk countryside so the view in the beer garden is nice! The car park at the back is very close to the start of a classic country walk with fields and fields sprawling ahead. The food was very good, the Korean BBQ burger was the best she'd ever had, Moss and Co's signature chicken and chips was ace, as usual and the roast dinner was generous and all were presented in an appetising way. The staff were kind, warm and more than happy to accommodate and food changes needed and nothing seemed a problem. All in all, VISIT! The music indoors and out was a great, calm mix of 60s-00s with a laidback atmosphere throughout. We felt taken care of without feeling pestered. The duck pond at the front is a lovely little rest before/after the pub, and who knows, you may just spot the tiny turtle that lives in there sometimes! You'll have a lovely time if you do choose to visit! Thank you to the Maid & Staff.

Just had a lovely lunch at The Village Maid. Food was really tasty & plentiful service very prompt & friendly. We're now both feeling thoroughly stuffed. Highly recommend

Excellent food and service. Fair prices too.

Really lovely pub and good staff. Food looked and smelt amazing so will definitely eat next time

Super atmosphere, lovely staff and great food. Plenty of parking, and a comfortable ambience. Will be back to try the smoked haddock next time.

They have good food , I ate their I’ll say 10 times. But more important they don’t seem to like Americans. I over heard me being called a Yarbo I had no idea what that was till I googled it . I went to have lunch at 2:45 they had a large crowd and when I sat at the bar the waitress was amazingly rude telling me I can only have bread and dip . I said I’m here early and would like lunch. She said I was rude and to get out .I was shocked I always am kind and leave a big tip . I understand she was flustered but hay it’s your job . I tried to reason with the manager on email but was again treated rudely.Eat at your own risk they then tried to imply I was rude to someone online to justify their anti America attitude.When I told the waitress I wanted the owners phone number she laughed and said they won’t listen to you .Well when all is said and done I’ve eaten at this place at least 8 times since covid . It’s amazing what a big tip will allow you . The Company banned me lol but a big tip seems to cancel that . Believe me except for the fact it’s the only restaurant in lound I have no choice.Again Anti America but not anti big tip 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣. Be careful what you say management is a bit sensitive.😂🤣😂.Now with mask wearing I eat their often lolThey don’t know it’s the American Yarbo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haven't visited for a while, we had the Christmas lunch, excellent food and service, Will definitely return.

Exceptional service from the lovely staff and fantastic food.Went here with my sister's for a drink and some food. The surrounding are very modern and tasteful, with a lovely atmosphere. Food didn't take too long to come and we were not rushed to order at all.The waiting staff went out of their way, to make sure we were well looked after. Very reasonable prices and lovely food, presented beautifully.Will 100% be returning and highly recommend this place, for somewhere to eat and drink.

Excellent food, service and venue. Everything is exceptionally well done, from the ingredients, to the cooking, to the range and quality of drinks. We usually opt for the fish and chips, after recommendations from friends, but everything we have had has been wonderful. The fish and chips are well worth the visit alone, but there is a good range of dishes on the menu, including at least 2 fully vegan ones. I took my mum there earlier in the week and she's already planning to go back soon. You can't book the outdoor tables, but we've always managed to get one, and it's really calm and relaxing sitting out in the country. The inside is lovely too, however. Generous portions of top quality food, served by friendly staff (attentive but not overbearing) - a lovely place to visit. Apologies that my photo doesn't do the food justice!

Only had a starter prawn cocktail, as just wanted a snack but it was amazing and so was their cappocino.
