Quayside charm

The location is super, right on the quay. The building is very old and charming. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is great, the menu is super, with lots of fish. The chef made special orders for breakfast. The quay and town have a great choice of alternative eating. The bathroom was good. The air conditioning worked very well, for heating as well as cooling. There are paid car parks a short walk away. Traffic is very quiet, out of season. There is a parking bay for an hour's free parking to unload. Accessibility in the building is poor. Corridors are narrow and low, and the stairway is steep and uneven, accessed through the kitchen. The bedroom needed maintenance - the bed moved while sitting up, because the headboard was loose. There was no hot water in the sink. The toilet macerator was noisy. The pub has no parking, and the local free parking fills up. The quay has early deliveries in large trucks. Despite the fame of Maldon oysters, we didn't find any anywhere!

Liked: Staff & service
When we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly although booking in system a bit chaotic and we did not receive all information about servicing rooms on daily basis. Ran out of towels, clean crockery, coffees and no hand wash in bathrooms. Bathrooms not very clean and floors decidedly grubby. A real shame as perfect location and very nice staff, maybe management issue! Rod and Sue

Lovely Maldon trip.

Had an over-nighter with my old man. Comfy room, aircon, lovely view over the river... Delicious breakfast the following morning. Parking can be a bit iffy, but we found a space nearby... better from October, when all the regulations ease. The bar was well stocked and we had massive dinners! Plenty of shops a short walk away.

Historic pub in a great location

I really liked this place because its such an historic building in a fantastic location. I particularly liked that the building had been built in the 1600's - I had been reading Daniel Defoe's account of coming to Maldon in 1700 and eating turbot, which he said was very good in the town. I was pleased to find turbot on the menu at Fish on the Quay - maybe he stayed here! We had a lovely view of the sunrise over the river and the Thames barges outside. It was bliss to wake up to the sound of sea birds in the morning. The pub wasn't noisy at all. The landlady Babs couldn't be more welcoming.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, food very good, good selection of fish dishes. Location is brilliant, like going back in time seeing all the Thames barges and able to take a trip on them. Only slight issue is the bathroom could do with a upgrade
