The Fox And Hound Pub - Maldon

We had the loveliest time here today! A table of 9 booked in, last minute. We had a few issues with the online booking system, but once we dropped an email we got a very swift and extremely friendly response, confirming our reservation. 5 adults and 4 children of varied ages. Staff were all incredibly welcoming and professional, especially Josh who was our main server. He went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were attended too, even offering to take a coffee order for us after our meal and bringing them to us in the outdoor area so we could relax in the sun. Food was fantastic. We ordered a range of meals and everybody was impressed with starters, mains and desserts. A great choice of food, from regular country pub fare to more varied twists on classics. Everything cooked from fresh and to a high standard. The children’s menu was especially of note. Very child friendly choices but still high quality food, generous portions (even for an older child) and the range of desserts was excellent. They were spoiled for choice and couldn’t believe their eyes when the food arrived. Having worked in the hospitality sector myself for quite some years, I’m quite particular. It was so lovely to have our expectations blown away and to enjoy such a relaxed and pleasant afternoon being so well looked after. A big thanks to the whole team, including the chefs.

A wonderful family meal in a great pub. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. We will be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Went on a Saturday afternoon with friends for a late lunch. We each had a different main meal but all were excellent and plentiful. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The apple pie/danish with ice cream was excellent as well. Empty plates all round apart from what we couldnt manage. Would definitely recommend this pub in a nice quiet location with excellent food.

What a welcoming place after a long hike in the beautiful Essex countryside. Lovely food and very friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Had an excellent lunch whitebait followed by fish finger sandwich food was delicious and service attentive and friendly. Such a nice atmosphere and felt welcomed
