Had a really great meal here. Highly recommend some smoked cheese to take home too!

We've been here several times over the last few years and every time the food has been amazing, the service friendly, and the river - muddy! The place is obviously very popular in the summer with the outdoor tables and we did wonder how warm it would be in the cabins on a cold winters day but they were well heated and we were toasty. Food was amazing as usual, we both had the burger for the first time and both agreed that it was tasty, filling, and original - neither of us have had a burger like it before. We'll be back for sure.

We have been here on several occasions for birthday celebrations as the room at the front with a view of the river is wonderful and brilliant for up to about 17 people to sit around one horseshoe table. The last occasion this month was no exception and we ordered plates of seafood and vegetarian plates for starters followed by a varietuy of dishes from the full menu - all of which were much enjoyed. Matt and Erica were brilliant both in the preparation and organisation and also in the actual waiter service. You can take your own alcohol if you wish but they do have a license and if you wish to decorate the room for an occasion as we did they are fully supportive. I have had loads of comoliments about the food and the venue and would highly recommend for similar occasions,

This is the third time I have been here, and have enjoyed every visit.Recently under new management (which was actually the management a few years ago)The overboard platter is huge and varied. No complaints about any food (chips are superb)They have a selection of wines and beers, but are also BYO, with no corkage fees. Main dishes are around £25, which can add up, but if you take your own wine it works out a good value for money meal.I’m and outdoor seating on the river bank.

We thoroughly enjoyed lunch today (sasuage & mash/fish and chips) both meals were great and generous portions... but what really made our visit was the lovely waitress she was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, she waited on our dog too bringing him different treats. Shout out to the lovely waitress!!!

A hidden gem! Fabulous tasty food with a wonderful view! We had the smoked salmon which was smoked here and was so delicious ! Well worth the little drive along a narrow road down to the estuarys edge. Can't wait to return in the summer to sit outside. You can also take your own wine to have with your meal!

We had a really nice meal at Maldon Smokehouse. It was our destination on the walk from Witham to Maldon and well worth the trip. Very reasonably priced, good portion sizes and really nice staff. Seared scallops and smoked prawns was the stand out - with all the butter sauce to mop up ?

One of the best meals we had so far in Essex. All ingredients fresh and tasted amazing. So surprised about the salmon and sea bass wellington, great flavour and recommended 100%! Cozy place and very kind staff, price for quality is great and it is also pet friendly which is super! we will be back for

Wow! A riverside setting in the old Smokery huts of Maldon. Rustic charm and easy parking! Tucked away giving it a unique feel! Absolutely fantastic service, food and ambience. So good we’re going back for brunch today.
Visited Saturday lunchtime with family. Had a wonderful experience, fantastic food and service. Lobster burger was amazing and the staff so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Love this place as it is like nowhere else around and just a little quirky. Well worth a visit.

Had lunch with friends the food was 10 out of 10, we had mixed lunches lobster and prawn burgers, braised beef and classic moules , cheese cakes and their smoked cheese platter. We was looked after by the owners very friendly and welcoming people. Quite a drive for us but would go again. Great setting on the tidel bank of the river Blackwater.
