Fish On The Quay

Lovely place to stay, staff are super friendly and helpful, food was amazing highly recommend the scampi n chips, room was spotlessly clean and the bed pillows and duvet were quality. Quirky way to enter the rooms either through the bar or down the side via the kitchen area however we found this really lovely.

Spent my birthday going for a walk around Maldon, a place I left over 20 years ago, but where I grew up as a child. Fish on the Quay used to be the Jolly Sailor in my youth, but has now been renamed. We had our dog with us, but he's nervous of other dogs, and the management kindly accommodated our request to be somewhere quiet out of the way of other customers. The food was awesome, from the crab, to the fish and chips. Thoroughly recommended.

The chef is brilliant here. My son has a restricted diet and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. I had the tempura squid which was melt in the mouth, everyone knows how difficult squid is to cook and this was top notch. The main course was a tuna steak salad, nicely cooked with an oriental twist to the salad. My companions were equally impressed - they had the mussels which were so fresh they still smelled of the sea, and the pan fried sea bass I am told was absolutely delicious. I didn’t take pictures I was too busy enjoying! Check it out!
