The Queen Victoria Public House - Maldon

Always delighted with coming back here. Not only are the owners superb, the staff are always helpful, friendly and happy to be working there...either that, or they are very good at acting 😂 Being vegan, it is always nice to have a choice of delicious food, a little hard to make the choice with knowing it is all good. Highly recommended with coming here. The food choice is amazing and the large extensive drinks available along with the friendly staff, makes this pub a delight to come back, again and again.

If you’re looking for a bit of Bavaria in Essex, the Queen Victoria Pub in Maldon absolutely nailed it with their Oktoberfest night. Picture this: a lively marquee draped in German flags, an oompah band belting out a mix of classic English and German tunes (yes, “Sweet Caroline” made an appearance, of course). I went with a group of friends, and let’s just say it was less ‘Heathrow holding pattern’ and more ‘wheels up’ on the fun front.

The atmosphere was infectious—every table was buzzing, the beer was flowing (though I opted for some bubbly Prosecco to keep things a bit First Class, naturally). The bratwurst menu was as authentic as you’d expect, and the staff were fully committed to the occasion, decked out in traditional German garb, serving drinks at the table like a well-rehearsed cabin crew, only with less turbulence and more lederhosen.

The oompah band was the highlight. Equal parts hilarious and talented, they had the crowd singing along to everything. It was one of those nights where everyone—whether on their first pint or their fourth—was united in song. I haven’t seen this much group participation since an in-flight safety demo!

All in all, the Queen Victoria gave us an Oktoberfest to remember. If you’re after a fun night out, a cheeky singalong, and a Prosecco (or three), this pub has your boarding pass ready. Just make sure you bring your best “prost!” and an appetite for bratwurst!

After a long drive from London, we stopped at the pub for food. The welcoming staff and service were remarkable.
I ordered the smoked haddock with stilton and my husband ordered the burgers. Both options were delicious. With my food. I had vegetables which were cooked to perfection and in lieu of the mash I ordered the GF fries, absolutely delicious.
Highly recommended pub.

Friendly staff very knowledgeable about their menu and drinks and made us feel very welcome. Drinks and food menu extensive, dietary requirements well labelled. My daughter delighted as menu so varied with adjustments possible to dishes she had more choice than she's had for a long time. Food excellent and good value for money. We look forward to returning but do advise booking, they're very popular and with good reason.

Just had the Christmas festive menu meal this afternoon and we all agreed that it was faultless. The service was perfect, the waitress was very helpful and the Christmas decorations were so lovely and tasteful. Well done to you all.
