If you’re in Maldon this week, make time for a wander along the Hythe and a proper stop for something local to eat and drink — there’s nothing quite like a riverside bite with the barges coming and going. We’re also on the lookout for the town’s unsung heroes: the bakery you’ll cross town for, the pub with the best Sunday roast, or the café that always gets your coffee spot on. Where are you taking friends when you want to show off Maldon at its tastiest?
Love a potter along the Hythe when it’s quiet, but for food I swear by the Balti King for a proper curry after a river walk — what’s everyone’s go-to spot for a quick lunch that isn’t just a sandwich?
Hythe’s a lovely wander when the barges are moving about, then I usually take mates to the Maldon Smokehouse for something local and a pint. Any good bakery shout that’s not the obvious chains?
I’m a sucker for a bag of Maldon sea salt from the shop and a quick bite at the Queens Head after a stroll along the Hythe. Where do you rate for coffee that’s actually decent in town?
I always drag people to Promenade Park after a Hythe stroll, then nip into Mrs Salisbury’s Famous Tea Rooms for a cuppa and cake. Anyone found a pub in town that does a proper Sunday roast without needing to book a week ahead?
