Blackwater Bistro - Maldon

What a friendly place. we came from a walk straight in the time to avoid the rain and were found by the dear lady who found us a table in us. eating was very valuable and well cooked. Word of warning when they order a grilled chicken sandwich and the chili fries they must really be hungry to eat it all!

A warm welcome from the chef and staff at this charming bistro. They served one of the tastiest roast dinners we’ve ever had. We look forward to visiting here again soon.

We stopped by for a drink and were greeted by friendly staff, enjoyed ice-cold beer, and loved the fantastic location. We will definitely be back soon to try the amazing-looking food. We can't believe it took us almost 8 months to finally visit. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Six of us were let down at another pub for Sunday Roast, but we phoned late on the bank holiday Sunday and were greeted by a very helpful person who said if we arrived by 3:30, he would fit us in. When we got there, the bar and restaurant area was very busy, but the staff were lovely and helpful. We sat outside after ordering because the inside was packed. While we were enjoying our drinks and waiting for our food, it started to rain. They moved us under cover and then found us seating inside just before the food arrived. The food was stunning! Cooked to perfection, it was the best beef roast I have ever had in a restaurant. All six of us agreed. It wasn't expensive either - 2 courses and a drink worked out to just over £22 per person. Well done to the chef and bar staff, you were amazing. We will definitely be back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roast.
