"The salad buffet was quiet disapointing as a lot of various potatoes/pasta salads too salty and full of mayonnaise. Only one choice of dressing. It would be nice to see more interesting things like hummus, beetroot, crispy onions, croutons etc. The main's carvery meat was really great and I loved the selection of vegs with it but some of it were left on pass for ages so the yorshire pudding the potatoes all was chewy rather than crispy. The best bit about the buffet was the desert selection! But was so glad we didnt go for the menu a la carte all the plates that came out looked unimpressive and quite expensive considering the size. Every tables around us were sending back their plates to the kitchen"

During a lively competition at the hotel, we were disappointed to find that only a buffet menu was available with no other options. Next time, I will opt to dine in the bar instead. View menu

There are two meat options available on the menu, with the rest being vegetarian. We were disappointed to find that the menu was completely different from what was shown on the website and outside the restaurant. The buffet had been sitting under the lights for too long. The tomato soup tasted bitter as if it had been made with crushed tomatoes.

We had a meal at the Brasserie on Valentines night. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't even a flower in a vase on the table. There were 2 options, Al La Carte menu or buffet 3 courses for £24.95. We opted for the buffet. There was alot of choice for starters, fresh prawns, meats, salads, breads. I had the soup which was piping hot and delicious. Mains were a mix of fish, meats, Thai and was quite tasty but could have been hotter. Desserts were various pastries and mousses and again very nice. Overall good value for money.

"We come to Maldon fairly regularly and occasionally stay over. The New Pavilion is was one of our favourite go to restaurants. We arrived at 7:30, as booked, and were very happy to see the front restaurant full except for our table for two. We ordered drinks at the bar and sat at our table. Maybe we should have been more aware of the situation when, after about 15 minutes, we had to tell the staff we were now ready to order. The young waitress was very apologetic and we said it was no problem, not her fault as she was doing two jobs waitressing and covering the bar as the barman had literally disappeared and was occasionally seen serving an old meal. Now we were waiting. 40 minutes? During this time we noticed a number of people shaking their heads at the staff. People walking out after questioning the service and the delay. The poor waitress, we could literally hear her in the back room crying. When our starters came we cancelled our main courses. My wife said my baked Camembert looked like a crème brûlée. I did eat it though and pay for it. I was not going to put the waitress through any more stress. I spoke to the barman as we were leaving and he seemed very surprised that I mentioned the overload of work the waitress was doing covering both jobs. He never said what he was doing during his absence. I did say that as he was obviously not the owner it was probably not his fault as well. All the tables in our corner agreed with what I told the bar manager and we’re about to leave without food. I will be very interested to see the owners reply and any excuse he comes up with. There’s no excuse. Get more staff. Hopefully the waitress has walked across the road to a top restaurant that treat their staff better. She was brilliant and deserved better treatment."
