For a Wetherspoon pub this was great. A historic building in the middle of the High Street in a very nice little town in East Anglia! We didn't realise it was a Wetherspoon until the menu showed up, so pleasantly surprised. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and well prepared food. Everything was top notch for our impromptu day out in Maldon.

Food is a good price, but you get what you pay for, my steak was supposed to have 3 onion rings, but only 1 and 3/4, it wasn't great. My partner food had aluminium foil stuck on the bottom of it, do your staff know how dangerous Ingestion of aluminium foil is !!!!!!!Perhaps Tim Martin would like to reply

For context this was Wednesday afternoon - so customers but not crazy like I imagine Friday/Saturday nights. Great festival alea at a decent price. Good service... Pleasant atmosphere with WiFi - handy if like me just fancy an ale and listen to some podcasts. I didn't try the food but the menu is excellent and from previous experience of Wetherspoons , I'm sure it's decent

Typical Wetherspoons, good value and good food options. Ordering by the app works well. Lots of space inside and some outside. Good location in the high street with Butt Lane car park behind.

Miserable staff. Slow service. The beer might be cheap but this place is soulless. If you're a manager and the bar is busy SERVE people...don't stand around chatting. You're no more important than any other employee.

Nice pub. Great value as always. Disappointed that we didn't get our peppercorn steak and when we asked for it they wanted us to pay extra although it was part of the deal :( but the food was still very nice

One of Wetherspoons better establishments. Has a traditional pub feel to it. Only downside was we were a large group and at last orders a couple of is waited at the bar to be served then the bar person said they were closed. When we said we were waiting from before closing time they said the manager wouldn't allow them to serve anymore. As the 8 of us were all having a 'nightcap' it seems Mr Martin missed out on a few quid there. Apart from that it was fine.

They rang the bell for last orders then proceeded to tell everyone that came for "last orders" that they couldn't serve them as they were understaffed... It was Wednesday night and between the THREE of them, they could managed with the 3 customers at the bar. With ease. bad service.

The pub looked small from the outside but once you went inside it was very big and spacious, staff were very helpful and friendly,had outside area where you could also eat or just drink, food was good, didn't have to wait long at all,

Always a good place to meet friends, have a nice meal and a drink. Very relaxed atmosphere, polite and friendly service. Not too expensive.

I bet this pub is no where near as good as it was 25 years ago? I have been in a few times since it became a Wetherspoons but not in the past 5 years.I have just been remembering some of the hot summer days that I wasted my life away in the 1990's, with people I remember fondly!Would be fun to have a re-union with the old crowd - maybe pose for photos of Now and Then, Reg on a stool where he used to sit after using the window of Reeves and Sons to comb his hair before making his entrance bang on 10.30pm?

It?s a Wetherspoons! No more no less. Great value for money, huge selection of beers served in good condition. The Rose and Crown has a pleasant ambience and good service. The food is rather average but you can?t complain for the price.

The kitchen staff has changed over, over the past year and the food was awful! I ordered a burger and it was so burnt you couldn't bite through it. The manager after seeing it was shocked and got it remade but had the same issue. The staff were nice, although the wait and food was not.

I have become a big fan of Weatherspoon, they cater for vegans, have the best selection of none alcoholic beers I found anywhere and you can have as much coffee as you like.
