The Queens Head is a large family friendly pub on the attractive River Blackwater in Maldon. Approaching from road it looks like a pretty Victorian pub and indeed the smaller bar that side of the pub is rather comfortable and traditional. Around the back however, where the swathe of outdoor seating is, you'll find a more modern bar and the main entrance. Here the interior looks pretty bland - rather like a bar on a cross-channel ferry, which seems somewhat apt. Still, the watery views from the large windows make up for it. There's a heavy emphasis on food and there were plenty of kiddies around, in what is a very family friendly area. Pleasing, then, that the grown-ups were catered for with a choice of six ales, some locally sourced. So, not an outstanding pub, but it's certainly competent in most ways and is fine for a stop-off pint or a bite of eat.
