Brasserie 1 - Maldon

During our stay at the hotel for a lively competition, we were disappointed to find that they only offered a buffet menu with no other options available. We decided that next time we will dine in the bar instead.

2 meat options on the menu, the remaining vegetarian. the menu is completely different from the one on the website and also different from one outside the restaurant so we were very disappointed! buffet was so long under the lights. tomaten soup tasted as if they had crushed tomato, very bitter!

Nice eating and great atmosphere. good selection at buffet

The buffet at this restaurant was a good value for the money, offering a great selection of high-quality dishes. It was a perfect choice for a satisfying meal.

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
