Brasserie 1 - Maldon

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

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.
