The Blue Boar Hotel, Maldon

I drink in the Blue Boar fairly regularly, the beer is excellent, staff are friendly and food is good. The local (brewery across the car park) Farmers ales are particularly good. All proper beer is served by gravity and is well kept.

We like this pub very much and think it is the best in Maldon, but with the following caveat.

From time to time (rarely, luckily) there is a man who wanders around the Pub, he appears to be the owner. He seems to take great joy in making arbitry rules, e.g. Dogs are allowed anywhere, dogs only in the front bar, he tries to tell us about the beer/history of the pub/town etc. However we think we are in the Pub more than he is! The good thing is he seems to go on holiday (sailing?) & owns a farm so in NOT a regular fixture!! But I shut up because I don't wan to be banned!

I rate the pub 10 if the owner is not there! But still 6 if he is, the beer is worth it!!
