Welcome to The Muddy Duck, a family-run, riverside pub that has been serving the people of Maldon since it was originally built. Blending a love of great drinks, good company and lovely atmospheres we’ve created a place where people of all ages can unwind and enjoy the riverfront views. So come by, kick back and stay a while.

WHAT’S THE QUACK

Named after spotting baby ducks waddling across the nearby marshland, The Muddy Duck reflects its waterside roots. Family and dog-friendly, full of charm and never short on character. Situated on the cusp of Maldon, just off Maldon high street, we’re the perfect pit stop before Market Hill - keeping the feel of a classic pub, with a lively buzz when the sun’s out.

We’re proud to keep Maldon buzzing with regular events. From live music and karaoke nights to music bingo, shanty festivals and more there’s always something happening at The Muddy Duck. Big nights when you want them, laid-back riverside vibes when you don’t. The best of both, all in one place.
