As a pub, it does what it says on the tin and the welcome was friendly.

The food however was really disappointing. Ordered a ribeye steak at £24.99 , requested it cooked medium and it came so well done it was like rubber. Chicken nuggets deep fried so much the middle was pretty much plastic and the kid wouldnt eat them. Over done and very disappointing. I should point out we were advised it was the first day of a new menu, so perhaps will improve. But on out visit we would not recommend the food.

I cannot however fault the friendly welcome and the service.

Beautiful location.
Friendly hard working staff.
Amazing food, very reasonably priced.
Thankyou all at The Maltsters, we will definitely return.
The seafood platter looked amazing!
We were very impressed with our sharing picnic platter lunch. So much for the price, and everything of top quality standard and delicious. The staff boxed up what we couldn't eat to take home.
We would recommend this place 100%.
Book your table as it fills up quickly due to its popularity.

Great location near the broad. Good sized car park, available for free overnight campervan stays if you eat in the pub. Good food although maybe a little pricey. There is a pizza hut in the pub garden which is good value. Several real ales on tap.

Lovely pint and a picnic board. Owner could see I was cycling on my own and brought out a box for me to take leftovers home. I'll let the picture speak for itself but suffice to say it was cheaper than a main and no chance of finishing!

Lovely pub with friendly staff.

Sadly I just missed out on the ploughman's sharer platter on the day we visited. It looked excellent and I was certainly jealous of the tables who managed to order before it ran out!

The Goats cheese sharer was an excellent second choice and we enjoyed some fantastic local beers with our lunch. The kids shared a pizza from the outside kitchen and demolished the whole thing.

If you're in the area or moored up on a boating holiday, I can certainly recommend stopping for lunch, dinner or even a quick pint.

We went out for my birthday, we saw the Maltsters online and thought we would give it a try.
You have to want go there to find it, but it is worth the trip!
It looks great its in a great location, the staff are great and the food too.
Its not pretentious fiod, proper pub fare, scampi, burgers, fish and chips but it is well cooked and there is plenty of it!
I had a burger, it was home made and honest, coukd have done with some more seasoning fir my taste but it was great, the onion rings were nit greasy and the chips were good.
My lady had the Scampi and again, nicely cooked with Tartar sauce and chips.
Outside is a lovely covered area and plenty of soace for dining alfresco.
Loads of parking, ckean toilets and across the road from the Broads.
What a find.

Beautiful food, great service, with a huge range of Beers Wines and Spirits.
A proper place to chill outside by the river, or by a log fire on the inside.
Either way, this place hits all of the right spots.

Came here twice in one day (once at lunch time and then again later in the evening). Visited while on a 7 day boating holiday. Such a nice friendly atmosphere here, the burger and chips were delicious. I drank San Miguel and later in the evening, came back for drinks outs again and dish of chips, then sticky toffee pudding with Ice Cream. Great quantities and quality.

Service is not timed right though with serving meals, just wish they would time the food so that we would all be eating at near enough the same at our table. There were 4 of us and 2 people's dinners arrived first then 5 minutes later someone else and last mine took the longest 10 minutes while everyone had nearly finished their dinner and was on to their second drink.

If I'm ever back in the area, I'll come here again.
