The Kangaroo Hotel Reviews
What a cool unexpected place to stumble across. We were just driving through the town and stopped for a beer. Lovely staff and patrons. The paintings/ prints on the walls were stunning. Thanks to Donna for the Christmas beverage on the house!

We went here last weekend. We were given a table & told food was about 30 minutes. Went into the bar to get a drink only to then be told no food orders would be taken. You can understand that things crop, however they were very rude in how they handled it. We have eaten there several times in the past. Never again. Why did they bother sitting is down even after waiting for one.

We just went out for a drive and embarked on this little country town pub. It is a very welcoming and homely place. Beer garden was just wonderful. The whole place is child friendly. Staff is so so so friendly and relaxed. Food was good and the portions I would say are large. Would definitely go back.

Wednesday lunch, the place was packed, the limited staff were tremendous, remembering each customer's drink order while serving meals.
No problems with splitting the bill for our large party at the end.

This is a great pub with pleasant and helpful staff. We booked at short notice as was found a table in the garden out back. The weather was great so this suited us well. It was busy which is not unexpected on a Sunday in Maldon. Each of us selected different dishes, Salmon, Steak and a Lamb Curry. We all agreed that the meals were fantastic. Parking is plentiful as well. William there again on our next visit.

Small, but delicious menu. Have about half-a-dozen pub classics, but the ones we enjoyed were cooked perfectly! The porterhouse steak in particular was perfection.
A good selection of drinks at the bar, including Harcourts Cider on tap, as well as some premium spirits (alongside the classics).
Service was excellent - a real family feel. Everyone on staff was friendly. Food was delivered fairly quickly.
Inside is old, but not in a run-down way, instead in a classic country pub way.
Will certainly be back on our next visit to Maldon.

Please consider a visit, it's a local independent pub, with no TAB or pokies! In terms of tap beer; it's CUB including Guinness, plus Harcourt cider. And in the fridge, ShedShaker and Holgate; so over all Beer Variety 8 / 10.
Wine is almost universally sourced locally, which is truely supporting local 👍
There is a dining room, and outdoor beer garden.
Plus, check with pub, there's a good chance for live music!
The only drawback is that there are accessibility issues regarding facilities and actually getting in 😥. It is an acknowledged issue that is in the pipeline to be remedied.
Give this place a go! Cheers with beers 🍻

Lovely pub. Really friendly staff working.
Plus they have their glasses chilled!!!
Nice to sit for a while under the veranda and watch the world go by!
Also, I paid with the wrong card, with no hassle I was refunded and paid again.

Jess was truly the best and the place was very accommodating, finding an extra table for me and my friends despite being fully booked out. The food portions were awesome and fairly priced, the food itself was delicious with the comfort of a home cooked meal. The staff are hospitable and made us feel like welcomed friends even as first time visitors. The pub is warm and cosy with roaring fireplaces

Great food and wonderful, friendly service. Our small group felt incredibly welcome the moment we walked in.The kangaroo hotel beer garden is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a leisurely Sunday lunch in Maldon!

Great, easy to find local pub with true historical features and a beautiful garden out the back. The hosts and staff are friendly and helpful. The food was top notch & delicious with plenty of options to suit dietary needs or restrictions.
I don't live in the area, but will definitely recommend it if you are stopping by Maldon.
I will also be back, if only to explore their great & varied wine list packed with local wine, & cider.
Thanks Donna & Co - can't wait to visit again!
The pics are from a recent live music gig I attended - great music and vibe too.

Great country pub with ambience, cheerful staff and that quirky little town pub feel. Humble but honest menu and decently priced. Lots of undercover space out back if the inside is booked out as well as curb dude seating. We'll worth a visit and a relaxing amber after walking the Maldon shops.

Great atmosphere,good food. Dawn went over and above what was needed. I mistakenly handed over what I thought was a meal voucher that our son gave us. It turned out to nor really being a voucher but Dawn honered it anyway even though we tried to pay. And thank you Dawn, the Port is delicious.

Fantastic food , Great Staff..If you have travelled by steam train to Malden advise the staff so meals are prompt. Eclectic array of dining tables in dinning room, small bar to the left with outdoor seating. The hotel is just off the main road sitting on the corner. 2 minute walk into town.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch and all the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Sat outside in the beer garden where our young children were free to play and run around. Meals (steak and fish & chips) were cooked perfectly and delicious. Bread and butter pudding was the best I’ve ever had!
We’ll be back 👍

Donna was so ruddy nice. My partner and I met a lovely bunch of locals and I even made a new friend (word up Richard). We mosdef will be back. There is also a gallery there by a local phenomenol artist. Donna was so kind and even bought us a drink each to celebrate the holidays. Next time, I'll try the food and update. Sam and Kaz.

County pub, where made to feel comfortable by the lady running the place. Didn't have time for a meal, but the beer was cold (that's the most important thing 🤣)
Relaxing atmosphere out the back.

Beautiful local pub and the staff are fantastic. Great little collection of beers, wine and spirits. Went for a drink Saturday night and decided we would come back for the Sunday lunchtime roast. The roast was beautiful but OMG the bread and butter pudding was homemade and honestly the best l have ever tasted. Lovely setting including a log fire and seating outdoors if you have your four legged friends with you. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed 😁

As far as an authentic Aussie pub goes, this place ticks all the boxes. Gorgeous historic building that hasn't been messed up, no pokies *big tick* , roaring fire, great tasty food, had the curry, local wines and friendly service. Will be back.

A gem of a place in the heart of Maldon, the Kangaroo is whacky, warm and welcoming. Totally inclusive (it's something of an LGBTQI+ haven), the staff are down to earth, funny and kooky in precisely the right way. Not a late night hangout, it's best to go early. Terrific grub and decent wine list. A must, even for a quick beer and chat.
