Lovely place. Had the full English & tea, delicious. Some of the museum attractions are outside, so you can see them as you come in/out. Nice gardens to enjoy whilst eating.

Being an old cheese toastie, means I am an awkward customer, but all the staff, always give their very best and the experience is always brilliant. What makes it even better is MOP is a really fantastic Essex enclave.

Wow, what a find! We were making the most of a mild autumn day outside when we stumbled across The Steam Pump Tea Room. The tea room is conveniently located alongside the museum in the former Langford Pumping Station, and the building has been beautifully restored to serve these new purposes. The homemade Victoria sponge was delicious (and a huge slice!), and the Terry's Chocolate Orange hot chocolate was out of this world and something I've never seen offered in any other cafe! Thank you for making our day, Sam and team!

not just your average tea room ...

Situated within a former steam pumping station (now the Museum of Power) The Steam Pump Tea Room provides a unique and charming setting to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or just a pot of tea and cake.

There's plenty to see here too during your visit - the Museum of Power has lots to offer inside and also provides great scenery and space to wander around the grounds outside. It takes just 25 minutes to walk along the River Blackwater into the center of Maldon, and with close proximity to Beeleigh Falls - it's the perfect place to stop in for a well-earned rest.
