Seedy Blenders in Uttlesford

I’ve had takeaway chips several times. Really, really good chips. Always pleasant service.

Nice breakfast before setting off on flight ✈️ highly recommend trying it.

We came here for my birthday this year based on the menu we saw online and the fact that we’d come here last year and always meant to make it back. I called earlier in the day to check regarding children’s menu and a gluten free menu and was told not to worry as all food is made fresh and there was usually as a minimum a burger and fish a chips that fulfilled this. I enquired whether I had to make a booking for this afternoon and was told to just come down. How I wish We didn’t bother and chose somewhere Else. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived and for a fair duration after, and was told that even though they opened at 5 they wouldn’t take a food order until 6pm. Which is of course fine, so we had ample time to prepare our order and was ready to order as soon as they were ready to take it! We the proceeded to wait 55 minutes before even a peek of food turned up and only because we had asked how long it would be after 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour. When the food came it was luke warm at best, so cold for other diners that it got sent back for a quick dunk back in some oil. Fish was so bland and watery, and the peas came in their own little bowl of water which was nice, nearly as nice as the 4 hairs that we found across the meals, naturally half way through the meal but we darent send anything back with 4 starving children and a very strong Will to get the hell out of there. Please- save yourself the pain of this place and go somewhere Else.

Even a professional moaner (and there’s plenty of them on here) would struggle to find anything bad about this hotel, pub and restaurant. Clean and comfortable rooms at a reasonable price and the start were a delight. All in a stunning setting. Thanks for a great stay.

Booked for a big group family lunch. All had the roast which was great quality and value. Limited menu unfortunately however due to staff shortage and this sadly affected service which was slow. Yet we would return as it was very nice.
