Sunny Side Cafe in Uttlesford

One of the worst fish and chips I've had. Chips was just warm and looked as if they had sat there for ages. Cod fish was small and the batter was soggy. For the price I paid

Jd quality food recommendations instead to get sandwich, unlimited tea/coffee and seat at the window-to watch landing ✈️

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.

First time here and had a very nice evening, nice welcome and very Christmassy look and feel. Very warm and cosy feeling to the place. Staff welcomed us and Laura served us throughout, she was lovely and a real credit to you, nothing was too much trouble. Started with the crispy duck and ribs which were amazing, the table had lots of different starters and everyone said the same…. Yum. Mains went down very well too and good portion sizes, everything was hot and well presented. We was a large group and everyone was served food at same time in a timely manner. Lovely evening, thank you

Flying from Stansted in the early hours so we rebooked this hotel as it was so amazing for us last summer! Staff, atmosphere, room all still amazing but last time we stayed in their rooms next door, off the pub and we much preferred it. This time we stayed above the pub and I didn’t realise how loud it would be until 11/11:30pm when the pub closed. I’m sure this would be ok for the regular customer who was making use of the pub until that time, but if you were travelling to the airport I would request not to have a room above the pub. All was still lovely just a comment to bear in mind for others!
