The Crown & Thistle in Uttlesford

Fab little local with a great size menu filled with Thai delights. Very pretty building and village. Green curry was well spiced and recommended. Good sized portions and service was excellent, friendly, prompt and warm welcome. Would return, it might take a while to work through the menu but there is an amazing choice, everything sounded great! Only item that was just about ok was the salt and pepper squid, a little bland and and a bit overcooked so was chewy but its hard to get squid spot so don't wish to be harsh, probably just a one off. It was still rather nice and batter was perfect. Overall a very satisfying meal. Open fire in the bar area was lovely on a chilly evening and the decor is cozy and clean. Was mid week so quiet, but expected. Thanks for a nice experience and hope to see you again for some delicious Thai food.

Very nice Tai food, it's expensive but you do get really good food. In the top 3 pubs in Cambridge in my opinion!

Really good food, really good service, and I can highly recommend the weeping tiger steak. The steak was really good and cooked perfectly. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. A really enjoyable meal.

The Crown and Thistle is a good place to eat. It has a very sensible Thai curry and Thai stir fry menu. The service is excellent, welcoming and very professional. The atmosphe is warm, decore is traditional, clean and simple. Good place to go in any UK season.

The waitress is very nice and she makes the effort to speak French with a touch of very appreciable humor

We called here on our way up the A1 to Yorkshire after our holidays in Belgium. Completely random using Google maps (en route restaurants feature), so we had no idea what to expect, only that it was rated 4.5. Turns out it's a beautiful little village with a smart looking pub that serve Thai food!! Result !! The food was outstanding and very authentic, presented beautifully and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Flawless experience and much appreciated, what an amazing pit stop. Highly recommended.

Fabulous hostelry.. great beer, food and service. Highly recommended..

Had the days special, noodles with veg and prawns plus Thai green sauce. Fresh fragrant and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. The aperol spritz was chilled and nicely presented Would certainly recommend.

Food was delicious, you need to book, friendly staff, lovely setting.

Quality pub with great beers and excellent food

Glad we choose this pub for our pub lunch from our office team. Wonderful ambience. Food was tasty. Plenty of options. Mark was very helpful in arranging everything and service was swift. Definitely a 5 star experience. Would recommend and will come back again.

Chilled place for Thai or pizza

Six of us enjoyed a delicious meal with fine wines and beers. Thank you.

Good range of beers, lovely food. Nice atmosphere on a Saturday evening.

Great pub with excellent thai food! Have been twice and had great thai food both times! Highly reccomend

Wonderful pub. Only wish it was open earlier in the evenings and on Sundays.

Love this pub. Excellent food and very friendly staff. A lovely cozy pub.

Great food ,staff really nice good service Relaxed atmosphere

Food is lovely however sometimes is a little under flavoured. The service was a little slow the last time however usually wonderful and atmosphere is lovely however could do with a little background music etc..

Great Thai food and woodfire pizzas; both were ordered! Child-friendly with activities. Well-decorated. Quiet due to half term; friendly and attentive service as a result!

Service was good and food, on the whole, was delicious. My sister ordered the thai fish cakes but she didn't like them. Would definitely go again.

Had the best Thai food ever. It was well cooked and very tasty. Although, I had to wait longer than my teammates to get my food, I guess my order was switched for a different menu item.

One of the best pubs in Cambridge. Huge Thai menu to choose from. Delicious food with generous portions. Loved chocolate fudge cake and even found the fruit juices we ordered to be so fresh! Lovely traditional english interior. Friendly staff and gorgeous area of Cambridge!

We tried to get any kind of food here twice in one day and we're turned way. People were being served and we asked for anything at all as we had not eaten all day. The place looked lovely, the food looked lovely, such a shame they couldn't even give us a bowl of chips.

I arranged a wake here and was not disappointed with the buffet which was excellent value for money. Tea and coffee included.

Vegetarian options were plenty to choose

Stopped for lunch on a Monday. I had a mixed Thai curry and other half had a Thai chow mein. Food is fantastic and so is the service. Thank you 😀

Food is fantastic. Really nice pub ,staff are very friendly

Enjoyed an excellent Thai meal here.

They always give very good food and service Very friendly and helpful staff!

We had yet another excellent meal. Staff are always very helpful.

Six of my family ate at The Crown & Thistle last evening, and had a lovely supper - one of the best commercial Thai meals I've had. My daughter-in- law is Thai, and a trained chef so I have high standards! We met the chef, and she excelled with the food she provided us - my mixed curry was delicious and had a very generous portion of mixed meat and prawns. The young woman who served us deserves special mention as she was friendly and courteous throughout. The pub was very busy (a good sign, especially on a Wednesday) and for anyone interested in such matters, is a dog-friendly zone. We had a two month old baby with us, so we contributed to the general hubbub! Top marks to The Crown altogether

Decent pub with good range of beers. They don't do Thai pizza, but then again, pizza is like a sandwich....anything is possible?

Lovely Thai food. Reasonable prices. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Book now. 😎

Fab food in a lovely part of the country. Excellent service

Great food, fast and friendly service and lots of room to sit inside and out. Would highly recommend the Thai menu here.

Attended a few family wakes here very friendly staff. Great food. Also attended a family meal 8 plus years ago

AMAZING Thai food, great service, ambiance and location. Can’t wait to go back!

Great Thai food and Pizza. And a very nice pub with a decent selection of beers.

I frequently visit the Crown and Thistle for a Thai lunch. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the food is consistently excellent. The Tofu Jungle Curry is a favourite.

Superb food, highly recommended. Great venue too. A bit of a hidden gem.

First class service. Brilliant food. Great landlord. Definitely going back. Proper fresh thai food. Cannot praise it enough

Love this place for Thai food. Great beer selection as well. Would recommend

Took friends to our local last night and once again everybody had a lovely tasty meal! Nice atmosphere and good to see pub busy on a Monday night. The food excellent and staff really friendly.

Food was delicious. Staff friendly and knowledgeable about dishes being served.

Went yhere on a sad occasion the wsje of my best friends Mum lovely pub maybe next time with better times in mind

Lovely staff in a quaint little village...great breakfast and comfortable beds .

They catered for a wake, kind, nice nibbles

Realy great thai food and a warm welcoming atmosphere

Absolutely amazing! After looking for somewhere casual to eat on Google maps and after hearing great reviews decided to try the Crown & Thistle. The food here is absolutely amazing, very flavourful, excellent portion sizes and priced as expected. There is a dining area which in my opinion was a but more formal and then a traditional bar ares which I preferred. The service was excellent and I will definitely be returning.

Food excellent, staff very friendly, dogs allowed in the bar.

Nice place for lunch. Plenty of food and drink choices. Prices are good. Staff was very nice. Good atmosphere.

Excellent food and friendly staff

Very poor! Very good bar staff!, but food awful. Food was burnt, fatty and full of grease. I always only give good reviews but I had to say something about this one.

Great food and service. We'll definitely be coming back.

Excellent Thai meal with a well kept pint of Woodforde's Wherry. Very good customer service. I can't fault it.

First visit. Lovely food and friendly staff.

A real country pub with a very friendly and lively atmosphere.

Opted for a pub lunch on a journey and spotted The Crown & Thistle. Had a great lunch there and surprisingly was Thai. Not so clear in reviews / pics while searching for spot of lunch but turned out Thai was fresh, tasty and presented well. Have marked on map in case we are in that neck of the woods again.

Great pub with a super range of beers and excellent food. Set in a picturesque village just outside of Cambridge, it has everything. Even celebrated a family birthday there in their marquee at the back of the pub (no need to go outside so great if raining)

Decent food and local beers in an atmospheric old building.

Great food. Not impressed with kids jumping on the tables and being pestered by a 13 stone slobbery dog.

We had a Takeaway from here last Monday evening & it was lovely.

Brilliant Thai lunch. Exceptional cuisine !

Awesome Thai restaurant. Love the food. I have been here many times

These guys are great, love going there, always lovely food and lots of giggles. Great location too.

I go here for meet ups with work. Come all the way from Leicestershire. The food is amazing, the Thai lamb shank in particular, and the pub itself looks cosy and inviting and the ales taste great.

Had feeling that nobody was in charge. One-chilli-strength meal I chose was inedibly spicy. Companion's order was forgotten. Husband's meal was chicken when he ordered pork.

Very nice place wonderful people,

Easily our favourite restaurant. The starters and mains are Thai - prawn crackers, satay chicken, spring rolls, duck pancakes, various types of curry, most meats available. All absolutely superb; very, very tasty. It's hard not to keep ordering the same dish every visit, as it's so lovely, but those that have, usually find themselves with a new go-to dish, as all of the food is so amazingly good there. Desserts are traditional British winter warmers such as, the highly recommended, sticky toffee pudding. It's a cosy pub with a nice welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are always really friendly.

Really good food and atmosphere and some good cocktails

Good, social ambiance - it was quiz night when we went on a Thursday which everyone joined in to do. Food was very nice...Thai food, which was beautifully presented.

Booked online this time..easy to do and got table we requested in comments. Thai food was really amazing and the pizza a hit with our son...and we tried a bit too!. Layed out well inside (covid), staff were really friendly and obliging. There is an outside marquee in garden (didn't go in it though). Would definitely recommend to others 😁👍

Good food Good atmosphere Friendly staff Would definitely recommend

Great little pub...the Thai food is exceptional. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic Thai meal at lunch time today. Superb food and service. Lovely pub.

Great food great beer and great friendly service 👍

Great food friendly atmosphere and amazing customer service 👌

First time here and we will definitely be back again. Food and service was excellent. Thank you.

Great food, good quiz, friendly staff, and an excellent pint of Guiness

Love this place. Can't say very much as I was only grabbing a quick pint while making a connection on public transport. My pint was excellent, the service quick and cheerful. The pub itself is a very pretty period building, typical of the area and the regulars are a joy to behold. Wish I could have stayed for another, but I'll be back!

Wow, what a great meal! My boyfriend and I visited here and were greeted with friendly staff & some wonderful food. Unfortunately, I only have 1 photo to share, but it’s definitely worth visiting to see how fantastic this place is! (P.S - Book beforehand, they’re busy and it’s obviously due to the high level of food & hospitality) So impressed for a local Thai! Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic Thai food, 🍻 and staff.

First time we'd been here and we will definitely be returning. Great food, great service 😊 Adhering to all the covid-19 rules perfectly. We had a great evening...thank you 👍

Post-COVID visit. Well laid out and the staff were on top of things. Great good and service as usual.

Service was great. Good COVID safe practices and the food was amazing. Strongly recommend dining here!

Friendly staff and great value thai, will be back again, again!

Local pub serving Thai food, great pub quiz on a Thurs evening, always enjoy the food.

Great food, plenty of it and have a children's menu too. They are still offering the eat out to help out deal, which is very handy. Service was a bit slow, but the restaurant and pub were busy and mainly only one girl serving good. A big problem is the parking - people seem to take more space than is needed, which means the small car park fills quickly. Then, you need to park on the road, which is a bit risky. Would recommend, despite that.

Great Thai food. One of the very few places who have also extended eat out to help out beyond end of August..

Good food, good beer, great service

Fab we love it there really good staff breakfast great... Staff in dining room really nice nothing to much trouble bedroom's nice 👌

Great food but unusually poor service and we did not get a garden table which I had booked

Great Thai food. Also the only place to get food if you stay at The Crown House Hotel.

Quite good Thai food and decent real ale.

Excellent food, good beer and nice location.. well worth a visit

What a surprise! Proper old English village pub from the outside with a super Thai restaurant inside. Great food, great atmosphere

Great food. Thursday evening quizz night,good fun. Dogs allowed. Over all a good pub.

Love it, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic food, fantastic people.

Great atmosphere and they have prosecco on tap!
