The Green Man Lindsell in Uttlesford

A bit disorganised as very busy. Nice food and staff

Nice food lovely service and great environment

Lovely pub in the middle of the country and this was my partners and I first visit for a steak dinner. First impressions, very friendly staff and nice decor however from what we saw all tables for 2 were not great locations. Most were against walls etc, with limited views. Ours was next to a wall which had damp run lines and some of the plaster was crumbling. We were quite close to a window so I am unsure why they didnt put the table beside the that. Tables for 4 are in much better locations. The lighting was just way too bright. Its a lovely beamed building but we were sat beside a picture light and the whole restaurant has very bright low voltage lighting and with the decor mostly white there was no atmosphere. If they dimmed the lights and had nice atmospheric lighting this place would be amazing. Food was nice but our Fillet steak was slightly overdone and chewy. We ordered medium well but it turned up well done. However, the waiter and service was very very good. Staff are exceptionally friendly. Prices are also reaonable. Would we go again? I wouldnt go out of my way to go back but if we pass by, yes I would pay it a visit. I definaltey would visit for a beer as it is a nice pub. I hope I havent been too critical but a few tweaks could make this plaze truly amazing!

Tapas night, great food, service, atmosphere. 100% will return.

First time there ,lovely place ,5 stars all round ✨️, well done ,food , service and atmosphere 👏, well done

Went as a group for the Tapas evening. Absolutely delightful time, food was delicious, staff were their usual attentive, friendly and professional selves. A comfortable atmosphere for catching up with friends. Toilets lovely and clean too. A gem of a restaurant.

Wonderful venue, very large dog friendly garden. Great menu and first class service. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Popped in on a lovely sunny Friday afternoon for a quick drink. Wow! Such a great decision! Received a very friendly welcome, from Megan and Nigel. They made us feel more like old friends rather than just customers. The interior was stunning (including the toilets). The garden area was huge with lovely rattan seating. We didn’t stay for food this time, but menu looked very tasty. Would highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem.

My partner and I came for lunch on a Saturday at 12 just as the pub opened. He had chicken wings to start (a little bland) and a burger for main (very good) and I had bao buns (sent the first ones back because the buns were rock hard but the second ones were nice) and I had fish and chips for main (very good). The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive 😊👍

My partner and I came here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We were offered inside or outside. We took our seating outside in a nice dining area on the patio. The service was efficient, the food was to a high quality and the staff were friendly. Couldn’t ask for more.

Popped in for a quick lunch and was very impressed by the food and lovely service. Can’t wait to go back and try their special tapas night lovingly prepared by their Spanish chef!

Very nice place...children welcomed. Roast meats very nice although 'nutfree' Sunday lunch tasteless. Disappointing

Great food friendly staff and a great ambiance.very nice with views of the surrounding countryside.

Popped in for lunch with five work colleagues. Looks like an average ‘pub’ from the outside, especially with the scrubby chalkboard by the entrance. Pleasantly surprised to find an amazing restaurant once inside with wonderful food choices with quality ingredients. Service was professional, efficient and still friendly. We were all very impressed with this well rounded restaurant and strongly recommend for business lunch/dinner and couples.

Lovely 80th birthday meal Excellent service and food

Off the beaten track, but well worth finding. Great choice of menue. First class service. All finished off with a welcoming atmosphere.

We came here on Saturday for my mum’s birthday. We all had the Christmas set menu, which was delicious. The staff are friendly and very professional. Lovely atmosphere, never disappointed when we eat here. Would highly recommend.

Xmas meal with work. Excellent food and came out hot.

All three of us had the Ribeye steak meal. Cooked to perfection and everything seasoned well. Good to see the peppercorn sauce and mushroom included in the price and not extras.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and shared a Christmas meal here with colleagues, but some of the meals where very good, others over cooked. Perhaps due to the size of the group. Can't comment on what it's like as a small group or couple. Atmosphere is great and staff very helpful.

Good food, very friendly staff, good value

We had Sunday lunch here and the food and service was superb. I cannot remember having a better roast. The portions were generous and the meat was so tasty with perfectly cooked vegetables. The broccoli cheese was really tasty and the deserts especially the sticky toffee pudding which was home made was top notch. The pub is really homely and the coffee afterwards was nice and hot which is rare these days and the WC was lovely and clean and smelt so fresh. I’m just so sad that we don’t live in the area as we would be regulars. Great work team

Fantastic find. Very friendly and happy staff, food was excellent and so was the wine. Would certainly recommend

Lovely pub with a good sized restaurant, both the food and the beer were great. Really helpful and friendly staff. Will be going back soon.

Excellent food, great choice of local dishes. Great service, good value

Popped in for a pint on the way home. Lovely pub Staff very friendly

Friendly, accommodating and helpful. A great place to dine and meet up near Stansted Airport. The children could run around in the garden without upsetting other guests. No complaints about the food, but would suggest maybe more vegetables. Would definitely visit again if we get the chance.

We had the most amazing evening and James and his amazing team couldn't have done more to provide beautiful food fabulous cocktails and so much kindness well over and above anything we could have hoped for. The atmosphere is warm friendly and super welcoming. Would recommend to anyone and will be back soon. Thankyou all so much you are the best !! Xx

10 went today for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. Staff were exceptional, table cloths, great menu choice. Food was delicious. Thank you at The Green Man

The Sunday roasts - one beef, one pork, was delicious. Served piping hot and the homemade dessert was equally fabulous. Service was also excellent. We are hoping to move to the area so this would become our ‘local’. The restaurant was virtually empty when we went (5pm) and no one else had come in when we left at 7pm….where is everyone? This place should be buzzing for Sunday lunch/dinner especially when the standard of food and service was so high, we can’t afford to lose lovely country pubs like this to become another residential dwelling

Sadly we were sat next to the door to the garden and a birthday party with a large group of children kept running through either banging or leaving the door open, difficult to have a nice meal out. Should have gone to Maccy D's probably would have been quieter. Not the pubs fault.

Popped in for a bite to eat. Was very pleasantly surprised. Service by Toby was excellent, smart, helpful. Food by Nick was divine. Would definitely recommend as a place to visit./eat.

Кухня работает до 11, что большой плюс, так как в остальных заведениях в округе вы можете поесть только до 9. Мы пришли только выпить. Gunness был разбавленным. бейлис кофе неплохим. Огромная территория на заднем дворике с шатром, можно отмечать свадьбы и дни рождения. Очень красивый туалет. не люблю делать туалетные селфи в зеркале, но тут не сдержалась😆

Lovely pub - we didn't stop for food only drinks but the food smelt devine! Great service, helpful and friendly. Interior beautiful and great seating area outside as well

sunday lunch was fantastic,attentive staff and a great location

We ate here on Saturday and the food was amazing to say the least. The service was even better, the waitress was lovely and smiley and made a great cocktail and the manager James was outstanding, will definitely be going there again.

Great destination restaurant pub. Done well.

Un lugar muy tranquilo y agradable.

Always very polite fantastic service nothing to much trouble highly recommended 👌

Staff most accommodating, service excellent and food excellent value for money.

Very nice menu and food and service excellent. It was our grandaughters birthday so a special occasion. Nice portion sizes. Ale pie was just so yummy. Bit of a journey for us to get there but worth it.

Highly recommended. Good sized portions, perfectly cooked. Many families there, but you'd never know. Beautifully done up, and huge garden for the summer. Gentle background music and chatter gave it a great atmosphere for lunch. Would be even better if another V / VE option or two were added (only 1 main on today). Nevertheless, we'll be back.

There is no bad word to be said. Top level establishment!!!!!

Stopped here for Sunday lunch. Pleasant atmosphere, attractive bar and dining areas, friendly and quick service. We both had the roast lamb and usual trimmings which was no more than average - the meat tasted bought in rather than roasted on site, which is always disappointing.

Terrific steak tonight, loved the apple and raisen crumble too. Excellent, service very good too.

Really remarkable, very nice place, and excellent service, but hard to find

What a lovely place to eat. Food was excellent and service great.

Lovely service Lovely atmosphere and great food x

The starters was really good, the Sunday roast meat was not that nice for the price. Service was very good for the large group of us. The pub was pretty empty and with the "locals" that was in the pub just kept looking at us like we shouldn't have been there.

The Sunday roast was so disappointing. Gutted as my family made a lengthy trip to this pub. A £23 ‘leg of lamb’ was akin to Finders frozen meat slices and the ‘homemade’ gravy was tasteless. The only positive I can find is the very friendly staff.

An amazing place. The food is amazing, very tasty. The staff is polite, work very well. I'll come back here again.

Lovely pub great location just had to wait a long time between starters and main course and the pub wasn’t too busy considering they have 2 chefs we had a table of 7 then when we ordered 4 steaks they only had 2 steaks left at a 7.30 booking would love to go again but needs to be a bit more better they need to update the online menu as well

Nice meal but short on vegetables for the price. Good service but experience slightly tainted by a gentleman who liked the sound of his own voice at an adjacent table.

Staff very welcoming, professional, service efficient, well priced, nice decor, food very good and all very fresh. Would definitely go again

Delicious food, beautiful place, wonderful staff, excellent service ❤️🍲👌🏼

Shame, lovely garden, nice place but unfortunately food is not great. Had 4 poor Sunday roasts, used to be good so really hope management see reviews and can improve.

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. They have changed the menu which they publish online, which sounds lovely, to having taken my partner there for a surprise birthday meal last night, to their new menu, which is now just you basic pub grub (& not yet published online...theu still show their previous menu!!). Very limited choice & rather bland tasting food. The wine too was corked. Expensive for what we actually had.

Really lovely restaurant. Had a super meal. Our host Claire was amazing. Super clean and excellent food.

Awful place - just the worse we have ever visited. Complete madness no one knew which was happening and lots of food came which we didn’t order - we sent it back but they refused to refund it - extremely rude to my mum on her 70th bday and told Her to shut up - I have never know service like this and seriously don’t think that this should be allowed to continue

Excellent public freehouse and restaurant. Food amazing very tasty. Immaculately presented. Bar staff very friendly especially Claire. Thank you 😊. Look forward to our next visit .

Reasonably priced, nice venue and staff. A bit out of the way but worth it

Had a lovely evening meal here.The new chef is top draw as the food was delicious! As always a brilliant atmosphere defiantly recommend.

Ordered 2 blt ciabattas £25 Ciabatta wasn’t cooked the chicken was left overs from another dish it made us feel physically sick

We used to love this pub, stopped in with the kids this evening and really wish we hadn’t bothered. Brie was still hard, anaemic sausages and the worst prawns I’ve had in a while. Bar snacks pretty awful for the price and the only thing any good were the chips. All in all we won’t be coming back, which is such a shame as it used to be so lovely.

Had a really poor evening meal here unfortunately as loads of the other reviews look great. Took aegis to be seated and the service all night was lacklustre and to be honest unfriendly. lots of stuff from the menu they didn’t have in which is fine but no apology was offered. the starters were tiny portions and disappointing, the mains were poor especially for the price. The peppercorn sauce for the steak tasted like a whole pot of pepper went into it, inedible. Needless to say didn’t stay for desert.

Very good menu, food excellent, prices fair.

A fantastic roast dinner thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great service from the very friendly and helpful staff made for a great experience.

We had lunch here for the first time today. They were very welcoming to us and our puppy. We sat in the garden, which was lovely. Friendly staff, accurate, and the food was just amazing. We will definitely be back!!

It was our first time visiting the Green Man & we were impressed with the service and the food. We would happily come here again.

Lovely food and lovely people. Thank you!!

THANK YOU! We were unfortunately let down by another local pub who lost power due to storm, so I called The Green Man first and they could fit my party of 5 in, also took in the birthday cake I asked to give. The food was delicious, the menu is excellent great variety for all tastes. My daughter knocked over a cup of orange juice and it was no trouble at all. We all had such a nice birthday for my sister. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Brilliant service from staff plus food great and hot

Excellent service and food. Very little vegetarian options, but it is a little jewel! Definitely worth the visit.

One vegetarian dish to choose. Cold lamb shank served which was then reheated and too tuff to eat. Won’t be rushing back. Rang to discuss this and no call back!!

Awesome food - really enjoyed our evening here - creative and innovative menu delivered super well with great service. Highly recommended - a special place to go for dinner. Way better than the normal gastro pub….

Fabulous pub..excellent staff and excellent food in a great pub

Not good wouldnt recommend wont be going back in a hurry

A Beautiful meal i simply could not fault.

Food was excellent, a bit pricy but it was a special occasion

Food was taken back as pork not cooked properly, and forgot 1 child's meal , they did give us free drinks , but after pork not cooked everyone was on edge eating .

Great selection of drinks and stunning outside area. I didn't eat so can't comment on food but nice atmosphere and staff very attention serving us at the table and bringing drinks out. 10/10

Relaxed atmosphere, staff are very good. FOOD was very nice. Will definitely go back again.

The chappy at the bar knows how to make an excellent Old Fashioned, good on him. Food works. Wine list looked a little tired.

Staff were great. Was a limited menu , even more so that were were all vegetarian . Food tasted ok and was well presented

Nice pub. Nice food. Attentive service. Small but varied menu. Would visit again.

Nice friendly atmosphere nice food plenty of room

Dont think you should have to pay 4pound extra for mash potatoe it should come with the meal

Great food- Lovely Ambience and setting - well run establishment- highly recommended- book early

Beautiful venue ,food and fabulous service. Will definitely be going again!

ate here on Saturday night, food was absolutely incredible, one of the best, tastiest burgers I have honestly ever had. Can’t wait to return

Busy, pandemic, what pandemic? We sat outside and despite the chilly wind had some great cocktails and a lovely meal. It was full inside but the tables were well spaced and everyone seemed very relaxed. It would have been nice to have been able to walk to the garden without going inside.

Went lunchtime on Wednesday was really looking forward to it as been many times before . Surprised to find they were not taking part in the government scheme of reduced prices. Our meal was nice however I do think more choice is needed, fir example baguette s sandwiches at lunch times . When we got the bill we only noticed that it was wrong as we had to split it. 30 pounds wrong to be exact although the waitress said sorry the manager was not at all apologetic and no we will give you a drink to make up for our mistake or the time we had to wait to get it rectified . So got to say on the whole was very very disappointed

Very very nice Pub. Great People.

As always great Saturday night dinner Food perfectly cooked by Chris Service great attentive but never over powering Thanks Chris & Scott

Had a fantastic time celebrating my 30th. Staff were wonderful and very accommodating and couldn't have done more, making this special occasion even more special.

Went here on a whim, I was expecting a little village pub but once I walked in I realised this is a little gem. I wouldn't call it posh but it's definitely a step up from an average pub, I felt a little underdressed in jeans and a hoodie, but everything about this place was great from start to finish. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food was excellent and the price is fair after all you get what you pay for. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend you pay the green Man a visit.

Food was tasty, well presented and generous portions. Very Impressed with the service and a nice warm rustic feeling and it looked like it had a recent refurbishment. The price's were fair for the quality and service and only issues was needs to be better lighted outside as it was virtually pitch black outside with almost no lighting in the car park.

Great little pub with its modern yet country feel. Very warm welcome both before and after using facilities on a local walk. Great coffee and comfy sofas by the log burner. Thank you!

Booked a table for a birthday meal. Great food, the staff are amazing. What a lovely place. Would 100% recommend. Incredible.

Great food amazing staff! Thank you :-)
