The Restaurant On Church Street in Uttlesford

This is a hidden gem. Tucked away downstairs on Church street, Saffron Walden, we had the place all to ourselves on a Thursday. Excellent food, wine & service. The chef came out to greet us and say Happy Birthday with a couple of free drinks. We had risotto & duck breast to start, followed by roast duck & swordfish, then chocolate fondant & summer pudding - all delicious. The ambience is superb- candlelit, exposed brick & beams and very intimate. We were very surprised it is not packed every night. Go find it, you won’t be disappointed.

I took my Fiancée to The Restaurant on Church Street for her birthday. Neither of us have ever eaten here before even though my Fiancée has lived in Saffron Walden since birth. What a lovely quiant place. Absolutely spectacular food, lovely staff and a lovely peaceful atmosphere. They had even prepared a birthday cake for her. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We will definitely be returning soon.

Superb , charming , romantic, great service and even better food, superbly cooked. Excellent

Delicious pre Christmas dinner. The food was spot on! Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Food was fantastic, I had the duck. Met up with friends and had a great night. Will definitely return.

Delicious food and excellent service.

Good option for a special occasion, great food and wine options.

Food is not average, service is really poor (waited over 45min for food - it's only an ~8 table place) and be prepared to go home smelling of kitchen...really disappointing considering the other reviews (dessert was left half eaten...)

We went there a few years ago incredibly expensive couldn't believe price

Very attentive service and great food. They were very flexible about allergies and offered to adjust the dishes if possible. Really enjoyable

Absolutely best food in Saffron Walden and lovely atmosphere with chilled music

Great table service, first class food will go again

Absolutely loved our experience there!! Would recommend in a heartbeat, great food and great service. Thank you for a great eve!!

A disappointing experience unfortunately. The ambiance is great, the quality of the produce is excellent, both the fillet steak and the lamb was first class and cooked to perfection, however the sides were bland and un-imaginative. Staff were friendly but in-experienced and had absolutely no knowledge of the wine list or what they were serving when delivering the meal to our table. Great shame as it could have been one of those “finds” that leaves you raving about it and wanting to return.

Christmas work party lot's of singing and dancing after a great meal

This restaurant, The Restaurant, is so inconsistent that last night's visit, after about 20 years, will be my final one. Rubbery pigeon followed by rubbery lamb. When the chef proprietor gets it right, it's worth the money and the incredibly variable service, but when he gets it wrong it's really not - and that simply happens too often.

Great service, cosy atmosphere. The food was amazing, great menu

Food and atmosphere was amazing

Lovely intimate dining will definitely be making a return visit

The food, service and the ambience is just wow! There was this waitress who were so welcoming. I was a bit doubtful whether the food would match my Indian taste. But I was totally overwhelmed by their presentation and the taste. And the dessert, it was the best thing I've ever tasted. Do try their Mango Passion fruit crème brûlée.

A wonderful place to return to. Excellent food and wine, attentive service and a lovely ambience!

Excellent food, great atmosphere with attentive staff and management. Great time had by all, can't recommend highly enough.

Thank you to Hassan for another delicious takeaway meal last night. We tried different main courses and they were very good. Always courteous and friendly service.

Visited on Thursday - what a lovely evening. Fantastic food, chilled music, great atmosphere. Will be returning soon. Best restaurant in Saffron Walden by a mile! Neil & Sue

Nice place for couples, this was our first visit and we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

Lovely food great priced mid week set menu

Best restaurant in Saffron Walden by miles! Consistently very good food and nice service. Every time I go I try 3 new courses and I have yet to come across one that is less than outstanding.

I took a party of 8 to celebrate my wife's birthday. Excellent food and very friendly service. There is a steep staircase that is a challenge for less mobile people.

Great service, great food, cosy atmosphere downstairs. Well worth a visit with friends.

We had a lovely meal as always & the staff lovely & friendly. We shall be visiting again.

Love eating here. Always welcoming and fabulous food. Had a fantastic Mother’s Day lunch.

Good food and service. Local, excellent value. All in all, grateful it's there! 👍

Amazing little restaurant, good food and lovely location. Staff were great

The food was amazing, especially given our reservation hadn't worked out. There seems to also be a cheaper menu, so we'll have to go down more often.

The food was good and the recommended wine was fantastic. The service was very pleasant. We will definitely drive from London just to eat there again.

Only eaten there once, but the food was absolutely delicious.

Fantastic food, I rate this as the best restaurant in town by far. Really excellent quality for produce, cooked beautifully.
