The best restaurants in Clavering Uttlesford East of England

Set in the middle of a beautiful small village this lovely traditional pub now serving only Thia food. The pub has three separate eating areas inside and tables and benches outiside to the front. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Their menu is interesting with specials on the board with reasonable pricing.

This is a beautiful location with views across the Essex countryside, and the restaurant itself is quaint and well presented. However, waiting 20 minutes to be acknowledged and place a coffee order seemed a little disconcerting, and the tardiness and lack of customer engagement continued, resulting in the food order arriving just within the hour! I appreciate the clearly stated policy of everything being freshly cooked, and therefore a delay is inevitable, but this whole enterprise felt self indulgent and appeared to lack any real customer focus. That said, the food was very good.

A good range of tasty wholesome pub food available. Ambience attractive but let down by poor service. It wasn’t that there wasn’t enough staff it was the fact that they decided to use the venue as a social occasion ignoring the customers.

I have to let it be known that this little gem of a pub is not only one of the prettiest interiors of any (of many!) pubs that we go to - it's beautifully decorated, it is also one of the cleanest, with staff being super quick to clean tables and seating areas as people come and go, which is no mean feat given that they are very welcoming of canine companions and that they are pub surrounded by many beautiful walkways. I've never seen it look for one moment anything short of spotless. I've been taking my weim pup to this pub since last Summer and they've seen her go through the stages of too cute to 'complete and utter 'two and a half handful' where I've had to put all my efforts in to managing her (she is 100% typical of her breed!), they might they have been so patient, calm and lovely to her and us. Thank you for being a lovely place to go, team F&H

We have visited the Crown and Thistle a number of times and always enjoyed it. Last night it really exceptional: all 5 of us chose different dishes and they were all absolutely delicious. We shared green beans, also fantasticly cooked to perfection. The service was superb and friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
