The best restaurants in Saffron Walden Shire Uttlesford East of England

Went in the cafe on Wednesday and the nice lad at the bar was super helpful helped me with choosing the menu and made me a very good and strong coffee. The server also delivered the food with a smile and told me to enjoy the rest of my day this is the type of service I'd expect in a restaurant but fills is a whole different level. Will be returning in the Christmas period keep up the good work guys.

Used this eatery when staying at the Premier Inn Saffron Walton a couple of years ago and there were no complaints then but things have changed. When we went to get our table at 7.30pm we were told that we weren’t being rushed but we need to get our orders in before 7.40pm or we wouldn’t be able to eat anything as the kitchen closes at 8.00pm. Once seated we were then presented with both the menu and a list, equally as long, of items that weren’t available on the menu. By this time we only had 8 minutes on the clock to decide whilst cross-checking the menu! The food itself was pretty average. After the meal we went to have one more drink in the bar. Once sat down with our drinks we were quickly told it was last orders, soon after that, around 5 minutes, all guests had to leave the bar. The England game was switched off half way through, maybe not a bad thing, and the door was practically slammed behind us as we were turfed into the lobby with the remainder of our drinks. I realise this is not the staff’s fault, they are only enforcing the rules but it all felt very rushed and stressful. Other guests were clearly annoyed by this. On the whole I think the opening hours could be handled better and something needs to be done about the lack of options, whatever the reasons, it was embarrassing.

Staff really pleasant. Rooms good, bed comfy! Always sleep well in premier inn. Found some old rubbish left under the bed when i dropped something so could be a bit more thoroughly cleaned. Food is decent, we had breakfast buffet and an evening meal

I ordered my food online, over £50, they took my money, I waited for my order, nothing, I called - they didn’t answer, 40 minutes later I drove to the restaurant- it was shut…. All you had to do was put a message on your website and notify your order app provider - we’ve been coming to you for years and you’ve really let us down

Love a costa & the gingerbread latte is amazing

Waited two hours for delivery, after several attempts to ring to find out where our order is i finally got through. I was told it was on the pass. 20 min later and still no sign of my order. We will not be bothering to order from here again.

I ordered lunch for my family and was not that hungry ordered a cheese and caramelised ciabatta the food came out and I bit into my lunch whete as a life long vegetarian 37 years they had given me a cheese and ham chiabatta wich was awfull I spat it straight out went to the kitchen and they had followed the order that had been wrongly sent through from front of house while I find this disturbing I'm gratfull that I did not have a food allergy. This is the second time this has happened 2 me hear luckily the last time was only earl grey tea over English breakfast. I tried to raise a complaint via Tesco website but there is no complaint section for the cafe so I jave sent a what app message to tesco asking for assistance less than impressed that I was given meat in my vegetarian option
