The best restaurants in Thaxted Uttlesford East of England

Love this little village pub, most welcoming and has a great atmosphere and the service is exceptional

Order was 40 minutes late from the original time, and the food was cold! But it had a nice flavour.

Seriously top quality food here , only ever had a breakfast last year here , was staying local again so had the cod loin, wife had pork belly . All so flavoursome, plentiful and succulent. All homemade and it shows , best meal eaten in a long time

Walked all the way from Great Easton expecting to get lunch. Only to be told they haven't been doing food since January. Pity they can't update their website so everyone knows. Have been here several times before but won't be going again.

Walked in here to get some lunch as was visiting for a garden show in local area and not at all what we was expecting to see, its was very uninviting with the people we saw in there, if you like a pub with sawdust feeling on the floor look no further.

Our U3A group was visiting Thaxted for the day and sought a convenient and suitable place for lunch for twenty plus persons. We discovered the Maypole and right from the start we were met with a warm welcome and an offer to accommodate our dining requirements. It was agreed that there would be a fixed price set menu which we could distribute to members. On the day itself, on arrival we were warmly greeted and our reserved tables were set out neatly for us. I was overjoyed to see that Timothy Taylor Landlord was available at the bar. The meal itself was excellent. I had the salmon which was a generous portion cooked perfectly. No shortage of accompanying vegetables. Others who had the Mediterranean tart or sausage and mashwere equally impressed. My wife had an enormous and delicious portion of cheesecake and I had a superb portion of apple crumble and custard. I can’t praise this establishment more highly for the service that they provided.

Great from start to finish! Young Jack was very professional, service with a smile 😃. Will definitely be back.
