The best restaurants in The Rodings Uttlesford East of England

We had the best evening, Marketa is a fantastic manager and gave us the the friendliest service, nothing was too much trouble.

For a set price you get three exceptional courses. The price we paid was £49.50 per person. The host Peter is a warm friendly person. Ideal for front of house. His wife is the chef. After an appariteth we were shown to our table. My wife and I both had prawns as the starter. They were huge and very meaty. Next we had chateaux briand for two. The meat was excellent. Finally my wife had two sweets from the sweet trolley both excellent. I had crumbly stilton and biscuits.My wife liked white wine and I prefer red, so Peter opened a bottle of each and we only paid for the amount we had drunk. A nice touch.On the down side the restaurant is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. Also as it is very popular, when full it is quiet noisy but don't let that put you off a fabulous restaurant.

I hope I am reviewing the correct place. We visited Dainteas Tea Room for lunch and it was perfect. Welcoming and friendly staff. Delicious home made food. If I lived nearer I would be a frequent visitor.

A pub in the traditional sense without TVs and fruit machines. Good food, good service, very pleasant ambience, great value overall. Recommended.

We had a fantastic visit to this pub. We had prebooked and preordered as we had a very large group of adults and kids. The staff were excellent- very friendly and accommodating around lots of little kids and all the food was delicious. The portions were generous and the menu offered a wide range of options. It was warm and welcoming. There were various staff attending to our group and everyone was helpful and attentive to our requests. We hope to visit again in future.

Been before and food and service have always been good. BEWARE! There is a 10% service charge which they don't mention on their website. It maybe on the menu but I did not look.

Me and my family came here for my birthday for Sunday dinner, the food was fantastic! Generous portion sizes, a variety of vegetables, brilliant quality and cooked perfectly. The staff were brilliant and very accommodating they made me feel special, they gave me the birthday hat and glasses to wear, a birthday card and birthday drinks. The gentleman owner was hilarious making some jokes.
