The best restaurants in Uttlesford East of England

Undergoing refurbishment It needs it so badly

Local ubicado en la preciosa población de Great Dunmow. Mi novio quiso que fuéramos a cenar allí para tomar buena comida de tradición inglesa. El local es sencillamente precioso; acogedor, buen ambiente y climatización ideal, Perfecto para pasar largas horas. Muy romántico. Personal agradable y uniformado. Higiene correctísima, ningún “pero”. Cabe destacar que la carta es inmensa y hay mucho donde elegir, aunque las opciones saludables brillan por su ausencia. Respecto a la comida, quería degustar la mermelada casera que viene de acompañamiento en uno de los entrantes, y aunque estuvo bueno la mermelada no la vi por ningún sitio. Tomé de principal fish and chips vegano por tomar la salsa tártara casera y aunque fue bueno, he de decir que las patatas eran congeladas y estaba demasiado frito todo, pues me sentó pesado. Vino acompañada de una ensalada que no me pude terminar, ya que le pusieron una salsa incomestible que arruinó mi cena, lo siento. Para terminar, mi novio pidió un pudding que le encanta de allí y tomé algunas cucharadas. Normal pero se intuía casero, punto a favor… También probé un poco de su plato, en concreto una especie de masa que me pareció requemadísima y muy seca. No me gustó.

The pub was very busy when we arrived and extremely noisy. Happily we found a small area towards the back of the restaurant where a lovely gentleman named David was working. Welcoming people and taking orders. Such a gentleman. Calm, efficient, took the time to explain ways of payment. A noisy group of youngsters were spoken to quietly, immediate reduction in volume. Our food arrived surprisingly quickly considering how busy it was. Everything was hot, cooked well, and nicely presented, 2 drinks, fish and chips, ham, mushroom pizza plus side salad, £42, happy with that. And excellent service, thank you David x

My husband and I had a really lovely stay at the Cricketers. The pub itself was full of character, our room was clean, well-appointed and very comfortable, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful time!

This restarraunt is absolutely terrible they keep the lights full on bright there's no music the staff are beyond rude to everyone they just don't know how to welcome.anyone. The food was shambolic ,tasteless cold rubbish ,not nice at all horrible mango chutney no mangoes in it just orange floppy slop ,the chicken in the tikka masala was processed chunks not real chicken my partner's chicken korma was yellow and bland the poppadoms were shop bought not made or hot . All of the staff were just absolutely awful a lot of people commented on bad atmosphere no one seemed to be enjoying their food and no one asked us if our dinner was ok I would never return it was an awful experience.

This place has no idea how to treat a customer, service was absolutely shocking, when I complained I was meet with nothing but aggressiveness and would not let my dog eat here

Excellent food , excellent service.would highly recommend

Should have stayed in my hotel room and chewed my flip flop! 12 fries, not even a fork full of coleslaw with our very average burger. Which was luke warm at best. Not expecting the world from these restaurants but for the price should be more

Amazing meal. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was of great standard and ample portions. 5 * quality. Would definitely return again

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

Birthday celebration for my mums 80th, we booked this visit back in beginning of October after making a call to the venue and being told that our table of 19 would easily be accommodated. What a disappointment on arrival instead of being sat together we were given two tables each side off double doors leading to the bar. To say my mum was disappointed was an understatement. No amount of pleading with the manager to sort it out would work snd the manageress quite honestly didn’t give a toss. The bar was understaffed and getting drinks was a long wait , the food was appalling with five mains sent back because they were so cold and the supposed trio of desserts was some terrible little plastic tubs of unknown substance and cheap cake it looked like they had raided the sales section at Tesco served on a tacky tray in the middle of the table. Overall very underwhelming and a disappointing night . I would say avoid and look elsewhere.

Stayed one night at The Yew tree. The rooms were sheds in the car park. Everyone could see in. The windows were old and rotten. The single bed had no headboard so the pillow fell off in the night. There was a TV on a shelf above the single bed which my daughter hit her head on. There was a constant beeping sound all night like a car reversing . The room was clean and shower fine. We had no water in our room and could not buy breakfast the next morning as the pub didn't open until 12pm. House keeping came dead on 11am for us to leave . We had to wait in the car park in the cold for our lift home.

Staff always have a smile and very welcoming

I often call for a sandwich at lunch or a take away salad box. I love the quality of the ingredients, salad boxes are so delicious, every time fresh, healthy ingredients.

Visited here last Saturday, table and cutlery was very clean. We ordered an all day breakfast and the special board Shepherds pie and 2 cups of tea . All day breakfast was nice and hot but the bread and butter turned out to be bread and margarine, the Shepherds pie and veg was only luke warm. With the tea I had to ask for another tea bag for one of the cups as it was milky with a very light brown colour to it ( I like strong tea). Tea was reasonably priced if it comes out stronger at £1.50 a cup. The 2 meals brought the price to almost £27 . I will admit both meals had good quality food on both plates and the flavours were good, but the Shepherds pie needed heating up more. Service was good and all staff we encountered were friendly and efficient
