The best restaurants in Uttlesford East of England

Staff always have a smile and very welcoming

Pleasant breakfast here on a whim. I had the full English and was very nice seating wasn't cramped. Good coffee and selection of bakery items at the kiosk. Very attentive staff. Many thanks. reasonable prices and pleasant local art on the walls available to buy too.

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.

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

Had a couple of cocktails before going for food. Staff were very pleasant and made good drinks. You are sat in the middle of the lounge if that bothers you. Prices reflect airport prices, 3 drinks at £34.

ordered at 9:30ish it said 45-55mins it’s now 11 i chose pay by cash and it says enjoy your food? so either somone has accepted and paid or they haven’t even attempted to deliver it

Absolutely fantastic food and great service, the best place to eat by far in Saffron Walden. Highly recommend. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

The Grill room always has a nice atmosphere. My Mum and I find it to be A La Carte but relaxed which is a nice mix. The food is delicious, we’ve never had a bad meal. I had the Potato Gratin with baby parsnips (vedgy option) this time and it was delicious. The Chef very kindly did my Mum a chicken option, as she couldn’t eat the other options and she really enjoyed it. Presentation and portion size is very good. Reasonably priced for the quality. When we stay at the hotel we always eat in the Grill room and if we were more local we’d eat here more often.

Service was at their leisure the food was nothing to shout about the only thing going for it was that the food reasonably priced but not the drinks!!!!

Tonight I ordered a half pounder with cheese and bacon as I hadn't eaten all day, the burger was OK, but charging someone .80p for a squirt of burger sauce is criminal.

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.

Nice coffee food OK. Served our coffee in takeaway cups despite having ordered hot food and sitting in. Proper cups given to people coming in after us.Also the Barista shows off a little.

Was struggling to find somewhere to eat lunch that wasn’t a coffee shop as we were leaving we drove past this restaurant and pulled over to go in and we was not disappointed. We went for the set lunch as we had a pre-booked dinner in the evening great choices and the meal sizes were more than enough waiter was amazing and looked after us from start to finish. Food was cooked fresh and an amazing quality and standard. Coffee to finish was also amazing if we are ever this way again we would definitely return. Thank you for looking after us and making our lunch very special .

Lovely cosy pint in front of the lovely open fire in this community run pub. Not a Saffron Walden local but will definitely be back to try the lovely garden/outdoor area when it warms up!

This has been taken over by new people, they have kept the menu the same, with a few additions. It always used to be spotless in here, don’t know if it was just a bad day when we visited but it was really messy. Dirty plates and cups everywhere and no sign of tables being cleared. The fridge that has all the sandwich fillings in was barely full, and what was in there looked old and dry. The guy took our order, and there was someone else waiting for their order too. It took a long time for the first order to come out and ours took about half an hour for three takeout sandwiches. They were very slow, despite not being at all busy. The food was fine, but I don’t think I’ll eat from there again if it’s as dirty as last time. I’ll just go to the chippy a few doors down!
