The best restaurants in Uttlesford East of England

Wonderful attentive hosts, lovely menu, great decor, will be back

Great coffee. great food. fantastic staff were very helpfull and polite.. massive range of herbal teas all organically grown and prepared by bumpstead herbs at wimbish nursery and garden centre. Local pies and pasties and non alcoholic beers great for quick takeaway breakfast and lunches or eat in with great surroundings.

Lovely venue, open for dinner Friday evenings and Saturday lunch. Lovely venue in the nicest part of Saffron Walden. Fantastic service and a really warm welcome. Delicious bread followed by plate after plate of unusual tapas, my favourite was the lobster. Reasonably priced wine and very tasty desserts. Will definitely return and recommend.

In the centre of a pretty village, this homely bakery is a true find. Delicious pastries and sausage rolls (yum) and a couple of tables outside- for when it’s not raining!! Also some high quality Fieldgood ready meals in the freezer. Love it!

Lovely, relaxing place to have a drink while waiting on our delayed flight. Livingstone was serving us and was absolutely great; very professional while friendly and welcoming at the same time. We’ll definitely return again

I don’t normally write any reviews but I really want to praise this restaurant for the excellent service, food experience! Our food was delicious not greasy at all which is how I normally feel after a curry!

Best pizza and cheesy garlic bread in Saffron Walden by far!

This is a village country traditional pub retaining all of its original features which still offers the opportunity locals to prop up the bar with your dog for just a chat and pint but there are three eating areas with the menu being 100% Italian. Outside to the front there are benches and tables and the pub offers parking too. The menu prices are very reasonable and food is very good. The service was good with helpful friendly staff.

A little gem. Home made cakes are delicious. Love that the tea is served in a pot so you can at least get 2 cups out of it. Makes all the difference when you are going out for just afternoon tea and cake.

Amazing pizza. Great service. Wholeheartedly recommend if you want a treat.

Delicious chocolate vegan cake, great quantity of tea for one person, the oat milk which was given to me was nice and creamy! More importantly though the service was great. I walked past the shop initially but decided to go back because the young woman stood at check out desk made a point to smile at people walking by. Had a pretty rubbish start to my day so I went in to treat myself. A nice piece of cake, friendly conversation with the staff, and how cosy and cute it is in the shop combined put me in a better mood. Will definitely return to this establishment in future.

Had a lovely Lunch at The Little Seafood Bar, food, service and choice of wines were very good, will definitely be returning

Realy nice breakfast and quick service very friendly staff

We have been meaning to visit for a while now and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was perfect and the service brilliant. Always one step ahead. Can’t recommend the Vault Negroni, steak tartare, the octopus and deserts (tiramisu and torte caprese) enough. Each dish we tried left that ‘wow’ moment at each first bite. The portions are generous, perfect for sharing if you can’t make your mind up. A beautiful meal out that is definitely up there with the best ones we’ve had. Perfect for a celebration or date night. We’ll be coming back!

Great evening for a party of 12 hungry chaps and our wonderful lady guest. Service was impeccable, nothing too much trouble. Menu explained really well for our allergy chaps. Really wonderful food, perfect portions and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Thank you Red Lion team.
