The best restaurants in Uttlesford East of England

Not sure if people are expecting gourmet from a motorway services, but I grabbed breakfast from here on my way home a couple times over summer and it was lovely both times. It was served quickly, nice and hot, (I ate it once I got home so I didn’t have to eat from a takeaway box and it was still hot!) lovely runny egg and the staff were really friendly. It was also really reasonably priced. Will definitely go again!

We use the Spice quite often and usually find it to be really good . Delivery tonight was excellent , well under the hour quoted. Partner had King Prawn Biryani and she loved it and gave a score of 5/5. I had my usual of Chicken Tikka Jallfrezi with Sag aloo. Tonight it was a lot hotter with quite a few more chillies in the dish so I struggled to eat it towards the end .Not sure if they had a different chef or a different menu as usually it is just right for me. However great flavour , amazing colours just a little too hot for me tonight, but did finish it .Hasn't put me off and will definitely order our next take away from The Spice .

Terrible, food was awful, tasteless and mushrooms were burnt - completely black. Please don't go, also very expensive. Never ever coming back, 35£ down the drain

I ordered the stuffed crust pizza, the dough was super raw I couldn’t eat it. Took the pizza back to the store and asked for a different one, after 15 he I got the same type of dough when I asked him a thin pizza dough. I had to wait another 15 minutes to get the thing pizza. Once the pizza was ready I said to the manager I should get the difference back as the stuffed pizza was £3 more plus got charged £2.50 for delivery, when I had to get out of my house to get the new pizza as he never offered me another one over the phone. He said he was going to reembolse the diferente but he never did!! Really defensive and bad customer service. Will never get pizza in Stansted again!

Small Cafe with cabinet sandwiches and drinks attached to a drive through service. Meeting a friend in the cafe today, bank holiday Sunday. The drive through looked busy but we were served promptly at the cafe counter. There were 5 staff. However, the whole cafe was very dirty. No tables wiped down and food/napkins on the floor and tables. The floor adjoining the windows was filthy. The single unisex toilet was very dirty. A polite complaint to a member of staff suggesting perhaps they were understaffed and please pass my concerns to the manager, was met with dispute. The place is “deep cleaned once a week “.

Ordered 2x chicken strips, potato wedges and fries. Came to £20. Looking at the sad food, no way worth it. 1 hour and 40 mins later (and a phone call asking where it is) was delivered. Cold and soggy. Never ordering again.

I purchased a tea that was too weak, when I asked for another tea bag they charged me twice for the tea !!!!
