The best restaurants serving British food in The Rodings Uttlesford East of England

Came yesterday for a Sunday Roast. Poor quality food. The meat was like it was from a foil tray type of roast. Not proper Turkey breast meat. Frozen roast potatoes. Veg were disgusting and had a twang to them. Probably frozen . Cabbage was yuk. Parsnips hard and tasteless. The best thing was the yorkshire pudding. I wont be returning again. We gave it another try after saying we wouldn't return earlier this year. I had been coming to this pub for years but over the last year has gone right downhill. Don't waste your money. What a shame

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.

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.

What a great find, went on a friend’s recommendation after a poor experience in Hatfield Broad Oak last weekend. The service, quality of food and value for money are all top notch. We will definitely return in the near future and if all three continue, on a regular basis
