The best restaurants serving Pizza pasta food in Uttlesford East of England

A lovely meal here and friendly quick service all round a great evening.

Our U3A group was visiting Thaxted for the day and sought a convenient and suitable place for lunch for twenty plus persons. We discovered the Maypole and right from the start we were met with a warm welcome and an offer to accommodate our dining requirements. It was agreed that there would be a fixed price set menu which we could distribute to members. On the day itself, on arrival we were warmly greeted and our reserved tables were set out neatly for us. I was overjoyed to see that Timothy Taylor Landlord was available at the bar. The meal itself was excellent. I had the salmon which was a generous portion cooked perfectly. No shortage of accompanying vegetables. Others who had the Mediterranean tart or sausage and mashwere equally impressed. My wife had an enormous and delicious portion of cheesecake and I had a superb portion of apple crumble and custard. I can’t praise this establishment more highly for the service that they provided.

Order placed at 530pm to avoid the rush, delivery said 50 minutes after an hour tried to call multiple times with no answer. At 8pm I spoke with the service team livechat who said the restaurant apologies and says it will be there in 30 minutes. At 830 I tried to call again, no response, back on livechat who couldn't get hold of them and said to wait 15 minutes and if I never got my food to email them for a refund! I have a 2 week old baby and a 7 year old who by this point is starving, I had a cesarean so can't drive hense the delivery and my partner is back at work from today. I managed to get a family member to come and collect me to take me to the restaurant where they said "there has been a fight in the restaurant and we had no way to do your order or contact you" as they were saying this a delivery driver was packing a bag with food to deliver to somebody. They did offer to cook the food (a pizza and a kebab) bit said it would take 25 minutes! Whilst I was in there there was no sign of there having been a fight inside but the place was disgusting. Needless to say I will never ever order with them again.

Great Dunmow Essex: Ordered last night and it arrived cold. When cold, it ruins the entire order. It was tasteless, hardened and the extra topping I asked for wasn't applied. It was like eating cardboard, just dire. These pizzas aren't cheap. The least you could do is get the order to me in time.

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!
