Pip in Uttlesford

A Walden institution with consistently good food.

The most amazing Starbucks I’ve ever been too, the location is lovely and the store itself has so much character to it, my drink was made perfect by the friendly and helpful staff! The lady helped me pick out a coffee and she was so knowledgeable about coffee, it was so nice to actually talk to someone who not only knows everything about what they are selling but so passionate too! The store was clean and tidy, couldn’t fault it! I really enjoyed my coffee and reading my book here, made me feel like I was sitting at home! Will definitely be back when I’m in Saffron Walden next!

Undergoing refurbishment It needs it so badly

I have been going to Market House just over a year as I had moved to Saffron Walden. I've always had beautiful service with the bartenders -- such a Shona, Alex, Adam. All that staff made myself and my partner feel like family everytime we had gone there. This past weekend my partner and a friend of ours had come to market house for a night out. As the night goes went on I sat down with the owner Andy and a man called Billy -- I was then informed that Billy was also the chef at this establishment. As I was speaking to these two older men Billy became rude towards me telling me I need to 'f**k off' and leave them to their night. I'm not a violent person so I walked away and went to meet my partner to enjoy my night. Later on the night this employee called Billy tripped in front of me turned around and called me a 'C**t' I am a younger woman and was disgusted by this. He didn't stop there and kept calling me that same name. I am appalled by this behaviour from an employee who works at a place where I felt safe. It is such a shame that the owner did nothing! As I said the bartenders had always been kind -- even the bouncer Fiona was extremely kind to me. However as their own Chef can called customers 'C**ts' and get away with it makes me sick to my stomach! I have also attached a picture of the man who called me this and then ran away without an apology. Sadly it has made me think twice of coming back!

Rooms definitely outdated and do not match the photos on the site. Bathroom was dirty. Bed uncomfortable and squeaky.
