The best restaurants in Uttlesford East of England

This place has a bad rep locally. But i moved here only a year ago and it is my favourite. I guess the chef has changed. The curry sauce its top notch!!

Came here early before my flight, staff were very friendly and kind, and the coffee was great as always. The only thing is to make sure you check in your car numberplate on the machine inside otherwise you get fined, we were verg unaware of this especially being tired and the staff didnt mention, luckily saw it last minute. Could do with more signs inside regarding the fine for parking situation as i didnt see the signs in the dark.

Servers were happy to guide, quick to serve and food was fresh. Very good customer service here

You know you will be ripped off in a UK airport, but this was off the scale. £11.40 for a small black coffee and "Joe's Club Sandwich". The "sandwich" price, at £8.00, needed to be something special. It was pathetic. Younger people seem to favour the special juices - but stay away from the food, tremendous rip off and the most incredible over charging under delivering I've seen for many years in the UK. Under their sign in London Stansted it says "Coffee, Juice and Much More". Seeing as I had to picnic on a hard wood stool, drink from a disposable waxed take-away cup and try to eat the tiny "sandwich" half warmed in a toasting machine wrapped in greasy paper with a paper napkin, I think it's the most expensive underrated picnic I've ever had. There are proper restaurants in the airport that serve real food, on real plates and even have cutlery. If you want food, this is "Coffee, Juice and Much LESS for MUCH MORE".

Good coffee and good service staff are mainly friendly and seem to know how to make a good coffee. Lots of choice food as in all starbucks is expensive for what it is but cakes are not bad this is one of the better places to refresh at this service station

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.

The slowest fast food in Essex? The food was OK. But the service was poor. 3 staff behind the counter, only two people waiting for food when we ordered. But the food still took almost 20 minutes to be prepared.

Music playing too loud inside. Went outside to find speakers outside too! Not necessary. Music is NOT needed everywhere. Service was OK but not the most friendly. Supervisor seemed more interested in picking up issues with her team rather than seeing to her customers. Starbucks ask customers for a name and then speltvit incorrectly and didn't use it when the order was delivered. I can't see it was a bad experience, it just wasn't welcoming.

Place was empty I was new to area went in ordered 2 fish and chips They had screens up (covid screens) so went to pay with card rude lady just said “ain’t you got cash” Chips were under cooked and still hard but fish ok Won’t go back again

Good food but it was very dirty and expensive

One of the few places at Stansted where you can get your coffee in a good old school porcelain cup without otherwise having to consume micro-plastics. Coffee was delicious, staff are great! Thank you!

The food is good but overpriced. They give you free fountain drinks which is plus. Sometimes the machine is empty. The place is very crowded but occasionally you can find a place to sit down. There is this food court, benches sometimes don't charge your phone, gotta charge it in the hallways by the shower and toilet. The airport doesn't do good gate checks upon arrival.

Don’t use this McDonald’s got a £60 car parking fine spent 35 minutes there never saw any signs but have to admit wasn’t looking for any as you don’t expect to pay

Well, we were seated quickly, which was the last quick thing that happened here. I don't like to be rushed over dinner, but that's not a problem here, wait 30mins to order, 30 mins for nibbles - 30 minutes for mains. then just -- abandoned - couldn't even get any mustard for the tasteless steak. 30 mins after finishing our meals with no sign of any staff coming near us (although there were a few cleaning tables elsewhere - obviously actual customers not a priority) we just decided to leave. We went and sat in the bar, eventually someone came over asking if we'd like to pay, I have premium membership and so entitled to 10% off food and drink - apparently the general manager has decided that this does not apply to drinks, despite there being posters in all the lifts saying "10% discount of food and beverages" for members. I wasn't going to have that argument, so left it alone. I did comment to the waitress that I felt the quality of the food for price was "average at best" she commented back along the lines that it was an airport hotel what would you expect? I would expect better, and certainly better service when they are selling you a £10 bottle of wine available from Tesco for £42... The menu formatting also looks like it was done by a 10 year old. Wine list is particularly bad.
