My daughter and myself chose the same and had a large mixed grill,came with only 2 out of 6 onions so had to ask for more, the lamb was a big ball of mixed fat and meat, beef was really nice as was the pork and gammon but we still enjoyed the meal. I tried to give a tip with my card but was an unavailable option.

Dirty and in need of a full refurb. Everything was filthy, carpets were disgusting.Food was awful, even compared to other wetherspoon pubs.The one highlight of the meal was the friendly and attentive waiting staff. Couldn't have been better. It's a shame that this dive of a place doesn't live up to their staff.I will not be returning.

Stayed in Saffron Walden for the Noel Gallagher gig at Audley end. We came here on Friday night and Saturday before the gig.. The pub is absolutely lovely!! Great venue and very welcoming. As it's a Wetherspoons there was a superb selection of alcohol on offer! The bar staff were all very friendly and didn't mind answering our questions about the area. Overall an excellent experience....

My children and I love Wetherspoons in Saffron Walden - a lovely treat on a Friday afternoon. Nuggets and chips with a pepperoni pizza to share (and a brew dog for dad) - a firm family favourite. Staff are excellent? always friendly and helpful - thank you!

One of the largest beer gardens of any pub, never mind 'Spoons, that I have ever seen. Fantastic for summer evenings.Service on certain days (for example when there's a big gig on at the nearby Audley End House) is despairingly slow. Not the fault of the staff, but maybe a bit of planning for the sheer numbers would help?

Excellent restoration of a large classic family home in Saffron Walden. Large ground floor with many separate areas to dine in. Usual Wetherspoon value and friendly efficient staff made for a good lunch.

Thankfully I was there during the week when it was quieter but of a weekend it can be very busy. Obviously a good place to meet up with mates for a beer or two

Spent a very pleasant sunday teatime in a mostly empty pub. Everyone else seemed to be out in the beer garden. Food was okay, service good. Like many other JDW's, there isnt much in the way of closeby parking for those like myself with limited mobility.

Had an Empire burger and all 4 patties were cremated. Probably one of the worst pub meals I have ever eaten. Table was not wiped down and was sticky. Normally I Have chicken tikka masala which is the best you do, with a beer great value, but the burger was rubbish

Very poor table service. Defeat's the point of the app if only your drinks make it to the table you've ordered too and have to prompt the staff 50 minutes later to bring you your food. The place was hardly busy and no one had any sense to recheck the ticket. When we prompted about our food, the staff member politely apologised and asked if we'd ordered from the app and if we where sitting outside. She then grabbed our food from the hot hold, ensuring me it was still fresh and was apologetic. We weren't offered any drinks for such a long wait, we're glad we didn't get unwell.

Would not recommend to anyone, staff are not at fault it's the management. We were there coronation weekend (sunday).Had to queue for the bar 20 min wait as only one staff working it. No wine glasses available.Staff were saying sorry to customer's as food was taking a long time explaining they were short staff also had run out of condiments (all sauces) we felt sorry for the staff as run off their feet pub and garden were packed. Come on the management team buck your ideas up

The food was excellent as always and the steak cooked perfectly. The staff are welcoming, efficient and extremely helpful. For the price range this establíshment can't be beaten

Food and drink ordered via app. I eventually went to the bar to pick my own drinks up as I got fed up with waiting. Barman apologised explaining he was the only person working the bar. Food came out in dribs and drabs. Quality of food was below standard despite the fact it's relatively cheap. Vegan burger came out with no lettuce and a tiny side of chips, not even a full portion. Sausage and mash wasn't much bigger than a child's portion, peas were like bullet's. Generally quite untidy inside, toilets not very clean at all. Won't be returning.
