Visited the Eight Bells recently on a trip to Saffron Walden and would highly recommend it to anyone. The food was beautiful, with a carefully thought out seasonal menu of high quality at a reasonable price. The service was excellent, and the character of the building with it's timber frame and medieval charm made for a stunning place to eat on a cold January evening! A must visit in Saffron Walden!!

Dined here with friends last night - we unanimously felt the food was exquisite, the service was excellent and the restaurant interior has a real wow factor. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely afternoon here, made better by a very nice, efficient, helpful waitress called Daisy and a friendly manager who made time for us despite a packed restaurant.

The restaurant was recommended to us so we drove 1 hour and 20 minutes to dine there however on arrival was turned away with my 4 year old being told we didn't book. Extremely disappointed that they couldn't accommodate 3 new customers who travelled do far to dine with them.
Made to feel unwanted now reading the reviews below seem skin colour or identity is an issue here.

Quite pricey, but a relaxing, unhurried atmosphere in attractive surroundings. Good service and so helpful to have a car park.

A great place to have a meal after a beautiful walk in Bridge End Garden. Our waiter Chris was very polite, helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Overpriced we had 2 crumbles we could not get cream because they use it for the panna cotta. No custard offered but a purple sweet cheap ice cream that did not go with the crumble. Two desserts and one coffee came to £31.
I have been there for two Sunday lunches which were very good.
The tables and chairs in this beautiful room are very tacky and old. It looks like an old-fashioned school room. Sadly I would not take us there again.

Not a great experience and that's disappointing in many ways. It's an amazing building let down by the team. On the day we went they had run out of some of the options. We were offered alternatives for free by a member of staff so we agreed as we had been there so long already. Food and drinks service extremely slow on our visit and there were more stack than customers, I don't understand it really. So much potential but delivery was way under par. Expensive for what we received.

This is a lovely old pub with a stunning dining room. The new beer garden is a delight. The staff are very pleasant and the food is very good. They also have their own car park.

I loved the Sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding. The staff was really friendly. We arrived around 10-12 minutes early than the time i booked, but they were happy to seat us.
