Parrishes Wine - Uttlesford

The food at this restaurant is seriously top quality. I visited last year for breakfast and recently returned to try the cod loin, while my wife had the pork belly. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful, generous in portion size, and perfectly cooked. It's clear that everything is homemade, and it made for the best meal we've had in a long time.

Nice Town with a great history. Parrishes is situated in the centre of Thaxted, so its more than handy. Decent enough service and generally all home cooked on premises. Fair prices and generally quite friendly. Would recommend.

The food is good quality but in my view too expensive. I regularly pop in for a morning coffee though which is excellent.

It would be more customer friendly to have a ‘sticker’ on the menu cards (rather than re-printing the whole set of cards saying that the price of coffee (and perhaps other drinks! has been increased, rather than being told, when going to pay, “that’ll be another £1 please”, having proffered what was thought to be the correct amount. “There is a card on the end of the bar saying that prices have gone up”. Not a very professional way of doing things .

Popped in for a generous full English and some whitebait and chips. This isn’t gastropub cuisine but it is generous, hot and tasty. Excellent service, big portions and very reasonably priced.
