We had an incredible time at The Eight Bells. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating to gluten free guests. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in the old barn area was comfortable and inspired. Highly recommend a visit.

Super Sunday lunch for 4 of us. Roasts and desserts were delicious. Nut roast was the best I've ever had. Chilled water provided as soon as we arrived which was very welcome on such a hot day. Staff and manager were friendly and helpful. Thank you all.

Lovely family Sunday lunch had here. There were 10 of us altogether, so we had a separate area with a long table seating us all. The service was very good. The waiter was cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Most had a roast beef lunch, I had the pork loin. The children had the burgers. My mother is a small eater so they allowed her to choose from the kids menu. Everyone said their food was delicious and the meat cooked to how they had ordered it.

Very nice charming place with lots of character. Tasty food. We chosen this place randomly but we enjoyed it.

Had a lovely Sunday roast with the family.

Food could have been a touch faster and the roast a touch more tender. But overall a solid 4.3.

I wouldn't travel all the way there for the roast alone, however if you're in the area visiting Saffron Walden or Audley End Housr, you can't go wrong.

I'd order fish and chips if I'd do it again.

Excellent meal, really friendly and helpful staff. 4 of us all had roast dinners and deserts and everything was amazing. Couldn’t fault a single thing! Plus they are dog friendly

Took my mum here for her 80th birthday as was about an hours drive for everyone to meet up. We were looking for somewhere a little bit more special and The Eight Bells ticked all the boxes. The restaurant is amazing and so is the food. Service was great and the staff really friendly. Also dog friendly except the restaurant which is handy to know
