Wood Grill - Uttlesford

Best vegetarian burger option within at least 10 miles. Deep fried Brie is a game changer. Love this place

A short drive from Stansted airport is this little gem of a restaurant. On the main road through Stansted Mountfitchet village, there is ample parking and access for disabled. The staff are friendly and can’t do enough to accommodate. The food never disappoints and is good value for money. A family friendly venue with a lively atmosphere, I would highly recommend a visit.

The restaurant was just okay, but I had higher expectations. The prices for food and wine were fair. I ordered the pulled pork, but found it to be overwhelmed by a very sweet sauce. My daughter tried the spinach pizza, which she thought was decent. However, my granddaughter made a great choice with the sea bream, which was delicious. The service was a bit strange. Our server was very attentive at first, but then seemed to disappear after our food was served. It wasn't until another staff member, Lyn, noticed and checked in on us that we felt properly taken care of. Lyn was friendly and made us feel appreciated. If I were to return, I would likely order the fish or a steak.

This restaurant has become a tradition coming here after a visit to Audley End with a party of 13 and each year we are so impressed. They look after the kids first so they are not waiting for their food which is so helpful when the adults food comes out. The food it’s hot, delicious and caters well for my gluten free intolerance. We have been lucky enough to have Lynn serving us the last few visits and she is so helpful, friendly and personable that I felt she was worth a mention. We will be back soon.

Brilliant food and amazing service from Lyn, who made the evening extra special. A great start to Christmas
