Even though many cafes…read morein the town were packed, the proprietors decided on a Take away only service, which we thought was prudent, appropriate and socially responsible in light of prevailing conditions. This Take away service was not at the expense of the planet as they readily accepted our reusable cups for our Take away order. The icing on the cake was that the variety of coffee had a lovely nutty tinge. All I can say is exemplary.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best pubs in Saffron Walden. Whether you are after a quiet…read moremidweek drink after work, a great pub lunch, to catch the match on Sky or indeed any channel or have a great night out with your mates then come and see Ian or Sarah (Landlord and Landlady) and you will have a great time. They have a wide variety of lager and bitter on tap along with a huge selection of spirits and soft drinks. There is a small private car-park at the rear of the pub and small beer garden with several picnic type tables/benches. This is quite a sporty pub and regularly has a football or rugby match showing on one of several screens in the bar and the bar staff are usually quite accommodating if there is a particular event that people want to watch so long as it doesn't clash with a major fixture. But I have seen Football, Rugby, Tennis, Olympic events and loads of other sports over the years that I called this pub 'my local'. The Duke also does a great lunchtime menu - which I'd describe as good, traditional pub grub - and serves a variety of food from sandwiches and baguettes to burgers, scampi and lasagne. The bar staff are always friendly and professional and if they can help - they will. If you ever find yourself in Saffron Walden, please stop in and say hello to The Duke of York.

The restaurant motto is they have "air-freight fresh Thai vegetables and herbs from Bangkok every week". They also don't use MSG, they don't need to add any kind of flavor enhancer because it pure taste to my taste buds.

The Eastern European waitress wanted to relate with us trying to copy our language (dutch), which was sympathetic and akward at the same time. She went out of her way to look for Coke Zero we ordered and was thought to be sold out. The only minus. Our daughter asked for a margaritha with ham but got sausage. This sausage was rather spicy, which is not her preferred taste. Probably would have better returned it, but she wanted to eat together with us. She took almost all the sausage of the pizza. We were on the first flour and it became noisy when three families joined. Curtains to damp noise would probably be a good idea.

The croquettes were the same, and the filling was bland and barely warm. The sauce for the croquettes was cold - and i mean straight out of the fridge cold. I had a pizza for my main, which while not horrible... was also not flavourful. My husband's calzone was okay, yet the salad that came with it was arranged into a smiley face. Would have been cute for a 5 year old, but it was just us two adults... very awkward. We then waited ages for the bill. We got tired of waiting and paid at the bar on our way out.

The pizza is authentic, fresh and just tastes good. Not much more to say really. Also, it does pasta and I remember the spaghetti carbonara being especially good as well. Yeah it's just a lovely place. I mean it's an Italian restaurant that cooks good Italian food. What more do you want? I think the service is about average really. Not painfully long but not outstanding either. Reasonably priced as I recall, seeing as you are largely paying for the experience as well as the food. So yeah. 5/5
