Parrishes Wine - Uttlesford

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.

Cappuchino was dark dishwater covered in chocolate. The cake was a piece of stale sponge coated in lurid icing. Totally inedible, However could be weaponised as an unpleasant sugar fix for unmanaged children, or to register dissatisfaction with custody arrangements

Having moved to the area recently we’ve visited a number of times for breakfast. The staff are all so attentive and kind. The owners always treat our dog so kindly, offering him treats and water. The breakfasts are good and the cost is reasonable. Thaxted is lucky to have such a lovely little place to stop off in.

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 .
