The joys of living in a small market town like Saffron Walden may appeal to many and with little delights like being able to visit the largest parish church in Essex and having a meal at The Restaurant on Church Street. where there are always significant dishes to explore. A well-executed modern European menu with North African touches makes dining here a truly impressive affair.

Merguez, those famed spicy lamb and beef sausages from North African make their appearance amongst starters together with pea and fresh mint risotto. On the main course section dishes such as rump of lamb roasted with cumin served with a light pistachio and rosemary scented jus, garlic roasted new potatoes and butter bean and tomato cassoulet, and pan-fried fillet of pork topped with caramelised apple wedges with a cream and cider sauce may attract attention.

A dessert of mango and passion fruit crème brûlée instantly pleases you with its diverse flavours.
