Yesterday my wife and I went from Bishop's Stortford to meet a friend in Saffron Walden and we were looking for a place to eat together at 4 pm. At that time everything was closed in town. Our friend tells us to visit Gluttons. Once there we were received by a young lady in a friendly manner, she suggested to take a seat wherever we wished. We had a Corean chicken hamburger and a Special Salad, our friend only a muffin with jam and butter and a tea. Everything was prepared very fast and clean, on beautiful dishes. We passed a very nice time there. We left at 5:15 pm and once outside I've noticed that the place should be closed at 4 pm! That was an incredible surprise to feel that we were very well admitted and that they never suggest that we should go, despite we arrived at closing time. We appreciate that and wish to thank these courteous persons! I must say that the two staff members are very beautiful, kind and clever women (sorry I didn't take their names). The chef went to ask if everything was fine with the food (that we finish completely as they offered excellent dishes!). The young lady had a smile and nice manners all the time. My wife and I will have a nice memory of this visit and as soon as we have the opportunity will come back to Saffron Walden and Gluttons with my daughter and son in law. Thank you very much indeed...
Read moreI had a craving for cheesecake a few days ago. Having not found something to my liking in the town, I tried my luck at the Gluttons.There it was, a beautiful cherry ripple cheesecake, in the display fridge. 🍒 The staff warmly and joyfully welcomed me in and introduced me to the range of cakes and other baked goods on offer.
I stuck to my choice of cheesecake and that didn't disappoint at all. It was rich, creamy, not too tart, and of a decent portion size. I also liked the relaxing ambience with an original architecture featuring naked timber beams and pillars. The place was also spotlessly clean and I felt really COVID-safe there. 😌
Just before I left (5 mins to closing time), I also inadvertently got to witness how the Gluttons team extended the same kind of warm welcome to three diners who were looking for some proper food and drink. What the diners didn't realise was that the cafe was in fact closing, but the staff didn't give that away and continued to serve them as normal. I of course didn't say anything either and played along! 😉 It's just so heart-warming! ❣️
This amazing level of customer care is a good enough reason for me to return to support this local, family business. And of course, I'll try more cakes next time! 🍰 Thank you, the team at The Gluttons, you made...
Read moreBased on 3 people opinion. Service - even though we weren’t waiting ages for our food, we was updated to how much longer it would be, whenever we asked for something, we never felt like we bothered them, and they were happy to oblige.
Food - we ordered 1 fish finger sandwich, and 1 ham, cheese and mushroom toastie, both on sour dough -and a jacket potato with prawns, bacon and avacado with a side salad. I’m not going to lie, when the food arrived, I couldn’t believe the amount we got, the sandwiches were huge and they didn’t skimp on the jacket either. It tasted absolutely delicious.I had heard good things, but the three of us who went can be fussy with our food, so tried to lower my expectations, but t was so nice.
Price - so when I saw the price, at first I thought it was a little steep, until they brought it out, and you definitely get your moneys worth. So taking the cost, the taste and the amount you get in to account, is 3 fussy buggers give...
