The Railway Arms — Restaurant in Uttlesford

Such a shame, had such promise - community pub with lovely garden. 4 year old and 2/3 year old playing with a ball in the garden and told off by miserable older man who was management. There was a sign that said ‘no ball games’ but we couldn’t see it from where we were sitting. He didn’t approach us as parents (who were sat right next to the children who were just rolling a ball to each other). Just went straight up to the children and told them off. 4 year old was hysterical and sobbing at being approached inappropriately by total stranger. When I politely spoke to him to say how much my child was upset he told me ‘it wasn’t a crèche and it was my job to look after my child’. We were sat right next to them, just didn’t see the sign. Had he approached us and politely pointed out the sign we would have of course put the ball away. We were totally dumbfounded by his rude and inappropriate behaviour and having spoken to the other customers in the garden at the time, he seems fairly renowned for his grumpiness and moods! Evident from other reviews citing rudeness! Won’t be...

Fully deserving of a 5🌟 review. Lovely staff (Margaret and Amy ? on the day) super friendly local customers and great quality real ale / cider (own cider produced on the premises). Pub has lots of interesting pictures / items etc relating to the closed railway station and community take over - pub is owned by local shareholders. Can't fault the place - best pub in Saffron Walden. Nice garden too, still being developed but great as it is 👍. Loved my visit thank you staff and the customers I chatted...

I visited the Railways Arms with my family on its opening day as a community pub/free house and it was brilliant. The service was friendly and efficient, there was a really welcoming atmosphere and the fine range of beers (some from local breweries) and other drinks were very resonably priced. The outdoor space was amazing and it really caught the sun in the garden in the late afternoon/evening. We'll definitely be back regularly over the coming weeks,...
