user reviews of the Temeraire, Saffron Walden

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

The range and quality of beer is good. For some reason the quality of food isn't as good as our previous regular Wetherspoons but is acceptable (for the price). They apparently have a problem washing up glasses (my wife complains of adherent orange pulp being a frequent feature) and cutlery (the knife I was supplied with my most recent meal there was in a dreadful state). Service is as slow as any Wetherspoons and maybe they could either be a bit more forceful with the fairly regular loud customer and/or call the police sooner when the first warning is unheeded?

RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH!!!!

This is a great example of what a pub should NOT be! Cheap beer invites under-age chavs to get horrendously drunk and then nip round the corner for a kebab and a fight.

Nasty.

Comments below about weekend nights could apply to most JDWs; visit on Sunday to enjoy the usual quality/choice beer and unusually good sunday lunch

Agree with Marcus about Friday/Sat nights. Usual standard Wetherspoons stuff - have some real ales although I don't know how many they actually sell because most of the clientele drink lager or bottles. However it can be a nice place to pop into during the day. Large garden. Cheap. Mind the chavs though.

Friday Night = Slappers and Barry Boys and people with no personality. Oooo this WKD has gone to my head, what shall I do? Have a fight or go to the Kebab shop? I know I'll just stare at the bright lights in this no atmosphere chain pub, whilst my friend smashes a window. Have I got my point across yet?

A very lively and friendly pub, long queues for the bar on Friday nights, but provides good Wetherspoons food and is nice and easy to get to, and lovely and cheap!

The usual Wetherspoons fare and a tendency to attract all the young drinkers to the place. Can be a bit unruly at a weekend after hours when the lads pur out on to the pavement outside. Nevertheless, it is a nice place to go and eat, as long as yu don't mind waiting. Not a good place to go if you are in a hurry or on your lunchbreak.

A J.D.Wetherspoons so you know what to expect, but given the location it's not bad.
