The Duke Of York - Saffron Walden

This is, in my opinion, one of the best pubs in Saffron Walden. Whether you are after a quiet midweek drink after work, a great pub lunch, to catch the match on Sky or indeed any channel or have a great night out with your mates then come and see Ian or Sarah (Landlord and Landlady) and you will have a great time. They have a wide variety of lager and bitter on tap along with a huge selection of spirits and soft drinks. There is a small private car park at the rear of the pub and small beer garden with several picnic type tables/benches. This is quite a sporty pub and regularly has a football or rugby match showing on one of several screens in the bar and the bar staff are usually quite accommodating if there is a particular event that people want to watch so long as it doesn 't clash with a major fixture. But I have seen Football, Rugby, Tennis, Olympic events and loads of other sports over the years that I called this pub 'my local '. The Duke also does a great lunchtime menu which I 'd describe as good, traditional pub grub and serves a variety of food from sandwiches and baguettes to burgers, scampi and lasagne. The bar staff are always friendly and professional and if they can help they will. If you ever find yourself in Saffron Walden, please stop in and say hello to The Duke of York.
