Bakers Arms in Epping Forest

Perfect atmosphere, very tasty food, pleasant service 👌🏻

Great friendly service. Food amazing as always. Love this place. Go there as much as we can. Never had a bad meal.

Food quite good for a chain pub. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Cosy atmosphere.

nicely presented food. we sat outside as it was a warm night, very pleasent

Great food, cosy atmosphere, friendly professional service. Expensive but worth the cost.

Excellent pub. Very good food and service. We were a large group of walkers but they catered for us very well.

Lovely decor and nice food. Also kind to dogs 😁

The food is amazing, it's a little expensive but worth it. The service is brilliant. I took my parents out for dinner and the music was rather loud. My dad has hearing issues and with his hearing aids in the music was overwhelming, however if he take his aids out he can't hear us. We asked the staff if we could move and said the reason. They looked around and they said they would just turn the music down. The seeing staff Jo and Sophie spent several minutes turning down the music so other customers could heard the music but not overwhelming for my dad. This is true good service. Thank you.

Lovely atmosphere, nice selection on menu. Service was excellent. Staff Lovely polite

Love this place,always good to come here for a pint and some decent grub,banging food and a cheeky pint of madri helps

Awful food and very over priced for what it is.

Oct 2024: We visited to have a birthday lunch (and Sunday roast) for the family. Fantastic food for everyone in our party. Lovely, friendly service by the whole team. The restaurant was clean and well presented. The toilets were also good! Background music just at the right volume. The only feedback is for the online booking App. Once you make a booking and set the number of guests in your party, you cannot then amend the booking to increase the number of guests. You can only reduce the guests so we had to call up. The AI answerphone was a bit off-putting but seemed to work ok. Otherwise great. Thanks. Previously: Lovely new refit. Very relaxed place to chill, indoors or out. The AI phone service is a bit odd. I tried to call several times and couldn’t speak to a person - not answering.

Fantastic food and great service really had a lovely evening thanks

Fantastic Sunday lunch, friendly and helpful staff 👍

After a previous bad experience here, it was nice to return and get excellent service and delicious food

Good place to meet with friends for lunch.

Great evening served by Courtney.

Lovely pub, excellent service from Courtney, great atmosphere, delicious menu

Excellent service as I have Allergies with oils , the staff and chefs catered to my needs 👍🏾 definitely recommend this restaurant 😊

Lovely meal with my friend, we went at lunchtime on a Monday and it was the right level of busy. Nicely decorated throughout, great service and wonderful food, reasonably priced too.

Very disappointed in tonight’s service- no one asked if we wanted desserts, coffee or any other drinks. Could not even catch a waitress to ask for the bill. Stood at the bar and waited. When someone appeared I asked if they were short staffed? Response was NO!

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent. Very dog friendly facilities

Good food, good friendly staff, Only down point no EE signal to use the app.

Looked after by Holly and was treated very well and friendly throughout A+++

Nice food with a side order of flies

Nice location and a good choice range on the menu. Good food. Pleasantly looked after including consideration for a family member with limited mobility. Many thanks, Courtney and Coral.

Great place, great service, helpful staff.

I visited for a meal with my partner and we was served by Jo... who is happy, friendly and very warm and welcoming... I haven't been here for a while the food standard is still good, we will definitely visit again. 🙂

Stayed at the premier inn next door. Stopped here for tea, Staff were lovely and friendly spotlessly clean throughout. Great selection of meals on the menu, ideal for a fussy eater like me, great selection of sides if you just wanted to graze. Had the vegetarian grill, I liked it that much, I went again the following day and had the Garden Patch Medley. Lovely place, great outdoor seating area.

Always a friendly welcome at the Bakers Arms and a lovely warm atmosphere,food was excellent,and our waitress Jo was friendly and welcoming and very attentive.

Food was delicious 😋 Katie our waitress was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her A great asset to the Bakers arms team xx

Thanks very much Courtney excellent speedy and patient service and nice lamb special

Very happy. We have visited this place many times but usually for a quick cup of tea and coffee. The staff are always pleasant, the place is clean and it is a lovely environment. Tonight, the young lady who greeted us was once again friendly and efficient. Initially, we were there just for tea but ended up having a meal. The lady understood our needs and was totally accommodating. The food was of a great standard, excellent portion, and served as requested. I didn't get her name but will do next time however, as mentioned above, we find all the staff to be excellent. Thoroughly recommended by us.

Lovely place, the staff were very friendly and the food was good

The roast dinner was amazing, best potatoes I've ever been served! Well worth every penny. The waitress called Holly was brilliant as well, always available to assist when needed, without hassling in the process. A five star experience indeed!

Really enjoyed our Sunday roast here, Courtney was really helpful and attentive and made our experience really nice. Definitely would recommend.

Courtney was our server, lovely girl nothing too much Shame didn’t have any cauliflower cheese or cracking,however was late in the day that we visited.

Was looked after by Courtney, great service & nice food.

Nice and welcoming bar staff good food and drink. Stephen was especially nice and pleasant. Great place

Lovely pub, clean and welcoming inside, friendly staff, and plenty of outdoor seating. One of the few places you can still get Martini rosso !!!

Good food, service and atmosphere.

We have visited the Baker's Arms many times we are impressed with all of you're menu the presentation & flavours are spot on compliments to you're chefs &staff are very attentive which is a credit as well thank you 😊

Always a warm welcome at The Bakers Arms,we've been coming here for years, great food,great choice of drinks and fantastic staff

Lovely atmosphere. We were really well looked after by everyone there, including Courtney! Great pub for dogs too!

Lovely pub and the food was great. Coral made sure we had everything we needed so thank you. We will definitely be visiting again :)

We have popped to the Bakers arms for a couple of drinks in the past but decided to pop in today for Sunday lunch. Given it was Father’s Day and obviously very busy we were given a nice table straight away. We had a 3 course meal and have to say it was amazing. One of the best roast dinners I’ve had In a very long time. My wife said her sea bass was cooked perfectly. The service was outstanding particularly from Courtney who looked after us. Really nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back very soon. A+++

Very tasty meal for a fair price

Fab place, great food and service. Courtney was lovely and so helpful! Thank you The Bakers Arms!

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and first class service from the delightful Courtney & Holly. Would highly recommend.

We’ve had a few meals here lately. The food is always top notch and the staff treat us very well. We will be back soon I’m sure.

Nice roast dinner, just hot enough. Waitress Courtney friendly and enthusiastic, doing a decent job at a busy time. Shame the gammon not on Sundays as this is a favourite!

Nicely refurbished pub. Fantastic outdoor area. Haven't tried the food yet but it looked good,will try it next time

The staff were brilliant. Stephen & Jo. Very helpful....lovely. the meal was just great. It seems to have got much better. Everything was just so nice. I'm glad cos it was my good friends birthday 🎂 Will be back....Thank Stephen for me x

Big airy pub. Had sea bass which was tasty but the vegetables made it. Got served very quickly and didn't have to wait around. Had it at 1 pm but I'm going to have to have another meal this evening!

Lovely meal and excellent service. Courtney who served us was lovely and helpful. Will be back. Thanks

A lovely place for a meal. So inviting and very clean. A friendly establishment along with the staff 👍

Very nice place modern terase and lovley food

Courtney was a lovely waitress, really friend and polite. The food was delicious. Would recommend 👌

Food was very nice and staff were excellent

I didnt actually plan to come back to this pub after my experience of really unfriendly staff a few years ago. I vowed not to go back, but we wanted dinner and the pub down the road had no parking spaces left. On entering we were met with really friendly, welcoming staff. The menu was what you would expect with some specials on the walls. I am assuming he was the manager but he often passed the table and said hello, it was a great experience. The food was lovely, very comforting food that my parents would have loved. The atmosphere was lovely and the decor was pleasant. The toilets, which always dictates the way a pub is run to me, were pristine. I will definitely be back.

First time eating here and wow...the food was amazing. Had the Sunday roast which was the best roast we have had out, much better than Toby. Would highly recommend.

Nice food, good service and a nice venue

Great food, great service by Nicole thank you

Up market pub with oak beams and country cottage feel. Great restaurant menu and nice large outdoor seating area. Manager and staff are excellent.

Dinner was great, Nicole was helpful and deserves high praise for assisting me with my food needs. She was helpful at every stage. Food was good as always

Disappointing visit. We booked for a large number (11). 3 of the party cannot eat garlic, which is added to most items on the menu, including the roast potatoes in all the roasts. Unfortunately, it is also appears to be added to the veg in the roasts, even though this is not mentioned on the menu. The Roast Sirlion beef was extremely tough and rubbery, but was better than the turkey which was small in portion, and very strange in taste. The best comment we had from our party about the food was 'its ok'. The meal took a long time from ordering to service, but this could be because there was so many of us. A few things were ordered, but not served, and were removed from the bill. Overall A real shame as we loved the menu in advance.

Really friendly staff. Ellie, Sophie and John deserve a shout out. We stay here for business a lot. So use this pub every time we stay. Really good food and a great selection of drinks.

Visited today for a drink and decided to have some sharing food. It was awful, everything was deep fried and tasted and looked the same, the batter was so thick you couldn't actually taste anything else. The chickpea dip was OK, but we got 1 piece of tiny bread between 2 people. I would definitely not recommend this dish. I have eaten here many times from the main menu and the food has always been really good so quite disappointed today that the food wasn't upto the usual standard

Served by Stephen. Very good service and food. Would highly recommend.

Working away every week, you tend to get your usual haints and hotels dotted around the country that you tend to use. Being in North lo.don I always try to Use Prem Inn Waltham Abbey. Not necessarily because of the hotel, but because of The Bakers. The staff can't do enough to make sure you are happy with dinner. The standard of food is high with chefs specials and really tasty options. The FOH team are super friendly and always go the extra mile to please. A great place to eat, wether for a meal after work of family occasions. Well done to the team.

Not as dog friendly as they say.

We went for a pub lunch as it was a fab day and place dog friendly (according to website). Staff were friendly and plentiful but the food quality was very poor. - over cooked and full of oil. - felt like frozen stuff, fried and served. - value - ok but not restaurant quality. When did we lose the ability to do good food? Sorry but we will not be coming back anytime soon.

Really nice place and the staff are so lovely. Can't say the same for the food though, which would be another important factor for most. Top marks for having a gluten free Sunday roast option and maybe it's pre-prepared, which might explain why it was slightly disappointing, with what seemed like frozen roast potatoes and withered vegetables. If this is the case maybe there's a way that people who can't tolerate wheat could have the same standard as gastro typicals in future ? Although, as I say, well done for having the option at all. And such lovely staff

This hugely welcoming pub had fantastic food, excellent prices and was perfect for the whole family, including the dogs. Dog blankets and treats made them feel very welcome.

Fantastic food, friendly staff and very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be making another visit in the future.

An excellent choice for celebrating a ‘big’ birthday! John and his team did us proud with really helpful service and the food also very good! Highly recommended!

It's quite good, but only good. Food feels mass-produced, and portions are on the small side, which would be fine except the prices are not. The staff are nice.

A nice place to eat, Good food, but the service was a bit slow especially when waiting for the bill.

Nice family catch up. Wonderful service, really good food. I had turkey roast which was great. Potato heavy in garlic as described on menu but too heavy for me. Good location. Definitely go again, hadn't been since January but only 2 people then. Thanks

What an amazing pub… The staff were so friendly and accommodated me so well. I have complex dietary conditions and I never expect anyone to put themselves out for me. The Bakers Arms definitely opened their arms with a plater, not for everyone, but for me was amazing. What do you expect from a pub… you’re not five star dining…. Or are you? Well their sorbet is amazing. No desert wine, try the Chapel Down English Rose’. For a great pub a great match… thank you guys 🤗

great food and environment. we just had a long wait for food but was worth it in the end :)

Food came in a reasonable time and the Duo Chicken was very good.

Delicious food and incredibly warm & friendly service. They could not have been nicer!

Service was good, Food quantity was less than other pubs which are around in the area. Decor was good.

Just been for a lovely family meal, Sam & Chris were working hard to provide a good service, special thanks to Sam for making a few menu tweeks for the kids. 😊

Great food - service was really good - friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere was nice too. Highly recommended

Nicely refurbished recently. Dog friendly. Good range of food choices. Staff very friendly too. Outdoor seating area is very nice and clean too!

Great service from Stephen and had a fantastic, plentiful Sunday roast.

Popped in for breakfast at 10am on Sat after doing the Gunpowder parkrun. Pub is lovely inside. It was very quiet when we were there but service was friendly and welcoming. We had bacon sandwiches and coffee before carrying on with our journey north. I would recommend to other parkrunners as this is a gem of a place for a parkrun breakfast.

Roast Potatoes were hard and some cold. Meat was dry. Gravy was miniscule, as was my starter for what I paid for it.

Such a lovely little pub, stopped by with my partner after a dog walk. Was so impressed with the service and warm welcome from Coral. Was given great suggestions on food options (which were delicious!) and chester was delighted with his treats and fresh bowl of water. Will be coming back here with friends and family for sure.

Very friendly place, service was very good and the food was great.

Great bar great food great staff, love this place

Lovely atmosphere and great attentive staff. Had the steak pie and it was delicious 😋 perfect lighting and decor for a lovely evening meal. Aslo Sumner is great with the patio area 👌

Breakfast was amazing and Stephen was a brilliant, very attentive. Would not hesitate to go back. Actually re-book for next Sunday!

Decent food, accomodated us even when not booked.

Stephen was a great host. From fuelling the fire to fuelling me with food and pints. Great service!

Unbelievable service by Stephen at the Bakers. Fast and efficient Service will definitely be back when I’m working away next month.

Enjoy going to Bakers Arms you are made welcome and it is Dog frendly.

It's a Green King pub. Staff were great, the roast was ok, but the brownie and ice cream was fantastic.
