Farand Bar & Kitchen in Epping Forest

Great community spirit having been out walking my dog last night I asked the staff if they could get my dog some water to drink they went above and beyond to get him some thank you

Excellent service . And clean environment 👍🏻

The worse sushi experience ever. I order plater all of then were disaster no taste, thick rice, falling apart, they cut not same size, one is fat and massive piece, second wonky and skinny. Place is nice for drinks only

If only I could give 0 stars! I booked and when I turned up with my friends, it was closed!! Stay away from this place.

That's the best food I've had in a long time. And the service was great as well.

Really nice place. Sushi is super tasty and very well plated. Nice bar. Big selection of wines to choose from.

Best place to spend good time with friends. Lovely atmosphere and great cocktails.

Perfect place to spend time with friends or a romantic evening. The owners lovely and friendly, very atmospheric place, great DJ, nice cocktails and food. Would definitely recommend.

Great place, went there for few drinks after work, amazing food and cocktails, staff super friendly. Nice music, too bad it’s a bit hidden. I definitely recommend it.

Our favorite place 🥰 amazing staff delicious food🥰🥰🥰

Booked and turned up. Was told they only open for private dining parties and have no kitchen open. Edit: as the restaurant has replied and is adamant that there were no other bookings, here is the confirmation email I received after booking. Thanks for your booking which is confirmed. We are very happy you have decided to join us. Please tell your friends about the service we are doing - we are always looking for more support from the local community and thanks for that.Name: redacted Phone: redacted Email: redacted Party: 2 Date: 09/03/2022 Time: 19:00

Turned up for a booking at 6.30. Was rudely turned away as they had a private party. No phone call no email no text. Ruined my partner's evening. I would not recommend to anyone after this experience.

Booked a table for a suprise meal for 21/05/2021 and turned up at correct time of 6.30pm and was turned away. Wouldn't suggest this place for anyone. Had a conformation email saying we was booked in but turned up and was rudely turned away for a private party. Evening ruined for my wife and hope no one goes back to this disgusting restaurant again.

Really nice and modern place to enjoy and have a great time.

Great food and contrails will be back

Beautifully decorated venue with tasty sushi. Manager was very friendly too

Went for dinner for the first time and would definitely recommend. Food was delicious, drinks were great and staff were incredibly friendly. Our group wasn’t sure what to order and the staff were more than happy to make recommendations, all of which were on point. Will 100% be back!

Brilliant little bar, nicely decorated, amazing cocktails at great prices and really knowledgeable and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning. Update: Sushi is absolutely amazing, very different and extremely tasty.

Wow , superb sushi , great ambiance and fantastic staff , lively bar with cocktails , a little gem . We will definetly be back very soon 🥰

We had an amazing time at the restaurant with great service, great cocktails and wonderful food.

What a little gem in Waltham Abbey. Food absolutely amazing, staff helped us with the menu and were so helpful. Decor and music perfect. Tad expensive but Give it a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

A lovely evening with exceptional food. Staff very helpful explaining about the fusion Japanese food. Will go again. Very stylish decor

Sushi was nice but disappointed with the service and the dessert. We ordered the mochi for £8 which transpired to be the little moon desserts you can buy in the frozen aisle in Tesco's (we literally had these in our freezer at home). We brought this to the waiters attention but his explanation was that Tesco must have the 'same authentic Japanese supplier as Farand'. All in all, the food was ok but overpriced and the service wasn't great. We won't be returning unfortunately.

What a lovely little place! Came here for valentines and had the most lovely food and drinks! Nice relaxed atmosphere. Flirt martini is the best! Thankyou for a lovely evening!

The venue, drinks and staff were flawless. The cocktails are amazing! Update: the sushi is fantastic and really unique, this is a top class place.

The perfect evening! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and service second to none. We enjoyed a number of different cocktails, all well balanced and made to our own taste. The Sushi was beautifully constructed and presented and the flavours were fresh and tasty. We tried a variety of pieces including rolls, nigri and gunkan. Already planning our return visit.

Wonderful place and great night out! Fantastic service, u can watch sushi being made and very attentive staff. Just what Waltham Abbey village needs xx

Highly recommend the venue. Sophisticated design and calming atmosphere. The food was dreamy as well as the cocktails. Good prices!

Very nice and cozy place. Staff amazing. We love it!!!

Very lovely staff, and the food is amazing !

That is a truly awesome bar. Recommend!

Wow. What a gem hidden off the high street. Well worth checking out.

Brilliant atmosphere, great food and good cocktails. Attentive staff with friendly interaction. A little expensive but worth the cost.

Great place! Great cocktails!!!🎉nice food, amazing music!

Visited with a friend and the whole evening could not be faulted. Starting with the cocktails - we told the mixologist what we liked and our drinks arrived all evening with a little twist! We ordered off the Chinese menu and it was very tasty and perfectly spiced. We then tried salmon from the sushi bar and it was simply the best I’ve had in this country! It wasn’t just salmon and rice! I will definitely return as I couldn’t fault Farand.

Absolutely lovely, food was great , the mixologists were AMAZING.... fabulous atmosphere and service second to none. So glad we discovered this place

Fantastic place for either a lovely cocktail and / or the amazing Asian food. The decor is stunning - you could be mistaken for thinking you are in a top bar in London. The music is the right volume. Please give this place a try. Would highly recommend

Food is amazin. And the attmosphere is great. Staff are really friendly. Defiantly will be back again.

Great atmosphere, interesting style, good vibes. Nice asian food. Cocktails made with our choice of main drink in it. Outstanding service. Absolutely recommend for nice and chilled experience.

What a great find! Amazing venue. Top cocktails and the music was awesome!! If you want a top night out then this is the place!

Amazinnggggg service and cocktails! Customer service is beyondddd the stars i am giving for this place. This will always be my new place from now on. I recommend to those who has not yet been here. Keep it up 👍🏻

Great new bar with a great vibe

Amazing cocktail bar and the staff are the best - very friendly and knowledgeable. Never failed to have a great night every time I've been there!

Visited this new venue for a gin tasting event. Tucked away off Sun Street, stairs take you to a very smartly presented bar with dining area at one end. Staff are very friendly & engaged well with customers. Great cocktails & atmosphere. Definitely go back and enjoy food next time. If you want a laid back , smart bar experience I would recommend

Great cocktail place, good music, restaurant, hosts very friendly. Went with 2 of my guy mates and treated very well, very swanky and great night out. Will be even better once covid restrictions by government have been lifted.

An excellent night, amazing cocktails, and innovative food... Staff make the night so relaxed.. Thank you

Best service and food by far. First time coming to this Resturant and it’s been superb! Very nice and kind staff, definitely will be back.

Great place, good music, great cocktails. The bar team arw attentive and informative around the cocktail menu. Beer on tap is a bit different roo. I'll be back.

Lovely food, polite staff and perfect ambient. Thanks to that wonderful team. Will be back soon again!!!

Pleasantly surprised with this place. Very warming welcome inside and great music. The cocktails were lovelyyyy

Great ambiance and best sound around.music is just awesome!!! Drinks the same 😀

Very fancy bar and atmosphere for our little Waltham Abbey , which is uncommon as you can experience a fine dinning with a pre-cocktail menu that will blow your mind within the variety of refreshing drinks and mix drinks. Highly recommend as a full time customer for English people from all around London as well as any other tourist or just for a new commer.

Intimate and cozy place. Love it👍

Cosy place and lovely environment. Staff was fully ready and showed a professional approach. Perfect! ✌🏻✌🏻🍸💕

DONT EVEN BOTHER, got there and food came before drinks. Food came cold and over priced, waited 10 minutes for the manager before leaving. Never experienced such awful service at a restaurant in my life. PHOENIX DOWN THE ROAD IS CHEAPER AND MUCH BETTER.

Good food. Good service. Nice decor. With very attentive staff.
