The food is always excellent here and you never leave hungry. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this pub for dining or just drinks.

Another fantastic meal yesterday. I had the Tandoori Mackerel and once again I wasn't disappointed. As it's our local we do visit often. We'll worth a visit

A Charming Escape with Delicious Food and Friendly Service The food is simply outstanding—every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the steak and guinness pie and fish and chips, which was cooked to perfection with generous portions. The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring that you have everything you need and it shows in the quality of service. The pub itself is cosy and charming, with a lovely outdoor area that's perfect for enjoying a drink on a sunny day. It's also very family-friendly, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Overall, The Horseshoes is a delightful place to unwind with great food, great company, and a great atmosphere. I definitely recommend it and we will come back soon.

Best Sunday dinner I've had in ages. I had the small beef roast and it was very generous, really tasty with proper crispy roasties. We walked it all off afterwards in Warlies Park across the road. Very enjoyable afternoon and will definitely it a regular visit.

Stopped in after a walk with my mum and neice. They were fully booked out for an event but were able to give us a table for an hour which was great for a post-walk lunch. I ordered a couple of sides and the portions were very big. Chips were beautifully cooked and the halloumi fries were perfect. Kelly seemed to be on her own for most of the time we were there but did a great job, and really went out of her way to keep my 3 year old neice happy, including serving her an off menu cheesy pasta. Really appreciated the effort. Will definitely go back to sample more of the menu.

A very nice cozy pub. The service is very good. Food, well you definitely will not be hungry afterwards. For the price of the food you get alot for your money.. And you get a option on small, med and large dinner and the price accordingly.. Its definitely well worth a visited.. The small car park is on the opposite side of the road and is free.

The weather was very wet so we abandoned our walking plans to go and eat in this pub. I expect, that on a sunny dry day in summertime that the place is packed but there were only a handful of people there so getting a table was easy. It is a classic pub menu and the prices were very reasonable. The food we had was very tasty. Two diners across from us had ordered the pies which looked gigantic.

Great fresh food ,great service... The only thing I don't like is what most places do now is Add a service charge !! I always tip at least 10% ( old school ) if the food/service is that good but being forced with a service charge takes away the thanks to staff 😔 & you don't actually know if the service charge goes to the staff 🤔 & always makes you feel slightly awkward when paying the bill... Other than that this is a great place for Great food..

My partner and I were looking for somewhere to grab lunch in the afternoon on NYE. I found the Horseshoes on a Google search, so booked a table as it looked good. It's a cute little countryside-feel, cozy pub. Upon first looking at the menu (which has quite a lot of options), the prices seemed slightly higher than some other places in the area, but the waiting staff said that the portions come out large - they weren't wrong! Food was very good and excellent value for money. I had the sausage and mash, and a side of onion rings. My other half had the pork bellies and we shared a side of cream spinach. Was all great. Total bill came to £50 (including one alcoholic drink and a soft drink). Staff were attentive and friendly. Food came out fairly quickly.

Food and atmosphere was very good but let down by the service. When our plates were collected we were not asked if we would like a desert or coffee i stead we was presented with the bill and told to get out as they had other people waiting for the table.

Fantastic British Pub. I ate here for 3 nights during a business trip. The atmosphere - great 'local' vibe. Very chatty and inclusive clientele. Bar staff (Kelly) - a great genuine warm welcome. Remembers your drink from the night before. Great conversation, which is key for mental health as I work away a lot, and seldom get to 'talk' to people outside of work. Food - Amazing home cooked food, from hearty pies to seafood linguine. And I found out that the chef is only 19.

What a great surprise. Many, many years ago I stopped here but this is the first time I've eaten there. Staff were charming and helpful. Food was decent value but I've had better but you can't really get a bad plate of ham, egg and chips. Maybe I'm spoilt by having had the opportunity to eat at many fine dining places but it's a pub so good value for that and it was a great surprise to see so many customers on a Monday lunchtime so late in the year (November). Well worth a visit if you're in the area and in summertime there is a great view from the back of the pub over east London and The City. Unfortunately at this time of the year the garden isn't open but I know that fact is correct as I've gazed at that view from the church a few metres further up the hill.

Oh dear- I really wanted to like this restaurant but it was let down by slow service, clearly "warmed -up" dishes and (at least for me) a gloomy atmosphere. There was one waiter on duty, answering calls, serving food and sorting out the buffet; a charming young man but much too much for him to do. Epping is blessed with other Indian restaurants and nothing I've had today will encourage me to go back to Coriander. Sorry!
