A Truly Unforgettable Experience at The Merry Fiddlers! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟If you're considering booking at The Merry Fiddlers, don’t hesitate—just go for it! We recently hosted a deeply meaningful event there for Mum’s Life Celebration, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.Ellie and her sister were absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, their attention to detail and warm, welcoming nature made all the difference. The rooms were beautifully set up, and the decorations were simply stunning—every corner radiated care and thoughtfulness. Ellie went above and beyond, not only managing all the administrative tasks flawlessly but also taking care of little things, like keeping the ice in Mums token White WIne glass topped up with ice to returning our vases to the florist. It’s these personal touches that elevated the day to perfection. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the amazing food, the wonderful team, and the incredible atmosphere. Ellie even stepped in to help Pablo and our mariachi band, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The level of dedication and care they showed us was truly outstanding—it felt like they were part of the family.The day was everything we hoped for and more, making Mum proud in every way. I can't thank the team enough for creating such a memorable experience. I’ll be recommending The Merry Fiddlers to everyone I know (including my celeb pals!) because they truly deserve all the praise. If you’re looking for a five-star service in a charming, welcoming venue, this is the place. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰 With love, Stevie 💖

Sunday lunch served by the most attentive and friendly staff you could ever imagine. Food was really great and the best cauliflower cheese I have ever tasted and I’ve eaten a lot of cauliflower cheese in my life. Don’t even hesitate to add it as a side dish. It’s divine.

Such a pretty quaint pub in Fiddlers Hamlet Epping. Was a bit apprehensive as was told it food wasn’t great, but I’m a real fussy foodie and have to beg to differ as thought the food was absolutely delicious. Service was pleasant too. I would say it was very quiet for a Saturday night. But maybe people are scaling back in the run up to Xmas. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The apple and cinnamon sponge cake was a big big winner. Would definitely go back as have heard they do a great Sunday roast and their burgers are said to be fab too.

Very surly bar staff who seem to look like they were somewhere else. Good menu shows prices without service charge. When mentioning this on delivery was told in a gruff manner it's added automatically. Thought this was law! On mentioning this and others addressed to venue on their website this was ignored. I would in turn suggest you ignore this pub who seem to ignore customer service! There's places out there who appreciate your custom.

I had a Buy a Gift voucher that I booked to use at this establishment...for last week 23/8/24...my voucher was valid until today 28/8/24, I followed instructions on the voucher exactly, and yet when I spoke, and in emails between us they just kept saying that my voucher had been already booked, to which I replied YES...booked with YOU for today, as per instructions on the Voucher. They were, I felt, extremely rude and unhelpful, my friend and I went somewhere else to eat, as we decided we would not want to eat there with the attitude we had received on the phone. It seems my Voucher is now invalid, and I will be reporting to Buy a Gift, as I believe The "Fiddlers" could have cashed in my voucher, despite the the fact we never set foot in the door 😡

Dear Ellie Thank you and your team so very very much for making my birthday party on Saturday 29th June one I will always remember. I did not stop smiling all day. I had the best time ever it was a fantastic day and I could not have wished that it went any better thanks to you and your wonderful team. Johnny was a delightful young man and could not if he had tried been any more helpful and hardworking. What a star in the making. Lovely young man. The food, venue, drinks, service, atmosphere and staff were amazing. The kids play area was an added bonus they had the best time which meant so did the parents. You and your team are all certainly a credit to the Merry Fiddlers pub. Roy should be very proud of you all. I will be recommending Merry Fiddlers to everyone. Thanks again for making my birthday so special. Very best wishes Suzanne xx

We enjoyed an afternoon tea with lovely scones, cakes and sandwiches. We were given 4 different sandwiches consisting of salmon, ham, tomato and cheese and cucumber plus scones with cream and jam, and a selection of mini cakes with cheesecake, cupcakes, tiramisu, tart and brownie plus coffee/tea and lovely champagne. I think some of the cakes could have been a little bit better and they lacked the flavour but overall it was great.

We were disappointed with our lunch at The Merry Fiddlers. Firstly the decor is so confusing, nothing marries together. It’s mock shabby chic with old country pub? Very sticky tables in bar area. Menus were given however burger menu was not. We asked and were given it. The food was ok but prices were high. Service wasn’t great if I’m honest. Service charge was added to bill, really? Won’t be returning.

This was a great afternoon tea in a charming pub. The afternoon tea was all fresh, the scones were still warm and tasted amazing. Flavour wise, the sandwiches and cakes were very good. Dog friendly, we even got to meet one of the staff's cute dog that has his own bar stool! I would happily eat here again, the staff made us feel very welcome.

We went to this pub during the week for dinner at 6.30pm When we arrived the restaurant was completely empty. We should have taken this as a sign but didn't and sat down to order. I told the waitress that I had a garlic intolerance and she noted this. We both ordered the king prawns to start, one with garlic, one without, starter portions were £14. When it came there was 3 butterfly prawns not very large. Tasted okay but really not worth £14 portion. We ordered the mains before the starters, we both ordered cod. The waitress waited until the starter plates were cleared then came to say they only had one portion of cod. I bit concerning considering how empty the restaurant was. I ordered the trio of lamb, she came back 10 minutes later to say as I have a garlic intolerance, two parts of the lamb were already made and may have garlic in, another concern as when you are paying £25 for a meal you would expect it to be cooked fresh. She said I could have the lamb 'best ends' by itself which I agreed to. The lamb came up as 4 tiny lamp chops!!! The lamb chops were so fatty and by the time I cut all the fat off there was hardly nothing left. We had had enough by this time and asked for the bill and was astonished to see the bill was £139. We had a bottle of wine plus one beer plus a glass of wine. To add insult to injury she didn't reduce the cost for the lamb, not serving the trio but only one part, the chops, she actually added £2 to that meal making it £27. When I questioned this she said oh yes and took the £2 off. My husband also said the cod was very dry, 0vercooked and tasteless. Possibly left there whilst waiting for my lamb. Who knows? There is no way this restaurant/pub can charge this sort of money for the experience we had. No wonder the restaurant was empty on a Wednesday evening. The food looks nothing like the pictures they post on social media. We will not return and you take a risk of a very large bill for a very poor experience if you go.

The manager is such a rude person, I ordered a roast dinner not on a Sunday which was showing available on just eat, 35 minutes later I get a rude phone call to say they can’t do it as it’s not Sunday, I said ok no worries please refund, she then sarcastically said have a brilliant weekends and hung the phone up. Don’t advertise roast dinners on just eat if they are not available unless it is Sunday! Will never use these again!

Sorry to say it's not worth visiting here for afternoon tea! Having booked this three months prior, I was hoping we would be seated in the main room, but we were in the bar. The best thing about the experience was the cute dog with three legs on a chair by the toilets. However, the food, by normal standards, was not good. The sandwiches were hard and poorly filled, the pastries and cheesecake were undercooked and overly sweetened, and by far the most disappointing was the clotted cream for the flat, small scone, which I'm not convinced was cream at all and may have been sour, miniscule butter. Also, very strangely, a staff member came and sat at the table next to us to work on their computer while facing us. We were a family of six celebrating a birthday. Yes, we should have complained, but we all kept our disappointment to ourselves until we left so as not to upset me since it was my birthday. There was a lot leftover simply because it was quite inedible. By the way, I picked up the bill, as I couldn't let my relatives pay for this. The service was very slow but friendly, and they didn't bring a menu or a tea selection over.

Merry fiddlers is a quaint pub, but needs a makeover, the outside looks a mess, the entrance and the path from the car park wasn’t great, as I use crutches it was very uneven and not great to walk on. Inside we were shown to our table, decor was ok Sandwich’s were nice but set menu no choice, the One scone each was ok but warmed and pre cut so was drying out a bit, there was one very very small pot of non descript jam and the same size of cream which certainly wasn’t clotted, so it was really enough for one scone definitely not two The cakes were 1 inch squares of cut off ends of larger cakes. The nicest things were the tasty strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, which were scattered around. We asked for another pot of tea, which we were told that it was only 1 pot per voucher and we had to pay for a second, we were very surprised, but still wanted as we still had cakes left we needed tea with. Having to pay for the extra tea only meant the waitress didn’t get a tip I wonder that if we had paid full price would we have had better cakes etc, on the site it does show macaroons and bigger cakes.

The four of us really enjoyed our Sunday lunch here. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was great. It's not the largest of pubs, so seating can be a little compact, but it's a pleasant space and atmosphere nonetheless. The only thing I would fault was baby changing facilities and toilets. Toilets were a little small and not very clean, and I had to occupy the ladies' toilet to change my baby on the edge of a large sink, which isn't ideal. Food was great, I'd definitely recommend!

Food was very good, but we had a very long wait between courses. Nice white table cloths and attentive staff. This used to be a proper English drinking pub and many years ago we always met on a Sunday morning here. It used to be an attractive, well kept and attractive pub . No longer! Needs a complete make-over outside, re-decoration, a proper tidy! Looks dreadful and not appealing at all when you arrive. Shame.

Nice setting, friendly staff. Afternoon tea itself could be better: Sandwiches OK but chunky, limited flavours, I wouldn't recommend cucumber and butter as an option in wholemeal bread. Better to go with something like egg and cress. Scones small, way too little jam of low quality and insufficient cream. A tiny pot like the Tiptree jam pot size is not sufficient for two people. Scones with sultanas would be better. The scones were precut and part of the problem is that some of the scones were disintegrating as a result. The petit fours and macaroons - in we emailed to say we have nut allergies thus the macaroons not a sensible choice to include as they are made with almond flour. The petit is four were clearly cakes cut to small so falling apart, low quality. Inclusion of fruit: strawberries, blueberries and raspberries was nice. Overall nice location, nice staff but poor execution of the afternoon tea sadly. No offer of refreshed pot of tea, extra milk etc.

We were looked after by young Jonny who went out of his way to give us a memorable time, so friendly and attentive, he really made the experience great.. The whole meal was a triumph and we will keep coming back there as it simply is a great experience. Try the dome experience, it's worth the £25 and if you're lucky to get Jonny as your server, you won't be disappointed.

First time visiting The Merry Fiddlers, for a family 60th lunch. I'm not local to the area, though most of the family are...what a fantastic place! From the moment we walked through the door, we received nothing but smiles and wonderful service from each and every one of the staff, and were made to feel very welcome throughout. There were 14 of us, and everyone had a great time. The food was sensational, and the portions extremely generous. As too, was the complimentary pre-starter. I personally didn't have a starter, but from what I saw, they all looked and tasted beautiful. For main, I had the roast lamb and was not disappointed. Great idea serving Best End instead of traditional slices from a joint. The meat was succulent and so full of flavour. Complimented by a huge selection of perfectly cooked vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding, again perfectly cooked. Roast potatoes to die for. Even though I'm not a "big eater", I tirelessly worked my way through the whole thing. Hands down, the best roast I've ever eaten. And I'm a fussy one, when it comes to roasts haha! I know that I speak for everyone in our party, that there was not a single grumble about anything that we ate or drank. A rarity these days, especially with my 84 year old Dad along for the ride. He loved it! Thank you, from all of us, for the perfect experience. You were all so very patient with us, nothing being too much trouble - it was definitely worth the 4 hour round trip, and I hope to return again soon. Wonderful staff, wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food!

Booked here for my daughters moving to Dubai party. From the beginning everyone was so helpful, took all the stress away from me. Everything on the night was fab, the surroundings, the staff, the food and the DJ. It’s so pretty there. We had an amazing night, thanks so much to Maddie, Jasper, Johnny, Jadella, Shona and Rebecca for everything. We got a grazing platter for 30 and it would have fed probably 50! It looked absolutely beautiful; I will put some pics up after. We also got some mini burgers, delicious 😋 can I also say they’re not actually that mini, they’re quite substantial! It was also brilliant that we had our own toilets; a bonus. The dj was fab, we had a mix of mums and dads and the rest early 20 year olds, he read the room so well and everyone had a great dance. I think he he DJs there a lot. Thanks so much to Ellie and the team, it really couldn’t have gone any better xx

We supposed to have a nice Christmas meal and happy time in this “amazing place” what turned to a hell for us.Christmas dinner been reserved months ago and seems to be lost somewhere, we been waiting for hour and when we lost passion for waiting and asked manager when we will get our table, they said they can’t leave a bar as it’s not enough staff , basically we had to fight to get a table on our Christmas Day and they gave our table to someone else so they gave us a separate tables so whole group of family cans celebrate Christmas together. After that they gave to one table some canapé but totally forgot about another table, after 2 hours of waiting for someone actually come and take our food orders we gave up and left.What a happy Christmas! Really? I’m speechless, I’ll never come back to this place, whatever food you serving, you ruin our Christmas Day!I'm not recommending this place for Christmas or any events as they can ruin your special day!

Booked a Dome at The Merry Fiddlers in September for our daughters 30th in December. All started well dome was nicely decorated and cozy warm, And Bluetooth speaker connected this was 7.30pm……orders were taken all from the set menu. 2 hours later and 4 rounds of drinks down we received our starters. According to the lovely young lady’s serving us the chef hadn’t turned up. When the main meals did eventually arrive (10.30) the Yorkshire puddings were still frozen (yes frozen not just cold) it was then the stand in manager was called, to be fair offered us a round of drinks which half of us declined as we had already been sat there drinking for 3 and a half hours. On leavening he offered a discounted bill and a half hearted apology but to be honest the shine was already missing from the whole evening. Such a shame because what started so well ended disappointing.

Went for afternoon tea, the tea was served quite some time before the food, tea was one small pot enough for 1 cup each,there was no sugar on the table, we hade to get it from other diners that where leaving, no napkins with the food fortunately we had some tissue with us. Our tea had gone cold before we were halfway through the food. No offer of another pot of tea was offered even if we had to pay for it, it would have been nice. The big problem was there was only one member of staff (that we saw) for the whole pub. We bought this afternoon tea through Groupon and would never go there again!

I didn't go. My wife's friend caught CoVID but restaurant allowed us to take away and we sat in the car scoffing, with the baby sleeping. Was a very nice cream tea. Scones were fab

Finally somewhere has got it right! 100% Amazing ""pub"" food, better than what you'd expect without trying to be something it's not. Prompt friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. Comfortable seats! Simple ingredients blended in such a way to make amazing dishes. After talking to one of the waiters, we discovered everything is cooked from scratch. one of the best meals ourt we've ever had."

If you are a large group, make a reservation. Kid friendly restaurant. Don't leave without The Merry Fiddler - it's worth it! They provide very good service.

My sister had chicken main which was as expected. They both had brownie dessert which was more fondant than rock hard dry brownie which is a good thing in my book. Well worth a visit.

They are also engaged in the community and raise money for charity, another reason to go back again and again. Love this pub, definitely in my top favourites. See you soon!

Really nice to find a in London that wasn't so packed out at 6pm that I couldn't get a table for one...though the feel for the place was really good too. Will definitely be coming back 😀

Kid friendly or trying their best to be kid friendly, the place is usually so busy, you just have to squeeze the buggy, etc in where ever there is a gap, and make sure your toddler drinks someone's drink.

Started with a couple of really good real ales - Directors I believe! Not had a pint that good for ages - most landlord have no idea about real ale and concentrate on selling chemicals! Progressed to multiple starters like we usually do and all were very good not greasy like some deep fried starters you get elsewhere - prawn satay was excellent! Its a nice little restaurant and the service was lovely! Then instead of sticking to lots of starters as normal we decided to go for main course - we shared a crab rice but I ordered the seafood curry which whilst a very nice seafood stew didnt seem to have any Thai spices or flavours in it and not really a curry - bit disappointing really - should have stuck to the starters!! Will probably go back and keep to the starters Reasonable price - difficult to get a phone signal to order a cab home!

Fantastic day at the Kings Head in Ongar. Staff were absolutely amazing and the food was incredible, lovely pizzas and roasts on a Sunday. We had our own private room due to the size of our booking but the staff were extremely accommodating making sure we always had everything we needed
