Wimpy in Epping Forest

Nice decor Slow service. Decent food. Hash browns are delish!

Amazing place, ambience was good too. Unfortunately it was let down by moody staff. I'm sure the whole team in there is great, but that particular individual ruined the experience.

The food was so cold, had to heat it up which completely changes the taste

Polite and friendly staff, and comfortable enough. It a good place for a quick breakfast muffin before a walk in Epping Forest. The muffin turned up quickly and well presented - it looked like one from a poster 🙂 Only downside was the alarm engineer tested the alarm with no warning, obviously not a daily occurrence though, I hope

Never arrived … ordered at 7.15pm and by 9.30pm still saying preparing even tho the shop was closed! Phoned the shop and they said no driver arrived to collect!! Waiting for a full refund! Order says arrived at 8.10pm and it most definitely did not!!!!

Really bad service , says it’s open until 9pm but the grills off at 8:35pm . Just drove back from Cornwall, kids hungry. Check your google opening times

The problem is the hygiene. Chefs don't wear any gloves touched everything and prepared the food. I actually asked the chef personally that we he isn't wearing any gloves and he said they wash their hands every 5 minutes. Well gloves would be also helpful.

Once I peeled back the sheen of nostalgia I wondered what I was doing here…. The place was clean and the service was good so no bad comments on the staff at all. It was like stepping back in time but surely you have to develop your menu and ingredients a bit. There are so many good burger places around these days… so this should prompt Wimpy to up their game. For the price paid it was very basic burger and chips. You get better at any kebab shop, only difference is it’s on a plate with cutlery. My wife did like her milkshake however so can see why people go for them. Amazed Wimpy are still in business.

They forgot my sauce which I paid £2 for … my hash browns were sooooo small and burnt … the chips were overcooked and so dry , don’t remember last time I had chips as bad as these… I used to order often from wimpy but this order has ruined my appetite and my lunch as well as such a waste of money …

The food quality is amazing which makes it the best burger place go to eat because it is fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly, quick, reliable and respectful people who knows what to do. The food is little pricey but worth going there to eat your burger that is so tasty that you will go there again and again. They will leave you with the first best impression that you will remember it for life. I have been there for my burger , pancakes and milkshakes which was so good that I enjoyed every moment of it and the best part is they serve it with a smile. The place is retro, colourful, clean, tidy, bright but small because it is like that I stepped back in the 90s.

Order not delivered. Although the driver said it had. Would have been very hard as there wasn’t a number to deliver it to. Phoned the wimpy but they couldn’t care less. As long as they have the money. Will not be ordering from them again.

Burger tasted like a beef flavoured sponge in a dry and disintegrating bun. Interesting and costly experience that I do not recommend and will not repeat.

The food taste great and service was pretty good and also friendly and fine.

It's Wimpy, so it's not fine dining, but I'm basing the rating on like-for-like with other burger restaurants. It's great for nostalgia value, not to mention the novelty of real cutlery, crockery, and table service. The food was tasty, hot, and plentiful, and a proper pot of tea to finish up. The prices are fair and the menu has some unique items. Every bit as good as I remember - we need more Wimpy restaurants!

My recent visit to the Wimpy unveiled an unexpected gem: an ingenious solution for enjoying a hamburger with a smaller mouth. Facing the challenge of tackling a generously sized hamburger with a less-than-ample mouth, I was initially unsure of how to proceed. Rather than resigning myself to a messy, inelegant feast, I discovered a method that allowed me to savour every bite with grace and ease. The secret lies on a clever separation of the bun — one containing the succulent meat and the other housing the crisp salad — I found myself able to enjoy the full spectrum of flavours without compromising on taste or satisfaction. This simple yet brilliant technique ensured that every mouthful was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, allowing me to fully appreciate the culinary craftsmanship that Wimpy is renowned for. In addition to this innovative approach to eating a hamburger, Wimpy's commitment to quality and service was evident in every aspect of my experience. From the friendly staff to the inviting ambience, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable and enjoyable visit. In conclusion, my experience at Wimpy was nothing short of exceptional.

Nice place for a,quick bite to eat

Comfort food to bring back memories. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great service and really friendly staff.food is amazing.

I have never tasted anything so bad in my entire life, the most basic burger ever for 10£…a joke

Knickerbocker Glory no longer available. GREAT BURGERS

One of the only wimpy left in London really enjoyed the food

I highly recommend it !!!Very good food,very good presentation,friendly,smiling and helpfull staff.

Wimpy is my happy place and this one is great. Very comfortable, lovely staff and great food.

Has this Wimpy got new owners? The food was appalling. Also noticed it was very empty which is never a good sign at lunchtimes. What a shame.

My other half was so excited to find a wimpy as he hasn't seen one since he was a child. He had a burger and thought it was just ok . I think he expected it to be like he remembers, in the olden days 🤣 but was disappointed with how sloppy it was and half way through it started to fall apart. My son enjoyed the chicken burger. I could have had a beyond meat vegan burger but I didn't fancy it, especially as I couldn't have chips because they were not vegan. I couldn't eat a burger without chips 🤣

Nice atmosphere, quality food, decent prices for some items

Wimpy is so much nicer than the other companies that do burgers The big ones. Won’t name for branding issues But wimpy is simply the best

So lovely to visit the Wimpy. As any 80s child will know we all loved The Wimpy and Mr Wimpy. This character has long since gone but it’s still love to know that there are still some Wimpys about. The service was friendly. They do the best milkshakes and the seating is comfy.

Terrible. Had a take away. They did not follow instructions and they did not add the special sauce to the burger. It was bone dry. Called them and was basically told I was a liar and they had followed the instructions. So dry tasted like eating a flip flop. Love Wimpy but the Loughton branch is awful. Overpriced for what you get.

Lovely retro decor, classic menu, what could be better.

Excellent food, well prepared and served. Attentative staff. Mc Donald's? No thanks. Excellent tea/coffee in a proper cup. Real plates. Not rushed or hurried along. No waste product to dispose of. Better, greener, tastier, civilised.

Had my first Wimpy on Monday it was very good👍🏻

Popped in with my 2 kids to get ice cream JESS was very helpfull and showed me that it worked out better to order 2 adults as they are BOGOF, Ice creams and doughnut where absolutely delicious, Will definitely be returning Thank you

These are coming quite rare, considering the other high street burger establishments you have, fair play to wimpy well done

Haven’t had a wimpy in ages, it didn’t disappoint. I had the quarter pounder with cheese chips and a Pepsi. The service was fantastic, the restaurant is really clean and well looked after. Will visit again soon

Clean comfortable very attentive

Was taking a trip down memory lane but did not live up to our memories. Food was served up hot and lovely but just not as we remembered.

Love the Loughton Wimpy. They have the best quorn burger and delicious sweet potato fries. Always comes out piping hot and fresh and always good value.

Love the milkshake and the service was very friendly.

Burgers are always cooked just right. Kids love it

This was SO well organised! Must be the most efficient restaurant in the chain. Great staff, and everything so clean. Last went to a Wimpy 58 years ago!

Well done best wimpy I've been to food tasty service excellent

Always great staff .lovely food .pop in to have lunch or breakfast when im in lakeside

Good service, food was great very pleasant visit.

If you're my age, it's worth it... I didn't have one for 17yrs until the other day. No change.. I think it's the onions and Ketchup. Wallop.

I ordered Uber eats it came on time but the food was disgusting I had a hair in my burger and the chips was cold and taste like rubber.

Very nice food and clean only problem was a little expensive

Friendly staff, fab customer service

I just the wimpy so pls some of them r still open it brings it back to me years ago

Both me and my partner had stomach problems within 45 minutes after eating at Wimpy Loughton yesterday

Not the wimpy I remember from years gone by very processed rubbery burgers also overpriced for what your getting,it's a no from me

Oh my gosh, I've not had a Wimpy for years. It tasted as good as I remember, took me back to being a kid. I had the Original quarter pounder with cheese chips and chocolate milkshake... to die for! Pricey but tasty and even bought a bottle of their 'special' sauce 😋

A good one of the remaining few Wimpy Bars!

Family friendly. Food made to order. Friendly and welcoming service. Definitely recommended.

Great place to eat quality food Great service Polite staff

Great food and service as usual.

A very good nearby Wimpy. Not many left around locally anymore,food is nice burgers are much better than other well known fast food chains. Staff are attentive and helpful...

The wimpy In Loughton The staff there are fantastic Really helped us when my friends They Really have patience and really do explain About the menu. I'm a very helpful Me my friends Enjoyed on Mel And can't wait to go back again Also wimpy thank you to having us they

It's OK there's plenty on the menu, I'm sure the quarter pounder has changed off the years.

Nice food nice people was great

haven't been here in years untill today and the food is still very enjoyable 😋

Excellent. Nothing to fault at all. The food, restaurant, staff and service were all perfect. Thanks very much.

I didn't know there were any left. Many Wimpy Bar memories from my teenage years.

Nice food wimpy takes me back to when I was a kid. Always loved wimpy b4 macdonald's.

Good food and not normally too busy. Staff very friendly too

Very friendly, courteous staff. Great for a quick family meal or takeaway. Tidy and clean. Can recommend.

I had always walked past this place for 20 years+ then a few months ago I ordered. Then again last weekend. I can safely say that on both occasions, the burgers were pretty terrible. They had a horrible, rubbery overcooked feel and they tasted of almost nothing except old grease. There's a reason you don't see these places much, especially when you consider the competition *ahem* Five Guys... I gave you 2 chances, Never again. Oh, and they are wildly overpriced, especially if to take away, since they can't use "the standard of service" as an excuse to sell sub-par school canteen food.

Great food and great service. This always delivers!

Absolutely fantastic, the girls were very attentive, lovely warm atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just love Wimpy is still around and that everything is always so fresh here. Bit difficult to park, so don't come as often as I'd like, but my waistline is probably thankful for that!

Didn't go in only went past it.

Classic and Timeless! Been Wimpying since 1970!

A very pleasant piece of nostalgia, not having been here for 40 years. Menu has been expanded but still as good. Grandchildren like it too

Delicious food and great service!

Worst experience , chicken sandwich, chicken was under cooked , hard , red blood in the middle , gave me worst food poisoning I have ever had , unfortunately I through it in the bin , wished I left it to report them

Not had a Wimpy for a while so this was lovely, can't beat a proper burger and milkshake

Hadn't been in a wimpy for decades the loughton branch I attended it was clean the quarterpounder picture showed it with fries but once again your charged extra cola drink nearly £3 staff looked unhappy expensive

There are working beautiful people

Always my favourite growing up. This one is genuinely superb. All the classics with some newbies too. Highly recommended.

Always get a good wimpy in there freshly cooked...

Far to expensive people stick with mcdonalds

To wimpy at Forest Road Loughton on my behalf and my friends I want to say thank you for your great service special your staff how they looked after us yesterday day and the food was fantastic brilliant service I personally recommend people to go go to wimpy your burgers and chips are fantastic and your puddings I haven't chocolate brownie and ice cream my friend really had pancakes and ice cream and there were fantastic brilliant and I can't wait to go back to wimpy and I hope you've another century for you people as work so good also your star has such a happy face like I said you looked after so good

Friendly staff, and food was nice.

More nostalgic for me but still a good Burger if not a little over priced by today's standards.

I had fond memories of eating at Wimpy as a child. Bone China with real cutlery so I could eat my burger like a dignified British person…. Roll on thirty years later and all that has gone out the window. Today’s fast paced lifestyle has completely eradicated anything that I remember, I was hoping that the taste of the food would evoke some sort of inner childhood memories ratatouille style. Alas, my order took a parsec short of an eon, the burger was bland and my server may have cracked her face if she ever smiled. In short….. leave your memories in that dank sweet spot in your mind.

Bad service an even I said my order several times they still got it wrong

If you're planning a dinner at home and rely on Wimpy, you better have a backup plan! Order placed at 17:30 via UberEats with delivery scheduled for 20:30-21:00 I received a notification from UberEats that my order was cancelled at 20:53. Very unprofessional! As this was my first experience with this fast food restaurant I think it will be my last Extremely disappointed :(

Tastes just like wimpy in South Africa! Enjoyed it.

Loyal wimpy customer here lovely branch of wimpy in loughton, clean and tidy. I always go there because they always provide great food and excellent service. Watch out for hot and cold manageress because sometimes she will say hi and sometimes she wont reply :( Anyways I will always be visiting to support my local wimpy branch.

Lovely food, lovely and clean, covid friendly too.

Very clean and social distancing was in place. The food is always first class here.

Food was not good salty plus it taisted funny

Very disappointing that they were not involved in the Eat out to Help out scheme and was also quite disappointed with the food, however the staff were nice

Food was great but couldn't make milkshakes

Nice staff and well organised for covid prevention

Had a retro date night with my partner there. And the menu hasn't changed one bit! Some may say this is bad, but it brought back old memories of when I went as a teen! Staff are amazing and really helpful. In fact so helpful there was an elderly lady who lost her bus pass and they went to the shops she went to to retrieve them. I cannot fault the food or the staff there.

Amazing customer service and the food ia fantastic! Got served within minutes and the amenities are clean.

Wimpy wimpy wimpy. It used to be a gastronomical expedition into the flavours of ground up cow between bread. Nowadays... it's more of a study into how things used to be. I mean its OK, acceptable at best...it's tasty enough. But you're not gonna be coming here if you want an amazing burger. Prices are little bit much eh? For an average burger it should cost a little less, I've had better and cheaper from burger vans (big up burger vans). Staff were friendly so that's good, one even smiled, give her a pay rise.

Is it me or do Wimpy burgers taste more greasy these days than the past? Had a burger recently and it tasted not so nice. Might of been the processed cheese of course but I'm pretty certain that it was the meat itself that tasted like it had a higher fat content.

Wimpy on Deliveroo, Yaaasss! . . . Ordered twice in last few weeks, always arrives on time and totally delicious!👍
