The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

A wonderful evening of Game foods. Great wines with each dish, Amanda has a great knowledge of wines. Each dish is so well presented and the tastes are fabulous. The staff's attention to detail and friendliness is perfect. This is a restaurant you should try.

Went for a drink here and decided to stay for dinner. Excellent food and friendly staff. More expensive than your normal Indian restaurant but the decor is beautiful and it’s in lovely surroundings, the views are amazing. We will be back.

Fabios is amazing. I was in the UK from the US for work and it quickly became my go to place for coffee and breakfast. If you are in Debden, I would recommend stopping.

A proper ‘greasy spoon’ cafe. Arrived to find it full of tradesmen having their breakfast (a good sign). This was for a catchup with an old friend. I went for a bacon roll whilst my friend had the No. 1 breakfast. Both were superb. Staff were friendly. We sat chatting for probably 35 minutes after finishing our food and drinks and no issues. Probably half the price of the Bakehouse down the road. Thoroughly recommend.

Popped in whilst on a central line pub crawl and found this hidden gem! Coffee and beers available and their menu looked delicious but we didn’t eat

Qué maravillosa noche para nuestra fiesta de cumpleaños recientes - enmarcada en un excepcional lugar de paneles de madera/habitación con vistas hacia el bosque desde el campo de golf (hoyo 19). Servicio de primera clase y catering top y todos estábamos de acuerdo en que era uno de los mejores partidos habían sido a cualquiera en los últimos años. Lugar y catering altamente recomendado para fiestas y eventos, y el menú de día parecía por encima del promedio para los golfistas. Excelente opción de bar y cerveza. Me pregunto si se puede comer allí y no ser un miembro? Sería bueno también!

Fabulous small restaurant with a few tables outside. Tasty burger and crispy chips at reasonable price. Check opening hour before getting there.

We had a table of 8 for my 70th Birthday celebrations and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. I was a little apprehensive but as soon as I met Katherine (Owner) prior to our booking i was immediately drawn to the place. In regard to the food everything I ask for came out onto the table the food was amazing it was so delicious. We chose a Meze starter followed by Salmon, Shish Chicken and Lamb Skewers with the most delicious salads and vegetables and flat breads to die for, we also had Gorgeous Pavlova and a very varied Cheese Board for dessert the presentation was lovely, I honestly think Katherine old mke a boiled egg look pretty. Our food was served by Peter who assisted Catherine and he makes a very good Waiter. There was nothing we could fault and we definitely will be returning hopefully in the not too distant future. Well Done Katherine and Peter

Great little shop for coffee, cakes, snacks and drinks oh and did I mention cakes and just in case I forgot to mention they do cakes, the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had, my personal favourite is the coffee and walnut.High Ongar is a beautiful quaint quiet little village well worth visiting and stopping at coffee post is a must.

Great restaurant, we didn't go for a while after it opened but so pleased we have now tried it. Wonderful service and food fron this Italian, the chef is from Sicily and has worked at some top London restaurants and you can tell by the quality of the food. Servie is also top quality. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

This cafe is as you walk into a Church of England church. There is a hall to the left, so have to walk through the coffee area at the front to get to this if you need to be in the hall for a class or meeting. so people clock you going in. There is a good choice of hot and cold drinks, and homemade cakes on the front counter. which are very tempting. guessing donated by locals. great place to go if you want one of Aunties cakes, or a slice of something. The hot chocolate is very tasty.

A birthday meal out with family was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The food was outstanding, service very friendly and attentive. One member of our group has an allergy was dealt with without any fuss or bother. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to all.

My wife and I have been visiting Gullotti Cafe a couple of times a week for about the last three months. We can honestly say that we have never been disappointed. My wife says that the Vanilla Milkshake is the best she has ever had. I am a coffee lover and have never been able to find a Cappucino in this country to rival those in Italy. Gullotti’s cappucino is the best I have ever had. This coupled with such a lovely clean and welcoming cafe and staff has made our visits such a pleasure.

Visited a few times now, always friendly & great selection of well-prepared food & drink. Can park my motorbike safely in view & can recommend wholeheartedly.

Wanted a light hot meal and the board outside said pasta was on offer. The otherwise lovely young waitress had to ask, as the menu didn't mention pasta at all. It also had 2 or3 spelling mistakes. Anyway - the pasta was delicious when it arrived. They also had non-dairy milk available for my coffee. Not local but would return if in the area again
