The best restaurants in Epping Lindsey and Thornwood Common Epping Forest East of England

Appalling service that spoilt an evening. Visited here as the venue for a summer ball for the friends of a school. Bar staff were shocking, rude and incompetent. Food was appalling and verging on inedible. Bar ran out of wine during our event and had a poor selection of other drinks with bar staff that didn’t even know the rudimentary facts about drinks they had. Avoid at all costs - will NEVER go back

Strange that whenever one of two people give this place 1*, all of a sudden a 5 star review appears. Not really a conspiracy theory but...... Visited on Saturday. No cocktails available, no sea food available, incredibly limited fish and chips and that's it. Totally indifferent manager who, when we walked out suggested dismissively that we should come back in a couple of weeks.... As if. The name of this place pays homage to a wonderful gentleman, pity the restaurant sinks as low as its possible to go. Service 0 starts Drink 0 stars Food impossible to say. We walked out as only 10% of the menu was available. Don't waste your time. There are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity that won't set you back as much and night even have food and drink available.

If I could give zero stars, I would, they were extremely rude, tutting his teeth at us and we will not be ordering from this restaurant again, extremely rude to their customers the receptionist even climbed over their bar offering a young lady out.
