The best restaurants in High Ongar, Willingale and The Rodings Epping Forest East of England

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.

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.

Absolutely love this place. I have been lucky enough to go twice this month and each the time the staff and food were amazing. First time was with a group of around 15 and second time group of 8 and everyone really enjoyed their food and said they would go back. Family fun, fresh food.

None of the beers including Guinness was available - Something wrong with their system which couldn't be corrected while we were there. Most expensive soft drinks outside of London , almost £4:00 for a cordial and soda water.

Had a lovely Sunday Roast here today to celebrate Mother's Day, It was our first visit to this traditional local pub and we wouldn't hesitate to return. We had a delicious meal and were made to feel very welcome by the landlady Karen and barmaid Emily. We will definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends.

Our first visit to this very busy restaurant set in a lovely smal hamlet five minutes away to the main small town Chipping Ongar. The restaurant is set on two floors in this beautiful historic building. Staff friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The menu is extensive with reasonable pricing. All our food was very good with good presentation.

Top food with excellent service very reasonably priced......Will definitely return

We went for afternoon tea The food was delicious However when we arrived there was no one in reception We waited for five minutes then found our own way to the garden room We had booked this around 2 /3weeks ago only to be told we were not on there list However we thankfully were seated This was a present from our son and daughter in-law They got married here 2 years ago We found the venue itself very tired and run down It all needs a bit more of a sparkle Hubby went to the toilet There was no toilet paper Good job he didn't need any The pavement to the main door is very uneven I know there is a sign saying this But this needs updating asp Overall needs money spent on it The grounds look nice

Always good food and with good company it makes it a fabulous place to get together.

First time at Sunak Thai and the food was absolutely delicious me and mum both enjoyed all the staff were very friendly especially one waiter who was serving us didn’t catch his name very chatty welcoming and friendly defo be visiting again Thankyou
