The best restaurants in Theydon Bois Epping Forest East of England

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!

This is my third visit to Bonhomie since it changed from Belgique. I have to say that I was not particularly impressed with my previous two visits, having always ordered the avocado on toast. The first time it was served on white bread without having been given the option to chose another type of bread. Also, it was literally what it said in the tin i.e. a sliced avocado on a slice of white bread, no dressing. The second time I said that I would like to have it on brown bread please. Again, it came as a sliced avocado on a slice of bread. Both times it came with a poached egg and a minimum amount of garnish. Nothing to do with the nice avocado on toast served in other local cafés. For this reason, when my friend suggested Bonhomie today,  I said that I wasn't a fan. However, as it was convenient for it is local, we went. Our waiter was a young man, that couldn't understand my foreign accent, despite my having been in this country for 20 years, my partner being British and me being a professional person developing my profession in the area. I repeated my order of green tea, avocado on toast (I thought maybe third time lucky), no butter several times but he kept asking for my order time and time again, to the point of making me feel embarrassed. It has never happened to me anything like it before. The young man tried to excused himself saying that it wasn't my accent, that it had been a long day (it was 11am). When eventually the food came, it was the saddest thing I have ever been served in a café - a slice of bread (brown, thank goodness) with a mushy avocado on top, again no dressing and this time, no garnish and no egg. Due to the previous embarrasment, I decided not to complain anymore, my friend and I laughed and promised not to come back again on future occasions. When I arrived home, I told my partner what had happened  and he said that I should have complained, that it was not right that I was charged full price when my food was so below par and it was actually missing ingredients. I thought about going back on the following day to personally talk to the manager. Then I read the review when the owner said to a customer to go to McDonald's when the customer complained about the service (?), and I thought that I had already been sufficiently embarrassed in this establishment. Therefore, I wasn't going to risk to be told to go to McDonald's (or somewhere else). Not sure if McDonald's will be my choice next time, but it definitely won't be Bonhomie.

Lovely Turkish restaurant, this is our favourite one so far!! Food is amazing, service is really good!! I ordered grilled mushrooms and the salmon fillet. My boyfriend ordered crispy battered prawns and chicken shish. He loved it!! I tried a bit of his chicken, tastes so good!!!!! Rice is soft, the salad is flavoursome and the salmon is beautiful!! We are 100% coming back here!!

First time at this restaurant but will go back n recommend to others. Food was delicious. Service was good. Four of us booked lunch for 2pm on a Saturday. Would imagine it gets busy of an evening. Most comfortable dining chairs I've sat in at a restaurant for a long time

Indian Ocean is my favourite Indian restaurant. The food is outstanding and the service is immaculate. Sam and his co workers are the most accommodating waiters. We love Indian Ocean!!

Good food, great portions, nice people

The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food came out in good time and very well presented. The taste from my chicken wrap was incredible, and the chicken was soft & moist. I would absolutely recommend this place and would certainly be coming back again.

Great food, decor and atmosphere at this lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Would definitely visit again.

Fabulous fish and chips and very friendly staff

Extremely nice & comfortable pub restaurant. Staff were great, friendly & helpful. Menu was varied with a good choice of snacks and meals with a good selection of specials

The food is amazing in this pub. The menu so much choice. Hard not to order the lot. The staff so friendly Petra especially. She is an asset to the place. Her friendliness and service 10/10. The pub has such a cosy vibe, welcoming. Give it try☺️

Average Turkish cuisine, there are others that do it better. Feels a bit like a cafe rather than a restaurant. Service average, food okay.

The food , bread and cakes, that I have had on several occassions is very good. But its extremely expensive and more importantly the staff were/are so rude. I shall not be going again
