The best restaurants in Waltham Abbey High Beach Epping Forest East of England

The food is always excellent here and you never leave hungry. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this pub for dining or just drinks.

Good food, but cash only and no toilets. Paul

What a lunch, giant "doorstop" sized sandwich that I will definitely going back for!!!! And at such a reasonable price served but really friendly staff.

After a previous bad experience here, it was nice to return and get excellent service and delicious food

As a newly disabled person, I first stayed here a week ago, and Nicola at the reception went above and beyond to assist me. Traveling alone with my new limitations was a little daunting, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. To say that Nicola put me at ease would be an understatement! When I needed a room again this week, I knew exactly where to go, and it felt like coming home. I was thrilled to see that Nicola was on duty once more, and, as expected, she didn’t disappoint! Words can’t express how truly grateful I am to her. She was incredibly helpful without overstepping my boundaries, which is rare. Too often, well-intentioned people try to take control—pushing my wheelchair without asking—but Nicola just seemed to understand. She respected my independence, even though it takes me a bit longer to get things done as I adjust. Her lighthearted banter made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Nicola—you are one in a million! You made the whole experience a pleasure!

Only had a drink at the bar...but we did order some chunky chips. that were luke warm. and they had run out of mayo.......did notice mouldy lemons in a vase on the bar ..i did mention it to the bar staff but nobody removed them. not how i remember this place to be..shame..

just got back from lunch today 13th October, i must say that it was the worse meal we have had there. The potatoes were hard as were the parsnips, my husband's lamb was mostly fat and the cauliflower cheese was grey in colour and looked like it was made several days ago. The staff seemed more interested in taking together rather than coming up to ask if everything was alright, we had to go to the bar to get drinks as no one came up to the table, it wasn"t as if it was busy. Unfortunately the crumble we had hardly had any crumble on it and what there was was so hard you could not eat it in fear of breaking a tooth. When eventually the girl came to the table to take our plates i told her we were disappointed in the lack of crumble and how hard it was, she just laughed. We have been coming here for years and know the governor quite well, although he was not there today, I am sure he would be disappointed in this review but I felt very strongly that the lack of service and the quality of food was very poor. It Was not cheap we paid £79.00 for the two of us, sorry but won,t be coming back any time soon.

great food and an excellent welcome and decor, felt really homely and warm. courtney was extremely attentive and friendly, a real gem. great meal.

I'f you have a dog,do not go to this pub.... it is meant to be dog friendly I was just totally humiliated in front of everyone because my dog took a wee. I cleaned it up and the whatever behind the bar was disgusting and rude and made it clear that my dog was not welcome

My family went to the cafe this morning i ordered 2 eggs 2 bacon fried tomatoes bubble snd hash brown my husband had a burger my son had porridge and my granddaughter had sausage and chips my eggs were hard and swimming in oil my bacon was undercooked so my husband had that the bubble was not nice the only thing i ate was hash brown they forgot my 2 slices of bread and butter so i had to go to the counter my husband’s burger was average and my son said his was not very nice i definitely won’t go back and neither will my family such a shame it used to be very good cafe but not anymore
