The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

Cute little tea shop serving breakfast and lunch. Food was delicious and staff were super friendly. Glad we stopped by here on our road trip.

Friendly service. Food was ok. Quite an old fashioned place. I can’t say I’d return in a hurry but it was good value and the waitress and chef work very hard.

RestoBistro is Epping’s best kept secret, nestled at the southern end of the high street. The food is absolutely delicious, all homemade. An independent restaurant with extremely high standards. The chef and management put on various special themed nights which are always fantastic. I particularly like the Sunday Roasts which are the best for miles around.

Great F/C shop. Only thing that stops me giving 5 stars is that you cannot order a "large" Cod portion, but that is me just being "Piicky / Greedy" ? 😀

food is always 👌 very nice and always hot and taste delicious. my favourite Indian restaurant.

After a long overdue rerurn, we had a delicious, well served meal and my sister, up from Bournemouth who loved it here last time, paid the bill. What could be better? Well done Joshua and team, keep Epping happy !

I ordered on Deliveroo. I got chicken, Jollof rice, plantain with a sprite and to be totally honest it was disgusting. I’ve never tasted Jollof like that before in my entire life‼️definitely far from authentic. I was truly shocked. The chicken was okay Nothing special… the best part of it was the Sprite and the plantain

Went for 1st time last night. Lovely food. Clean. Will be back. Good start. Thanks.

Adults starter and mains were lovely today but mains could have been hotter and the gravy was so salty. Yorkshire puddings were also really overcooked and not edible for me. The drinks were lovely but I had to flag someone to ask for a second round of drinks quite some time after we had finished our mains. I also ordered the kids an ice cream at this point as they were getting ratty but we weren’t offered a dessert menu even when they came to clear our plates so we passed it up. The main let down was the kids meals. Why any establishment puts salt on children’s chips is beyond me. The tomato pasta is really below par…awful actually and the chicken breast was so charred it was dry and acrid to the taste so neither child would eat their food. I sent both back and ordered two fish and chips instead which was much better so I know what to avoid next time. There was also no pushback when I explained that both meals were just not very nice. The kids meals used to be so much better. Appreciating it was a busy Easter Sunday but we were disappointed today.

Very generous portions, reasonably priced and is dog friendly. Only let down was the overflowing loos.

Friendly family business. A good selection of food cakes . They do prefer cash, but card use over £5

Used to be a firm favourite as there's a playground and you can watch the small planes / helicopters taxiing and taking off. Great for kids. However, they've recently put their prices up a lot, to proper restaurant prices (Website prices are out of date, add about £3 on) Sadly the quality has remained at greasy spoon level and not increased to match. Also didn't give us part of our meals because they had run out, but didn't offer anything alternative, or money off, so we paid for things we never received. Barely an apology. Sadly probably will not be back. Maybe come for coffees and cake rather than proper lunch.

Real home style cooking. Food is served pipping hot. We had the reasonable lunch special 3 courses under £20 and it was excellent value. The staff are friendly and approachable and give you time between courses. There's a mixed customer base from couples, families, those having a drink after work. Good selection on the lunchtime special and reasonable wine list.

Food was great, and really appreciate the vegetarian menu, service was very supportive

Came back again 4th time in total. Fabulous service from the Waitresses & Barbara recognised me from the last visit, now that is special. I had the three meat triple this time & always have Horseradish, this time it blew my head off but I absolutely love it and would repeat it weekly if I could
