The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

Fantastic Birthday meal at the roydon Indian Table of 6 we live on the Marina and been here many times and always have take away oaky the service is always a little slow sometimes BUT the young chap FATIN who was serving us single handed !!! along side other diners Pouring drinks serving food He clearly had his hands full ? Where are all the staff guys ? This young man done such a fantastic job serving pints bringing out food taking orders HE NEEDS A PAY RISE!!! The food was incredible! Unfortunately we had two very miserable ungrateful old goats complaining we was too loud & they didn’t even pay for the full meal giving him a hard time? Wow!!! Unacceptable, sorry I think under the circumstances he done a great job

Best breakfast around. Love it here! Always seem to busy but efficient service. Menu choice is great. The food and drinks are lovely

Great food best chinese ive had in this area x

When to the wimpy in Loughton today 18.02.2024. 2 of us arrived at 10.05 only to find it still closed, not a problem as we was waiting for every one of our party to arrive. At 10.10 the front door opened and the staff member came out and was so rude she told us that we would have to wait until she was ready and to go somewhere else as there are plenty of other places to go. The rest of our party arrived 8 in total we explained that the wimpy staff member had been so rude so we went to a cafe in Debden and we all had a breakfast. If the wimpy can loose this amount of money good luck to them, as not one of us will go there again. Shame really as this reflects on all the staff. We are asked to support local shops so we will but not the wimpy in Loughton.

We did the afternoon tea with Cinderella. The service, food, atmosphere and certainly Cinderella, could not be faulted. The children's afternoon tea is the best we've ever been too. They really understood what the children would and could manage. The adult afternoon tea was huge! Thankfully they gave us goodie bags to take home. We don't live local, but the trip is certainly worth it! Look forward to visiting again.

Found here by accident.Driving back from Cambridge and decided to stop for late Sunday lunch.Excellent food lovely surprise to find such a beautiful property.Have a gazebo so also can cater for weddings/larger parties

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

Cosy little cafe with good food and friendly staff, the ideal place for a stop off during a bike ride. Traditional breakfast was lovely, will deffo return. Will be nice sitting on the terrace when the weather warms up again.

Was really disappointed with our visit today. Asked for tap water, non arrived. Ordered food and it took forever to come. Had to ark for salt. Another coffee delivered was spilt everywhere. Ordered extra pooched egg with toast, paid but it didn’t come. The place is dirty and needs a very good deep clean. Very expensive menu for for it has to offer. Unattentive staff. Wouldn’t bother to visit. Overall extremely disappointed

ten members of our family joined us and the both the food and service was good Prices were very reasonable too

OMG, amazing Indian food! So delicious—highly recommend trying it. We had a yummy aubergine dish and river fish dish (takeaway).

The course is absolutely fantastic and with the sun out our day couldn’t have been any better. The staff couldn’t have been any more helpful, what a great atmosphere, definitely coming back .

We booked a midweek evening meal for my friends birthday when we arrived we were told there was no starters, no burgers, no salad and no chicken plus limits on other meals!! We should have left at this point but instead we ordered our food. 3 dishes took over an hour to arrive and food was cold! I sent back the rack of lamb as it was cold and undercooked despite asking for medium well the lamb was red and bleeding. I was told food would be replaced but instead it was heated up and give back to me as the lamb still had the bits I had cut on the plate. They didn’t charge for the lamb but food choices were awful and preparation slow I felt sorry for the waitress I could see she was very embarrassed I am afraid I will not be returning

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my friend good value for money plenty of sandwiches and delicious freshly baked cake selection. Asked for clean plates for my cakes and was no problem at all. Pretty venue and great to have a local place that serves fresh cakes and sandwiches. Will definitely be back
