The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

Unfortunately received a hostile approach I am black. think twice before going if you are of a different culture. What you should of asked is what was the experience I had when I entered your pub but instead you still replied to my review with a hostile approach disappointing. My review still stands.

Good food. Nice people and in a lovely old pub

Unbelievable food fresh and hot too excited to order again

For some add reason, this particular restaurant never sends sauces with the order. Delivery is quick and food is obviously good but the lack is sauce and/or having to remember to personally try and get in touch with the restaurant (which is very difficult) to reminded them to do what’s required is so stupid. What’s the point of Nando’s if I’m not getting the main product! Sort it out ffs

A comfortable branch with plenty of seating, many near with mains sockets. A good place to relax before a walk in Epping Forest.

A group of us retired Corporate Bankers..all retired, meet every few months for a moan about the state of the country, or anything that takes our fancy at the time..always light heartedly! only two of us made it this time, but we wiil be back..for this is a traditional cozt pub..with excellnt menu and atmosphere: Prces..don't know how they do it and the portions! I had toasted brie on a salad bed..my friend, who lives in Waltham Cross and uses this pub for dining and had recommended, had a ginormous prawn cocktail..both excellent. Shouldnt have had the starter as he suggested the speciality..steak and kidney pie..cooked as it should of old, in a pie dish..enough meat and gravy for two pies, with a lovely flaky pastry top..chips and peas..delicious. I had ice cream fo a sweet, ..2 pints of lager and two glasses of lemonade as wr werr both driving..Top Knotch..Definately come again with friends..Many thanks

This pub has a great view and is perfect after a walk in the forest. The staff here accommodated our rather large, and sometimes demanding! group, perfect. Emma was fantastic at looking after us in a friendly, hard working way. In fact all the staff were brilliant. This is possibly one of the most Christmassy pubs I’ve ever been in. Food was good and our group had a perfect Sunday Xmas meal there. Definitely recommended.

It's not 18th century at all it was built in 16th century. Best pub in Essex . The landlady is a legend.

Amazing value delicious breakfast. Very helpful, efficient and polite staff Recommended

I added garlic dippers to my order instead of chicken strips by mistake which was my fault but then had called instantly once made the order to change it, I had to call 5 times before anyone answered, I was then told they couldn’t change it because they had already put it in the oven so I accepted this, once the order had arrived I realised they had got the order wrong & in actual fact had not even sent us garlic dippers at all so they could have changed them in the first place for chicken strips as I had ordered a deal bundle so would not have changed the cost, at this point I called the branch & was told they would now send chicken strips but was very rude & just hung up the phone, I then received a call 10 minutes later saying they now can’t send the chicken strips because it was not on my order, I then tried to explain it’s a deal on there website & they was also a option so it would not make a difference they became very argumentative & at this point felt they was just being awkward because they did not want to rectify there mistake, would not recommend using this branch especially don’t deal with them personally as are rude & hard to speak to, they could all take a class on customer service in my opinion being a business owner myself I would not have anyone of them work for my company

Came to this pub as it was recommended to us. staff made as welcome we all have roast dinners food was outstanding nice beef thank you

The Garden Centre itself is fantastic and I can't fault it! However, we've visited the cafe a couple of times now - the first visit with some of the younger staff was lovely, they were very polite and the service was fast! Today, I was greeted by an older woman whose tone and abruptness towards me was just downright rude to be honest. The whole issue was over needing a table number to order, after saying that there was no number on our table, she very bluntly said that all tables have numbers and that hot food orders need table numbers (which in itself is fair and makes sense) but I again emphasises that there definitely was no number on the table we sat at and pointed to the table we were at. She repeated her previous comment with more abruptness to which I then said "right, okay then". I then proceeded to gather my family and leave the cafe. I've been in customer service roles myself and there's days when I have been stressed and we've been busy but never have I ever spoken to a customer like that. Absolutely disgusting.

Lovely soft play plenty of parking

Had an average meal and got completely robbed. Went with a group of three and we all got £100 parking charge on our cars. Went at night when the signs were not marked properly and no staff mentioned the parking on entry. Ultimately this company got the bill paid plus an extra £100 per head on parking fees. I am happy to amend this review if they can make it right. If your reading this now you can assume the above never happened. Be careful of this place as you could leave like me.... Feeling scammed

Went for a Christmas meal with 10+ people in a private room. Great food and service
