The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

Great little shop for coffee, cakes, snacks and drinks oh and did I mention cakes and just in case I forgot to mention they do cakes, the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had, my personal favourite is the coffee and walnut.High Ongar is a beautiful quaint quiet little village well worth visiting and stopping at coffee post is a must.

Wanted a light hot meal and the board outside said pasta was on offer. The otherwise lovely young waitress had to ask, as the menu didn't mention pasta at all. It also had 2 or3 spelling mistakes. Anyway - the pasta was delicious when it arrived. They also had non-dairy milk available for my coffee. Not local but would return if in the area again

Great friendly cafe. Clean with good selection on menu. Perfect for a local pick me up and natter with friends. Tasty food and drink. Easy to get to.

Went in for an impromptu lunch on a Saturday afternoon as a party of 3 including an infant. Was seated immediately by a rather timid server. We weren’t offered any baby chair so I parked up our small pram and spent the rest of our experience juggling them on my lap (not great but fine). We ordered some robata options as well as the tempura prawns and the lunch option of the bao buns. The robata we ordered consisted of the chicken thigh and the wings. Both were absolutely delicious! If I had to be a bit picky I would have liked the wings with a little more char on them but they were delightful. Each had about 3 portions (cubes or wings) on a skewer. The tempura prawns was again amazing. The batter was light, airy and not greasy and I could have happily ordered another portion as we were unfortunately sharing. My companion had the bao buns on the lunch option which was 3 varieties. I did partake in a bite of chicken katsu which was nice enough but the chicken was not up to the same standard as the robata. I would recommend this place in a heart beat and unlike the bustle of Epping high street is a nice and serene little place with narrow seating but a simple atmosphere and more importantly tasty food at a reasonable price.

Small place with average food at above-average (London-level) prices. Front-of-house staff were excellent. There's a garden with potential and a nice view, but it's currently ( view) blocked by a tall fence.

Excellent family meal on Sunday. Fantastic

Hi I have seen you have temporarily closed the restaurant, I was wondering if selling the lease is somthing you might be interested in.

Friendly welcoming I visited with my friend. Excellent customer service. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. Very generous portions, would recommend this restaurant. It's good to note that the bread and dips e.g hummus come with the mains as well as the salad and rice. Baklava and Turkish tea complimented on the house. Thankyou we will be back

Wonderful service excellent food Delicacy provided some catering for mu grandmothers funeral. Nothing was to much trouble which made the whole process a little easier to deal with

Beautiful location, nice and quiet, super friendly, and the food is top notch for a very reasonable price!

Honestly the service, food and atmosphere was spot on. The service was friendly and efficient and they personalised each table. The roe buck it’s self is amazingly decorated mixing old and new with French style menu, my french onion soup was superb - don’t take it off!! Thank you

Small but very friendly Sunday visit, only holds about 16 to sit in, but quite a few people were coming in for take away, nice pies, good mash, and superb liquor, and the staff seemed very friendly, will definately return

Wow - dined last night, service was unbelievably good. Almost like they read your mind. Best food I’ve had in a long while - well worth the money and visit.

We had the pleasure of experiencing Cinnamon last night for the first time . Celebrating my mother’s birthday . From the minute we arrived until the minute we left, the service received was nothing short of 100% Couldn’t fault a thing !! It was just perfect !! Thank you for a wonderful first time experience . We will be back for sure .👍
