The best restaurants serving British food in Epping Forest East of England

Attended a tasting menu for valentines evening g . Food was lovely and the staff where very attentive but unfortunately although private dining there was another couple who was there and was very very loud and completely controlled the whole evening. Couldn't hear what the staff was telling us about the courses and didn't even have a conversation with my partner as i couldn't hear him. Considering the cost I would have thought the staff could gave told them to keep the noise down as other people in the joining resturant also mentioned the noise as this was also our 41st wedding g anniversary it totally spoil our evening I know it wasn't the resturant fault but I think the manager should have step in. Another couple who was there also didn't enjoy the experience either because of the same problem

Popped in whilst on a central line pub crawl and found this hidden gem! Coffee and beers available and their menu looked delicious but we didn’t eat

Ah, qué noche, en nuestros amigos fiesta de cumpleaños. Antiguo auténticos lugar campo de golf, una buena opción y servicio de bar. Servicio de catering era buena, con un buffet de primera calidad "estándar", y agradable bar. Huevos escoceses para morirse. Sería un buen lugar para visitar sin tener que jugar al golf, el menú de comida muy buena pinta.

Steve arranged my nieces 40th birthday. Venue was just brilliant for a party. Steve and the bar girls were so lovely. The grazing table was a big hit and the cocktails were the best. Would highly recommend this venue xx

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

A great restaurant it was just right ,great food ,staff were great always helpful can't fault it , definitely worth a visit ,we shall be going again soon

Gaynes Park is my favourite barn wedding venue in Essex! Quite the statement, I know, but it is simply amazing! I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing many beautiful weddings at Gaynes Park, and every time it blows me away just how picturesque it is, no matter the season. I truly believe it is the most personal and inviting place where you feel like the venue is yours to make unique! Couples can make the most of the stunning surroundings, while their guests enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space to mingle. As a venue, Gaynes Park is completely accommodating, offering beautiful preparation areas, a lovely outdoor ceremony space, a timeless Orangery for the ceremony, and the barn for the wedding breakfast and party. From a photography perspective, it doesn’t get more beautiful than this. Whether it’s the iconic gardens, the picturesque Orangery, or the scenic countryside views, every detail adds charm! The team here are so lovely, and I am always super excited to return. Kindest regards, Sam Rundle Photography

Best pub in the south of England. Great night on St. Patrick’s night. Great music, great atmosphere. Really good Sunday roast too. Ellie is a great host. Worth coming from Seattle to visit.

Great little cafe. Need I say more

My friends & I went here after browsing the local antiques shops. What a wonderful little place. It was quite busy but were seated fairly quickly. We all chose toasted sandwiches from their extensive menu. Between us we had chicken, cheese & ham melts, Deluxe BLT & a turkey, bacon & stuffing toasties, with coleslaw & salad on the side. We could not believe the size of the portions when they arrived. They were stuffed full of fillings, with some of the best coleslaw we have ever tasted. We all struggled to finish them they were such generous portions. The prices were so very reasonable, as we only paid £6.30 each. We all agreed it was one of the best lunches we had ever had. The staff were lovely & friendly too. We loved it so much we returned there for lunch 2 days later, where we had the most fabulously delicious & large burgers. 10 out of 10 both times. We promised to give favourable reviews as we could not fault it.

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.

went to my favourite eating place in Waltham Abbey for my 75th Birthday Bash. 12 of us ate mains and desserts. They have alcoholic drinks as well as shakes, coffees and teas, Smoothies and tinned drinks, also ice cream. We had a wonderful time, good food, good service and good friends - what more could you want?

We popped into 8 Rocks for breakfast after a Parkrun. We are pleased we did. The place was clean, staff clearing tables quickly after customers had left and were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing or making us feel rushed. The menu was expansive - we had eggs royale and a salt beef bagel - both of which were lovely. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Had a lovely Sunday Roast here today to celebrate Mother's Day, It was our first visit to this traditional local pub and we wouldn't hesitate to return. We had a delicious meal and were made to feel very welcome by the landlady Karen and barmaid Emily. We will definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends.

Quite simply the best full english breakfast in the area. Nothing in Epping, Ongar or the surrounding area comes close. Well priced, friendly service and a wonderful fry up. The end.
