The best restaurants serving British food in High Ongar, Willingale and The Rodings Epping Forest East of England

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.

We went for afternoon tea The food was delicious However when we arrived there was no one in reception We waited for five minutes then found our own way to the garden room We had booked this around 2 /3weeks ago only to be told we were not on there list However we thankfully were seated This was a present from our son and daughter in-law They got married here 2 years ago We found the venue itself very tired and run down It all needs a bit more of a sparkle Hubby went to the toilet There was no toilet paper Good job he didn't need any The pavement to the main door is very uneven I know there is a sign saying this But this needs updating asp Overall needs money spent on it The grounds look nice

Always good food and with good company it makes it a fabulous place to get together.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! Disgusting, dirty bedroom and shower room. No fire escape if had to get out of the tiny window.....gross bed linen and towels....asked to be moved but no other rooms available and no availability in nearby hotels. Paid £190 2 nights with breakfast
