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

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

Had lunch here Great food lovely staff loads of parking space, not to far from town centre,nice countryside pub

I know I have put visited in. May 2022 but the last time I visited was back in 90s, & no later dates to put in. was visiting the area with my ex husband family & stop off at phillpotts, not sure if they still bake the scones on premises but they use to make the scones, & jam themselves back then The best cream tea I've ever tasted, shame they don't do a phillpotts in newcastle as I moved back to my hometown It was still owned by one of the phillpotts family back them, a remember a guy with dark hair beard & glasses , but I was in my mid 20s then in the 90s Recommend such a lovely place & I do recommend the cream teas 👌👌👌

Absolutely awful food , prawn cocktail starters had brown/frozen avocado, Sunday roast, where do I start 1.30pm no lamb, potatoes over cooked obviously kept warm too long, brocoli, parsnips under cooked rock hard, no cracking with pork and beef overcooked , only the yorkshire pudding was worth eating Will not return or recommend Shane staff were friendly and service was quite good Shame as pub is in great location and nice decor inside We live local not too far, haven't been in there for years due to poor food before, some things obviously don't change Go somewhere else save your money is my tip
