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

Always have a very pleasant experience when visiting our local miller and Carter. Last night we were served by Corinne who was so lovely and friendly, checked up on us and gave us amazing service. Staff here are run off their feet at busy times but Corinne doesn’t let any table be forgotten! Never had any issues with the food, always served hot and steak always cooked exactly how we ask. Tables (and the floor) are always clean

Very disappointed. Have been going there for years but not just recently. There were no menues on the tables. We had to stand and read from a blackboard. Not very satisfactory for people who find it hard to walk. Luckily not many people were there or you would need to stand over someone’s table to be able to read it. The wine we ordered was not available and the two items we wanted on the menu were not available including cream. The fish pie was poor with just white fish and a small amount of salmon and no other fish. The mashed potato was very salty. The sticky toffee pudding was the strangest I have seen and was dry and heavy. The spotted dick had been over cooked in the microwave and was burnt and solid on the base, so was inedible. This was pointed out but no reduction was offered. We will not be returning. It is nothing like it used to be.

What a lovely little bakery. We popped in on our way past and was pleasantly surprised. We picked up some lunch and snacks for the kids. So much to choose from and all freshly baked on site. Will definitely be visiting again.

Beautiful place with such lovely surroundings. I was expecting great things after friends telling me how lovely it is here. We went on a Sunday and ordered the roast beef which was exceptional. Sadly when ordering I asked if the potatoes had garlic on them and was told no. Unfortunately they did and I was put off the rest of the dinner due to this. I was offered new potatoes or extra veg as an alternative but the damage had already been done. I won't be rushing to return due to this and would advise people with severe allergies to be careful. Such a shame. Great atmosphere, tastefully decorated

The food here is great! Good, varied menu and efficient, friendly service. We have been here several times and have never been unhappy.

Ignorant and rude lady in the restaurant not helpful don’t know how she’s got a job in a restaurant dealing with people I’ve never know or tried to deal with someone so ignorant and rude absolutely disgusting

Booked for a Sunday lunch with the family. Very impressed. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were warm welcoming. Couldn’t think of a better Sunday roast in the Epping/ Chingford area. Highly recommended!

Always a pleasure being served by Sami with her natural zesty character! Always makes you feel welcome and upbeat! Great service and great food!

Lovely lunch spot, a little pricey but you get what you pay for, the menu is well thought out and our food was delicious, service very attentive and friendly, will defo be returning. The beef tartar starter is exceptional

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

I've gone to a lot of Pie n Mash shops in and around London over the year and I can say Tony's is by far the best. Really, really good, from start to finish. Plenty of seating and very clean. As for the pie n mash, some of the best I've ever had and a special shout out for the liquor which was not weak and runny like you get at some other places. Only word of advice, it gets very busy around 12 till 2. so you may have to wait, but it's worth it. 10/10

Great cafe with a smashing atmosphere. Food was priced cheaply and of very good quality. I loved it and will be going again. Well done.

My family went to the cafe this morning i ordered 2 eggs 2 bacon fried tomatoes bubble snd hash brown my husband had a burger my son had porridge and my granddaughter had sausage and chips my eggs were hard and swimming in oil my bacon was undercooked so my husband had that the bubble was not nice the only thing i ate was hash brown they forgot my 2 slices of bread and butter so i had to go to the counter my husband’s burger was average and my son said his was not very nice i definitely won’t go back and neither will my family such a shame it used to be very good cafe but not anymore

Cosy little cafe with good food and friendly staff, the ideal place for a stop off during a bike ride. Traditional breakfast was lovely, will deffo return. Will be nice sitting on the terrace when the weather warms up again.

We only used this as a takeaway service but the food was fantastic and generous portions. Shame it didn't get a chance to be established.
