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.

A perfect setting for a reunion of old friends. Another top-notch meal. Excellent service delivers high class cuisine. An absolute gem.

First visit and impressed. Portion size was excellent - had a fillet steak. Usually find with a fillet the size can be on the smaller size, it was big enough for two portions and cooked well. My wife's meal was also very good. Will go back but won't have a starter...

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!

Beautiful food, very comfy and friendly atmosphere. The set menu was very good value. Service very efficient and friendly. Stands out as better than a standard pub restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

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

Ambience is traditional. Nice and clean too. Queue out of the door at 3pm - waited 15 mins. More staff would be a bonus at busy times. Pies had thick gravy which isn't so traditional and liquor not very tasty. I wouldn't return.

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.

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