The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Epping Forest East of England

We stopped over in our motorhome and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The local were very friendly and we enjoyed a good chat with them. The food was delicious. We both had the fish and chips (haddock and cod). The fish was huge and cooked to perfection. I can honestly say it’s the best fish and chips I have had for ages.

ten members of our family joined us and the both the food and service was good Prices were very reasonable too

Staff were lovely and very patient. Food was great; lots of fun Easter options for dessert (carrot cake was especially nice). Was an overall lovely experience.

Really nice proper pub. Just wish they didn't allow smoking outside in the patio area. Only 15% smoke. Why should 85% suffer the smell?

Edit. Returned from our walk 2 hrs later and went from 1* to 5*. Great service on the return. Waited for a good five minutes at the bar, no one there to serve. Rang the little bell on the counter to no avail. Walked out again

The cafe looks very nice and it's pleasant to sit outside but the food is truly bad. It's overpriced and poor quality. Had leek and potato soup which was like a greenish brown thin gruel, tasteless and no discernible leeks or potatoes. Paid extra for cheese scones which were rock hard and very stale. The cakes are bulk bought. The quiches looked like they had been defrosted. It's cheap food poorly cooked for premium prices. We left most of our food. A waste of £33 for two very light lunches.

Eggs were sent back as not soft but completely undercooked. I explained I liked them medium and they cooked them again and one was fine but the other one was undercooked again. I explained that I was in a rush and did not want them cooked a 3rd time. They said the eggs were poached soft, I explained I did not request this. They still insisted on charging me full price for a half eaten undercooked breakfast. Moles used to be so nice I will not be returning.

The costa itself is good, however beware of parking in the waitrose car park directly opposite if you plan on staying longer than an hour and a half, i didnt see the hour and a half warning and have since recieved a £95 fine!!! There really should be a carpark with a longer permitted time for customers to use, an hour and a half isnt enough for cafe customers to use especially as i went there to work from my laptop! Ridiculous.

One of the main reasons for the visit was due to the iconic name, made famous by the film of the same name.. of which my boys are huge fans Visited after a cold visit from Suffolk with my 2 teen boys after a cold visit to the Fort, wanting to warm up with some food. We definitely saw a local that we thought of as 'Blank'. 🤣 For a Saturday afternoon it was extremely quiet, which concerned me a bit. (Usually strikes me as not a good location if this quiet) Ordered drinks and food for 3 of us and food from a very limited menu. One thing was immediately noted... How damn cold it was in there, a fire, or should I say, hot coals, was in the fireplace but it was freezing on a winter day, even the staff were bundled up in winter coats. We sat at the back of the pub in the Samuel Pepys room where we were quickly joined by the local 'village council' having their meeting and glaring at us as we chatted! (Sorry.. pubs are for chatting) Our food arrived swiftly and to our delight and I have to say suprise, it was really tasty and of large portions... Fish was a tad on the greasy side, but was still edible. So, 10/10 for that. Overall. A welcome stop off after a visit to the Fort and yes, I would visit again.... It wasn't terrible.. but it really lacked the love and attention it dearly needs in order to attract more clients.

When going for one of our walks we always try and end near this lovely Deli in Chigwell. Normally a coffee, which are excellent and although we try not too, we always succumb to one of the pastries or cakes which are sublime! Everyone working here are so welcoming and friendly. There is seating inside and outside and everywhere is absolutely spotless, as soon as a table is empty it is cleaned ready for the next lucky customer. Thank you to all at the Chigwell Village Deli and becoming part of our walking ritual! Jill & Warren

My second visit to this coffee shop and it was identical to the 1st, my friend wanted to go it. It’s grubby, coffee weak and I couldn’t believe that for the 2nd time they closed the area I was sitting in around us to prevent others contained in the front, take about rushing you as they needed to clear up!

very helpful regarding coffee enquiry and cofee machine use at hoem wuth their products. THANK YOU SO MUCH , Good knwoledge about the product they sell.

Cant beleive how poor this place is . I went there on 15.7.24 with my daughter who was desperate to breast feed her baby. My initial impression was that several of the tables were not clean, we did manage to find one that was. The sole member of staff was wearing ear pods and wasnt english he clearly didnt seem to understand what I was trying to order I had to repeat my self several times, I had a toasty that was massively overcooked it was stuck to the plate when served to me with just with just a wooden disposeable knife to try and eat it, my daughter had a breakfast wrap which was soggy and tasteless. The toilet wasnt clean when my daughter went in it to change her babys nappy it had a door lock that didnt work and she decided to change her baby in the boot of my car. In all we spent £18.50 in this shambles of a coffee shop. Do not waste your time going to this branch as it is a disgrace to the brand. We use Starbucks quite often in Central London and they are normally a pleasant place to go . This branch isnt avoid it.

I read mixed reviews for here but I must say I always have had an excellent time here. Slow service is often pointed out yet tonight our service was friendly, fast and attentive but not over intrusive provided by Paul. The food was swiftly brought up and freshly cooked and delicious. Another gripe is the private parking scheme and here I think it would be a good idea to remind all customers when you serve them of the need to register their number plate. Thanks to all.

Great staff. Good coffee! Finn who served us was very kind and helpful! Thank you
