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

Nice quiet space and a good variety of pastries, toasties abd great variety of hot drinks, frappes, iced lattes, smoothies. I ordered the pistachio and salted caramel frappe with whipped cream on top. It was sweet enough for me so asked for a bit more syrup and they did. Very nice.

Nice meal, clean premises, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. Good atmosphere.

Excellent service and delicious food! They catered so well with a large group of people. I can highly recommend this pub.

An excellent local family friendly pub with nice food, nice staff and nice people in a very nice setting with beer garden. Recommended!

It's not 18th century at all it was built in 16th century. Best pub in Essex . The landlady is a legend.

The Garden Centre itself is fantastic and I can't fault it! However, we've visited the cafe a couple of times now - the first visit with some of the younger staff was lovely, they were very polite and the service was fast! Today, I was greeted by an older woman whose tone and abruptness towards me was just downright rude to be honest. The whole issue was over needing a table number to order, after saying that there was no number on our table, she very bluntly said that all tables have numbers and that hot food orders need table numbers (which in itself is fair and makes sense) but I again emphasises that there definitely was no number on the table we sat at and pointed to the table we were at. She repeated her previous comment with more abruptness to which I then said "right, okay then". I then proceeded to gather my family and leave the cafe. I've been in customer service roles myself and there's days when I have been stressed and we've been busy but never have I ever spoken to a customer like that. Absolutely disgusting.

We ordered a beef brisket sandwich in a artisan bloomer bread with dipping sauce. It took 50 minutes to come out. It wasn't on the bread advertised it was on basic brown bread. There was no dipping sauce to be seen so I asked the bar staff and she said she will find out. She didn't bother. It was very dry so we had to smother it with mayo to get it down. £11.50 very overpriced but the bloomer and sauce made it sound so nice. We won't be going back.

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.

It is a lovely coffee place. But in recent days I have experienced very impolite behaviour from one of the staff members. I paid for a Maple Hazelnut Latte and then asked if I could get it done using Soy milk. She was grumpy about it and said it doesn’t state soy milk in the order she received on the screen. I told that I am happy to pay any extra. She was like next time you need to tell properly but this time it’s fine. People who work in customer service can be a lot more polite and customer friendly. Also what I don’t understand is since I have already paid for Hazelnut milk a swap to soya shouldn’t cost extra though I offered to pay any extra !

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!

Been using this coffee shop for a number years but unfortunately some of the staff really let this establishment down recently How hard can it be to get a coffee that’s not boiling hot and when politely asked to change it the attitude is terrible

This is a great starbucks so friendly and clean and spells people names right. I love coming here with my friends and it’s always fast!

Best staff ever. shout out Cam honorary mention to izzy ryan and gav ❤️
