The best restaurants in Epping Forest East of England

Great food and service. Welcome to take dogs which suited us and they have water for the dog.

Love the Bakers Arms. Staff great. Ambience brilliant. Food always very very good. I had chicken duo which was sooo tasty. Always enjoy visiting. 100% happy.

Visited on Saturday 11th January for my son's 18th birthday meal, this was our first time visiting Miller & Carter. We were seated promptly, once comfortably seated our server came over and introduced himself as Dylan. Whilst handing out menus Dylan asked if there were any allergies, my daughter is celiac so he brought her a gluten free menu. Once we had finished our meal, we didn't opt for dessert but Dylan brought out a plate with 'Happy Birthday' with a small bowl of ice cream with a lit candle, which we were not expecting and was a lovely touch. Dylan was polite, confident, attentive and had a good knowledge of the menu. Overall we enjoyed our meal, we would recommend and would happily return.

Good food/chill settings/friendly staff. I love it here, all year round it’s a nice place to come a chill out solo with or with friends

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

The pub is quite large, modern and clean . Nice choice of food. There is accommodation here if you need it with plenty of parking . A large garden in the summer. Service was good friendly helpful staff.

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.

Overdue review from various visits from the back end of 2024. Birthdays in August x 2 Works party in December Boxing Day lunch I have written many reviews on my thread for the Chequers over the years still our favourite eating establishment in the area. Will keep this short and sweet. From the moment you enter the premises you are met by a warm and friendly smile normally Julie who we have know there for twenty years. Pre meal drinks at the bar are always served very professionally. We like to sit in restaurant area, the waiting staff are trained to highest level better than many decent London restaurants, if you ever wanting for anything you only have to look up and someone is with you. The food choice is extensive, always comes out perfectly cooked and well presented at the same time if you are a table of two or ten. The wine list is great and the waiters/waitresses are well trained on how to serve it, if you order the wine of the nice side of the page you get lovely large glasses. As previously mentioned in my reviews on the Chequers, I always find this restaurant extremely good value for money and always feel happy to pay the bill, people on here moan about the price of fillet steak for example ( our favourite) in London you will struggle to find one with the trimmings for under £100 for context! Keep up the great work see you early 2025. Thank you.

7 of us ate here on a Thursday night with live music. Great food and service although the live act was a bit under par. Food was first class and the venue is worth travelling to.

Lovely surroundings and an excellent menu with loads of choices both for types of food and for prices. (A LA Carte or Fixed Price) First class customer service too from Sara(h). The portions were decent and the food tasted great. Good option for drinks too and if in the area it's well worth stopping off for a meal.

Delicious food. Had their mixed barbeque platter, chicken Karahi, mutton Karahi, pulao rice and butter nan. It was a work colleagues/brothers meet-up. Alhamdulillah best time I had in a long time. Had one family barbecue platter for the family on my way too. The staff was really warm and welcoming. Excellent service. Thank you

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!

Superb meal, lovely spacious restaurant, great staff and delicious currys. We have been going to this curry house for over 25 years and it never fails to deliver on price, quality and excellent service.

This place has certainly had its time. Desperately needs a urgent refurbishment. I wonder when the last hygiene inspection was done?? The food was without doubt precooked and totally tasteless tried to complain but said I was lying!!! Also very strange when you call it gets diverted and a strange ringing. They have also reduced their portion size but not the price. I will never go back there. Try Hong Kong up the road from there. They honestly don't give a danm.
