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

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

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.

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!

We’ve been twice and loved it both times. First time was inside for cocktails and dinner. Second time was drinks outside in beer garden. Both times we had our mini schnauzer Leo and it’s super dog friendly (just can’t sit in main restaurant) Love the atmosphere- great vibe both times with great service and very welcoming. The food was lovely but a little on the expensive side. I wouldn’t rush back for the food but the atmosphere and service will bring us back- would come more if it wasn’t so expensive.

The hugest, heart-felt thank you to Kim and Wendy who made my Mum’s 94th birthday celebration such a wonderful and memorable occasion. We enjoyed afternoon tea on 17th November at Mulbury House in beautiful surroundings and honestly the whole experience was outstanding. We are not easy to cater for as there were 2 vegans and a pescatarian in our party but nothing was too much trouble for Kim and Wendy, they didn’t just go the extra mile, they went miles beyond. Thank you so much ladies! We loved the experience so much, we’ll be returning over Christmas.

First time having pie, mash and liquor. I gave to save I was apprehensive at first. However it was so good. My husband dad wanted to go for years, it’s only 20 mins from us. Will be back at some point

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.
