Butlers Retreat - Speisekarte

Lovely place. decent choice of food and coffee. Pleasant staff.

Can’t really comment to much good coffee and great out door seating area

The food selection is limited but good. Very welcoming staff. Family friendly. Would recommend

Lovely place for a coffee or sausage roll whilst wandering Epping Forest. They sell alcohol and ice cream too which is fab.

The afternoon tea was amazing, one of the best we've had so far! Thank you! This place is a hidden gem. We will definitely be back.

Visited 12:30 on Tuesday after a walk in the forest, pouring with rain, not a single customer inside the cafe, asked if we could sit inside with my well behaved little dog to be told no. Shame as it was 3 of us wanting to order lunch and coffees, they easily missed out on £35/40. We went to a cafe in station road that welcomed the dog and was super busy! Must be missing a lot of business as prime dog walking spot!!!! Such a shame!

After a long walk in Epping Forest, I decided to stop by this restaurant located right on the edge of the forest in Chingford. The building has a nice appearance from a distance and offers both outdoor and indoor seating options. Dogs are only allowed inside while ordering, which was a bit unusual, but since it was a nice day, I chose to sit outside. The service was a bit lackluster, but there was a good selection of drinks and food at reasonable prices, making it suitable for a quick brunch. However, the restaurant had a slightly shabby feel to it, which was a shame.

I recently enjoyed a Butlers breakfast and a vegetarian breakfast (I believe it was called the Connaught). Both dishes were made with high-quality ingredients and had excellent flavors. In fact, the vegetarian breakfast was one of the best I've ever had for breakfast or brunch. There was a slight issue with the size of the coffee I ordered, but Kerry quickly resolved it. She was extremely polite and helpful. I had a lovely day sitting outside with my dog, although it may be inconvenient if it's cold or raining since dogs are not allowed inside. Overall, I would definitely come back to this restaurant.

We ordered a large buffet lunch from the Larder to cater for a family reunion. I chose this company after having them cater for a smaller party a few years ago. I was so impressed by the quality of the food that I was delighted when they agreed to cater for this bigger event and I was not disappointed. The communication from the Larder team was brilliant right from the start. They replied quickly to our questions and accommodated our requests with no fuss. The food was delicious, freshly prepared and a huge hit with all the guests. I highly recommend this place for quality, no fuss food and excellent customer service.
