Lovely evening at the owl very festive cosy ambiance and delicious food… We weren’t rushed and all thoroughly enjoyed the evening Thank you!!

Service was excellent. The food delicious and generally goid value for money. The atmosphere is so much better, you can hear each other now. Chairs are a bit hard.

Have met friends here many times over the last few years but we were all disappointed with the lunch menu this time. Expensive and poor choice

lovely breakfast and service from the team, it has become a regular venue for a business breakfast.

average service. cake quality fine. other food poor, overcooked and dry. expensive considering the overall quality. will think twice before returning.

We had a large party of 22 and we were looked after so well . The staff were lovely and so obliging. The turkey was very good but a couple of ladies did not enjoy the beef. Tough and full of sinew

Lovely food, lovely staff, wonderful setting. My second visit in two weeks both times couldn't fault it! Thank you

Spoon World is fantastic! The customer service is warm and attentive, making you feel truly welcome. The food is delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Everything about this place is just very nice — I highly recommend it!

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch. Excellent service. Nice, friendly waitress. Warm, cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

Great food, great service. Will definitely recommend and be returning.

Very warm welcome from the restaurant reception when we arrived. We were shown to a nice table in a very busy main restaurant area. Menu for breakfast had the usual choices ( nothing different from most cafe breakfast menus) 2 guests ordered the Barn breakfast (full English) 1 guest orderd Cacloe peppers eggs and salmon I ordered a round of white toast. Our drinks arrived very fast with a small waist for our breakfasts which was expected as the restaurant was very busy. The main restaurant area was very bright, spacious, clean and tidy. Unfortunately the 2 Barn breakfast were very disappointing ( bacon, black pudding & bubble disc were all very over cooked, dry and cold. Possibly from being left under a heat lamp or tray too long) One breakfast was missing its bubble. The salmon choice was nice with a good amount of smoked salmon. The 1 round of toast was fine (can't really go wrong. Delicious choice of Stokes condiments. Whilst we paid at the counter, we were asked if everything was OK. We gave an honest opinion and the girl just shrugged her shoulders to our constructive criticism. Over all 5/10 Not sure if we'd rush back for breakfast

We have had many lunches at The Owl, it's ideally located for lovely walks in Epping Forest and has a small kids playground for the kids to burn off steam before or after lunch. Sunday lunches there are superb, served quickly and decent sized with great gravy, a marker of a good roast dinner. The kids portions are generous. Saturday menu is varied and really great too!

Amazing food and service, our first visit here and certainly won’t be our last. Sunday roast was the best I’ve had. A really nice country vibe pub and restaurant. Perfect.

As always, great food, great service, great atmosphere. See you all again soon.

Very happy with the warm welcome, good food and service we received at The Owl. Thank you.

Was so very disappointed with Sunday ĺunch after hearing such good vibes. We received a really warm welcome, service was excellent, a really lovely atmosphere created by friendly staff. So, all was good until the food arrived Had Rosemary beef however, no rosemary taste, food was warm not hot, carrots overboiled as soft, peas hard and roast potatoes like bricks. Staff sensed our disappointment and made every effort to appease. I can understand that these things do happen therefore, will return to hopefully enjoy a more satisfactory culinery experience.

Food was absolutely amazing but we waited 50mins after being seated with a booked reservation for our food. That was the disappointment outside of a lovely food.

Had a fabulous meal at The Ship on Friday evening, first time trying the Winter menu. Service was excellent. Have already booked a Festive dinner there and thrilled our dog can come too!
