The Standard - Epping Forest

This restaurant is fantastic! The food and cocktails were delicious, and the staff were fantastic! I came here for a relaxed lunch and drink with my friend and my dog, and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be returning.

I don't even know where to begin. The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious, especially the lobster mac n cheese and the Sunday roast. However, I have had multiple issues with the booking process. Three times now, my reservation has either been cancelled or moved. Despite dining here before and recommending it to my friends, I was disappointed to arrive for Sunday lunch and find out that my reservation had been double booked. Most recently, my friend made a reservation for us only to be told two days before our booking that we had been moved to another location due to another booking. This experience speaks volumes. If you walk in and find a table available, enjoy your meal. But if you plan on booking in advance, be prepared for possible disappointment.

Our experience at this restaurant was not great. Three out of the four dishes we tried to order were not available, and when they brought a different item, they tried to pass it off as something else. When we questioned this, the manager came over without offering any apologies and simply asked if we were going to eat it or not. The service was strange, and the food that did arrive was not very good.

We went in for the bottomless Prosecco brunch and got an hour and a half of Prosecco that they were generous with pouring. I had chicken and waffles that were unreal. cracking spot and service with a smile. waitress was proper friendly and chatty.

Booked a 'day party ' for my sisters baby shower. Dealt with Michelle from enquiry all the way through to the day of party. She was so helpful and answered all my questions swiftly, personal touch was her helping me find a singer for the party and recommending decoration people. She talked me through the day beforehand and came to meet me at the venue and welcome us in. So nice to support a small business when this is the service you get. food was 10/10 two men on the bar were fast and efficient room is spacious with full air con for the summer months great cocktails
