Our beautifully restored Essex barn offers an idyllic retreat in the heart of Epping Forest. The venue boasts stunning views over Chingford Plain and an array of locally sourced food & drinks options, from brunch to light lunches, coffee & cakes. Check out new seasonal food menu and drinks list!

We offer a relaxed counter style service and so we do not take table bookings, however you can pre-book for 2+ guests having Afternoon Tea. Our bright and airy Forest View room is available for hire and is the ideal space for a range of events from team building days to baby showers, wedding receptions to birthday parties. We have a range of food & drink options available for groups, designed to suit you, from Afternoon Tea to sit-down dinners and you can find out more about our private hire options here.
