What a fabulous day. We went to Kings Oak today for Sunday lunch and really had a good meal. First time that i took my Dad there and he really enjoyed it. We sat in the gardens and the sunshine was lovely.

This is a delightful pub in Theydon Bois and has homecooked food on the menu. We love the steak and ale pie and have been going to this pub for several years. Went there on Wednesday for lunch, really lovely day and we sat in the garden. Thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend this pub for its food.

I attended the Whites Night Party on 31st August with 10 guests and we had a great time. Bar-B-Q, entertainment around the Pool and it was spectacular. The new owners who I think have been there for just over a year have done the place up really well. Very upmarket and lush. Went back there for dinner in the Restuarant last week for my Dads birthday and we had a really great evening. Food was very good and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
There seems to be a lot of negative feedback about the Kings Oak but I feel its due to the past owners. It has certainly improved since last owner took over who is Linzi and is very lush and I will be going back again in October. Linzi makes us feel welcome everytime we visit.
I like a venue that is upmarket and reasonably priced but offers a good service and excellent food. I work in London and live in Epping so its really refreshing to eat out in the country.

This is a nice pub in Nazeing with lovely garden area, outside conservatory. Food was good and when I last when they had entertainment - jazz singer, which was nice. They also have a good childrens play area. I have eaten here many times over last 6 months, about 8 times and would recommend it.

Have eaten here several evenings for dinner. Good menu and they have free wifi so you can use your laptop. They have a nice conservatory. Food is Ok but the service is quite slow as dont have many staff behind the bar, however, its local to where I live and in a nice location.

This is a nice pub in Epping Forest. I often go there, at least once a month and it serves good food and is a good pub to go for to have lunch. Highly recommended.

This is a nice pub, tucked away down a side street. Really busy on a Friday night and I went there about a month ago. Good disco and atmosphere. Really busy pub which is worth visiting.

Scout Chappie, I dont know who added that review but it was not me so if you can remove it that will be good please. You really need to visit the Kings Oak to make your own mind up about it. I have never had any complaints and know they are doing there best to make it a great pub to visit. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

We went to the Kings Oak a few weeks ago on a Sunday and had to wait nearly 1.5 hours for our starter. We did enjoy the starter but when the main course arrived it was cold and we didnt complain as it was really busy. The staff were not very helpful or never seemed bothered that we had been waiting so long so we will not be going back there again and wouldnt recommend this pub.

I would like to let everyone know that the Kings Oak is under new owners and have done really well in refurbishing the place. I posted some reviews a while back and received some odd comments about being the owner. I dont work at the Kings Oak but I do know the Landlady is Linzi Pollard and she has worked hard in building the place up. The food is really good and we all enjoyed it anyway but the Beach Club is fantastic. You have to visit the place to see what I mean.

If you want to have a great meal in relaxing environment then you have to go to the Kings Oak. The views from the pub across to the Forest where you can see all over London is amazing. The ambience at the KO is fantastic, whether you are in the Pub, Gardens, Dining Room or Beach Club Tent or around the Pool.
I love the KO, the food is fab, staff are really friendly and helpful and we thoroughly recommend this place. It has something for everyone and if you have children there is a fantastic adventure area in the Forest Gardens where there is plenty of room for children to play. I took my Grandchildren there on Fathers Day and it was extremely busy but the kids had such a great time playing and there is also a bouncy castle which is supervised and we had a wonderful BBQ lunch and they even had a Hog Roast.
We highly recommend the Kings Oak.

Hi, I really recommend The Kings Oak having been there for lunch and dinner several times. Its fantastic and the service and food is excellent.I couldnt believe the changes that have been made by the new Owners who apparently took over in 2009. It is very high class, with chandeliers, bbq and hog roast served in the gardens and they have a private members beach club. We have had the BBQ in the Gardens and also dinner in the Dining Room which is really stylish and the food was gorgeous.
We are seriously considering organising our 25th wedding anniversary at the Kings Oak in the Kings Room and Beach Club Tent. We have been shown around and its breathtaking and the swimming pool is beautiful. They have themed the pool gardens Nikki Beach style and we are so hoping that we will be able to join the private members club.

The Duke of Wellington, Epping
We called into the Duke of Wellington and had a drink and good chat with landlady. Its a really friendly pub. We had already had lunch at the Kings Oak in High Beach but didnt eat. We have often had meals here and the food is really good. Its a shame its on the high street in Epping, but the staff are friendly.
