About us

With antique crystal chandeliers and timber beams, an instant warmth exudes from both the building and the real log fires within. Fabulous for a family get together or birthday knees-up, our Gastro Pub provides an oasis overlooking the wonderful High Beach common.

Our Gastro Pub food menu offers delicious home cooked pub food.

This is complemented by a great selection of real ales, premium lagers & ciders, fine wines, cocktails, champagne and not forgetting a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate.

All in all our offerings are as diverse as the crowd who wine and dine with us.

Already a popular destination for outdoor types – be they forest ramblers, mountain bikers or lovers of flora and fauna… we have now become an equally exclusive discovery for that romantic first date… the Kings Oak in Epping Forest.

Wow what can I say. The kings oak event team executed our wedding perfectly. We had the best day!! It was honestly the most incredible venue. Paula and Linzi on the day were amazing making sure I was calm and everyone was in place and the day ran smoothly. The food was INCREDIBLE! So many people have said to me it’s the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Christian the toastmaster was lovely! The DJ provided was very good and really friendly! Photo Booth and chocolate fountain were included and were incredible, all the guests raved about them! I couldn’t fault the place. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding a reality, the venue is stunningly beautiful and every last detail is perfect.

Found the pub after a long walk across Epping Forest and had a nice spot of lunch. A wide selection of food including vegetarian options and range of hot and cold drinks. Had the Aubergine and rice which was tasty and filled me up for the afternoon. There is a beer garden and children's play area which is nice in the sunshine. There is an oyster 🦪 bar to the rear which was closed the week day afternoon I visited. The pub/restaurant sits alongside the historic Kings Oak Hotel 🏨. There is a public toilet located in the extensive car park. Lots of space for walks, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.

Cute place, nice and clean. Impressed by the size of the pool, deep enough, had a lovely cold swim, however for the access price£60 for the bed and on top £25pp, you expect a heated pool and good sun loungers, they were so worn out and some broken. Not nice. Also, there was plenty of staff, and its shocking that even when it was quiet our order was taking too long to come. 1st 2 iced lattes came after 25’… unacceptable. Furthermore, one of the days some east europeans (you can easily guess which ones) felt that its ok to play their own music on their speaker even though the venue has its own. Tried to make them understand that I am not pleased hearing their sad gypsy songs whilst the music from the venue is playing nice songs. They couldn’t give a flying f and continued. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to stay…Please engage with the guests and inform them that the signs are not there to be ignored. Whoever its not happy to comply respectfully, should be kicked out, simple as that.

Amazing experience from Remi, Holly and Shay. Thank you for making it a lovely time for myself, my son and our friends. Lovely hospitality and the food was amazing. Great vibes honestly can’t wait to visit again 5*. The portion sizes are MASSIVE. Will 100% recommend visiting the oyster bar the most amazing fresh fish you can imagine.

My first time here 😁 they have a venue that gets hired out for functions and I dropped the little one at the venue for a birthday party. I then popped into the Gastro pub to pass the time. I ordered a Guinness from the amazing young lady here who also adviced me about the menu where I settled on a fishcake starter and authentic chicken curry , you can choose how hot you'd like it too, excellent as I like it hot ! 👍 Excellent meal 👍 definitely will be coming back here with great service, great advice and great food . Thanks guys and keep up the excellent service and quality 😁 An update since my last review, I have been on another couple of occasions with another visit planned for Easter Sunday . The second visit was for a Sunday roast dinner and was amazing with the third visit for dinner and as much as I don't want to tell people , I had a burger and this was no ordinary burger , it was the best burger I have had in a long time 😁
