Ashlyns in Epping Forest

Busy but fantastic generous food in restaurant - Best salads 👍 kids loved play area too and the wine shop is also excellent

Really nice farm shop. We always get the fresh sourdough and cheese. Items slightly more expensive then elsewhere but lots of choice and selection of local produce.

RUDE STAFF. Came here Saturday to take my children to the soft play & Farm Park, which was unexpectedly closed, I had already checked Ashlyns farm shop website and the farm Park to Instagram page prior to coming, so very frustrating that I had a one hour round trip for no reason. I went into the farm shop to enquire, was faced by a young girl who had the moodiest face and when I asked is the farm close she didnt even get up from laying across the counter said “yeah” and gave me a filthy look, apparently they didn’t know about it either but her and the senior member of staff were really rude, cut me off mid sentence to say the farm is nothing to do with them… but they share the same name, they’re on the same site, and they have a link to them on their website so I feel they have a duty to let people know when they are closed? Regardless of all of that, i don’t like being spoken to the way they spoke to me, the young girl needs to learn how to deal with the public or get a new job, or very minimum learn to bloody smile.

My toddler ended up in the hospital after having a meal at this restaurant. Staff were told about my child's severe nut and egg allergy before ordering our meal. Within an hour, during our journey back to London, my child ended up with severe allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital overnight. My child had nothing else eat apart from the meal from this restaurant. This is not a restaurant for anyone with any sort of allergy --- I would stay well away unless you want to gamble with your life. One star is too many, would give it minus one.

Went with a friend who drive me. We had a snack and tea. Very friendly staff and very clean. After looked at the plants. Smaller than I expected but the gentleman there was very friendly and knowledgeable.Went into the farm shop. Had a good variety of food. Very clean and staff once again very nice.Will definitely come again.

The cafe is worth going to for their lunch time menu. I think there is a degree of pride and care in their food service.Nice to browse around afterwards around the shop and see the farm animals.

Finally I have found somewhere that does a Gluten Free cooked breakfast, sausage, bacon, egg, beans, hash browns and toast. Lovely restaurant and good quality produce.Added bonus was the farm shop which has its own onsite butchers again produce was brilliant. Will certainly be back soon. 🙃

We weren't happy at all that despite booking a table for a specified time when we arrived at that time we were told because the people before us had arrived late our table wasn't free and we would have to wait. We were ultimately seated 20 minutes late, which was a stressful wait as we had two very hungry toddlers and a baby with us and there is no waiting area, just the small adjoining farm shop. When I complained to the manager he repeatedly told me the group knew we were waiting and had been given the bill and there was nothing more he could do. I felt this was poor customer service as haven't we all been to restaurants where we've been told we need to vacate the table by a certain time for the next table booking? I think more could have been done to move the prior group on.On a positive note the food was good and they did give us a free round of drinks but I doubt we will be going back after our stressful experience.

Love coming here, there is a small soft play area, 2 playgrounds and you can get animal feed so you can walk around the farm and feed the farm animals, kids absolutely love it. There is also a farm shop who sells good quality products with a good variety of range, the staff is always super kind and friendly. I’m not lying if I say I came at least a few times a month :-D would highly recommend.

Went for breakfast at the farm, prior to doing our shop. The social distancing measures in place were followed, but more importantly the breakfast was delicious. After the breakfast we bought, lamb, burgers , liver and sausages from the butcher, and the quality was superb .The farm shop has been open throughout this pandemic, but it was great to see the restaurant, wine shop and farm open again. Keep up the great standards and service. Thanks
