The John Barleycorn in Epping Forest

A little bit over priced for what it is. Pleasant interior, staff pleasant. Vegetables were adequate for some but not enough for others. (I.e. plenty of greens but just a tiny bit of swede and very few carrots). Would I go again, yes I would hoping a few things may have changed

Been there loads of times never had a bad meal staff are friendly lots to choose from the menu would recommend this restaurant

Have just been in a group of 12 for mothersday 2022. Faultless. Stunning food, plenty of staff, very attentive without hovering over you, and very welcoming. Thoroughly recommend. Would give more stars if possible. Food was heaven, loved the look of every dish ordered to our table, and we didn't have to ask for a single thing missed or short, not even an empty drink on the table.So many other pubs out there getting all this wrong. Well not the John Barleycorn.Beautiful grounds too

Visited The John Barleycorn this evening with my husband and parents, the food was absolutely amazing. Such lovely staff very friendly atmosphere spent 3hrs there will definitely be going again very soon.Thank you all xx

Lovely countryside pub. Excellent traditional Sunday roast lunch. Must book, only open Friday to Sunday.

Fantastic food and really nice staff. The JB has a lovely atmosphere and we definitely recommend this restaurant. My family and I will return very soon.

Absolutely loved it, we were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing plus the service. We have often visited on a Sunday dor the best roast dinners but this was a Saturday and we went off the main menu everyone meal was incredible 👌

We have been to the John Barleycorn pub at least five times for food and it’s one of our favourite gastro pubs.Service is always exceptional and portions / quality of food is great. Last night when we visited, I think her name was Lucy and she was brilliant. We’ve really enjoyed everything we’ve ever eaten there.The triple cooked chips and onions rings are 👍The postcode online doesn’t take you to the right place as we learnt by driving up and down the rural roads. Depending on which way your coming but when our say nav says were near, do a right instead of a left like it says, and the pub is on your left.Price isn’t bad and we can eat 3 courses for about £70. I just wish they had a chocolate brownie on the menu.Tables were nicely spaced before COVID but I felt a safe distance away from everyone, they had hand sanitiser available and they were also taking part in the track and trace. Not sure if this was a coincidence but I liked the doors were kept open so we didn’t have to touch them.Only negative I have to say is that the last time we came, one of the waiters put our cutlery straight on the table rather than on a napkin.Overall, we love it here.

Went here today for a Sunday roast. I have to say it is probably the best roast I have even eaten. We all had Maltesers cheesecake for afters which was fabulous. Over all lovely dining experience. Cozy, rustic dining area, friendly helpful staff and food to die for. Would highly recommend.
