Butlers Retreat

About Butlers Retreat

Butlers Retreat sits on the edge of Epping Forest, a natural post-walk stop after circling Connaught Water or exploring the woodland trails. The kids' breakfast (egg, bacon, toast) runs around £7, and there's a children's smoothie option. Highchairs and buggy access are available, and the real draw is the outdoor seating out back — picnic tables with forest views where dogs are welcome (they're not allowed inside). "Sit on the tables outside. The food is delicious," one regular writes. The lemon drizzle cake earns repeat fans, and the tuna-olive melt gets praise. Reviewers note that service is quick and friendly. Ideal for refuelling families who've worked up an appetite, especially when the weather cooperates.
