Worldsend Public House - Epping Forest

Admittedly we arrived at 1pm on a sunny Friday, however, we were not told of a long wait for food. There was no bitter on pump, only bottles. I ordered a sandwich and waited an hour before I chased it up. When it arrived, the side salad was drenched in water, soaking the brown bread. I tried to pick up the sandwich, but the bread was too soggy and collapsed. I started to put the contents into the top slices and noticed that instead of chicken bacon, I only had bacon. My friend’s wrap was in a pool of water, she asked for a serviette to dry the plate, the waitress offered no apology and just brought cutlery in a serviette, missing the point completely. We were due to have crisps as well as a side salad, however these were missing. When we asked for them, we were told they would follow. When they didn’t, my friend went to the bar and was reluctantly given some bags, but only flavoured packs. I am sure if we were locals we would have been treated better, but we were ‘tourists’ as identified by the man behind the bar.

Lovely welcoming friendly staff. We have eaten here before. Food today was very good again. Prices are good. Peacefull quiet for lunch by the river Thankyou x

Interesting location near the Tudor fort and the Thames ferry to Gravesend. Stopped for a couple of drinks and sat outside. Looks quaint from the front but nothing special inside and at the rear and not a very extensive or interesting selection when it comes to real ale. Shame it doesn’t have a view over the river as it’s too low down. I can’t comment on the food as I didn’t eat here.

Visited for first time since lock down over weekend and had an excellent meal, as always, along with very good company. Excellent service from the staff, as always. So great to be able to return to such a great place, situated on the riverfront, with lovely surrounding views. Many thanks to them all for such a lovely evening.

Pop in here occasionally with family or just myself really nice spot right on the river. Food and drink really good value. Staff are great
