The Royal Forest is a restored pub, restaurant and hotel at 4 Ranger’s Road in Chingford, overlooking Epping Forest. The historic building dates from the nineteenth century and has been carefully renewed by Heartwood Collection, preserving original character while creating bright dining rooms, a library and comfortable spaces for modern visits.
Seasonal ingredients guide the main menu, with fresh British flavours moving through starters, substantial dishes and carefully prepared pub favourites. The kitchen changes its selection with the produce available, while dedicated lunch and children’s menus make the restaurant practical for families and daytime forest visitors.
Sunday roasts are served with generous trimmings and provide a traditional focus at the end of the week. A considered wine list complements the food, joined by cask beer, spirits, cocktails, tea and coffee for anything from a quick refreshment to a complete dinner.
The Forest Room offers broad views of the trees, while the south facing terrace is suited to coffee or drinks in suitable weather. Guest rooms allow visitors to extend their stay, and the pub’s position beside the visitor centre and Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge makes it a natural base for exploring the area.
