The Woodbine Inn

About

The Woodbine Inn stands proudly at the edge of Epping Forest, offering a warm and inviting pub experience that blends traditional British cuisine with modern twists. Guests can enjoy hearty pub meals, generous Sunday roasts, and a farm‑to‑table menu that showcases locally sourced produce from Essex farms. The kitchen also caters to vegan diners and even delights with homemade ice cream crafted from fresh cream and Belgian chocolate. Beyond its food, the pub boasts an impressive selection of home‑brewed ales and ciders, including the Woodbine Racer pale ale and London Glider cider, alongside a range of spirits, wines, and craft cocktails. Live music – from blues to soul – fills the venue on Saturday nights, while acoustic and comedy nights keep the evenings lively. Booking a table is recommended for peak evenings, but walk‑ins are welcomed. With a relaxed atmosphere, it’s an ideal spot for both locals and visitors exploring the forest. The Woodbine remains a celebrated fixture in the community, known for its commitment to local produce, excellent service, and the vibrant social scene it supports.
