Rainbow Dove - Epping Forest

We came to the rainbow and dove on holy evening with the family, we were a table of 11. the service was very efficient, and we were all served all our foods within minutes with each other, the portion sizes were very generous and the eating was nice and hot served. we eat a lot in pubs and restaurants in london and went to the rainbow and dove awaits ordinary pub dub and we were pleasantly surprised to buy the quality. eating was simple and well done, with great aromen. everyone enjoyed their meal, and we all tried a bit of each other! and the cheesecake desert was delicious. we recommend this pub in any case if they are in the opposite or look for a small group.

Excellent English Country pub just off the M11 for a business lunch. Great food and service.

Visited with freinds, food agreed by all excellent. Lovely welcoming pub, great host, waitress, petite lady great. Many thanks. Will be returning.

This was a special surprise Birthday celebration lunch and the 5 of us were ready to enjoy everything. We skipped starters planning to have puddings later. My Slow Cooked Belly Pork and crackling with a cider gravy, new potatoes, beans and carrots was perfect. Crackling snapped with a satisfying crunch and pork was simply melt in the mouth, gravy was great. Grilled Sea Bass was perfection. An amazingly generous Chicken Club Sandwich with wonderful trimmings went down like a dream and both portions of Fish Chips were declared outstanding. It couldn’t have been improved it was all so good. We decided, with reluctance, that the portions had been so generous we couldn’t think of eating a pudding. I saw the home made baked Cheesecake and it looked and smelled divine. The welcome was excellent and our hosts were all fabulous. They accommodated all our requests and made sure we were all really comfortable. The IPA Pacific was refreshing and well conditioned?? The white Pinot was clean and perfect with the pork and fish and chips and we also shared a couple of bottles of sparkling water. Price was £102 inclusive of drinks. This is my second visit since my previous revue of the Rainbow and Dove. It’s service, food and price were outstanding and I’ll definitely be back.

Never ever in 20 years have we had a bad meal. The staff go way beyond our expectations and the food is the best for miles around with the added bonus of great real ales.
