picture of Royal Forest Hotel If you want to find a pub as close as possible to being a Harvester Restaurant, without it actually being one, this would be it. In the pretty surroundings of the Epping Forest countryside, this popular place has "traditional family pub" written all over it, albeit in an overtly commercial pub chain kind of way. On our weekend visit, this huge place was swarming with children running about; at least those who weren't in the designated 'play area'. The food was distinctly average (and mean too - six chips does not make a portion) and the beer was nothing special. Not a place to come out of your way for, but if you fancy a walk around Epping Forest, this place easily serves as a welcome stopping point to recharge your batteries.
