I had the good fortune to attend 2 functions at this venue ( a retirement and a wedding ). I was the best man at the wedding. I and all of the guests had nothing but praise for the staff, food, atmosphere and general professionalism from everyone. Our wedding party was very late due to an accident on a local... More

We can't thank Linzi, Paula, Jill and all the staff at the Kings Oak enough for everything on our Wedding day back on 2 February 2013. Cheesy as it sounds, but words can't actually say how brilliant it was - we had an absolutely perfect wedding day from start to finish and would not have changed anything - we woke... More

The venue had the potential to create something special for the couple, however through no lack of planning on the couple behalf felt like a school disco. Their was reference to a kids prior birthday party, we had to pay for the cloakroom,... More

My niece had her wedding here and, unfortunately, it was a very wrong move to do so. One doesn't need to say how important this special day is and the amount of care and attention to detail put in by the happy couple was completed wasted as, at the end of the day, it was not carried out by this...

Well, what can I saw...we were greeted by some fit butlers in the buff and taken to our table and then... More

At the wedding of my fiance's daughter I was firstly stunned to the fact the clockrooms were locked and guests were unable to use them. Guests had wet coats and unbrellas and no where to put them. I only saw two small platters of coned chips being taken round by waiting staff all evening. Many guest spoke of being hungry... More

I do not base this review on cost or planning of the wedding day celebration held here. I base it on my experience as the best man & the way the event was catered for in my eyes. The venue was superb. The look & feel as you walked in to the function room was perfect. The bathroom (Mens) was... More

We had our wedding at the Kings Oak last Saturday, words cannot describe how overjoyed we were. It exceeded all our expectations.  From the start, Paula knew exactly what we envisaged for our wedding. On the actual day, from when we arrived we were made to feel totally at ease. From the big details to the small, Linzi & her... More

After a bracing winters walk through Epping Forest we decided to try out a roast Sunday dinner at the Kings Oak, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The lovely warming fire gave the whole place a very cosy feel, the staff were very friendly and when the food came out quite quickly I have to say... More
