| Great pub with good beer, (though the beer can be a bit warm in the summer months) No game machines and best of all no mobile phones in bar! Tightfart - 28 Jul 2010 14:50 |
| Have to say Gasperoos experience is the opposite to mine also. Was back in the area at lunchtime and took the opportunity to drop in for a pint and a sarnie. As I remember it being, well worth a visit on a sunny day with the bench seating outside the two entrances and then a sizeable green garden space further out to the front of the pub. And my pint of Nethergate IPA was spot on. So in conclusion the Forest Gate Inn is a traditional old style country pub with a bit of character and if you’re in the Epping Forest area and after a stop for a relaxing decent pint of Ale, then this place would tick all the boxes in my experience.

| Without doubt the best pub in and around Epping Forest - ignore review from gasperoo 28/12/08- the beer is always in good condition especially Adnams Broadside and the staff are invariably helpful and friendly - unlike the Mole Trap. tophops - 11 Mar 2010 11:43 |
| Mmmm - Nethergate was very tasty as was the Aspalls Dry, easily one of the best ciders on tap. The dog who was hiding under the table was also very accomodating and moved to another hiding place. Quiet (no teens) and jovial (few older locals) in equal measure plus a nice toasty fire to warm our cold legs after a 17 mile hike from Hoddesdon. It's always good to reach your destination but even better when that destination serves up decent beer with a smile. paulio1966 - 30 Mar 2009 17:08 |
| Visited this pub on Boxing Day 2008 with my family. Ordered a pint of Nethergate IPA, which tasted cidery and was swirling with sediment. On politely asking for a replacement, I was told that it was "supposed to look that way". I told the barman (stout, glasses, moustache, possibly the licensee) that I was a CAMRA member, and knew that no real ale should contain that much sediment. He replied "you lot look at the beer instead of tasting it, go somewhere else". I have not been so badly treated in a pub for years, will never return, and will campaign for its removal from the Good Beer Guide. Absolutely deplorable customer service. If you want a proper pub experience, go to the nearby Mole Trap. Gasperoo - 28 Dec 2008 11:56 |
