If the office Christmas party has been a chain-pub buffet for the last three years, do something better with it. The Merry Fiddlers is a proper country pub minutes from Epping and the edge of Epping Forest, with real restaurant sections, private and semi-private space, and a kitchen that cooks at a level people talk about afterwards.
We host everything from a table of eight in a heated dome to a full department taking over a restaurant section — roughly 30+ covers in each main area, with bar seating for drinks receptions and the flexibility to combine spaces for larger groups.
Tell us your numbers, your date and how you want the night to feel. We build the event around it — food, drinks, timings and layout.
