About The Gardeners Arms

A Pub with History & Heart

We are The Gardeners Arms, a gastropub with genuine heart and a reputation for exceptional food, a welcoming atmosphere and unbeatable views across London. Located at one of the highest points in Essex and a stone’s throw from the beautiful Epping Forest, our 16th-century Grade II listed building invites locals, walkers, cyclists and visitors to indulge in a truly memorable pub experience.

Having proudly stood for hundreds of years, The Gardeners Arms has held its place as a treasured community hub for generations. Today, it remains family-run and, from cooked-to-order dishes using the freshest ingredients to fun-filled evening events, continues well-loved hospitality traditions. Our landlady, Patricia Roberts, has been the soul of the pub for over 40 years and is still inspiring, still hands-onand still welcomes guests with the same warmth at 90 years old!
