The Larder in Butler’s Retreat
In the heart of Epping Forest, there’s a charming coffee shop called The Larder at Butler’s Retreat. On a sunny day, you can relax and take in the beautiful views of the forest while enjoying some truly delicious food.
Butler’s Retreat is a cosy old building in the middle of Epping Forest, on Chingford Plain. It’s the last Victorian retreat still left in the forest.
There’s something low-key magical about hanging out here—whether you’re laying out a picnic with the fam under ancient trees or vibing solo on a peaceful walk.
Cosy Inside and beautiful outside
Don’t worry, even on those chilly days when the weather’s less than perfect—whether it’s raining or windy—Butler’s Retreat offers a cozy indoor space. Every corner is thoughtfully decorated, making you feel right at home.
Large windows let you look out and enjoy the beautiful views of the forest, so you can still connect with nature from the warmth and comfort of indoors.
