The Volunteer

A child friendly pub serving food in Waltham Abbey.

A cosy hug of a foodie pub, minutes from the motorways and nestled on the edge of Epping Forest that’s been a McMullen house since 1898

With the backdrop of the forest you can walk, cycle or jog your guilt away before enjoying fresh seasonal delights from the daily changing menu – or simply seriously relaxing by the roaring fire or enjoying some of our occasional entertainment.

We serve up glorious food, including outstanding Sunday roasts, fine wines, real craft ales and credible coffee – all hand selected and selflessly and fastidiously tested several times, just to be sure things are tickety boo!

P.S. It’s also the perfect spot for a post-work libation and snack!

The team look forward to seeing you soon.

Guinness Draught 4.2 Guinness

One of the world's best-loved beers, with sweet smelling aromas of coffee and malt, from the first velvety sip to the last, lingering drop, every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between is pure beauty… pure Guinness.
