Head to The Cock & Magpie in Epping and discover an exciting foodie venture behind its unassuming exterior. This country pub is split between a traditional bar and a popular Thai restaurant serving stunning dishes to a loyal foodie fan base. While the pebble-dash exterior of the building retains the ambience of a British tavern, inside the Thai Ruen Restaurant boasts colourful decor that celebrates Thai culture.
The menu is incredibly vast and varied, and the list of starters alone features a huge range. From classic prawn toast and chicken skewers, to deep-fried sweetcorn with chilli sauce and kanom jeep (steamed dumplings filled with prawns, pork and water chestnuts), you’ll want to try a bit of everything. To follow, we recommend the ped makharm – marinated slices of duck paired with exotic sweet and sour tamarind sauce – or the vegetarian-friendly deep-fried bean curd mixed with ginger, mushrooms and spring onion. The selection of desserts is sure to tempt, and features both Thai favourites and traditional British options.
The restaurant space is capable of seating over 100 people, making it an impressive and memorable place to celebrate a special occasion. The bar serves a range of tempting tipples, including beer on tap, and wine and cider. Together as one, The Cock & Magpie and Thai Ruen Restaurant are well-equipped to cater for all needs.
