I particularly like the homely feel of the pub none more so when we used so much glassware they came and had to wash our glasses to serve our next round of drinks! Would Recommend it especially as it has a lovely fireplace ideal for a chilly evening to keep you cosy and warm!

The pub also serves food and the menu shows good variety, though is aimed more at meat eaters, with few vegetarian options. The desserts are lovely, lots of fruit crumbles, puddings and a cheeseboard. There is a motel attached to the pub and as the location is a stone's throw from the countryside, it would make an ideal place for a short break. So if you're ever in Essex (stranger things have happened) and fancy some home comforts, you really must give The 3 Jolly Wheelers a try!

Rainy morning in London and I was on a mission for shepherd's pie, which, I've learned, is…read moresurprisingly uncommon at pubs these days. This place doesn't technically have it, but their braised beef & ale shortcrust pie comes very close, and it's one of their specialties. Creamed potato, greens, rich gravy... comfort food done right. £19.50 and honestly worth it, especially on a cold, wet day. The ambiance really welcomed me in: warm, cozy interior with the fireplace going and a charming vintage Christmas aesthetic. Add in friendly people and genuinely warm service. Exactly the kind of pub you hope to stumble into on a rainy London morning. I'm hyped.

Huge thank you to the team! I also noticed the restaurant was completely full and cozy of happy customers, which was great to see. If you're looking for classic bangers and mash in London, this is the place to get it. The customizability is incredible: just pick your main or pie, choose a mash, and drown it in gravy. With so many combination options, there are truly zero wrong answers. . A highlight was being introduced to Tracklements Spitfire Chilli Mustard--it was so good we had to ask where we could buy a jar! To top off a great meal, it was such a lovely surprise to learn that the owner used to live in Vancouver! Great food and wonderful staff! It does get very busy, so just be patient with the line; it's well worth the wait!

The bangers were tasty, the mash was comforting, and the whole thing hit the spot after a day of exploring. But the food wasn't even the best part--the people were! Super friendly service, and I got to chat with the owner, who was genuinely one of the nicest people I've met on this trip. You can tell when someone really cares about their restaurant and the people walking through the door. Now for the sticky toffee pudding...DIABETIC DEEEELISH! My pancreas may file a formal complaint. JK...That sticky toffee pudding was ridiculously good. Great food, genuinely lovely people, and a dessert that made me dance. Welp! Onto the next!

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

We arrived about 10 minutes before our teatime to a gentleman telling us that our teatime had been moved to 2 PM because of some filming. He stated that they had attempted to reach us, but we had not gotten a call. They offered to buy us a drink at the bar outside of the restaurant for our wait time. I had never had a tea in London and I had heard this was the best so I was willing to wait, even though I was not happy with the time change. Finally, when 2 o'clock came around, we were seated at the restaurant and greeted by a server who very much made me feel like we were a nuisance. He brought out a box of tea, which was lovely. The view from our window was lovely. He then proceeded to bring out a few sandwiches, which were definitely not enough to make me feel like I had eaten. Then brought the tower of scone and desserts. The sandwiches were decent. The scones were delicious with the clotted cream. Every single dessert was awful. And I am a big fan of dessert. Once our server had brought our food over, he never checked on us once. There was even a table sitting next to us that he kept attending to and we would call him over and he would ignore us and keep walking away. Eventually, we alerted someone in the restaurant to this situation and they sent over a new server. They took a small percentage off of our bill for the inconveniences. It was still about 150 pounds per person. This was the absolute biggest disappointment of anything I ate during this 2 week trip. I will never come back here and I will never suggest anybody come here. I have had better service and better food at a chain fast food restaurant. I was still hungry after this meal and ended up going somewhere else to eat after. That is very disappointing.

A solid middle-class gastro pub, this is…read more From the respectable range of ales (including some guests) to more than quaffable wines, you're sure to find something you enjoy drinking. Sierra Nevada is a mainstay. The food menu is long and varied, and the fare I've tried was respectable, albeit a bit spendy given this is zone 4. On the subject of cost, I should say I would have liked to see the prices about a pound or two cheaper for many main courses. And the 10-pound round for two pints of ale did give me a bit of sticker shock given this pub's almost-Essex location. I guess it IS located in yummy mummy Wanstead valley, though. All in all, the pub has good food, good booze and plenty of inviting seating areas and a vast beer garden. On my two weekend visits, it's always been buzzing. If you're in your 30s and living in Wanstead, it's where you're going to end up eating and drinking at the weekend. If you're visiting friends who are the aforementioned, you'll be happy here too.
