Haywards was established as a fine dining restaurant in 2013 by Amanda and Jahdre Hayward. In 2019, they were awarded 3 AA Rosettes and, over 10 years, have built a fantastic reputation for their excellent menus, creative, seasonal dishes, and providing service of the highest quality.
Now, the husband and wife team will be focusing on offering bespoke events, catering, private dining, conferencing and a regular schedule of ‘experiences’ to be held at Haywards. These experiences will include Sunday roasts, monthly and seasonal tasting menus, jazz evenings, and wine dinners.
Located on the outskirts of the charming market town of Epping and at the very edge of the historic Epping Forest, Haywards is the perfect setting to host your event.
