In 2013, Amanda and Jahdre Hayward laid the foundation for Haywards, a gorgeous dining establishment that has evolved into a real diamond. Their dedication paid off in 2019 when they were bestowed with 3 AA Rosettes, solidifying a decade-long commitment to crafting exceptional menus, creative seasonal offerings, and delivering wonderful service. Found on the outskirts of the picturesque market town of Epping and along the fringes of Epping Forest, Haywards is a great venue for hosting your special occasions.
The tranquil setting, combined with the Haywards touch, ensures a wonderful backdrop for your events. These days, the dynamic husband-and-wife duo is steering Haywards towards a newer approach. Beyond its well known restaurant status, the focus now extends to tailor made events, bespoke catering, private dining, conferencing services, and a recurring calendar of unique ‘experiences’ hosted at Haywards. These immersive experiences promise a diverse range, from indulgent Sunday roasts and themed dinners to hands-on cooking classes and wine workshops. As part of Haywards’ new approach, the team are pleased to offer venue hire for your next special event, whether a wedding, corporate event, or party of any kind. Haywards is equipped to accommodate up to 50 guests for a formal sit down meal or 80 guests for a more relaxed, informal dining experience.
The in-house tailored service is designed to guide you through every stage of planning your special occasion, supported by a dedicated team of professionals. The diverse menu options can include tasting menus, canapés, and enticing grazing tables, ensuring an experience that suits your preferences. Additionally, the conferencing packages, featuring Haywards’ award-winning coffee, delicious homemade treats, snacks, and delightful lunch grazing tables, are tailored to ensure you have a perfect event.
