About

The Original Tea Hut is situated in Epping Forest near High Beech, just off the A104 Epping New Road. It is afriendly and popular stop for walkers, cyclists horse riders and motorcyclists (for whom it’s a nationally recognised destination and meet-up spot).

Visit the Original Tea Hut website to find menus and price lists and information about some of their premiere products such as speciality sausages, popular in sandwiches and rolls. You will also find information on the history of the business, the longstanding relationship built over generations with loyal customers, and the important connection of High Beech with the sport of Speedway and the famous track at High Beech.

The Original Tea Hut pride themselves on selling quality produce at reasonable prices. Their aim is to provide decent food in the best surroundings at a good price.

Set in the heart of Epping Forest, it was very near the Original Tea Hut that Dick Turpin shot and killed Thomas Morris, the servant of one of the Forest Keepers, which put a sizable price on his head - to be collected later when he was finally caught under an assumed name and imprisoned in York accussed of horse stealing. Even after his true identity was known and the reward paid, his horse theft trial continued as the penalty was the same as for murder - death. Found guilty, Turpin was hanged and buried (twice) in York and his gravestone bears both his assumed name, John Palmer and his real name, Richard Turpin. Discover the whole story of Turpin, the Gregory Gang and the shooting near High Beech, here.
