New Beginnings for the Owl
Reopening 27th October
Something new is stirring among the trees at the Owl. Our doors are temporarily closed while this historic Lippitts Hill pub is thoughtfully transformed into a warm, characterful traditional inn. We are building on everything guests already love, from the open fires and forest setting to the generous garden, while creating softer, more inviting spaces and a food and drink offer worth travelling for. When we reopen, walkers, families, dogs and destination diners will all find a place to settle in. The forest has waited centuries for some stories. Happily, this new chapter will not keep you waiting quite so long.
Welcome to the Owl
Situated on Lippets Hill in Waltham Abbey. Combining warm hospitality, great food and traditional pub charm, this characterful pub draws inspiration from Kent's rich agricultural heritage, blending cosy interiors and relaxed dining spaces to create a place where guests can gather, unwind and enjoy quality food and drink.
