Classic bar experiences in Loughton

“We been to team Xmas dinner and teams hospitality is 5 star .... They have arranged tables before we come and every item servered is fresh, hot and testaty. It is not possible to appricate whole group, but all our group of 23 members enjoyed the food and hospitality. We strongly recomand to our friends.”

“Eaten here a few times. Food is superb and the staff are really welcoming.”

“We went for girls night, Aura slayed.. All staff went above and beyond for us. Food was delishious and the Cocktails a next level.. Will be back for Brunch this week, the pancakes look incredible.”

“Run, do not walk here... unless it's up the hill then take the walk at a brisk pace. They have recently redecorated but that's not the only reason why. They are now serving Chuck & Brisket, a small menu filled with the absolute best burgers I have tasted. Forget Dead Hippies from Meat Liquor, or Shake Shack. The cheeseburgers here are juicy, mouth-watering and the most delicious brioche meat sandwiches I'vehad in a very long time. The patties taste incredible and are so moist. I couldn't fault it and I was a little sad when it was over. Their skin-on fries transported me to my grandmother's kitchen, for me, a comfort food. I would absolutely come back here, and implore any newcomers and regulars to try their delightful menu, otherwise you would be doing yourself a disservice. You will not regret it.”

“Very friendly, popular pub. Speedy service. Excellent cheese sandwich with salad. Reminded me of Essex pubs as they used to be!”

“The Carpenters Arms is a great pub that dates back to the old style beer houses. There's no other pub in Loughton that possesses that kind of style. It has more than ample outdoor seating for the present times during government regulations but to be inside the Carpenters Arms is something to look forward to. It has such a great character inside that most pubs do not possess. Well worth a visit.”

“Had Sunday lunch there on 24 Oct 2021. Just loved it. Had the beef joint with all the trimmings. It was fab, you definitely won't leave hungry. By the way, they did bring extra Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese too.”

“Despite living in the area a while now, first visit and pleasantly surprised. Visited on Saturday, Good atmosphere, drinks fairly priced. Also there was a live band who were good.”

“Just wandered in after a lovely big walk in Epping forest with a good old friend, and I have to say, what a fantastic weatherspoons! Ordered a small freshly battered cod and chips with mushy peas and a leffe blonde to wash it down (lunchtime deals of course! £6.99?! Can’t say fairer than that!) Can confidently say it was the best weatherspoons food I’ve ever had, fish was perfectly cooked, fantastically crispy batter whilst maintaining a juicy succulent cod piece in the middle, and might I say generous portions for a small plate! Perfectly poured crisp pint to top it all off, what more could you ask for? The last post? It’s my FIRST choice in Loughton let me tell you that much :)”

“Stopping in afternoon on a Friday for a quick drink, immaculately clean, friendly bar-staff. It's a little quiet, but that's exactly what you'd expect at that time. A great experience”
