Dinner 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.”

“Great Food , warm atmosphere. Superb service. Enjoy !”

“Been coming daily for a long while now, Good service, Friendly staff and good food.”

“writing this as i eat it, firstly the staff was incredible kind and helpful with what to pick etc, and after watching them make the food and others (very carefully and with care!) i had high hopes. It certainly delivered as the food tastes exceptionally fresh and good. I don’t usually write reviews but after seeing the somewhat negative reviews i had to write my own as i am genuinely very pleased after eating here. please give this a try!”

“Gail's are 5* for all their products. This store has the edge over others because they have 3 lovely sales staff who are so helpful and friendly.”

“Fabio’s is something special. He has the best coffee in the area - hands down. Even Nero doesn’t come close to the quality. Always a joy to see him. The cannoli are incredible. He’s been keeping me sustained for my training sessions for months now and I find myself detouring to his place to get a coffee. You know it’s a damn good coffee when you’ll add time to your daily commute!”

“Lovely desserts and mains. Lovely hosts. It was heaving but we got a seat quickly. Nice place and good quality. Staff and owner were nice.”

“My friend Nela and I visited Hive Cafe for the first time today, we were very pleased with the service and enjoyed delicious Chai Latte's and Falafel Wraps, we Highly Recommended this cute and warm cafe. We'll be back to try their very famous Award winning pizza.”

“What a gem! The seafood was divine - whether it's a pit stop from cycling or walking or you drive to go here specifically, it won't disappoint! The curried, mango prawns were incredible - I can't stop thinking about them!”

“Took me a while to try this place because I'm usually a believer of Jack of all trades, master of none. But this place is really good at it all. Fried chicken on point. Pizzas better than dominoes. Indian food fresh, hot and plentiful. Deliver fast enough, both times quicker than time given. Can pay cash, card or PayPal with no fees and free delivery. Are fair and have given me more chicken or more wings because they said they were quite small which is awesome. It's my new go to takeaway. Keep it up!”

“I am a regular customer at here. Coffee always good and friendly staff. Thank you for being awesome.”

“Wonderful time here. Food was on point , bought a combo meal which was 18 quid. Which is two main courses. And 2 sides. The oxtail was amazing and tender. And stew its in was well put together. The jerk chicken was great aswell although I wasn't keen on the sauce. Guiness punch was lovely too.staff were great and ill definable be back”

“I wanted to say what a lovely, welcoming, warm place this is. It's not only a good place for my son, it's a good place for me. It's a great way to meet other mums, and other children to connect and play. It's clean, fun, and the staff are so friendly I will really miss them as I'm moving to another area. I hope I find somewhere that we love and visit as regularly as this place. Cant recommend enough! X”

“The food at this takeaway is really good! It took me back to Thailand! Freshly cooked home food - was very surprised how nice this was. Will be recommending and going again!”

“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.”

“It was good. They served me the drink that makes me forget things.”

“Brilliant food and amazing service! Not only were the waitresses nice but they were very quick with the food aswell! The food also tasted amazing and I couldn't recommend more! Will likely go again...”

“My family and I have been coming to Vivaldi for years and we love it. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always remember our usual orders. The food and drink are always lovely, with a relaxing atmosphere and nice surroundings to sit both inside and outside.”

“Nice pub Thai food near Epping forest. Really liked the Tom yum soup and red curry.”

“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.”

“As an all day eatery I think they've got this place absolutely spon-on. Please don't change a thing! Very attentive service. Plenty of polite (well-trained) staff, no waiting, taken to the table. Table service impeccable. Hugely impressed. Piping hot food (and coffee) came quickly, fresh and with good quality ingredients, the breakfast was plentiful and was cooked to perfection. Eggs although "fried" on the menu were more like a beautifully steamed - almost poached egg consistency. Gorgeous. Hell, they even open the door for you on the way out. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“I have ordered from Cafe Bengal for the past 3 years. The food is superb and the service is excellent. Price and portions are also very reasonable, without compromising on flavour. If you've not tried this place, you're missing out. Cage Bengal is the perfect go-to takeaway to compliment you're evening.”

“Very nice fish and chips. Fresh every time. It is not often that we get a family take away. But when we do this is top of our list. Friendly staff as well. Someone has commented that is cash only. That may have been when they first opened. You can pay by card, no problem. Most of takeaway packaging is paper. Although still some polystyrene for the chips portion. I will mention to the staff next time I order. It would be nice to cut on plastic wherever possible.”

“Neat little pub tucked away next to Epping forest in a very calm setting. Very interesting decor and friendly service. Check their website to avoid the few hours each afternoon when kitchen is closed. Food was delicious with great range of daily specials on top of standard menu.”

“Deliciously tasty, high quality, loaded Italian pizza. I had the Asparagi version which was possibly the nicest pizza I have ever had. The others had the San Daniele which was also fantastic. Thin, with perfectly crispy edges. Extremely reasonable prices.”

“Amazing Lamb Shank for Sunday roast. Lovely pub, friendly staff. Make sure you are a dog lover though. It was like crufts. Highly recommended.”
