Friend gathering 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.”

“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.”

“First time ordering from here and ordered food for Xmas dinner today, curry goat, stew chicken, rice n peas, Mac n cheese, coleslaw, salt fish fritters - it was absolutely delicious - can’t fault a thing! Will definitely be back - thank you and Merry Christmas!”

“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!”

“Great food....staff very attentive....was fairly quiet.....recommend.....”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best wings I’ve had to date. Always come here on Wednesdays for 2 for 1 wings. Mango Mazzaline has to be the best flavour for me, sweet with that kick of scotch bonnet fragrance. Have also tried other flavours and yet still delicious. Loaded fries is just moreish with the lashings of different cheeses. Hidden local gem and a must try!”

“A group of us come here regularly on weekends for the lively atmosphere and the friendly staff. Always happy to see Joe behind the bar who is very helpful in any situation :)”

“The best chicken in black bean sauce! Everything tasty and well cooked every time.”

“Always sceptical about local chicken and chip shops and I’m new to the area so tried this place. Called in advance to ask if it was halal (it is) and ordered a chicken burger. Guy i spoke to said he would make a fresh one for me. Came delivered hot and fresh and it tasted amazing!”

“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”
