“Nice motorway”

“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!”

“First visit and wasn't disappointed. Nice place to have a cuppa and something to eat in a beautiful forest setting. Went with a group of motorcyclists from Norfolk and really enjoyed looking at the variety of bikes that were there. Obviously a popular meeting place. Tea and bacon roll were good and the service friendly.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Small but well stocked organic grocery and cafe. Delicious tumeric latte and carrot cake. There is also free wifi here so a good alternative than the big name chains. Staff were really friendly and can't wait to come back to try lunch!”

“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 :)”
