Lunch and dinner options in Loughton

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have been here a few times since it has opened and every time I have been the staff and service has been outstanding. A special shout-out to our lovely waitress Sophie. All the staff here are so lovely but Sophie was just so nice and accommodating. It was my friends birthday and all the waitresses went above and beyond to make it so special. We arrived at 5pm and didn't leave the restaurant till after 10pm. They made us feel welcome and at home and nothing was too much to ask. Another mention for the great cocktails that were made for us and were actually given complimentary. I will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to all at Dim T. Also the food was amazing. All made fresh and hot when arrived. Thank you team. Will see you soon. X”

“Visited last weekend for a party. Food was absolutely amazing, nothing was a problem for the staff. Friendly and engaging staff, Michelle and Navin can certainly put a party together. Would recommend 100% and will definitely visit again”

“I had an absolutely delicious pizza from the Loughton Papa Johns. It was prepared and delivered with care in an expected time frame. The pizza was delivered hot being almost fresh from the oven. Even the tomato base was succulent and tasty. Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had outside of Italy.”
