Relaxed meal atmosphere 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.”

“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.”

“Best Turkish in Loughton/Debden. Good spot on and what I've come to expect from a good Turkish having a Turkish wife lol. These photos are only the meat and rice but there is also a delicious salad and bread that came with the food.”

“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.”

“Lovely fresh good quality food. Best kebab shop in the area without doubt. A great addition. We will definitely use it again.”

“What a little gem in the Broadway, lovely interior makes it a welcoming space, great service and the coffee is my new favourite. Can't wait to eat myself through the menu!”

“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!”

“We have eaten here a few times now and have been most happy. The portion sizes are good, the food is always cooked fresh and is well seasoned, the restaurant owners and staff are really friendly and helpful, the restaurant is lovely and clean and modern inside and the prices are very reasonable. Without a doubt the nicest place to dine in Loughton.”

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

“Love this little tea hut. Great cuppa when you fancy it, with views over Waltham Abbey from the car park. Parking fees payable now. Tea hut appears to be closed on Monday.”

“We have just had the most delicious meal here this evening! Fabulous personal service, a lot of care given to my daughter who has never had Indian food before!! It’s my mums favourite restaurant, she eats here regularly! She loved sharing it with us all!! Food was just lovely!!!!!! Thank you for a great evening!!”

“Had an excellent Sunday brunch here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The Eggs Benedict was superb. Service was good and it had a nice ambiance.”

“Always incredibly friendly service…puts a smile on my face! Amazing food at a reasonable price. Always a go-to breakfast/lunch location”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It you are looking for a good fish and chip shop, this is the place to go! Great chips, large portion size. Really good fish, the Cod, Haddock and Rock are my favourite and are always excellent.”

“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!”

“The best ever area I have visit in London so far. I will come with bike to ride in this lovely area . This is the best place for cycling and hang around d w8th fresh Air .”

“1st time I have been in here for 15 years & still same publican's that run it ,Always polite & chatty as well helpful & will spend time mingling with customers....”
