Relaxing evening meals 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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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....”

“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 :)”

“Overall, very good. Food selection is pretty good, large range of vegetarian and vegan options. Staff are all incredibly friendly, fast and helpful. Atmosphere was good, nice and relaxed place with plenty of seating and good music playing.”

“Fully recommend the wonderful afternoon tea. Beautiful selection of cakes and sandwiches. Lovely attentive staff, all in beautiful surroundings.”

“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”
