“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.”

“The best place for toasted sandwiches with dietary requirements! They offered a meal deal with a drink which in my case was a Peach nectar and everything was delicious! I would definitely recommend to anyone and would go back again! P.S. The added bonus is the owner of the cafe produces her own aromatic coffee beans which are making the best creamy espresso I've seen in this country!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Deliciously tasty, high quality, loaded Italian pizza. I had the Asparagi version which was possibly the nicest pizza I have ever had. The others had the San Daniele which was also fantastic. Thin, with perfectly crispy edges. Extremely reasonable prices.”

“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 :)”

“Fantastic food. Really tasty, fresh and very authentic. Would recommend!”

“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 :)”

“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”

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