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 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!!”

“I just had dinner here and I am very impressed. The food was delicious, everything was just perfect. I have absolutely nothing to say that could be better. I had 3 different starters as main main meal and that's quite a lot food. My friend had shish kebab which I tried and the meat just melted in my mouth. Very tender! In addition,they bring big plate with variety of salads, olives, yoghurt and dill dip and some tomato dip with home made pita bread to every table. The restaurant itself looked also very stylish. Seems they pay attention to every detail, including the business cards which were very stylish too. The restaurant was full with people who seemed to be regulars there, therefore,it speaks about the quality of the food. I live in central London and that's long way to go there for dinner, however, I would gladly return soon.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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”
