Unique food experience in Loughton

“Really happy with hot dogs groomers . From the friendly staff to great job they did on our cairn terrier . Always a good sign when our dog is actively pulling on the lead to go into the shop as he is being walked towards the entrance ! Highly recommended”

“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.”

“Run, do not walk here... unless it's up the hill then take the walk at a brisk pace. They have recently redecorated but that's not the only reason why. They are now serving Chuck & Brisket, a small menu filled with the absolute best burgers I have tasted. Forget Dead Hippies from Meat Liquor, or Shake Shack. The cheeseburgers here are juicy, mouth-watering and the most delicious brioche meat sandwiches I'vehad in a very long time. The patties taste incredible and are so moist. I couldn't fault it and I was a little sad when it was over. Their skin-on fries transported me to my grandmother's kitchen, for me, a comfort food. I would absolutely come back here, and implore any newcomers and regulars to try their delightful menu, otherwise you would be doing yourself a disservice. You will not regret it.”

“The fuel works wonderful with my range rover as my MPG went up from 13 to 50000000000000 its amazing much better than Waitrose”

“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.”

“We ordered via Just-Eat and were very pleased with the great quality of food and delicious taste. It also arrived quickly. A bit surprised by the negative reviews. Definitely will order again.”

“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!”

“Great beers, amazing wines, really knowledgeable and friendly owners, they’re obviously very passionate! Love this place.”

“This industry is reliant on new shops opening that know how to build a community space and offer quality, reputable and honest prices for liquids, hardware and the rest! After meeting the owner I warmed to his nature, no nonsense and good banter. I never like being 'sold' to but always appreciate the extra effort to try new flavours and experiment with different devices. No shop within a good few miles to compete either and they've done everything right with creating not just a business, but a home from home our industry can feel proud to be part of. Great prices, amazing ranges and an owner that will listen and guide on the best buys and products that match your individual needs. Not just a punter, felt like part of the family. Cheers!”

“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.”

“First time ordering from here and ordered food for Xmas dinner today, curry goat, stew chicken, rice n peas, Mac n cheese, coleslaw, salt fish fritters - it was absolutely delicious - can’t fault a thing! Will definitely be back - thank you and Merry Christmas!”

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

“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.”

“Never had a bad meal from here. Been going here for as long as I can remember Great staff friendly and fresh food.”

“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.”

“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”

“First visit and wasn't disappointed. Nice place to have a cuppa and something to eat in a beautiful forest setting. Went with a group of motorcyclists from Norfolk and really enjoyed looking at the variety of bikes that were there. Obviously a popular meeting place. Tea and bacon roll were good and the service friendly.”

“Been using Onami for years. Great food at a great price. Good Sushi isn't cheap, but i always find Onami very reasonable. Big Fans of their Futomaki and the Tempura veg. Keep up the great work guys! Five stars.”

“It was good. They served me the drink that makes me forget things.”

“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...”

“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.”

“Amazing Lamb Shank for Sunday roast. Lovely pub, friendly staff. Make sure you are a dog lover though. It was like crufts. Highly recommended.”

“Order the set dinner B this evening. All the food were amazing. The staffs are friendly. 100% agreed one the best Chinese in Loughton. P.s they do accept card payment.”

“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 .”
