Came here for a baby shower with some friends & family and was horrified when i saw that the upstairs women’s toilet was covered in thick mould !!!!! The hand dryer was something from a horror film! It was vile & made me feel incredibly sick. We were also informed that the upstairs outside deck area (how you had to entire the room might i add) was out of bounds, you could not drink or have a cigarette and we’re asked to walk down slippery wet (it was raining off & on) metal stairs & stand next to the road. Not only were the stairs themselves incredibly dangerous but to stand next to a busy road when you’ve been drinking alcohol is something else entirely. The staff were very nice & polite however and did apologise for the circumstances but quite frankly someone saying sorry for a bucket of mould doesn’t really cut it.

We had the pleasure of DJing in the Standard last weekend. We use to DJ down stairs many years ago and overall this is a beautiful venue based in Loughton. The staff were incredible, Tasmin went above and beyond from the get go. Our client was over the moon and the party was a major success. Thank you and we will look forward to the next event. www.werdjs.co.uk

We went there to have couple of drinks on a Saturday. When we walked in straight from the door they asked ys for id and told us if we don't have it they can't serve us . My girlfriend forgot hers and we offered to show a photo of the id but the waitress said no no we don't accept this . Nevertheless we've decided to have non alcoholic drinks and stay there for a minute. When I've ordered my drinks at the bar I've asked for couple shots of baby Guinness and i was told i can have only one like I'm some 14 years old boy... I did order one and after 10 mins the bartender came back and said they don't have Bailey's and i just walked out at this point. Very unwelcoming atmosphere since we walked in to be fair , very poor service from staff and in general just a let down. Won't be stepping there again. I've been in hospitality most of my life and that's now how you make happy customers. Go to The Maze in Waltham abbey and you'll see the difference of service straight away

Despite booking over a week in advance online, my booking was cancelled a day before and then continuously cancelled automatically with no reason when trying to rebook. When calling the restaurant to ask why and if I book over the phone, the member of staff simply repeated ‘we are fully booked’. Completely unhelpful, no apology and a bad attitude. Seems to be similar issues below, and prioritising other bookings.

A few months ago I booked the upstairs function room for our baby shower. I found that Michelle (the staff member that handles events bookings) was very responsive when booking the venue but much less so thereafter. There are no formal viewings of the function room that you can arrange before the event. Instead we were told to walk-in and ask the restaurant staff to show us the space, only they are naturally very busy. So we had to view the space in a rushed fashion, and the restaurant staff were unable to answer any questions we had about event planning. We were also sent a video of the space floor plan but not all the furniture in the video is included in the space on the day. There is no capacity to plan what furniture you need - and we were told that we had to have the room how it was laid out on the day. On the day we found the room was not well cleaned. The furniture which has a velvet upholstery was covered in stains and glitter. I asked Michelle for a vacuum to try and clean the furniture myself - but this was never provided. And finally, I think I found the communication with Michelle quite abrupt and rude. The only way to contact her is through WhatsApp or by calling her mobile number. As I work full time - I would often message Michelle in the evenings/weekends. Naturally when messaging a business you expect them to pick up the query the next working day - so at no point was I expecting an immediate response or did I call her out-of-hours. However each time she would send me the message "please feel free to call or text me tomorrow during working hours to discuss," and seemed to expect me to resend the message. I found this bizarre because as a restaurant I was unsure what her "working hours" were as they do operate in evenings/weekends. Also, if you're providing your mobile as your only contact, then possibly just wait to respond when you're next "working." Otherwise possibly use an e-mail or an alternate work number to communicate with clients. Overall although the event went well - I wouldn't book another event here. I found organising the event with Michelle was unnecessarily stressful and unpleasant. I will say that the serving restaurant staff on the day were lovely. We also found that the food was a big hit and reasonably priced.

Where do I start? The food is delicious especially the lobster mac n cheese. Also, the Sunday roast did not disappoint. That said, my main concern is the booking process. Three times now in trying to make a reservation, it has either been cancelled or relocated. Having eaten here a couple of times and recommending it to friends, I was disappointed when arriving for Sunday lunch to find that my reservation had been double booked. More recently, my friend had booked for us and two days prior to this, was told that our booking had been moved to the Foresters due to another booking which quite frankly says everything. If you walk in and a table is available then enjoy! However if booking in advance then be prepared for disappointment.

Not a great experience. Three of the four dishes we tried to order were not available and then when they delivered another item they tried to pass it off as something else. When we queried it the manager came over and there were no apologies and she just wanted to know ‘if I was going to have it or not?!’. Strange service and the food that did come was not great.

Booked a 'day party' for my sisters baby shower. Dealt with Michelle from enquiry all the way through to the day of party. She was so helpful and answered all my questions swiftly, personal touch was her helping me find a singer for the party and recommending decoration people. She talked me through the day beforehand and came to meet me at the venue and welcome us in. So nice to support a small business when this is the service you get. food was 10/10 two men on the bar were fast and efficient room is spacious with full air con for the summer months great cocktails

NIGHTMARE! Trying to book the venue with Michelle the manager is like trying to turn water into wine!! Don't bother and look elsewhere! She's incredibly rude and unhelpful throughout the process. One word answers, limited information and then when I go to book the venue and pay for it she doesn't reply to me for over a week. By the time she does eventually get back to me she tells me the venue has gone and someone else has bought it leaving me completely stuck for my birthday!! Embarassing service. Honestly, there's so many other venues that are better and you won't have to put up with an incompetent person that's unreliable and not trust worthy. I'm clearly not the only person who's had issues with her looking at all of the reviews. BOOK ELSEWHERE.

I enquired about booking the upstairs for my birthday in early august for my birthday mid November. I was sent details about pricing and the tour straight away to which I said I was keen to book. I was also greatful at how quick Michelle got back to me, I asked if they take Amex to which I got a reply just saying ‘no’ I then asked if I could I put this booking in place as I was happy with how the venue looked (I used to party in this venue wayyy before it was the standard and back when it was ‘Luxe’ and ‘minx’ so was happy to have this as my 30th birthday venue. I asked if I could pay the venue hire fee on the Thursday ( This was the Tuesday) to which I got absolutely no reply. I then asked them to send over the bank details so I could make the transfer… no reply.. I text again asking if she had got my message about the transfer details. She replied with an abrupt message saying the date is gone because she gave it to someone else. When I questioned why, as I was asking for bank details and was keen to book in, ( She did not give me a sense of urgency or say at all about timings or other people were enquiring about this particular date) all I got was a rude and passive aggressive reply. Certainly says a lot that a lot of the reviews on here are about this woman’s people skills and being awfully rude. When I said this is not how you treat a potential customer who was waiting to pay the hire fee, (and the fact she didn’t even tell me I had to keep checking in) all I got was “ There is absolutely nothing wrong with our business” The humanly decent thing to do, is to reply to messages or at least say we cannot hold the venue for another 2 days, or I’m sorry if you don’t pay within X time I have to give this to someone else. There was nothing. Then to come back with a horrible message like that and not even an apology, her rude and abrupt manner has left me in tears all afternoon and stressed to high heavens about booking another venue. Absolutely horrific service, I work in customer service and would never speak to a potential customer like that or be rude and just not reply to messages. Think this manager needs a CPD course on people skills.

Went for Sunday lunch. Had the roast. Was very average , in fact not very good at all. Meat was tasteless. Roast potatoes were hard and seemed to be reconstituted. Carrot swede also bland. Cauliflower cheese was OK but seemed to be of the frozen-cooked type. Yorkie was huge but hard and cold. My partners main course - she said was horrible. First and last visit.

This is the second time we've visited the Standard. The first time was lovely so we took different friends again. Second visit not so enjoyable. The food is good, no complaints there and the service is also good. But they have a bar which is in the same area as the table for dining. There is also some couches in the window for people to sit and drink. There was a large party of very noisy women standing at the bar. They did not eat. The music was extremely loud. The door kept getting left open by customers and one of us had to keep getting up and closing it, the staff didn't seem to notice. Perhaps get a self closing returner on the door? Our table was right next to the bar (the only other tables that seated 4 were by the toilets!). The room is very dark, but the waitress was very accommodating and turned the lights up for us so we could see the menu! We seemed to be the only people all night who were actually eating. It was extremely difficult to have a conversation and we were shouting at each other all evening which was not very relaxing. I think The Standard need to decide whether they want to be a bar with loud music and drinking, or a restaurant, but it is too small to be both. It is probably fine for a lunch time meal but not the evening. Suffice to say we won't be returning on a Saturday night, which is a shame because the food is really good.

pretty tasty roast dinner - roast beef with all the trimmings (potatoes, veg, cauliflower cheese, carrot & swede mash and a yorkshire pudding) for only £19.50 - potatoes were really good, beef was tasty but a bit tough and they didn’t have any steak knives so quite hard to cut. yorkshire pudding was a bit burnt and didn’t taste like much. mocha didn’t have much coffee and the service was decent. all in all would probably recommend for a roast dinner as it is quite good value for money :))

I booked the upstairs function room for my 30th birthday and was sent a brochure with the different options of hire. I chose the full private hire, which stated that we would be allowed access to the roof terrace all night. Michelle sent a video of the venue which clearly included the terrace and this was a huge selling point for me. The night of the party we were not allowed on the roof terrace at all and were told it was closed. At no point during our communication was i advised the roof terrace was closed so advertising something that was unavailable. On arrival the toilets were blocked and clearly hadn't been cleaned, with no locks on the doors. To top it off, at the end of the night I was told that we had not met the minimum spend of £2k and ambushed with a bill of £400. They did not communicate to me at any point before the end of the party that we wasn't close to the minimum spend otherwise I would have paid it and told my guests the drinks are paid for the rest of the night. Instead I was ambushed at the very end of the night so that they basically take your money and don't want you to drink their alcohol either. When I tried to explain this to Michelle I was met with an unprofessional, disgusting, confrontational attitude. Overall disappointing experience as the confrontation I had to deal with the next day completely tainted a great night made by friends and family. Was not dealt with in a professional manner at all.

Beyond dismayed; angry and frustrated by the level of arrogance and downright rudeness of a so-called manager: having enjoyed an initial two-hour visit to work with my laptop open, I decided to take dinner and was appropriately relocated. Upon needing to depart the premises briefly and leaving my coat and luggage at the table, I was 100m down the street before being confronted security having not paid my bill; clearly a total lack of communication and awareness to which I wanted to bring to the managers attention upon my return. When doing so his attitude was less than professional, him clearly having his own dinner interrupted, chewing his food as he half-listened to my complaint and suggesting that his staff and the security personnel were from different parts of the organisation; like I would care. I found his scruffy presentation, lack of eye contact and flippant arrogance to be extremely off-putting. I cancelled my food order, removed the service charge, paid for my prior drinks and left for the final time. For me the same design experience and product offering can be found at CitizenM hotels where I stayed the previous evening and much preferred.

I have visited The Standard several times and am never disappointed. In my opinion it's the best place to go in Loughton, which has many other restaurants and bars to choose from. What makes The Standard different is how welcoming and attentive all of the staff are, from the waiting staff to the management too. The vibe on a Friday night was a great atmosphere and a young crowd both dining and drinking at the bar. We were a more "mature" group of four . Our waitress, whose name i did not catch was superb. I have met her several times and she is always so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and provides such great service so I wanted to mention her. Our food was totally delicious and we all ate a different main meal and could not fault any of them. We will be back!

My partner and I visited on a Saturday night. When we arrived there was only one wait staff serving the entire floor, so service was slow, but under the circumstances she did a fantastic job. Now to the food. The truffle parmesan bites (snacks but served alongside our starters) were fantastic. Unapologetically crispy on the outside with a liquid cheese centre, they were tiny but delicious. I had the avocado and tomato bruschetta to start, which was tasty, but the serving could have been better - the deliciously smooth avocado was deceptively only covering half the bread - not to the "standard" I would expect - and the tomatoes would have been better cut into bite-sized chunks instead of quarters. My partner's lobster and prawn toasts were lovely. However both servings were almost main course sized, which was too much. For main I had the chicken schnitzel, which was overall one of the stranger combinations of plated elements I've come across in a restaurant. For starters, it was NOT a schnitzel, which is a cutlet beaten very thin and then breaded, it was merely a regular breaded chicken breast (and quite dry). It was topped with a slightly overcooked and wholly unnecessary fried egg. Then it was accompanied by some nicely cooked but incongruous Cajun roasted new potatoes, and most oddly a wedge salad - a quarter iceberg lettuce with bacon Caesar dressing. Quite how those things all belong on a plate together is a mystery. My partner had the truffle mac and cheese, which as a mac and cheese was very good, but didn't really taste of truffle. The accompanying cocktails were largely very good. I tend to judge a bar by its mojito, and this was among the better I've had. Overall a little hit and miss

Took minimum of 30mins from ordering a drink to having it served on a table, considering the restaurant was only half full, was shocked.. The staff were clueless the cocktails were watered down the waitresses were clueless. For the money spent it was a joke!! NEVER EVER AGAIN.

I read this in another review and can't believe its happened to me also, i booked for 7 people and payed a deposit of £35 to which they never took off the bill. Ive spoken to the staff and they said they will get back to me, its been a week and they have avoided my number but have answered my husbands. disregarding my calls and taking my money, for the sake of £35 they have lost a customer and many others.

Faultless experience here last week. Connor was our main waiter and he said was fantastic. Attentive, helpful and thoughtful at every stage. On top of that the food was brilliant quality and the atmosphere was lovely. Booked this as my backup as where I wanted to go was fully booked and I'm very happy about how it ended up. 11/10. Will definitely return

I recently booked The Standard after checking the website. Sunday lunch was £9 a head and a veggie option. When we got there, The music was too loud, hard to talk. The veggie option was just veg..with veg! The prices were much higher than website. We asked to turn music down a bit and was told No! We walked out. Went somewhere else and had lovely lunch

Just returned from a roast Sunday all I can say disappointing. This place needs to decide if they want to turn this place into nightclub/ bar or a restaurant. Asked twice to turn the music down they did but then cranked it up. This place...

Great Sunday roast, big portions, beef was good quality and cooked perfectly, Yorkshire pudding was massive but sadly overcooked, some times less is more. Great service with a smile, dog friendly, lovely atmosphere - will definitely be back

THIEVES. We came for a night out a few weeks ago on a Saturday and had to pay a deposit of £30 for the 6 of us upon reservation. Once we got there, we were doing pay as you go, received no receipts from staff nor did anyone highlight that our deposit will be taken off our round of drinks. We emailed asking for our deposit to be refunded the next day, to which we got replied that 'it was already taken off' (when it wasn't) and that we need proof of physical receipts as our bank statements aren't enough apparently. They've done this TWICE and other friends have told me about having the same problem. Disgusting behaviour from management. Will not be coming back ever.
