The best restaurants in Loughton St John's Epping Forest East of England

Staff friendly. Enjoyed our bacon sandwich and early bird breakfast.

Indian restaurant within a golf club. Modern and chic deco. View from restaurant to the green was peaceful and relaxing.

Great food as always, service e with a smile or laugh. Order on the phone ,always ready for collection my favorite take away in loughton

Started with a couple of really good real ales - Directors I believe! Not had a pint that good for ages - most landlord have no idea about real ale and concentrate on selling chemicals! Progressed to multiple starters like we usually do and all were very good not greasy like some deep fried starters you get elsewhere - prawn satay was excellent! Its a nice little restaurant and the service was lovely! Then instead of sticking to lots of starters as normal we decided to go for main course - we shared a crab rice but I ordered the seafood curry which whilst a very nice seafood stew didnt seem to have any Thai spices or flavours in it and not really a curry - bit disappointing really - should have stuck to the starters!! Will probably go back and keep to the starters Reasonable price - difficult to get a phone signal to order a cab home!

Amazing service from FOH Ellie, she made sure our family was okay and food was delicious. Thank you Ellie for a fantastic experience!

This pub has a great view and is perfect after a walk in the forest. The staff here accommodated our rather large, and sometimes demanding! group, perfect. Emma was fantastic at looking after us in a friendly, hard working way. In fact all the staff were brilliant. This is possibly one of the most Christmassy pubs I’ve ever been in. Food was good and our group had a perfect Sunday Xmas meal there. Definitely recommended.

Living in this area over forty years we have used this pub since it was a proper pub and witnessed all the changes throughout the years . We arrived at 1pm to find there was no ale available. All four pumps were turned off. The staff appeared to be disinterested about any availability of having any put on. Is this through mismanagement, incompetence or is this pub not wanting to cater for all customers needs? Usually some ales may be out or not ready but to have none is mot acceptable.

Great local pub, lively, warm, good Sunday roasts, good value, and great service. Really enjoyed our visit.
