The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Our accommodation was elsewhere and food not good so went here. This review is purely on food and bar services, we came here for meals, breakfast and evening meal. There were some builder in the indoor spaces doing some work but they were not disturbing us. Breakfast lady a little unsure of what her job is, i wanted to swap egg and bacon off 1 breakfast for extra slice of toast and a Rosti, NOPE NO SWAPS she was happy to leave them off my plate but then wanted to charge extras for toast and rosti, so I said forget it, just do 3 normal breakfast but put egg and bacon on a separate plate off one of breakfasts. Then next morning builders were again present around the indoor area and had to turn electric off briefly, before we arrived, then as we walked through door, same lady from yesterday morning was flapping and saying tills have gone down, she can't turn them on as she'll get into trouble, she kept repeating this to the builder blokes, who were telling her to just turn the switch back on and they would boot up, needless to say one of builders flicked the switch and tills rebooted up. Then she was waffling on about not my computer, I'm not allowed to switch them on. Honestly she was hard work. In the evenings Alan and Sarah were very attentive and a delight when we came for our evening meal for 3 nights. Food delicious and definitely worth shouting about. Bar prices reasonable too. Thank you

Absolutely love the steak and ale pie from here, best one I've ever had

Great place for a beer, they had Guinness zero cans, and they had Lucky Star on draft.

Nice pub. Food was decent and unpretentious, staff were really good. Good atmosphere and a nice location. Can't fault it.

I know late for Sunday lunch 4.45 food was Luke warm roast potato’s just dipped in hot oil no t 😌

Restaurant has a very varied menu and changes regularly. We had rack of baby pork ribs. Meat was amazing and fell off the bone. Reasonable prices and well stocked bar. Creme brulee to finish was also very good. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

Fantastic food staff and atmosphere go here for Sunday lunch you won't be disappointed 😋

That's our favourite local pub where we are going out most of the time during sunny days. The reason is that they have one of the best bear gardens around. You also have the bar in the garden, which opens every Friday and Saturday with the best views around the beautiful countryside where you can see the horses and even local rabbits.

Great service, very happy, always recommended

Rural setting adds to the appeal of this charming pub. Food was good. Service was efficient but not as engaging as could have been. A solid 4 stars. Recommended.

This is our favourite pub when we visit the area . The food is top grade, and the atmosphere and feel to the place, very welcoming. If you in the area, you must stop and try.. if your lucky, they will have the steak and cheese pie on the special

Best pub in loughton food amazing staff unreal 👌

Popular place in town day or night. Always a band on at the weekend or there's the challenge of karaoke on Thursday evenings. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. They're very personable and the main reason I like going in there. I've not had the food there myself but I've never heard anything bad about it, I like to do my own food at home, that's my own choice and nothing to do with the wagon.

What is there not to like. Most amazing takeaway pizzas ever. Lovely staff. Great atmosphere

Had a wonderful carvery with my family today.Jake and the team excellent service as always
