The 30 Best Cozy dining in Loughton

“Amazing service, super friendly, great prices and food is always good”

“Great experience, we went with 11 people and it was a lovely meal. We all had starters which came out pretty much at the same time and then all our mains came out at the same time. We used Tesco vouchers and had no issue when using them. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the meal. I would come back during lunch time.”

“Can’t fault the food here. The lunch menu is great value. For £12 for two courses, you can’t go wrong. My chicken Shish was as good as any Turkish restaurant around. Very nice waiter, excellent wine. Can’t understand why it’s not more popular”

“Good staff , really helpul and good service”

“Bought this giant monster for lunch today. Damn! It hit the spot! And price was really good too. Only £6.95. Would definitely go back again to try more items!”

“Perfect Choice is the best chicken shop in the local area. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the wait times are very short. I couldn’t recommend it more.”

“My first meal in London couldn't have been more delightful, thanks to this charming brunch place on High Street. The ambiance is bright and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a wonderful experience. The brunch menu is simply amazing, offering a variety of colorful dishes that are not only visually appealing but also generously portioned. I had the pleasure of trying the egg shakshuka, potato rosti, avocado smash toast, matcha cappuccino, and pancakes. Among these, the egg shakshuka and matcha cappuccino stood out as my favorites. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the presentation was top-notch. I also want to mention the fantastic staff who were incredibly helpful with the menu and provided quick, attentive service throughout my visit.”

“Visited this evening for the first time. Lovely authentic food. Excellent friendly service. You could taste all the flavours and freshness of all the ingredients. Will be recommending to my friends and family, and definitely visiting again. Its not local to us (About 7-8 miles) but definitely worth the trip. We had Tikka , Korma and Butter Chicken, with the best naan breads ive ever tried. The mince samosas we had as a starter were also crisp and lovely and not greasy or overpowering at all. Gem of a place!”

“Thos place is great I come here a fair bit, the food is good, the stafg are good the choice is good. As cafes go this one has to up near the top of the list.”

“Absolutely wonderful place! A large group of us needed an open,welcoming space with delicious well priced food & we found The Lounge! Nothing was too much trouble. We went 2 weeks on the trot as a large group they reserved the back seating for us. Such lovely ladies who served us. Friendly & caring! It's my new favourite place to eat when in the area. Thankyou ladies for both Fridays incredible lunches”

“Thank you Vic and staff for the lovely memories. Such a great job on our special day, it felt like there was way more food than we organised, great atmosphere and service. All the family and friends fell the same. From Gio and Bobbie”

“Nice cafe and good prices happy to add on and take stuff off food is good quality and staff are professional and friendly will 100% come back”

“Lovely cosy little cafe with great staff . If you want a light snack This is the place to go rather than the big superstore . Great coffee and a small but healthy range of snacks.”

“Smashing place friendly staff, very pleasant place to be. Ideal location if you want to go for a walk and then get a decent cuppa and a snack before you head for home. Public toilets nearby.”

“We are regular and getting to know some of the regulars. Enjoy a sausage sandwich burger or healthy sandwich. For your doggy friends sausage for them too Now winter we can only come weekends. But it is open from 9 everyday CASH ONLY. Still customers looking bewildered when they are told. It is written on the counter and one on the menu board. Seating outside only. But Brolly on almost all tables.”

“We held our work Christmas Party here last night (38 people!). I can't say enough good things about it. From the whole booking process through to the brilliant service on the night, the team at TD&H did an exceptional job. The food was delicious and came out perfectly timed (not easy with a party of 38), the drinks never stopped flowing, there were plenty of staff to look after us and (icing on the cake) there was great live entertainment after the meal, which meant we felt like it was a proper party. Thanks so much to the team - we are really grateful for a wonderful evening.”

“Harry was great at serving us at the table. He managed our order so well and he even arranged for a nice birthday sparkler for us. Thank you Harry, exceptional service !”

“Amazing food every single time, cooked with love & care. They always take great care about allergens. Very fairly priced Best Indian food in loughton by far”

“It was my first time visiting this shop and I can tell you that it was the Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Very friendly staff and clean shop. Well done guys. Will visit again”

“Really good food and perhaps the best jerk chicken I had in my life. The prices are quite reasonable and can be seen online. The only downside is their service is really really slow and it took us 45 mins to be served out food and it was missing the sauces and sides when it was served to us. Still a five star since the food was so good and the decoration was really well thought out.”

“Unbelievable food! Proper home cooked meal for good value 100% will be back for some winter grub. Good choice of drinks, wine glasses aren’t the best if you’re a wine glass snob like me but other than that can’t complain at all. Really nice pub we will be back. Staff are really friendly but had to ask twice for the bill and still ended up paying at the bar. Only negative to say.”

“A really nice cosy pub with 2 bars, plenty of outside seating. Efficient, friendly staff. Plenty of parking at front n rear where pots of beautful plants lined the area. Doesnt do food but good place to meet, talk n drink. Will definitely return”

“Came to the owl yesterday, 5 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog, such a beautiful pub, excellent food and drinks and lovely service too, the staff were so friendly towards the kids, even helping them to get the free dog treats from the bar!! We Will definitely be coming back in the new year, really lovely family pub, great atmosphere.”

“Saturday afternoon pub lunch in the sun with the kids. 2 adult meals and 2 kids meals came to about £40 without drinks, which I felt was really reasonable. I had the tandoori chicken skewers and it was absolutely delicious. Came with fries, hot sauce, tatziki, grains and salad. Couldn't fault it. My partner had the sea bass which she loved and was a nice healthier option too. Also tried the chocolate brownie which was to die for.”

“Went for Sunday lunch. They didn't do food but gave great advice to local places that do. Sat in the spacious garden and enjoyed a lovely cold beer in the sun. Friendly staff and customers.”

“Itziar was extremely helpful. A real pleasure to deal with. She let me know about the app and potential rewards so saved me a few quid too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or pizza express on loughton. The food was ace.”

“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.”

“Awesome place! I cannot recommend this place enough. We're so glad that we came across it and decided to check it out. The food was AMAZING and the buffalo wings were so delicious. The Cali loaded fries are THE BEST. But putting all that aside, the service was by far the best we've experience in London! Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is just another level. Special shout-out to Miguel who served us and explained everything as it was our first time. We don't live local, but we'd definitely drive back to that specific branch for the awesome and friendly service. Thanks guys.”

“Back in the area, decided to pick up something for the family. Food is spot on as before. It was nice to see the original owner is still working the kitchen.”
