Very happy with the warm welcome, good food and service we received at The Owl. Thank you.
The Owl – LoughtonCame here on Saturday with some family and friends for a long overdue catch up. Table of 10 and we all had a fantastic time The food was a hit and tasted amazing. I had the owl burger, which was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time and at a very reasonable price. Had our newborn with us too and they were very accomadation with a good location to store the pram out the way etc Staff, top tier the whole time we were there and very friendly. No complaints from all, definitely be coming back in the summer to enjoy the outside parts (which also look great)
The Owl – LoughtonWe absolutely love it after an Epping dog walk. Always so friendly, nice food and super cosy atmosphere. Our favouritr.
The Owl – LoughtonNot impressed at all. The place was crazy busy, so many screaming kids. Table not ready. Made to feel rushed when we did sit down. Too top things off the food was rubbish, the Brockley & potatoes were hard! Not going back.
The Owl – LoughtonLovely family meal - very quiet in the pub for a Friday evening but the food was great, service was great and it was actually nice being in a quiet atmosphere! Definitely recommend this pub and we will visit again!
The Owl – LoughtonHad a great meal here for my Nan's 80 something birthday. The staff were great and were very helpful. We had brought a cake for my Nan and the staff quickly took this from us so that it would remain a surprise, a brought it out with all the candles in as well as with a knife and plates for us to enjoy it in the pub. A great experience!
The Owl – LoughtonExcellent meal, food came quickly, hot and well cooked and presented. Good value for money. Good menu. The only things we didn't enjoy were the scary Halloween decorations, which I wouldn't have wanted my young grandchildren to see,and the large dog at the table next to us which put it's paws up on the table and licked plates which is not hygienic and bacteria from a dogs mouth aren't always killed in a dishwasher, which put me off my food a bit.
The Owl – LoughtonGreat place to stop for lunch while having a walk through Epping Forest. Roasts were really good and staff were friendly and attentive. A couple of desserts were cold on the inside which was a little disappointing. But would highly recommend visiting. Warm, cozy, dog friendly and very welcoming.
The Owl – LoughtonOnce again a lovely family meal at the Owl, great service, great food and a great atmosphere, can’t wait to go back!
The Owl – LoughtonI had booked a table for 14 family members . The food was OK but not very hot. 2 meals arrived but the other 12 diners had a bit of a wait to receive their meals. The service personnel were pleasant and efficient in dealing with requests.
The Owl – LoughtonLovely pub with good food and a great relaxed atmosphere.
The Owl – LoughtonWe sat in the glass extension area; cross between inside and out which I thought was really good. Nice food and very friendly staff. Well done! Good time at a reasonable price.
The Owl – LoughtonWent for a birthday lunch with my dad; really enjoyed the food but was disappointed by the service and decor- such a shame because I do love The Owl. We arrived and were seated at our table, then didn’t hear from a waitress. Ourselves and another table went up to the bar to order our food. The food was fantastic & great portion sizes! The restaurant allow access to dogs, which is great however the seat covers need to be cleaned! The bench I sat on was full of trodden in mud & there was an awful smell. Such a shame as it’s got so much potential- refurb is needed!
The Owl – LoughtonCame for Sunday roast and a lovely lunch. Definitely good value for money given the size of the portion, my only critique would be my plate had 2 whole solid carrots which was a lot to try eat - everyone else seemed to have 2 long halves. Very quick service too.
