Reviews in Loughton

We ordered ceasar salad pizza & fries,the fries were amazing the pizza was good too but the ceasar salad were not as good as last years ones they were smaller and chicken was cheap with no flavour for the price£15.staff friendly & as always outside was lovely.

Had a great afternoon at The Owl for Father’s Day with my family and our dog. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Menu options were great, service was brilliant and even had a dog menu for our pooch. Lots of space outside and inside. Will definitely be back.

I booked the owl for my husband’s birthday lunch and my parents came with us, my parents each had the fish and chips and my husband and I the Korean bbq half chicken. The portions were large but very good. We sat outside because it was a nice day but we’re sheltered by the lovely old trees. All staff were really friendly and helpful. The water otter is still there!

The food (roast dinner) was not nice at all. Which is a shame as the reviews were very good for this place, it came out after an hour which is fine because it was busy but when it arrived it was cold, the potatoes were impossible to cut and it was just so dry.

Came for a meal on Father’s Day - service wasn’t too bad considering how busy it was. Three of us had roasts and all felt the green veg was raw and inedible. The potatoes had an almost impenetrable shell, as if they’d been kept warm a very long time. The meat was ok but not sure I’d return for a roast. One of us had a meal with chips and they were the happiest, so that’s probably the way to go. Really did enjoy how dog friendly is it, and the dog menu is a lovely touch. Dog enjoyed his meal very much.

Nice visit for Father’s Day. Service was good, even though staff were incredibly busy. Food was mainly good. The green veg options, broccoli & savoy cabbage, with Sunday dinner options were basically uncooked and very difficult to eat. Whole party attempted but gave up. Rest was great. We didn’t raise it because everything else was ok and it wasn’t a game changer. Had better meals there.

Meal was ok had sea bass could have done with a few more potatoes. Liked table service like you used to have.

We went on a Sunday , and the food was great especially the Sunday roast ,service was really good and friendly , overall a lovely experience

We loved our visit to the Owl, second time we’ve been and we will come back again, especially on sunny days for the children to play on the lawn and in the play area. The Sunday roasts were good - the vegan nut roast was delicious but we served with a non vegan Yorkshire pud and the potatoes were a bit over done. But overall it was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Roast Chicken was tough and overcooked. Roast potatoes were soggy and not enough of them. Plate was dominated by ridiculously large Yorkshire pudding. Not much gravy. Worst Sunday roast I have had for a long time.

It's was a basic roast. The lamb was difficult to cut and when I went cold it was like tissue paper. Nice potatoes and veg and absolutely love the Yorkshire pudding

The camembert sharer came out cold and hard on the inside so was sent back. It was returned about 4 minutes later still not fully cooked. The salmon was over cooked , and the pak choi was cooked within an inch of its life.

First visit and very impressed. Good service and food. Excellent portions for adults and children. Loved the location and views. Very clean toilets too. Will return

Another visit to The Owl and not disappointed again. Food fantastic and service too. We travel quite a distance to come back to this place and probably pass numerous other places but will continue to do so.

Good food, the granddaughters enjoy it and nice staff

Food and service was lovely,!great atmosphere! Marie was very welcoming

Excellent service, friendly staff. The food was hot although my brother said his broccoli was a little underdone.
