Best International Restaurants in Loughton

Very friendly welcome and shown to table straight away. Place was very busy for a Thursday night but felt instantly welcome, and a good vibe to the place. Waiter/server was really helpful and explained the menu to us in great detail, with recommendations on portion size. Good range of drinks and prompt delivery. We didn’t like the sound of part of the starter, but they were happy to change bits for us. We had the All In, which was a selection of skinny chops, pork, lamb and beef served on bread, so it soaks up the juices! All cooked to perfection and bloody delicious! We had the best beef dripping chips I’ve ever tasted and a coal baked sweet potatoes that was jaw droppingly tasty! The garlic bone marrow was excellent, and the Blacklock gravy was full of flavour! I bucked the trend on dessert and plumped for pigs head on toast which was on the starters list. Enjoyed every mouthful and the server had put a candle in it as it was my Birthday! Good music playing in the background which wasn’t too loud. This place is an absolute gem and also welcomes well behaved dogs! Will definitely be making another visit to try other menu items!

Always exceptional dining. The Sunday roast is unmatched to that of any others we have sought in search of the perfect roast. So much so that we recently visited the Heston Blumenthal’s establishment [The Hinds Head] in Bray for a Sunday roast, and whilst the lunch was faultless, we and accompanying friends believe it didn’t match that of the Gables.

Excellent seated on time and food, staff and ambiance was excellent

A very enjoyable afternoon tea for my three sisters and me for my youngest sister’s 50th birthday. We loved the decor, friendly relaxed service and atmosphere. We stayed for drinks before going to ABBA Voyage and felt very welcome. We intend to return with other family members in the near future.

Great place, with a good vibe , & fantastic service
