| I was sorry to hear about the last posters experience -mine has been very different.I have known the manager Jim now for over a year through the generous Charity support he gives to our local primary school .He has always been a perfect gentleman and extremely helpful.Several of our parents have eaten at the Carvery and rated it very highly. Although I'm not local to Loughton ,I have supped with the locals and even as a lone lady found the atmosphere very welcoming and friendly ,and there was a lot of good natured banter and laughter going on. I'd certainly recommend it. scottydog - 22 Jun 2009 14:40 |
| Having enjoyed the Carvery on a previous occasion, I returned with my family the following weekend (a Saturday). As there are no other menus other than the carvery on display in the restaurant, I brought along some fruit, a yoghurt and a small sandwich for my two young children aged 2 and 3. I always do this as a back up, as it enables me (and other restaurant users) to eat in peace if they are hungry and there is no other alternatives available that they would eat. We had eaten like this on the previous visit and everything had been fine. This time I was approached by the waitress and asked not to use our food, as they had noticed we had done this previously - I asked if I could provide them some fruit and explained that they were eating bits from our plates that we had purchase, and similarly drinks for them from the bar. However, we felt uncomfortable eating our meals afterward and I asked to speak to the manager to explain. I explained we had previously enjoyed our food and attempted to say I felt embarrassed if there had been an issue the first time which hadn't been addressed. I explained that there wasn't other options available and the manager said there was a bar menu. I said that this was not displayed anywhere in the restaurant section, nor was I offered an alternative when asked not to provide my own food. I would have gladly ordered from this menu, had I been aware of it. At this point the manager said 'I can't be 'f***ed' talking to you' and walked away. I was very upset as I had been speaking calmly and politely and had actually enjoyed the food we had eaten! I asked the waitress if she would ask him to return, which he did after saying to the pub side of the bar 'it's sorted'. I tried to resume our conversation, but he walked away again saying 'speak to the manager' (which he is). Needless to say I was very disappointed with his attitude over what was simply an oversight that there were other options available. I have never been into the pub-side (due to the children) nor eaten there and I re-checked the carvery/restaurant menus and there is nothing to suggest other meals are available. An unfortunate end to a family meal. Clark1 - 4 Apr 2009 14:45 |

| I have to say I particularly enjoy going to this pub,for just a quiet daytime drink or on Friday nights for the Rock covers bands. There has previously been a lack of decent live music in the area,so until the Churchill changed owners there was absolutely nothing to do locally. Halloween down there showed the full potential of the place,the Band,Replica were brilliant. The atmosphere was great from the minute we got there,people were up dancing,having a genuinely good time and Most people in there had gone to a big effort to dress up for the occasion! Most friday nights are in there are a really good night,with entertainment on hand as well as some lovely bar staff,and a good Guv. The area of the carvery is now looking good,so I'm looking forward to eating in there. If I'm going out locally there is nowhere else I'd rather be. rocknrollroni - 21 Nov 2007 22:09 |
| The Churchill is not perfect I agree but give this pub a chance. It has just been taken over by new management and things are happening. The riff raff are on their way out! Friday nights are a must for a start. Some weeks the customers put the bands to shame as they are few and far between cos they're all outside having a fag. I have been made to feel very welcome by the staff and some of the bands 'East of Java', 'Expose', 'Hedgehog' are top quality. So if you're a bit of a rock chick check it out! And watch the rating if they can keep up the improvements this pub could be going up in the ratings! happy_days - 25 Oct 2007 00:06 |
