5 stars for Loughton golf club and pan Asian restaurant

Review of Loughton golf club and pan Asian restaurant from 28 November 2012

This place is only a few minutes from the busy Loughton high road.
Think ! small friendly, wooden country guest house, with beautiful green views.

The dining room is an average size with glass patio doors which run along the whole length of the room, giving you the most fabulous green views of the golfing greens and trees
.
My partner and I sat by the window looking at the sun going down, while sipping Champagne, completely relaxed as if we were hundreds of miles away from Loughton, on holiday..
They played very relaxing background music at just the perfect volume.

The service is excellent, the food is very good, try the ”snake bite” as a starter, there are other dishes on the menu not just curry, the lamb was excellent.

The food and wine prices are very reasonable, the food is always fresh and so very tasty.
It gets busy so make sure you book early.

4 stars for Loughton golf club and pan Asian restaurant

Review of Loughton golf club and pan Asian restaurant from 7 June 2012

As we got out of the car in the middle of nowhere, my dining companions looked as me as if this time I had finally lost my mind. I had promised them a tasty restaurant I'd read about online, and instead they were staring balefully at a dodgy-looking car park.

Undefeated, I led the way to the building. It is a golf clubhouse on the outside, but inside there are a few surprises. Not least the incredible Indian spiced cod loin, but I will come to that.

Through a couple of innocuous doors my redemption awaited: a small friendly restaurant with two large doors open to the golf course as the sun set. I expect most reviewers might plump for the words "hidden gem" at this point, but I settled for the looks of relief on the faces of my fellow diners.

The place is run by Tony and Joanne, a very personable husband-and-wife pair who have renovated the 9 hole course over the last 2 years. The restaurant has opened over the past few months.

Happily you don't need to play golf or be a member to eat here, so we dived into the menu, which had a distinctly northern Indian feel. It also offered some European dishes for less adventurous palates. The chefs will also cook indian dishes that aren't on the menu, so we went for a Tarka Dall on the side.

We were ready for a nice dinner, but we weren't expecting the high-end restaurant fare that graced the plates placed in front of us. Appealingly presented without being too fussy, our mouths watered and our conversation dried up as we feasted contentedly on some of the best Indian food I had eaten in years. The cod loin was the star of the night, though my meat eating cohorts were also impressed with the lamb shank and chicken tikka stuffed roti bread.

All of us agreed the food was unbelievably tasty, beautifully presented and thoughtfully served. Main course prices range from around £6-16. If I ate the cod every time, I would count this place as a treat as opposed to a regular haunt. The verdict? A pleasant surprise - we think the place definitely merits a return visit, not just for the food, but for the incredible service and lovely atmosphere. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5? Dessert is yet to be sampled.

So yes, that car park (which really wasn't that dodgy) will be revisited, not with trepidation, but instead with joyous expectation - and, this time, a suitably empty stomach.
