Been here a few times and the experience has always been amazing, the food is spot on and professionally presented which alongside the serving staff makes it a fantastic. Also note the proprietor / chef is so passionate about the business it shines through in his approach to the dining experience

Just had Sunday lunch at The Aviary Loughton. Whilst it might not be the cheapest in the area, it is certainly the best Sunday roast I have ever eaten.

Very slow service even though there were only two other tables dining. The atmosphere was dead on a Saturday evening. Two drinks I requested were unavailable. The lobster was way too salty and the steak chewy. Was very disappointed and won’t be going back unfortunately.

Enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. It’s quite dark in there so difficult to see what you’re eating. Will definitely go back.

We had a great experience at The Aviary in Loughton. It was busy with a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was attentive and absolutely amazing — we really felt well looked after. We weren’t rushed at all, which gave the whole visit a relaxed and enjoyable feel. The food was fantastic, and we genuinely enjoyed every part of our meal. It’s clear this is a family-run business, and you can feel the care that goes into everything. Definitely worth a visit!

Such a lovely restaurant and always fabulous food. A bit of a shame today that when booking no one said it was a roast only set menu, the roast was delicious but would have liked to have been told.

I went with my two friends who always have lunch in Loughton eatery every Saturday. I suggested Aviary to try. On entering I was well greeted and showed me to my seating The restaurant ambient was relaxing and the sitting arrangements was very comfortable We ordered the Liver, Fish and Slow cooked Belly Pork. Food tasted excellent and the portion was pretty good for the price.

The food was wonderful. The ambience was lovely as were the staff. I think the restaurant should have asked us pre-order as a party of six in a lunchtime the wait was long but well worth it for fresh cooked on demand food.

We went on Tuesday steak night and the deal was excellent. We shared a scallop starter, then both had the 900grm ribeye medium rare. One of us had the red wine jus and the other the peppercorn sauce. The steak was perfect served with crisp fries and we ordered a green salad on the side. This was washed down with a reasonably priced Malbec from Argentina. The steaks are normally £30 each but on steak night only £20 a pop. Will definitely be returning as the service was also excellent.

Food was excellent although only 3 prawns as a starter was a bit miserly, would have expected 4/5 really for £12. Main of fish of the day was ex relent but again overpriced at £30 for fish and potato albeit with a very good sauce. If it was £8 and £25 I’d have been happier to even add some veg! My hubby’s calves lived was very good. Overall lovely ambience although not very busy for 8pm on a Saturday. Good background music and the restaurant has been refurbished very well. Give it a go if you’re not ‘with kids’.
