We have not tried the food here but the beer is always very good, me and my buddy are fans of ales and the selection there is away from the generic choices normally offered in pubs therefore it is a welcome relief. I also like their loyalty cards where after buying 6 pints you get the 7th free. The pub has a cosy welcoming feel for families and they offer pub food also. Furthermore the pub also has free wifi. It's a nice establishment and the best choice in an area lacking good alternatives.

Although I think she got the clue when I insistenly repeated "Are you sure you don't fancy Mcdonalds?". The Bluebell was worth it. It's a bit like The Ivy, but a more local place. It's small and has the feeling of a little cottage place. They serve traditional British meals; but they're rather perfect in their execution of cooking the meals. Not a lot to say here as the food was all top notch and I have very little to complain about. Damnit, I prefer complaining!.

I particularly like the homely feel of the pub none more so when we used so much glassware they came and had to wash our glasses to serve our next round of drinks! Would Recommend it especially as it has a lovely fireplace ideal for a chilly evening to keep you cosy and warm!

The pub also serves food and the menu shows good variety, though is aimed more at meat eaters, with few vegetarian options. The desserts are lovely, lots of fruit crumbles, puddings and a cheeseboard. There is a motel attached to the pub and as the location is a stone's throw from the countryside, it would make an ideal place for a short break. So if you're ever in Essex (stranger things have happened) and fancy some home comforts, you really must give The 3 Jolly Wheelers a try!

Sierra Nevada is a mainstay. The food menu is long and varied, and the fare I've tried was respectable, albeit a bit spendy given this is zone 4. On the subject of cost, I should say I would have liked to see the prices about a pound or two cheaper for many main courses. And the 10-pound round for two pints of ale did give me a bit of sticker shock given this pub's almost-Essex location. I guess it IS located in yummy mummy Wanstead valley, though. All in all, the pub has good food, good booze and plenty of inviting seating areas and a vast beer garden. On my two weekend visits, it's always been buzzing. If you're in your 30s and living in Wanstead, it's where you're going to end up eating and drinking at the weekend. If you're visiting friends who are the aforementioned, you'll be happy here too.

This pub is great in summer as there is lots of benches and outdoor seating area, just try to get one that is on the flat area and not on the hill, it's a different experience eating on a slant =P I didn't order much food, just a bowl of olives and some fruit cider. My friend ordered a prawn cocktail, she said it was very nice. The menu is pretty extensive and there are a variety of dishes for vegetarians, the only down side for me was that their selection of salads didn't really exist (that made me sad). Great atmosphere though and very pretty inside, if you are looking for somewhere to hang out this is the place to come.

There are singers singing pop, folk etc songs. There is plenty of dancing etc. The atmosphere is fantastic. excellent for Romantic evenings out or going out with the family. It caters for birthday parties etc. The service is first class. The set menu is incredible, the meze is so large it fills the whole table!!!, the main meal is grilled meats, poultry etc with rice & salad. It is really a lovely night out for Romantics (with music playing in the background) or for groups who want to have a good meal with some dancing all for a good price. Its a Good Value evening out.. (Parking is on street)..... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (If you are on facebook check it out en-gb.facebook.com/cyprusmezebar).

I'd been to this restaurant before about 4 years ago midweek and remembered the food was really…read moregood and so plentiful that I couldn't manage it all (which is not like me!). As I'm about to move away from East London for a quieter life in Hampshire, I decided this would be the best place locally to have my last supper. I wasn't wrong. I booked a table for 5 on a Saturday night I didn't book it until late afternoon but they were able to accommodate us. It's a set menu only on a Saturday night (I forgot to ask how much that was but it worked out, including wine, beer and a couple of spirits to around £30 per head). For that you get meze starters cold starters such as taramasalata, hummus, delicious aubergine bake thing etc with constantly topped up fresh sesame seeded bread and more dishes being brought out, then hot starters such as cheese & spinach filo parcels, little lamb kofte kebabs, breadcrumbed fish, grilled haloumi etc. By now you're quite full (especially if you overdid it on the fresh bread with your hummus) and you think it must be the end, when you're told you can order more (as much as you like) meze starters, it's all included in the set price. So you order more of your favourite items. And then, when you are well and truly stuffed, you are brought out your rather large main meal! Mine & my friends were a mixed grill & salad with lamb, herbed sausage (and I can't remember what the 3rd thing was but it was delicious anyway) and I'd already advised when I booked that my brother's family were vegetarian / ate fish so theirs was 2 fabulously cooked melt in the mouth swordfish steaks. And finally, after all that, we were brought out 2 large platters of very refreshing fresh fruit slices (kiwi, pineapple, grapes etc). The waiter & waitress looking after our area were excellent and very attentive always on duty watching, without being obvious, when any table had finished a dish / needed topping up or someone wanted them to come over, and the atmosphere, with the Turkish live music / singing was happy, fun and relaxed like a family party. It was a real ideal family restaurant and I'm kind of kicking myself for not going more often before I moved away!

Situated inside the Marriott Hotel Waltham Abbey, this restaurant is where breakfast, lunch and…read moredinner is served. For hotel guests there are a range of breakfast options from continental to low fat to full English unlimited buffet etc. Needless to say, I always take the unlimited! Dinner had a good range of options- I usually take one of the grilled steaks, and the food is usually very good here. Dining is in an ambient large room with an open kitchen. Service unfortunately can be hit and miss though, as it can get quite busy as this is the only place to eat around here.
