We had the fish n chips lunch. We were pulled by both steam and diesel locos. The whole day was so good. There is plenty to see in the way of old locos and memorabilia. It's definitely worth the visit. We started our journey at North Weald where parking is available onside and surrounding area.

A lovely little steam railway. Lots of helpful, friendly volunteers, all smartly suited and booted. We joined at Ongar but soon found out about parking difficulties eventually finding a place in the library public car park a few minutes down the road. A quick jog back to catch our steam-pulled train through a couple of miles of Essex countryside, just a few minutes stop at North Weald before returning on the same train this time pulled by a diesel loco. We liked the Thomas-lookalike engine, the good signage, helpful volunteers and the pretty countryside over our short ride. Quite expensive but we expect it costs a lot to run a railway. Recommended.

Went on the railway for the first time today for the Halloween event and was so impressed with the whole experience. All the staff were absolutely amazing and the train and old London buses were brilliant. Will be back for a general ride and also the Christmas event. Thank you to everyone who helped make our day so enjoyable

The day out gets five stars - but - to get the most of the visit I’d recommend using both the trains and the buses. The ticket covers both and the 339 bus is a great ride. On the day we visited trains were not serving Epping Forest meaning a long wait at North Weald, but the 339 filled this in perfectly. The train journey was great, very relaxing and the vast Essex countryside gives weight to this - incredible to think that this was part of the tube many years ago! There is so much history on display, from representing the Great Eastern Railway, to the LNER, right up to British Rail and of course London Transport. This railway is unique to capture so many different genres in its time and it all works so well, the mainline steam/diesel across to London Transport buses. A winning combination. Great day out and top marks, cheers!

What a fantastic railway. The staff are so friendly and helpful, each station is lovely to look at. The steam trains are out of this world. Always a special day out.

A unique heritage train rides with options to ride on diesal or steam trains. The train itself is very comfortable and it was so cool seeing the head carriage uncoupling at north weald station and ongar! There was lots to do at each station. At north weal station, I walked it to the oldest wodden church in the world, Greenstead Church after walking through a field of sunflowers. The scenery is very amazing, with horses right by you and the people are very friendly. The vintage bus was also a highlight as well as looking at the north weald airstrip, though directions on the inside of the airstrip is non existant. The highlight of the railway was going on the steam trains as the steam locomotive that pulled our carriage had inspired thomas the tank engine! The staff were very friendly in stations and in the trains and buses! Definitely worth the visit!

We visited the railway last night, the experience from start to finish way amazing. We are a large family group, ages from 6months to 60 + the evening was enjoyed by all. The staff are friendly and helpful and joined in with all the fun. The station and train are decked out in thousands of lights, and the on board entertainment went above and beyond. We left the railway on a high, can't recommend this experience highly enough.

Wonderful wooden church in Greensted – such a unique and peaceful place. For a long time people thought it was built in 845, though later studies showed it’s about 200 years younger. Inside the old oak walls you really feel the history. There’s even a small “leper’s squint” in the north wall, where, according to legend, those with leprosy once watched the service. Quiet, calm, and full of timeless beauty.

A historical church which the oldest timber church in the world. A small church which is very small and quiet. Be careful when closing the door, I thought i was locked in but you have to pull the lever and twist it to the right. There's a cemetery near by with park bemches and a public footpath that is easy to follow that directs you straight to ongar station, so perfect to visit if you're looking for something to do while waiting for the epping ongar railway train

The oldest wooden church in the world, amazing little church, so old, feels so calm and peaceful, and you can buy local honey, mint sauce, horseradish, and lots of other things, well worth a visit,The oak timbers are over 1,000 years old.

Beautiful! oldest wooden church in the world. St Andrew's Church in Greensted-juxta-Ongar, commonly known as Greensted Church. Oldest wooden church in the world and oldest "stave built" timber building in Europe. The timber planks of the church's nave date from approximately 1060 AD, though earlier timber structures from the 6th and 7th centuries were discovered during excavations in the chancel. No tickets. Tip: bring some cash, you can purchase some homemade jam / chutney / honey inside the church.

I have been wanting to visit here for years, and I finally took the time to divert from my route to make the visit. And it was very much worth it. This historical wooden church is stunning. It's a fascinating building, made over very different eras, using differing materials and styles etc. There's a good amount of information at hand to explain all. We took time to have a snack in the grounds, whilst sat on a bench admiring the view, bare footed we strolled about, taking I the scent of the roses. And inside we sat, appreciating the calm and quiet. Contemplating the span of time that this church has survived.

Visiting this little church was so incredible. It took about 2 hours from paddington on public transport, and a 1 mile walk, but was so worth it. The church was beautiful and so well preserved. I was the only person there when I visited and took my time soaking in the ancient building.

beautiful church and we came across when rambling walk and visit inside to find a little shop and bought some jams and honey. Instresting building.

I came in at lunch to get a jacket cheese and beans to takeaway. They were super efficient, and the food was well prepared and packed. The price was good as the jacket also came with a side of dressed salad and homemade coleslaw, which was delish! The portions were also really good. When getting home, I also realised they had provided a packet with cutlery, little packs of proper butter, salt, pepper, and mayo! Such a good complimentary condiment selection! Really yummy and will 100% be coming back.

Lovely coffee shop and gorgeous food. Had a delicious tuna melt tosstie and it felt very relaxed. Felt safe with covid precautions in place too. I'd definitely come back!

Great little spot. The food is lovely, fresh and reasonably priced. Scones were delicious! A real gem!

Wow. Everything was perfect. Great food. Perfect poached egg. Fresh. Delicious. Great atmosphere. Really, really friendly staff. I spent Thursday morning working on my laptop. Had 3 coffees and a LOVELY breakfast and only spent £15 something. Has a lot of regulars who they treat great. That is saying something. I heartily recommend this place.

Gets busy but that's because it's fairly priced with big portions and an owner / manager ethos. Helpful and good food.

This place looks nice inside and was a good place to meet my friend for a catch up. Staff were lovely and so was the tea and scones. I would visit again.

Lovely family lunch. My wife, my 2 year old son and I had toasted sandwiches that were tasty and arrived quickly (ideal as we didn't have long before we had to catch the train back). Service was exemplary, friendly staff, all smiling (behind masks of course) and completed our requests for a high chair and extra sauce with pleasure. When we go back to Ongar we will not hesitate to stop off for a bite to eat. Latte was lovely too!! Thank you

From the get go we were welcomed by lovely staff. From the food to the beautiful cocktails it was absolutely perfect! Highly recommend

Last time came here was with friends who have long since moved away whilst after not living nearby and then bring abroad we've moved close. Sure it seems bigger than then but my memory might be iffy. Really enjoyed the food here it was very busy for a weekday lunch so booking probably essential. Torn between the set and there al a carte but in the end went for the set menu.

We went for the weekday lunch menu and it was delicious! My favourite was the mussels, followed closely by my dessert. Great value for money and fresh quality food xxx

Another absolutely beautiful meal at this wonderful restaurant! Food as always was delicious, and the service was second to none. Oh, and the lobster was amazing!

The food was pretty good but I do have to say the pricing is incredibly high for such small and simple portions, overall good staff good experience

We had the most amazing time today. The 3rd time I've been. The food is incredible. A special thanks to Alfie who was brilliant along with the other members of staff. I cannot thank you enough ❤

As usual. Excellent service, friendly staff. Great food and comfortable, elegant restaurant

Great food, very friendly staff, and a vibrant atmosphere 😀. Highly recommended.

Our first visit tonight, the waiters made us really welcome and were helpful with selections from the menu. The food was really excellent quality and good quantitiy too. We will definately be coming back.

This is not only just a standard Indian restaurant. they pull all the stops out to make it a great night.. DJs on a weekend and they are 5 star for your private party… I called up and asked for a certain wine brand for a party I was attending and they went all out to get in my request. An amazing night dancing away and can’t wait to book for another event… to everyone at vojans you all need a pat on the back and keep doing what your doing. 😊😊

Always excellent food wether you eat in or have takeaway. Friendly staff who are attentive but not hovering round the table all the time.

A wonderful meal for a special family occasion. Stunning food and lovely service. Highly recommend!

My first visit here with a large group. Great selection of tasting food serving different cocktails and lassies! Once you're done eating you can relax in the back garden where they have a massive pond with plenty of fish to see! They also have a huge car park at the back so parking is not a problem.

Very beautiful restaurant, enjoyed many tasty dishes , my favorite was the lamb shank , was very tender the meat just fell off the bone . Definitely will be coming back
