Restaurants in Ongar

Another great meal at Smiths. My go to restaurant for both working lunches and taking my wife for the evening. Never disappoints on either work or service.

Beautiful pub/restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was lovely. Decor and christmas decorations are beautiful. The only criticism was my calamari starter consisted of 5 pieces which was disappointing for the money. That being said I will be returning, I'll just choose a different starter.

Lovely venue, although in the middle of no where in my opinion. Service was good as we had early booking. Starters was delicious, the venison kebab, the quails egg I would have preferred it to be a bit runnier in the middle when you cut into it. The sauce was great and good amount just right for the amount. The mix grill was a disappointment due to the small portion size, there was not enough flavour to this dish. The prawn purée was nice, please serve in a flat plate as it will be easier to eat than the round bowl we had it served in. Ambience was nice. Mains were ok the meat dish was not spicy enough as per details on the menu, the dhansak was lovely, the peshwari naan was yummy. The duck dish would be better to be cooked to one’s tastebud, I would have preferred this a little less cooked. Dessert- we didn’t enjoy in the way it was described on the menu, however the cake for the birthday was nice along with the other complimentary little pot we had. A lovely evening full of lovely food

We had a fantastic time for my step daughter’s 19th birthday. The 7 of us enjoyed our food very much and it was served by attentive and pleasant staff. We had a lovely night, thank you.

Third visit to The Cart Shed with friends this time and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to take more friends and family to eat here!
