Orange Tree in Braintree - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Love going to the orange tree with a great atmosphere! Sam is always friendly and nothing is too much trouble! Highly recommend!!!!

Lovely atmosphere great family pub and friendly staff *** manager Sam fantastic

Sorry but found hair in the food waitress rude and walked away when talking to her not impressed

We love this pub. Walkable, really friendly service, proper pub grub and decently priced drinks. The garden is a sun trap and there's a TV so the other half doesn't miss out on the footy. Burger Wednesday is a must. Build your own burger for just a fiver and it's a really nice juicy burger too, what more could you ask for, oh yes, a pinot and soda to wash it down!

Much improved since my last visit good food great value for money

Lovely pub, food is amazing, sam was great, good service!

Sam and the team are awesome. Prices are good and food is always tasty. Always have a great experience when visiting.

Food and service great, sadly there's often rowdy groups and lots of bad language, especially if sport is on, which isn't great if you have small kids. Landlady will intervene if it's getting ridiculous though.

Excellent service, staff are very friendly, food come out in less than 20 minutes! Will be definitely be returning :)

If was my wife's birthday so we had all the family all 9 of us. We had a great day food was great and the service was as well.we well definitely be coming back

Lovely steak cooked by Sam . Team always happy and quick to make sure customers was hydrated and happy

Always a great time staff lovely and Always check everything is good.would recommended

came in soaking wet after a hard day on site and the bar staff were very helpful in finding a warm place to sit and dry out. Especially Jordan and Sarah and cainw when we ordered food everything was onpoint.

Had birthday party for my husband on 27th Dec 15 of us Staff team very helpful Food great Nothing too much trouble ! Thank you all Sue

Service excellent, fast and very efficient clearing and cleaning tables. Food middle range, ok for pub, I had fish platter, scampi was initially forgotten, after reminder came very overcooked. Slice bread and butter not edible, bread taste stale (but could be due to sitting around in hot kitchen). My companion enjoyed his rump steak, although he did seem to chew on the pieces for a while. Seating, I prefer bench seating, as wooden chairs even with seat padding were very uncomfortable, due to this we left early.

We had such a lovely meal. We had the Turkey Roast Dinner and it was all very tasty. The Apple Pie was also very nice and the portion sizes were very good. We wasn’t sure what it would be like but we was pleasantly surprised and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely come again.

First time visit. Lovely atmosphere. Will visit again

We came on the 1st Dec ,had a fantastic Christmas dinner with our 2friends ,excellent food loads of it cracking starter and dessert .Thankyou to the chef and all the staff for their brilliant service and banter .Love The Orange Tree can't thankyou all enough .xxx

We were a table of 4 on 1st December and had the Festive Menu. Everything was delicious, very generous meals for extremely good value 👍 The staff are so very polite, welcoming, organised and hardworking, helping to make the experience even more enjoyable. Anyone else going there for any reason is in for a real treat and we can't wait to go back soon 👍 would give 10 stars if we could!

Booked up for a 40th birthday gathering, as had another group. All was fine, albeit the music was defening, but what really ruined it for both groups was the karaoke that suddenly happened and such a volume it was inaudible. Despite asking for it to be turned down, it carried on unchanged, so we all had to leave. Really spoilt what could have been a great evening. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Had a lovely meal and drinks with my boyfriend and his little girl, the food was amazing value and it was a friendly atmosphere in there. All of the staff were lovely and helpful throughout our visit. Would 100% recommend visiting! Special thank you to Sam and Shanice who were amazing throughout our visit!

Love this place, never had an issue

Love place to eat friendly and staff are so polite go above and beyond for amazing service would recommend all the time.

Good local, with friendly staff and good atmosphere 👍

Incredible place great prices for drinks would recommend

Was over for our daughters birthday meal. Large booking of 11 but service was quick and both girls behind the bar were extremely friendly and helpful. Thankyou Sarah and shanice for a great time. Shall be back

brilliant staff and food, will definitelybe coming back

Popped in for bit of lunch between jobs i can highly recommend the katsu chicken great meal and great service.

Wanted a Sunday roast dinner, only beef available. Potatoes were from frozen as were the vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. Gravy was not an option, it was just poured on your plate. All in the surroundings of noisy football fans. Can't complain about the price which was reasonable and thought the service was above average.

Pleasant pub, nice friendly staff

Good food but not quite perfect occasionally chicken is a little dry, but would still recommend

Very friendly went here for sons 21st with family food was good and so was service had a good evening

Excellent place, went here for an 18th birthday celebration and I couldn't rate it highly enough. It was a really unique looking place with loads of paintings on the wall, It felt like you were back in time at an old English pub for the rich. Really nice atmosphere, good food and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended A++++

Great staff, great service & delicious food

Very good value for money. Food and service were very good. Would definitely go back again

Friendly pub showing sports. Good food at good prices. A fair size garden to relax in. Excellent staff. The staff make the pub. Friendly and hard working. The food is very good. Give it a try

Great food, superb staff and a great place to meet up with mates. Sam and the team work hard to give you a great all round experience

Good value, not fancy but a decent facsimile of a pub. Good wings

Went there for a bday meal for a friend yesterday, the atmosphere was good, service and friendliness of the staff was great. Food was lovely. Great time.

Food and atmosphere was really good. Not a place to go if you want a quiet meal.

Great pub, highly recommend, for all the family

I didn't eat here. But I did look at the menu. Good selection of meals available. Good selection of beers as well. I need another visit to try the food

Friendly pub with decent pool table and dart board

It is a very standard place. Mostly bar atmosphere but a small area for the restaurant. The food is basic.

Great food . Wonderful family pub great warming atmosphere. Staff very welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Always good pub food, excellent prices, best in summer cos you can sit outside. Only complaint is the smell inside the pub, could do with an air freshener. The food is nice and hot and the service is always good .

I was very impressed with the service and food (esp at these amazing prices)! Thank you Lauren S, Sam, Stevie and Marc! Keep up the good work and see you soon!!

Good place to eat and drink. Good atmosphere and all are made to feel welcome. Need more staff on weekends behind the bar. Good sized portions for meals. Reasonably priced for food and drink. Pool table available to use. Good showing of sports on sky and bt sports .

Lovely local pub with great food and drink available. Good family friendly atmosphere, especially when a football match is being shown.

Excellent service and food, can really recommend, all food at affordable prices too

Wonderful service great food and thanks to all the staff Lauren, stevie and chef Sam. Highly recommended

Had lovely service today from Stevie and Lauren. Very friendly. Great food by chef Sam. See you again soon.

Very lovely pub, staff always working hard and very welcoming, jodie is always polite and helpful. Food is always good quality never had any complaints visit regularly.

Lovely welcoming pub, I struggle to find food choices on the menu’s at Pubs and restaurants, I’m gluten free and other food intolerance, but asked to speak to Sam who was happy to discuss my food choices, I am more than pleased to share how impressed I was, I inquired who the chef was (Marc) and asked them to pass on my thanks, we have eaten there again and booked a table for four New Year’s Eve, I would highly recommend trying the Orange Tree Dog friendly too!

Great service, yummy food and lovely polite staff. Thankyou Shanice for being so helpful

Lovely people lovely food. Recommended very high

Great service especially cain and Jodie. Friendly family pub the kids love going here

Nice atmosphere and nice place for a game of pool got a free game as the first person of the day thanks to Lauren

I went to the orange tree on Christmas Day the service was amazing Jodie and the team where very helpful and quick with drinks and food would highly recommend

Amazing food, great service and environment. Highly recommended pub...very kids friendly and well mannered staff. The waitress Jodie has been one of the nicest waitress I've met in any pub. Always smiling, everyone is lovely

Friendly staff, good pub food. Lauren was very helpful. Will revisit.

Went into pub rushed out the door didn’t feel welcomed won’t come back again for sure bar staff rude as well !!

Works Christmas Dinner. Food was really good and plenty of it. Only down side was the football was on at the same time.

Good value for money especially the 2 for £11 something!

Admittedly I have never eaten here but the service and staff are always nice. The pub has a good atmosphere and there is a lovely range of beers to enjoy. Sport is also shown here.

Lovely atmosphere. Nice pub grub.

A visit that will Always be enjoyable! Whether your visit is for a date night, a big family meal or a get together with friends-you will always be welcomed with a big smile and fabulous service! Staff are incredible and couldn't do anymore for you! A good local that often has fantastic entertainment to-make sure you always check what's on and coming up, don't miss out!

Very nice food, friendly staff (Jody) Good pub.

Shanice is a good team member of the pub really understands her role and is very positive member of staff.

Restaurant unreliable. Went there last night to watch the football and have dinner but the kitchen was closed. Didn't even bother to mention this on Facebook. Other than that, it's good for football and nice decor

Good food, great staff, I'm now almost a regular.

First time visiting this pub in a while i had a good night there decent pint aswell

Lovely meal staff brilliant staff

Food very good and very reasonable

A nice friendly pub with good food at a reasonable price. Staff very helpful

Best avoided ,absolutely the worst pub I have ever been in,the pub needs compitent management, as this is my local, I visit every 6 months or so, & every single time they have an issue, today it was NO BEER !!! quite funny really. I guess green king must be throwing alot of money there way ???

Had food here lunchtime today service much better than normal out in 10 minutes cooked perfectly By Sam and drinks from Lauren couldn't be happier

A real community place, perfect for commuters or one stop shops. Dog friendly and clean and professional.

Fun enjoyable place to be staff very friendly. manager Sam was very welcoming always made sure we were comfortable. definetly go back

Friendly atmosphere, good beer and beer garden, Sam the manager clearly knows what she's doing and always welcoming. No complaints

Good pub grub, nice friendly staff

My local great crowd good mixture of young and old.

Lovely pub friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks

Great pub 👌 🍺🍺🍺great experience

Excellent Pub fantastic service and facilities very friendly staff 👍

Friendly atmosphere an good food

Good local pub. Was very quite when we went in. Didnt eat but will come back as seemed a good menu. Staff were nice

Absolutely fabulous great service exceptional bar staff will visit often.

Food lovely, staff nice, but we didn't get much time to sit and relax as table was reserved for a local who books table for 6 for just himself. To me that is them valuing his custom rather than eating paying customers who can't book a table.

I came in with my family like a regular treated us like DOGS just wanted us in out fast DO NOT COME HERE IT WILL ROON YOURE DAY

We booked a table for 4 people , had confirmation email. When we arrived, there was no table, We we’re just left standing so left and went to find someone else to eat :(

Decent pub. Nice atmosphere decent food

Staff very helpful and friendly Food is pub grub but nice..breakfasts r lush

It is a good local pub. Lively but not rowdy.

Just had a lovely lunch , staff so welcoming will definitely return

Popped in for a quick drink, staff were amazing, very friendly, polite and professional.

Very nice lunch yesterday for my mums birthday. Although they were having supply issues they done a great job and the 10 of us where able to order everything we wanted good job 😁👍 special thanks to kelsey caitlin and james 😁
