Orchard Tearoom in Wiltshire

Absolutely dreadful! Advertised a la carte menu replaced with a 'bar' menu. Took the waiter 15 minutes to bring a menu and ask if we'd like drinks 40 minutes for food to arrive which was not hot. The pork belly my colleague had was wrapped in gooey fat not crackling, the pumpkin sauce was a teaspoon of orange 'something' and the seasonal veg was mashed potato and some peas. The chicken burger was deep fried and tasted of old fryer fat as did the 'tepid' skin in chips. Presentation of the burger was non existent and the two tiny leaves of lettuce were brown. This was fed back to the waiter when he finally returned to our table his response was he'd mention it to the Chef. The after dinner treat of sticky toffee pudding was solid and rubbery, not moist. The tiniest bit of ice cream and a token gesture at the sauce all was tepid. The dining room was cold and drafty. The decor tired and wall paper peeling off the ceiling and walls. Utterly awful experience with nobody interested in the overall shoddiness of the service and food. Really disappointing, especially as this is the closest hotel to work. A real missed opportunity for this Hotel and Restaurant.

Spent a weekend at the campsite in Longleat and ate here twice during the storms. Really friendly staff lovely atmosphere and you definitely won’t go hungry with the gorgeous food. Thanks to the Team for making a tough weekend great.

Food okay for the price,Staff brilliant.Cons,unable to get a hot drink as machine broken,hand dryer broken,the chairs were filthy,the material covering was black with muck, all the chairs were really really bad,a let down for the hard working Staff.

Very good lunch, busy but were found a table quickly. Staff we dealt with were all excellent, special thanks to Amelia who recommended the BBQ chicken with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Will be another addition to our favourite lunch spots..

2nd time we have been back to J K's bistro and it did not disappoint, relaxed atmosphere, the gentleman that served us could not do enough for us and we were a bit picky Great varied menu with different things on you do not see in other places around, prices reasonable., friendly staff. Will be back !
