I only turned up ( a little early) to pick my partner up and ended up joining in on the meal. The food and the staff were beyond excellent, I piggy backed on the tasting menu and look forward to going back. Banter from the owners made the evening relaxing and fun.

The wife and I have dined in many fine dining restaurants over the years, and this one is excellent. The food was delicious and well presented, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is warm and relaxing. This really was a fantastic experience and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be going back, and highly recommend Orwell’s to our friends and family.

CertainlThis was my first visit to Orwells, and I was pleasantly surprised by their food. From the cocktails and arrival snack to the starters, main course, and dessert, everything was fantastic. I will definitely be returning. I highly recommend trying the Beef Tartare and the Roast Leg of Lockerbie Lamb.

Incredible restaurant! I had a fantastic meal there last night. The tasting menu was sublime to the point where I was struggling to choose a favourite course. The prestigious wine pairing was also fantastic and complemented each course perfectly. The service was spot on too. 10/10 as an experience and will definitely be going back!

Our evening here was simply fantastic. Wonderful service from really lovely staff who were attentive, responsive, polite, and not afraid to offer recommendations on food, beer, wine, whisky and pairing things together. Divine wine, good beers, a couple of great whiskies and very reliable gin and tonics accompanied truly wonderful food. Every aspect of every course was delicious. I had - the smoked ploughman's amuse bouche, the asparagus starter, the turbot (insanely good) and the crème brulé - and can't fault any of it. It's also a beautiful setting and atmosphere. Thanks to the staff.

It's rare that I write these reviews, but when my wife and I attended orwells for the evening, the service knowledge and most of all outstanding food we were served compelled me to share our evening with all. The owners really treated us to a special evening. My wife and I have been occasionally eating out for the past 16 years together and our trip to orwells from cornwall really shown world's apart in food, we highly recommend eating here. Every dish was cooked to perfection and a brief description of where the food came from and cooked was insightful and knowledgeable. From beautiful duck, lamb and sustainable ethical fish dishes we can't wait to revisit orwells again thanks for an incredible evening.

So good, loved the whole experience . Great value as you get fine dining innovation, but familiar flavours and decent portions. Me and my siblings had a wide range of things across the menu. Lots of extra touches like the after dinner pastels. We didn’t take any photos but that was because we were too busy eating . Luke was an excellent host and the team were friendly .

Excellent food cooked to perfection. My son and I enjoyed a Christmas Day lunch at Orwells Restaurant. The food was a delight as usual and the hosts Ryan & Liam are such lovely, friendly people. Always welcoming. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and with such care. Such a lovely place to enjoy Christmas lunch. Liam gave us both champagne to begin with before we even sat down ! There were homemade breads with various small starters. There were 5 courses and for my main course I chose the traditional turkey, although there was goose or beef filet on the menu, with all the trimmings. I enjoyed the lobster course also. Amongst the pudding/desert courses, I had an unusual dish of cherries with chocolate. My son doesn’t usually enjoy desert, but he remarked how good it was. Everything is freshly cooked and delicious, it is the best restaurant by far in the area. I was full by the end but Millie gave me the homemade mince pies in a cute box to take home. 5*. This was Christmas lunch and as one would expect, it is not cheap, but well worth the experience and exceptional food. Service excellent and especially to Millie.

Sadly such a frustrating and disappointing experience. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here a few weeks ago. It took 4.5 hours for us to receive all of our food, this is with us hurrying the process up, too. Some of the courses were sadly so salty they were inedible. All in all we feel completely robbed of £400 and what should have been a delightful experience. Edit: the dish we returned was the lions mane mushroom with garden nettles and bacon. We saw the table next to us complain of the same dish to their waiter. It is not the responsibility of your customers to ensure you have adequate communication in place with your staff to capture complaints when they happened. We did ask for the food to be sped up. This did not assist the situation and we were unable to finish our dessert, the taxi driver was understandably frustrated at being pushed back several times.

Our second time to Orwell's; this time with foodie guests who have treated us to Michelin starred restaurants in the past. Every single dish, and we all had different ones over a three course meal, was absolutely, mouthwateringly delicious. I don't eat meat but didn't feel like the veggie options were an afterthought at all, as can happen in some restaurants; they were well considered, interesting and varied. Definitely one of my top places to go.

We went for the 10 course tasting menu. The food was excellent but the meal took over 4hrs. I appreciate tasting menus take longer but 4hrs and ~20mins between small courses was too much for me and it devalued the experience. When I told the waitress, she said it was due to power cuts effecting the card payment but I failed to understand how the card machine impacted the wait time between courses.

We have not been to Orwells for many years but it was my birthday and I remembered how much we enjoyed it in the past. That was a great decision! I opted for the full taster menu and my husband the vegetarian half taster. We were fortunate to have good weather so our visit began in the lovely gardens with a wonderful cocktail I will endeavor to make at home. From the start to the end was a culinary treat. Every dish surprised and delighted, the creativity, playfulness and care not to mention the effort that went into each plate was very evident. I was hard pressed to choose a favorite however I think I must mention the melt in the mouth beef with mushrooms but second place has to be shared with the lobster, the fried chicken and the stunning beetroot. Of the desserts the strawberry dish was mind-blowing and I am very sad that I just don't know how to reproduce it at home, even though all the ingredients sound like ones I have in my kitchen. The waiting staff were wonderful, friendly and always attentive and helpful with advice on drinks and portions. All in all we were both delighted with our choice and hope to visit again soon. Thank you for a lovely day.

Didn't go to the resturant, cancelled over a month ago via email and received a reply to confirm from the owner at the time. Fast forward to today and guess my surprise when I'm charged £100 for not turning up. I called as soon as possible to ask why and explain I had cancelled over email. Turns out I was speaking to the person who actually received my cancellation email in the first place yet it was me who was treated in a condescending manor. I was unsure if it was arrogance or if he was trying to be funny but certainly felt rude. Either way I am glad I didn't eat there and know I'm not going to in the future.

Tricky one. If only we could give half marks, I would’ve gone 3.7. Sat in an annex with a wonky table which was corrected once pointed out. Felt everything had to be prompted, bread, drinks. Ladies lavatories are behind a curtain right by the entrance. I was oblivious but my partner was freezing cold all night, sat next to double conservatory style doors. Food itself, fine, overly superlative descriptions vs quality of content. Shiplake Leek main was disappointing and flavourless. By this point I was drunk as a lord so happy as Larry. The mediocre culinary experience doesn’t warrant the strange hushed faux exclusive atmosphere. I’ve had better meals up the pub where can all laugh and dump in peace.

We went to Orwell's, one night after being to Hand & Flowers, which is a Michelin 2 star restaurant. We preferred our Orwell's experience over H&F. From the food to the service, it was fantastic. The amuse-bouche was a riff on a Ploughman's, which was really clever and well executed. Got us excited of what was to come! For starters we got the lobster course. This was an absolute triumph. The lobster was cooked to perfection and that talisker bisque with the truffle was as great as it sounds. For mains we got the fallow deer. Beautiful quality meat, cooked pink to perfection. The venison doughnut was a beautiful cloud of joy as you bite into it. Finally for dessert we got the honey sponge cake and the apple crumble. We loved the honey sponge between those 2. Overall, just a cracking meal! Huge compliments to the entire team - front and back

Very very very disappointing 9 course tasting menu. A tasting menu is met to take you on a culinary adventure. We did not feel that at all. sadly this place is nowhere near yet? The Focaccia bread was dry and very salty. 1st course gave you a bunch of chives with miso. I didn't not understand this course at all. I kept chewing on the chives 2nd course a very disappointing oily and salty piece of finger bite fried chicken. OFC more like DFC 3rd jersey potato foam with a Tiny piece of very salty pork. At this stage all I could taste was salt in my pallet. 4th A very basic scallop with some curry sauce. Scallop was dry no seasoning. Curry sauce was poor. Very dated. 5th At this point of the menu we was expecting big and bold flavours. We were given a soagy crumpet size of a £2 coin with some slice pastrami and pickle cabbage. Very disappointing on a £130 tasting menu. You give me something like that it should be a different level of cooking not a soagy crumpet with slice beef. 6th lobster and tomato sauce was good. Overcooked lobster and rubbery. 7th mutgac I did not enjoy that at all. The meat was not seal properly all around. It feels like just been out of a waterbath. The potato rosti was oily and buttery. It puts you off. It mention bone marrow 8th dessert a bite size Mr Whippy. Can't fail on making ice cream. That was the only thing I enjoyed the whole night. 9th chocolate Ganache. a rocher of ganache. Chocolate tuile. Poor dish. A lot of focus on the plate, cutleries and not the food itself. The waitress was very nIce but didn't take the food feedback well. On finishing we pay the bill of £325 and we had to look where they kept our jacket we took out jacket and left We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Totally regret it. And came home still hungry

We chose the restaurant and the tasting menu based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it must have been a bad day in the kitchen or it simply was not to our taste. On a personal level, I found some of the elements of the dishes too greasy, too salty and lacking freshness and excitement. My husband started giving honest feedback to the staff for the first few courses but it was obvious that we were upsetting them. I fully appreciate this as it is their business and they must be proud of it. I did not find it worth the £130 per head but still ate the food as wasting food is not acceptable where I am from.

Having eaten at Orwell’s before lockdown we were worried it might not live up to our incredible previous experience. We didn’t need to worry though as it was equally if not more exceptional. The welcome when you arrive is so friendly and sitting in the garden with fizz looking at the amazing view was lovely. Once inside we had a half tasting menu which was a succession of amazing dishes with the nicest sauces ever!! Ryan’s wine knowledge is superb and his suggestions for food parings were spot on. We had a fabulous evening and will definitely be back soon!

I went in a party of three and we all ordered turbot as neither of us is a massive meat-eater (and neither of us wanted to eat a deer). The menu was small and the mains were pricey. The fish was beautifully-cooked but not sure if it warranted the price as you do need to order sides to be satisfied and this will push the price up of your main to about £40. The sides were good and bigger in comparison to sides you'd get in other restaurants; they were also beautifully-cooked. The dessert had snippets of rhubarb and was more flan than brulee; I'd rather chunks of rhubarb with a good, fragant custard. The food was excellent albeit pricey for what you were given but I'd still rate this restaurant five stars because of the beautiful outdoor setting and good service without which I'd probably rate Orwells four stars.

A birthday lunch for my wife made the perfect excuse to visit Orwell's. It was well worth the hour and a half journey from our home to sample some really excellent cooking. Each main ingredient was treated with great respect and was complemented by sauces and accompaniments that seemed to elevate the dishes to a higher level. Portions are well balanced and timed to ensure that you leave the table feeling satisfied rather than stuffed. The service was delightful and leaving the selection of wine to the waiter proved to be inspired. All told, I suspect that this restaurant is driven by a passion for food rather than being just another business. It goes to prove that dedication to excellence is what separates a great restaurant from the mundane. Well done guys.

The Sun is a stunning quintessential British pub tucked away in the quiet village of Wheatley. The Pub has a warm, cosy and traditional feel throughout, with exposed brick and beams. The garden is expansive and great on a summers day! The manager Dimi and his team are welcoming and friendly.
