The Old Orchard in Hillingdon

Nice food but service incredibly slow - both the drinks and the food. Took over an hour and a half to get main courses with tables coming in after us getting served first. When I mentioned it, was told the kitchen was busy - I wasn’t fishing for an excuse and that’s not my problem - I booked over a month ago and if you can’t handle a half full restaurant remove the tables or step up. Place was freezing cold. Prices were expensive for pub grub. Odd that the menu changes daily. Unlike to go back.

Highly recommended, great environment, good people, good food and good service. Parking is easy and the view is great.

Good location especially in the summer. Food was good, staff were friendly but the service was underwhelming.

Delicious food, very good service, fair prices. Really recommend it !!!

Top quality food well presented, let down by service, waited nearly an hour for food

Been before this time food was good but service terrible. Had to ask more than once to order more drinks and order was got very wrong. Disappointed

The roast lamb meal was served hot and was a generous portion. Staff were polite and efficient. We return to this pub/restaurant more often than others as we've never been disappointed by the food/venue.

Excellent atmosphere, lively service, great food.

The ambience outside and view is lovely specially if one goes in summer . Best reached by car with ample parking .

Wonderful place. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Recommend that you visit beautiful place.

Eat here often, food always good 👍. Staff are friendly and welcoming

A real gem of a pub, hidden away in Harefield with great views. This is how pubs should be, very cosy with roaring fires and quiet corners to relax in. Fish and chips were excellent, very light crispy batter, thick cut chips and mushy peas. Will be back to try more!

Great view of the river. Food was mediocre but great customer service

Lovely food. Always tastes great.

Busy, great venue for a meet up

The food is always good and staff pleasant and friendly. Always warm comfortable and nice ambience.

Lovely pub overlooking a canal. Great seating are outdoors. Went Bank holiday weekend where there was a beer festival. Great to take the dog too and go for a walk

I've got to give these guys and this place a 5 star review. Their food was delicious, superb atmosphere and service excellent (they had no issues bringing out a birthday cake for us which we gave them upon arrival, with candles lit and sang happy birthday). Family friendly and decorated nicely too. Can't go wrong, a perfect Sunday afternoon and loved how the Sunday roast menu also had additional normal menu options for those not wanting a roast (although their roasts were delicious) - so plenty of choice. Very multicultural too which is important to me! Thanks for a great day.

Very nice large group lunch in the upstairs private area, most effectively waited and pleasingly quiet.

Stunning location with plenty of parking. Large venue, but lots of cosy corners and a roaring log fire. Daily produced menu, which can be found on their website before you go. Good food and friendly.staff.

Great place for drinks during the summer. Even better view from the outside. Even managed to get some cocktails. Staff are just Brilliant. Food is probably the best here. Even blacklock doesn't compare. I highly recommend the slow roasted leg of lamb.

Really lovely location and view of the lake. I little awkward to get to on the narrow lane. Food was very nice. Good for kids to play outside.

The best roast dinner I’ve ever had eating out! Friendly staff, lovely garden and amazing view .. couldn’t resist taking some photos of the dog!

Gorgeous place and delicious Sunday roast! Highly recommend

It's absolutely fine. :-) and the service is ok, but you're paying for the view/location, the food is perfectly serviceable, too just like any average gastropub. To be clear, three out of five is a *good* review, but I need to leave space for true excellence and amazing places.

This place is in a location which I can only describe as terrible from the perspective of access but fantastic from the perspective of views. There is an excellent beer garden, great views of the surrounding scenery and the pub itself is a wonderful, fairly traditional place with a modern touch. Prices are on the higher side but the food is great quality and the drinks excellent. The service when I was there was not perfect but everything else was. At busier times it's advisable to book a table ahead, especially for larger groups. There is a large car park but the road leading to it is rather pot hole laden.

Lovely country ou, vlose to Lonfon suburbs. Great view over the canal and lakes. Had Sunday lunch. Food was pretty good. Booking the Friday before, we wanted lunch but could only get a table for 8 at 4pm. Place is deservedly popular.

I was expecting a Great experience for Sunday Lunch Food. 1st, no particular person there to welcome you and show me to our table. Instead, had to go to the bar and ask. Then he said your table is just over there. 2 seats on table tucked away in the corner. 10-15 minutes later, no drinks yet or waiter. Somebody appears and takes the order. We ordered 3 Starters and 2 Beef and Porchetta Roast Sunday Lunches. 1st Starter Deep fried Brie. I thought the Brie would be runny. Very stiff,slightly cold and no taste. The accompaniment of Chutney and green’s was overpowering with apple. 2nd starter Beef Chics. A bit tough not slow cooked enough. 3rd Starter Scallops. They were nice. Main course. Very disappointed. The Red Cabbage had been braised. Maybe with star anise. If not whatever it was. Spoilt the whole main meal. It went into the gravy. The meat was ok. Even if 1 Slice of Beef. The potatoes, cabbage and greens nice. Yorkshire pudding a bit greasy. Pudding 1 scoop vanilla (nice). 1 scoop coffee ice cream( was a bit of a powdery texture). 1 Coffee. Couldn’t drink it coffee had been burnt. Sad experience considering £54.00 a head. The staff at the end did ask what I thought of the meal. But had no comeback from them or the chef. Also whilst eating our sweet. Although dog friendly. A dog with another customer shit on the floor twice in front of us. Sorry, although not necessarily the pubs fault. Was really off putting. Not a great experience. Won’t be going back.

Very nice pub/restaurant. Great place for family meals. Quality food.

A Sunday lunch with elderly birthdays. Communication was excellent and all details meticulously followed. Roast lamb was to die for. Thank you for making our occasion so special.

Westernmost pub in london, also the littest. pretty view, nice people, amazing decor. what else to say. go here if you can cuz its awesome.

Very friendly service and excellent quality food and very friendly staff 👌

Apologies, I have just noticed that my previous review gave you just one ☆!! That was an error ... amazing food, great views friendly staff.

A little gem tucked away. The views are spectacular. The food was interesting and good quality. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch

A truly delightful found I. Outskirts London for an awesome Sunday roast. The place itself looks unlike London and is a great escape from the hustle bustle within an hour. The food was totally delightful. The starters were already very presentable and definitely scrumptious. The chicken liver pete was very well seasoned with good texture. The deep fried Brie has a slight aroma and a great choice to just open up your tastes buds. The roasted beef was very soft and tender with great parsnips mesh, spectacular and the quality of the pork on the roasted Pritchett was not oily and the crispy pork rind, that is unbeatable. Of course dessert, the apple pear crumble bathed in vanilla custard with very well balanced sweetness and acidity was a super must have. A wonderful place which can surely delivers remarkable memories. Servers were attentive and the ambience with a cool fireplace and window with a view of lake. Surely worth the drive to visit and it is not expensive.

My Dad mentioned this place years ago and we went there before, but only stayed outside to see the view. So it was just recently that I decided to go there with my fiancé and this time have lunch there. It was worth the journey there and I said before the view from the cottage was great. Going inside was even better. The staffing there was top service. Also the best cod and chips I had in years. I thank the team for making this experience enjoyable and travelling all the way there from Chelsea, it was worth it. I will certainly be going there in the foreseeable future.

I visited the pub on the recommendation of friends and I was not disappointed. Nice service. Delicious food combined with beautiful views. I recommend it to everyone. I will definitely come back here again.

As always, great pub food with generous portions.Staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive.No hesitation recommending the Orchard.

Food was better on this visit. Plenty of craft beers on tap

Lovely country pub, fantastic food, great sunset too

First time visiting here and it’s a beautiful pub and location. Sat outside enjoying the sunshine with a couple of drinks before we went inside for a meal. Lovely inside,good menu and food,staff were friendly and polite...will definitely definitely be returning here a lot.

Fantastic views, definitely worth a visit.

Great pub, did have lovely views until HS2 was built in the distance, creating an eyesore.

Lovely pub, good food, excellent choice of real ales on hand pump. Dog friendly. Ample parking, massive garden and other outdoor seating. Filet steak sandwich was amazing, fish finger sandwich was massive!! Good gf options

This is one of the most romantic and beautiful places to have dinner with your partner. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is both helpful and friendly. Highly recommended, and definitely worth the money. We will be back again soon. Thank you for your exceptional service!

Absolutely fantastic. Great service and delicious food!

Sunday roast here was excellent. Unfortunately they were very busy and it did take some time to get served. (Need a few more staff on busy days.) however would still return as long as i was not in a rush.

This place has gone downhill. Looks like they are using agency staff that don't have a clue how to serve. Food not bad but could have been better in areas.

This is the 2nd time we've been here although is fair way from where we live but it's worth the drive.The food is great it is a bit more expensive but mostly worth it.I say mostly as on this visit the onion rings were very greasy and the price for the ONE brisket starter I thought was a bit too expensive. Friendly bar & waiting staff & I like the fact service charge is not automatically applied.

Great pub with good selection of beers and largess. The food is also good and great service. Lovely view from the outside over the Colne Nature Valley. There is a great outside area with seating too

A disappointing time as the restaurant was virtually empty but we was seated next to two tables of 10 people who were very noisy. Not the silver wedding anniversary I had imagined.

Hi, We were a group of 4 and were served by the lovely Matt. As always the food was amazing and the service was excellent. It was full of entertainment with the customers service and we really enjoyed it as we had guests from abroad to experience traditional British food. Thank you for the great food and hospitality.

Beautiful views in a spectacular location, friendly staff and great selection of craft beers

I recently visited The Old Orchard and had a lovely experience. The pub's outdoor seating is a major highlight, offering a spacious garden with an outside bar and stunning views of the nearby lake. The big free parking is also a great convenience. We enjoyed a delicious burger, and the food overall was really good. The service was quick, though a bit chaotic, likely due to the weekend rush. The menu at the outside bar is different and smaller than the indoor menu, and the drinks menu is somewhat limited, but it didn't take away from the enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed day out!

The food was ok but quite pricey for what we had. The inside of the building is very nicely decorated and looks classy. We sat outside to eat due to the weather. You have to get your own cutlery and napkins which was a surprise that they didn't arrive with the food. Overall a good experience.

Great views, great staff and great food. Had a lovely day. Highly recommended.

A great pub to hangout on a beautiful day. It has outdoor tables with amazing views. The fish and chips were very good as well. Definitely recommend and would love to go back.

Very tasty food, awesome ambience with a very scenic view and the staff was really helpful!

When will this pub get background music and some comfy chairs to enjoy drinks!? All your other pubs have all this and look lovely inside! Yes you have a lovely view and good food but in the winter the pub needs a better ambience. Hope this happens soon.

Out of our normal area,on business.However realised it was a one of brunning and price pubs which we are used to at home.Very very busy so had along wait for our food .however we had our usual fare of fish and chips which we thoroughly enjoyed.Usual ambience and an amazing location.As good as usual.

Booking for 2 people at 6pm. Got there 5 mins early and was told we are ok to be seated. We were given a menu. We then waited 20 minutes for someone to ask what we wanted to drink or even what we would like to order. We were very patient and could see the restaurant was busy but this is poor service. We ended up leaving without even being acknowledged or eating. Seems like more staff were needed and a manager on board required. Won’t be returning in a hurry. A shame as this is a beautiful place. Food is normally good when we get served.

Two of us visited on a Thursday afternoon. I'd been here before but my companion hadn't. She loved the location, indoors and outside. The views are spectacular. It was fairly windy so we sat inside. The menu was limited as there were power issues in the kitchen. What was available was from the barbecue. I opted for the burger. Not something I'd usually choose. It was delicious. Huge with two patties and all the trimmings inside it. Great selection of drinks, some fairly unique compared to other pubs. The staff are pleasant and professional. It would have been 5* for food if the kitchen had been up and running.

Delicious food. We had chicken and mushroom pie, fish and chips, vegetarian curry, mushroom pie between us and each dish was hot, delicious and brought out together. Service was also good. We are so lucky to have this place on our doorstep.

Very nice place, I recommend the Sunday roast. In addition, the outside atmosphere is very pleasant with views of the lake.

Amazing place, the view over the lack is spectacular. The staff are lovely they all have a smile for you

Staff were amazing, working on hot day like that. The view was beautiful. Lovely beer garden.

The food was lovely this time. Good service from all staff.

Unreal find, totally dog friendly, local dog walks and lively food. Service spit on too something alot of pubs struggle with.....

One of our favourite places to have a drink. Wonderful view of the lakes and Coln Valley regional park from the outdoor dining area - like a romantic rural landscape! Drinks and food are varied - all tasty. Only downside is the bar queues can be very long in the summer.

Beautiful pub . Polite and friendly staff. The meal was fantastic we love it ! And being able to go out afterwards into the garden was a great touch 💚

The venue is amazing, the view is stunning. I've been going here for years. It used to have standard of food and a price to match. Now the prices are still high and all the food has gone to microwaveable bought in fair.

I absolutely love this Restaurant/Bar, it's a lovely restaurant overlooking a beautiful lake, especially on a warm summers evening, sitting outside, drink in hand, relaxing, unwinding whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery. I have been here a few times now but my husband has never been. We came along for dinner, we both ordered the same, The Moroccan Lamb burger which was cooked perfectly, my husband who is a chef told the waiter, " tell the chef, AMAZING FOOD". Chef to chef.. definitely recommending eating here. Everyone and everything was brilliant, I really enjoyed my dinning experience.

Food only just acceptable, hard cabbage was the only veg with my pork and hardly any choice of food because of Sunday menu. Will not be returning, shame as the pub and setting is very nice.

Lovelly food and fast, friendly service

Really poor this evening. Party of 12 for a 50th birthday. Booked 6 weeks ago and confirmed the booking. Yet when we arrived they had no idea, couldn’t find the booking and then had t prepared for us at all. Service was awful slow, 2 meals forgotten, and then suggested we hadn’t paid enough! Food was nice but overshadowed by the awful service.

Overpriced! One aperol spritz and a beer cost £18!! Then we had lunch in the garden which you could only order from the bbq menu. The actual green egg bbq wasn’t used and they were frying burgers on a frying pan in the kitchen bit. The burger was over cooked and very dry! My partner ordered a chicken caesar salad and when it arrived it had some sort of small fish in it like sardines!! No croutons either. Luckily we aren’t allergic to fish but it did not mention on the menu it had fish in it. The only good thing about this pub is the location and the views…

Sat outside overlooking in Coln Valley Beautiful spot. Family and dog friendly. The chicken burger was a tad dry and expensive for what it was, chips were delicious and naughty enjoyed by all. Will we return ... ABSOLUTY ....

Gob smacked was an understatement. It was a works drinks so didn't try the food but will definitely be going back to try

It’s a very cozy place but bar food was disappointed… they served cold food… we ordered burger they served cold when we complaint they made it again but it was cold again… but ambiance is really nice… food is good in restaurant area…. You can go having beer

The food was gorgeous, big portion sizes, so great for big appetites, and a good range in options (if you're not vegetarian). The outside area has a great view with a nice amount of parking available.

Very good menu Very good service Reasonably priced Good selection of beer and real ales Outside dining covered and uncovered Great in the summer Ample parking Great views over the lakes , even better at sunset Well worth a trip *****

The place is nice but the staff with rather scarse costumer service skills.

Always lovely food, reasonably priced. Gorgeous views!

I recently visited The Old Orchard and had an outstanding experience! The pub offers stunning views that create the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Highly recommended for a date night or drinks with friends

Very cosy restaurant Very good service Very good menu and great desserts

Great food with a fantastic choice of beers 😋 the only thing that let's the place down is the slow service.

Brilliant restaurant with lovely views and great food.

As my first visit, I throughly enjoyed it, the food amd service was excellent and I loved the fact that dogs were allowed to sit with their families 😍

Food very disappointing!! Having read the reviews I expected better! Nice location/pub and staff were attentive. The meals ordered were not difficult to get right and not very nicely presented. It was a birthday lunch for my son and left feeling underwhelmed. Based on the food alone, I would not return.

Great view from this pub nice food,But still no background music and no comfy seating areas inside and out! There are lovely big windows where there needs to be some high tables and comfy high stools so you can see the view and spend time drinking! Needs some comfy sofas as well . When will this happen!!!! The coy carp down the road has lovely seating areas and live music but I prefer the food here but there's no atmosphere!

I read the reviews on this pub before booking and they seemed generally good. The pub itself is in a great setting which was the main highlight of the visit. The staff were attentive but the food was very disappointing. It was my son’s birthday lunch and the food should have been good enough to want to go back - it wasn’t!! I ordered the burger which came with fries. No attempt at presentation on the plate and the bun was soggy and filling a mess. My son had the mushroom and chicken pie that was drowned in white wine sauce. These are not difficult meals to get right and I decided half way through my main that I would not be going back! This is the second time I have been disappointed with Brunning and Price pubs. The standard of food is simply not good enough!!

Food was mainly good when it finally arrived 2 hoursafter ordering. 1 portion of sirloin steak was mainly gristle which was disappointing. Manager did reduce the bill to apologise, but it did somewhat spoil the 60th birthday celebration.

I have been here many times, food has been fantastic, on this occasion, and this does count tremendously, i ordered a medium rare sirloin steak, it came out well over done, so I returned the steak for a replacement, i took my family of 13 +1 to the this pub, (some money was spent), when my Second steak came out minus my sauce and chips, my family had already eaten, this steak was an old peace of meat that had not even cooked, even the manager looked at it in disgust. Gave me a refund and a round of drinks. (5 pints of Asahi) this was not the point, tried to talk to the manger after I had a replacement meal ( prawn starter), only to be confronted by the chef, what an arrogant unprofessional guy, I had to tell him to walk away. Gave me another discount, not the point I wasn't there for discount or for free beer, I was there for my family, very disappointed. I won't post pictures of my food.

A great place for an outdoor lunch on one of the hottest days of the year.

Being gluten free I'm always limited on pub menus but not here. An amazing inclusive menu fantastic service A great pub overall we shall def be going back. Finally a pub that serves a great GF fish and chips

Lovely views across the lakes below spoilt only by concrete used to build HS2

Good selection of beers and ciders. Amazing views and food!

one of the best Sunday lunches I've had this year! The beef AND chicken roast was huge but absolutely delicious. Our waitress Brook was very helpful and friendly and we can't wait to come back and try the rest of the puddings (the waffle was out of this world!)
