The Orange Tree in South Lakeland

This place isn't great. The food wasn't nice and the portions are small. The staff are quite nice - one lady was very rude. Won't go again!!

Amazing lunch , burgers were the best we've ever had. Excellent friendly staff Highly recommend

Really nice pub this very friendly and good beers staff are 👍 great super setti g as well we'll worth a visit

We recently had an overnight stay at this wonderfully quaint English Pub. The room was adequate, with a very comfy bed, tea & coffee making facilities, and sockets on each side of the bed. The bar area has a good busy atmosphere in the evening with a very well stocked bar, and good service too! The food is excellent too. For evening meal we had a succulent sizzling steak and a delicious chilli con carne, both cooked to perfection! 👌 The next morning for breakfast, we both opted for a full English breakfast, and I have got to say it was the best that we have had to date! Superb quality food and plenty of it. All served with tea, coffee toast, & juice. All of the waitresses were extremely polite and attentive, as were the staff both in the restaurant and behind the bar. We would definitely recommend a visit to this establishment for food and drinks if you're in the area. A big thank you must also go to the kitchen staff for the deliciously prepared food. ●Tip There is no on-site parking, only roadside, and it can be difficult to find a parking spot, so give yourself extra time if you have reserved a table Many thanks to all the management and staff at The Orange Tree, Kirkby Lonsdale. 👏

Rooms clean and comfy beds. Food lovely breakfast big and tasty 😋 staff very friendly and helpful, pub has a good atmosphere very friendly and everyone talks to each other a very enjoyable stay thank you

Great traditional pub in an excellent location, best pub in town in my opinion. Great service and friendly bar staff. Haddock and Chips for Friday lunch was a bargain at £7.95 and it was delicious.

Lovely pub with helpful staff. Menu was impressive. Portions were massive and very tasty. Food enjoyed by all the family,including the dog. Well priced. Would recommend

A great British pub excellent food and beer and always great staff

After a lovely walk along the river by devils bridge, myself my daughter and a friend popped in for dinner! The food was fantastic and the portions were amazing! Staff were super friendly! Would highly recommend!

Second visit beer still good as is service.

Stumbled on this fabulous little pub as we walked around ,decided to have a cheeky pint 😀 the host was top notch ,very welcoming, the real ale was very nice and the food was lovely, definitely recommend this place 😀

Loved this place! Proper old skool pub that oozes character right down to the smell. It reminded of the pubs I grew up around when my Dad was a landlord. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and a good bar selection.

Genuine friendly pub, serving great food. Dog friendly too,but only in the bar area.

Nice little bar at top end of village Friendly welcome. Prices very competitive However, watch your timing as they don't serve food all day

I really enjoy my meals and service is excellent, good atmosphere.

Called for a drink and food Had been in other pubs in Kirkby longsdale this pub was the best. Lovely helpful staff Served straight away Food freshly made Pub clean with no glasses left on tables Only down side a lot of large dogs lying around hard to get to your seat , but not the pubs fault

What's not to like, good beer good food and at a good price, didn't stop in the rooms was a walk in, will be back again.

This pub is not on the main street, so only found it on my second night. Friendly bar staff, good, generous servings. Serve local beer. Steak night very popular, just as well I booked!

Very traditional pub with good selection of good quality beer. Rugby memorabilia throughout

We stayed at the Orange Tree and it was a grat mini break - Staff were soo helpful and pleasant and the food was super - had the BBQ Chiken and amazing chunky chips - my wife had the build a burger deal which she really enjoyed - Our room was lovely and comfortable and clean and this mornings breakfast was really amazing served by staff who care - thanks to the team - we will for sure return

Characterful pub just off the beaten track in gorgeous Kirby Lonsdale. For rugby fans a must. Near a very very very good butcher's !

After visiting here for breakfast last year thought we would do it again this year as we previously enjoyed it. Wow what a difference, we had to wait nearly an hour for the hot food and when it came out it was overcooked and burnt. No one asked us if the meal was okay and we (all four of us)ended up leaving most of it. When we went to pay we complained about the breakfast and the chef charged us for two meals instead of four . Such a shame it has gone downhill as we like this place.

We stayed in Kirkby Lonsdale and wanted somewhere near to our accommodation to eat on the first night. This pub was opposite our holiday home and after reading some reviews we wondered if it would be any good! It was really good!! Service was good, food was served fresh and hot - very tasty, can recommend the homemade lasagne!! There was a really buzzing atmosphere in the pub-full of locals and tourists. It’s not gourmet or 5 star but it does just the job - lovely home made food and a good selection of beers and ales. Pub is also dog friendly.

Such a great pub and restaurant. Annalise was such a great host and made us both feel welcome and told us all about the days menu and offers. There is a great selection of beers and the food is excellent. I got the self build burger which was freshly made by Kate the chef and was incredible. My wife got the prawn cocktail which was so tasty and the biggest portion we’ve ever had. A super friendly pub with great food and great beer. Our 2nd visit on night two was exactly the same. Excellent food, service and beer. Thank you.

Great dog friendly pub, good grub and welcoming staff.

Many happy memories in this place.. visiting the village in a couple of weeks.. will definitely be dropping in for a few singing gingers

The Orange Tree is a lovely historic English Pub, which serves a wide range of cask ales mainly from the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery. Friendly staff and good service. Well worth a visit.

Excellent beer and good atmosphere

Staff need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Love the interior and lay out of this place. Very relaxing and the staff are great

Family meal. Would have rated higher but it was very cold, we all kept our coats on. Very old building with very narrow seating in alcoves.

What can I say? What a pub. Fantastic place to stay; eat and drink. Staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Stayed for my partners birthday, and they left a little present in our bedroom. Partner was really made up. Will definitely be going back later in the year. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Mr Morris

Lovely friendly staff. Very accommodating. Dog friendly. Food was delicious. Definitely will return.

We had a fabulous evening meal here. Great portions. 1 scampi, 1 lasagne & 1 mixed grill for two.

The first time here, Tuesday afternoon, empty but gentleman behind the bar was very friendly. Nice decor in old pub, lots of rugby 🏉 pictures which we like. We have not tried food, but all in all, it's a good stop off point.

Local couple Bit disappointed to be honest, pub was very cold no log fire as advertised and in January one would expect it to be lit. Ordered two burgers with two pints of KL , advertised on the wall board at £13.95 each on a Tuesday (which it was) but was charged normal menu price so £31.30. Only £3.40 difference so obviously not going to break the bank , but that’s not the point . Staff wer friendly and burger was very tasty (not coming with chips was a surprise though) but just makes you leaving the establishment feeling a bit let down…and hungry.

Best pub in Kirby, excellent food, very reasonable prices. Welcoming atmosphere with friendly happy staff that go out of their way to make your experience enjoyable

Really nice food nice atmosphere and nice people

Great service by Liv, friendly place

Stunning traditional pub, friendly staff, amazing burgers. The range of locally brewed real ales are well worth trying.

Recommended to this pub by local shopkeeper. On entering thought it looked like good old fashioned pub. Friendly landlord/manager. Only a few people in at 12.30pm. We both ordered Gammon with chips eggs pineapple and peas. I got a pint from the bar that the manager changed with apologies when I noticed that it remained cloudy. The food arrived quickly and when we looked at our plates we asked if it was Gammon as it was thinly sliced and looked cold. The managed said that's how we serve it! New one on us. We decided not to complain as we were a bit pushed for time. After we had been eating for a few minutes the manager came and said my mistake- 'senior moment' and offered to replace it but we said not enough time. He offered us a free drink each that we refused. Despite this about 5 minutes later he brought us half of beer each! The chips were lovely, the eggs were good but the ham wasn't the best. Sliced too thin and suffered with the fried eggs being placed on top of it. Very disappointed that we didn't get what we ordered and were charged £36 for meals we didn't want including pint and half of beer. We were just visiting the area and are not likely to be over this way soon but if we are we shall try one of the other 6 pubs in the immediate area.

Just had a glorious 2 nights here with my good wife..absolutely superb in every way. .. food and beer was fantastic..room and bathroom brilliant..love it here and coming again..

This is a cracking pub that serves solid great tasting food. Fish and chips here are epic! The beer is kept in great condition and its a place I go to whenever we visit KL. A gem of a pub in a nice location.

Amazing food - absolutely perfect. We didn't eat anywhere else on our weekend away! Great staff - so friendly and welcoming. A lovely place to spend the evening. We can't praise this pub highly enough. Just pop in, and you will be very happy you did :-)

Mój pobyt w tym hotelu był wyjątkowy. Pokoje były czyste, przestronne i dobrze wyposażone. Obsługa była przyjazna i zawsze gotowa pomóc. Śniadanie było obfite i smaczne, z dużym wyborem potraw. Lokalizacja hotelu jest idealna - blisko głównych atrakcji i łatwy dostęp do transportu publicznego. Zdecydowanie polecam ten hotel zarówno dla podróżujących służbowo, jak i turystów.

Local couple, been here many times in the past. Disappointing, poor service, average food, not offered desert or coffee. After a considerable time past while they prepped for breakfast service we asked to see the duty manager, we were told that he was busy washing up and that if we wanted to speak to him we would have to go and stand by the kitchen door. This was a Saturday night & we were the only people left in the restaurant. Our table was booked for 8pm & this was just after 9pm.

I been visiting here from the netherlands went to grab something to eat here last night me and my mate had the starter palet and it was amazing the bbq sauce is so unbelievably delicious and the chicken omg its amazing actually mouth watering food here deffo coming back to england just to grab a other bite here

Traditional old pub, young staff who are very efficient. Good choice of beers, unfortunately the two glasses of wine my other half had were not good quality, as were the fish and chips, Monday night special at £13.95, unfortunately the batter wasn't very nice and the chips felt like they'd been reheated a couple of times.

Someone in the kitchen really knows what they are doing here. Although the ingredients were simple, they were cooked to perfection. The best sweet potato fries I have had and the gammon wasn't too salty.

Great pub , great location , thought food a bit pricey.

Stayed for 2 nights in September on a school reunion. I left my pill box in my room (they contained the pills to control my cancer). The pub sent it back to me in a jiffy bag, not asking for any postage payment (£4.15). What a wonderful set of people own/work there. Thank you so much. Great pub, great room, great beer and food.

Proper pub food. Attentive staff, generous portions, well cooked, extensive menu. What you would expect from a traditional pub.

Short stay in Kirkby Lonsdale and ate here twice. Tuesday night was build a burger and it was great. Butterfly chicken breast with 3 additional toppings was delicious. Thursday night I had really good steak with a stilton and mushroom sauce. Sometimes you only know it's Stilton because it says it on the menu but this had a good balance of flavour and chunks of mushroom. Service was prompt without being rushed and staff friendly and polite. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Never been more disappointed. Booked for my dads 60th birthday having been before and enjoyed! 2 Starters came out 10 minutes before the rest, already off to a bad start. Starters were ok but nothing overly special. Time for the mains… Cumberland sausage looked cremated, 3 sirloin steaks supposed to be cooked medium rare were closer to blue. Buttermilk chicken burger had 2 tiny pieces of chicken in, some sad looking lettuce and some Mayo in a bun. Having an 18 month old with us, we went to ask where the baby changing facilities were. Only to be told the best they could provide was a changing mat to be placed on the female toilets floor. Mentioned complaints to a staff member who seemed mortified and tried her best for us but was unable to rectify any of the issues. Having planned to have deserts, we changed our minds and just paid and left. To top it off, the following morning the 18 month old of our party is vomiting following his meal of the kids fish and chips. All in all, a very disappointing experience for what was supposed to be a lovely milestone birthday celebration. Will not ever be returning.

Once meal ordering difficulties were resolved - delivered 2 out of 4 cold hot side orders & 2 out of 5 wrong meals, the food itself was fairly good. 3 of these errors were fairly quickly sorted but one replacement meal took around 15mins by which time 4 of our party had finished their meals. No real apology received beyond blaming the faults on kitchen & staffing challenges arising owing to them being busy! Bringing our disappointing experience to their attention via email 24hrs after dining with them, after the elapse of a further 72hrs, a response is still awaited!

The best steaks in town. Wednesday night is steak night. Good ales on tap. Excellent and attentive bar and restuarant staff.

Excellent weekend here, staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was fantastic, can highly recommend the steak and the best onion rings I’ve ever had! We would definitely stay here again.

Great traditional menu, wonderful for restaraunt or bar meals but the takeaway option works really well for us.

A very traditional English pub, with a great selection of beers. Food is excellent and portions generous. Staff are friendly, good fun and helpful. It's one of our go to places in Kirkby Lonsdale. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service great food and excellent staff very friendly environment good beer and real local ales

Old world pub. We went for its locally made beer. I come here every time I visit Kirkby Lonsdale. In.a quiet street only metres close to town centre.

Restaurant prices for pub food, very over priced. Four of us went and we totally felt ripped off. I had a steak and baked potato £26.00 and pepper sauce which was an extra £3.50. Sorry I will not be returning!

Steak night at the Orange Tree is what legends are made of. The steaks were all delicious, the staff very polite and appeared to be enjoying their jobs. If you are ever anywhere near Kirkby Lonsdale on a Wednesday night, this place is a must.

Staff were polite and helpful. Food was nothing soevisl for the price and very limited choice if you are vegan or a vegetarian.

Booked last minute and was not disappointed. Food was fabulous, plenty to choose from and it was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful and a decent pint too. Would definitely recommend anyone to visit here, you won't be disappointed. Well done all 👍

We came here as a party of 3 on Wednesday and it was my first visit. The staff were amazing. We were served by Liv and she was fantastic! Food was to die for and we will hopefully be coming back this Wednesday for steak...

Just had an excellent meal. Staff very friendly and well organised. A must if you are in the area. We will be back next time we are at Carnforth.

Even gave the waitress my number (my girlfriend i was with wasn't best pleased) and she texted me back. 10/10, will definitely be visiting again. Strapping young man behind the bar too.

Popped into here on our last night of our New Year Yorkshire stay purely based on TripAdvisor reviews, glad we did, amazing food, service and experience! Highly recommend if anyone's in the area!

We had dinner at the Orange Tree last night. The staff were excellent, very attentive without being intrusive. The food was OK, fairly standard pub food. My main issue was how cold it was in there. It was a really cold night anyway but it...

Good choice of meals, friendly cheerful staff, good prices. Clean toilets. Wish they had rice as choice with chill option.

We had an outstanding meal at the Orange Tree. Lasagne, mixed grill and chicken nuggets off the childs menu. The service was polite and friendly. Very little waiting time. Tilly (waitress) was excellent at engaging our son (6 years) in conversation. We would highly recommend.

We booked a table for a long-awaited get together. The bar staff had great knowledge of the local beers which are excellent (KL Brewery). The food is freshly prepared and the portion sizes won't disappoint. The bar area was busy with a great mix of...

To be honest we ended up here because everywhere else in Kirby Lonsdale was either closed on a Tuesday night or fully booked. A typical pub. Good choice of beer and lagers with friendly staff. Standard pub food that you can get in most food...

Wonderful local pub which serves real ales and wholesome food. The food is even available to takeaway, which is great if you are staying in Kirkby Lonsdale. Very friendly staff, well worth a visit.

We were pointed to this pub by our hosts at the Sun Inn….well we were not disappointed…excellent food…too much for me….kept watching sizzling steaks go past me on the slab…..my King Burger…as it says King…very very good. Well worth the cost…recommend this without any shadow...

For me this pub did the 3 things from you expect: great beer, good food, friendly service. Quaint pub inside and full of character. They have a lunchtime special each day which is great value.

Had sirloin steak and peppercorn sauce the sauce tasted too peppery and runnier the meal, can cook better myself and wasnt cheap either

Nice place, reasonably priced, good service, helpful staff. We had the bbq chicken with pineapple, burgers, nachos and a child’s meal. Good portion sizes. Dog friendly which is a great bonus.

Friendly staff who know the area well and were happy to advise us. The Orange Tree is a proper pub and the atmosphere was buoyant and good fun. Our dogs were made most welcome as were the various pooches dotted about the place. The team...

Great place to eat in Kirkby Lonsdale 9 friends went for a night a chose to eat here all the food was brilliant and another plus the beer was great to from the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery

The property requires a deep clean. Our table was dirty, the menus were tatty and grease marked, they had not been cleaned in some time. The menu itself lacked imagination and had only one vegetarian main meal “ A Veggie Burger “. Our table was...

I poppe on to the Orange Tree while staying in the village for three days, and wished I'd have stayed there rather than down the road. Lovely bar staff, great beer and good food, what more do you need. And quitky carpet.

Excellent food, very friendly and helpful staff. Absolute superb evening. We would recommend a visit
