It was a nice meal, but cold in the venue. People had their coats on inside. By 10pm they clearly wanted people to go as they kept spraying the tables and walking around pushing chairs in.

Went for lunch on a Saturday with my grandma. She ordered the light fish and chips, and I had the Mac Salad with chicken breast. When the dishes arrived, I couldn’t help the food envy wash over me, as I eyed up my grandmas wonderful plate of crispy fish with a healthy portion of fries, in comparison to what could be described as the driest unseasoned chicken breast, hiding a portion of salad which wouldn’t even satisfy a bunny. I’m not one to complain, but being served this microscopic plate for near £13 raised my eyebrows to the rafters. I went up to the bar to explain the rabbit food situation, which the bartender AGREED, it was a small portion. He was kind enough to supply me with further roughage at no extra charge, but I feel if even they know they are serving such small sizes, something should be done? No fault for the rest of the pub, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere is cosy.

Dreadful food! Party of 4 for a birthday meal. Worst meal I’ve ever had to pay for. I had the hunters chicken. Chicken was dry, the cheese possibly bbq sauce was burnt, no bacon. Dry jacket potatoes & a portion of coleslaw. Went to complain but couldn’t find anyone. Another member had the steak & ale pie. Chips were ok, veg was microwaved to an inch of its life, carrots & broccoli were inedible, pie was ok. The other two had steaks which were ok but not great. A waitress practically threw a bottle of ketchup on the table & then left so quickly I didn’t get chance to ask for butter for my potato & barely spoke to us left the plates on the table & didn’t ask who ordered what & just left. Obviously won’t be returning as the food wasn’t of any standard I eat again.

I recently visited The Orange Tree for a Sunday lunch while single parenting for the weekend, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service remained swift and friendly, which is always a plus when dining with little ones. The roast dinners were generous in portion size, with standout Yorkshire puddings that were both large and delicious. The only minor drawback was that a few of the roast potatoes were undercooked, but this small issue didn’t detract too much from the overall meal. All in all, The Orange Tree provided a satisfying Sunday lunch experience with great service, and I'd happily return for another meal.

Jordan, our server, couldn't have been kinder and more helpful. I have certain food intolerances but they catered for my needs, no issues, as well as for my husband. We both highly recommend it and thanks again Jordan ☺️

We decided to celebrate our friend’s birthday at this restaurant, drawn by its 4.4 rating and numerous positive reviews. Excited for a wonderful evening, we booked a table in advance. Our reservation was at 8:15 PM, and we arrived and settled at our allocated table by 8:25 PM. To our dismay, a staff member promptly informed us that we needed to place our orders within five minutes as the kitchen would be closing. This was shocking and frustrating, especially since the restaurant was listed as open until 11 PM. We received no prior warning or communication about this early closure, which we found to be incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. The rushed atmosphere significantly dampened our celebratory mood. The staff hurried us so much that we barely had time to glance at the menu and ended up ordering the first items we saw. When the food arrived, it was another letdown. Despite the positive reviews, the main courses were subpar and lacked the quality we had anticipated. Only the starters were somewhat enjoyable. *It seemed evident that the rushed service impacted the preparation and overall quality of the dishes* In summary, our experience at Orange Tree was far from satisfactory. The staff’s behavior and the poor quality of the main courses completely ruined what was supposed to be a joyful celebration. Given this, I would rate this highly-rated restaurant 0/5 if I could. However, since that’s not possible, I’m reluctantly giving it 1 star.

Bloody Amazing. My wife and I were just looking for half an hour out to relax and have a quiet drink. Maybe share a side dish. Popped in here and stayed for longer due to the exceptional service. The food we ordered was delivered quickly, hot and portion size was Stella. I cannot stress enough the amazing service. The greeting when we first walked in, the warm , kind and smiley service at the bar. The polite and genuine service when food was brought over. Just exactly how it should be and used to be. Made me so happy, I suffer badly with my mental health and struggle to be out and certainly find somewhere I am happy and calm. This review needs to be acknowledged by the Area manager and please recognise the brilliant team on shift. We were there between approx 15:00 and 16:00. Due to the great welcoming environment and food, we hung around to chat and even had a mini dessert and coffee. Blown away. Thank you. We shared the nibbly bits platter, a St.Clements and then two mini desserts. The pub was clean and well maintained. 5 stars plus.

Absolutely appalled by one of the staff members who was helping out on this particular day, absolute ZERO customer service skills, arrogant and just rude!! ordered a side of bloomer sliced bread which he brought out to us... dry as a bone, when i questioned why the bread was so dry and seemed stale, he just replied... the kitchen is hot and that is how the bread is.. no apology at all... just extremely rude and arrogant with bad attitude.... wont be eating there again. Then when ordering our coffees a little later.... he was very rude again... as i asked if possible to make the coffee hotter.... absolute arrogance... i complained and a lovely young lady took over and made us lovely hot coffees, it was just an awful experience the whole afternoon and we had spent a lot of money.

We had a lovely meal to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The service was good , but then something strange happened. One of the staff came over around 9.30pm and said they would be closing soon and calling last orders at 10pm. Admittedly the pub was quiet for a Saturday night but it put a dampener on the whole evening. We stayed to around 10.30pm when a staff member came over and said ‘we’re closing !’ Obviously wanted to get home .

Booked a table for a nice evening meal with the expectation of great food as experienced from previous visits. However, myself and my partner decided to go for the specials menu this time and opted for the Fish pie £15.95. Sounds great on the menu but when it arrived and we started to dig in I would say that a Young's fish pie from Icelands has more fish and flavour to it than what we were served and would of paid a fraction of the price. And the veg that came with the pie obviously came out of a steam microwave bag with no character to it and it was just flat. Apart from the let down with post COVID portions I would say that the atmosphere staff and service was great but unfortunately the food standard has declined.

This place has really gone downhill food wise. I love the atmosphere and decor, but the food was dire. We went for Sunday Lunch for my husbands birthday. I had the roast gammon which was cold, the veg luke warm with a tiny splash of gravy. Is gravy rationed? I can imagine the food was in a row in the kitchen and just slapped onto the plate one by one! No attempt at presentation. Staff were attentive despite the place being full. To top it all when my husbands cake was brought out it was placed in front of me……….They really need a good chef to shape up that kitchen. Such a shame.

Very disappointed with the food. I asked for Mac Salad which was supposed to have chopped tomatoes, cabbage, spring onions, spinach etc and when the food came, the only thing on my plate were lots of spinach leaves. I complained about this, pointing to the other ingredients on the menu only to be told "That's how it comes" My friend ordered soup of the day and it came in a very small dish (probably half the ladle full). I left my salad, as it wasn't what I had ordered and anticipated, but in the end they charged me for it. They told me to complain 'higher up'.

I'm afraid to say this is the first time I've ever had to write a negative review for the orange tree. We were here for my husband's birthday, unfortunately my food was cold, stuffing was under cooked, potatoes were undercooked. It was very much a production line roast dinner, shame as we had been there the two weeks prior and the roast was delicious hence why we came back with further family. Granted the place was busy, but we left very disappointed with what was received. I hope this is not a new trend as we love the orange tree and never have really had a bad meal here

Really nice setting. Staff very pleasant. We had the grill, was gorgeous. Our waiter was really patient with us changing the order of what we wanted and not wanted on our plates. Think his name is Bailie. Well done and thank you

Well managed pub-restaurant. There was a large post-funeral group when we arrived; nevertheless there were enough staff to deal with us promptly and we had a table in a quiet part; the premises are quite large and pleasant. Table staff were sensible and knew their jobs (well done Bailey) and clearing, getting more drinks etc etc were all accomplished professionally. The food was of a high standard. If I have one reservation, the menu is a little quirky. Burgers and steaks, fine, but not much else for me in the carnivorous line. I had fish and chips which was fine. I had pea soup too, the first time I have found a "proper" soup on a pub menu for a long time. Under £100 for four, two courses, drinks and coffee.

We came to see Danny who was the Michael Jackson tribute, it was a great night. Well done to the orange tree for putting this on!. Didn’t eat last night at the orange tree.

I come here once a month for Monday quiz night. Can't comment on the food, but service is good and staff friendly. As a female it can be sometimes daunting coming into new local pubs, but the staff will make you feel at home and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Keep it up guys :)
