When I got there the staff demanded me and my wife to sit down although I'm in a wheelchair. I got a glass of vodka and it tasted like pure vinegar. I then went to order the cod & chips meal and before it got there I could see a lady picking off my plate before I even got it. I asked for NO lemon on my due to my highly bad allergy to lemons but the first bite of fish tasted sour. I immediately noticed there was lemon on my fish. I rushed to the staff screaming "CALL 999! " But they shouted at me telling me to "GET OUT OF THE BAR ELEPHANT MAN! " luckily a kind gentleman had a EpiPen in his bag so it saved my life. NEVER AGAIN

not impressed - i should have known when i telephoned - took ages to answer - service at the bar took too long. food nothing special - roast chicken with bread sauce - no sauce - new chef - how long does it take to make make that. i got the impression it is all brought in ready prepared veg - yorkshire puddings - potatoes were certainly not crispy and hard and pale. chicken and pork belly ok nothing wow never even shown a dessert menu very average - would not waste my money again there seems to be a big thing that you do not have meals on a sunday late - only early evening - not just this pub but the alma arms is the same - closes at 5pm on a sunday

Visited the Orange tree for a funeral function at lunchtime. We were provided with a lovely separate area and a private bar with a fantastic spread of food. The staff were attentive and overall I couldn’t find fault. I would highly recommend the Orange tree for making this event a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

So so disappointed with the roast dinner and others with us also. Went for the roast pork with apple sauce as stated on menu, had to ask for sauce. The pork was hard and parsnips the rest of veg tasted burnt, gravy tasted like beef (obviously use same gravy for all roasts). Left dinner, mentioned it to waitress but she just looked and never commented. Have had meals here before and have been ok. But we won't be coming back to eat

Really nice food in a really nice rustic pub. The staff are friendly and the service is good. Staff are young and inexperienced, but they work hard and I appreciate it is hard to get staff these days, and they will improve with time. I won’t say the food was amazing and the portions are not very generous, but overall the food was good, and we all had a very nice time, with a few laughs and a few giggles. What more can you ask for. It is also a dog friendly venue and there were several dogs with their owners, and they were all very well behaved. Will I visit again? Maybe I will, and maybe I won’t, but only because it is not in a part of London that we normally visit. 😀

Lovely pub and staff great. Been there several times and food good and beer great. This week saw only one real ale on, high ABV at 4.5% and awful, cloudy and warm. Appalling for a pub. This pub seems now to cater for Lager drinkers, very sad but probably due to their clientele. Has put me off returning.

If i could leave half a star i would. We took my father in law to lunch for his birthday, there were 6 adults and a one year old. Our waiter got most of the order wrong, including giving a full priced sunday roast to the one year old and seemed surprised that we said he'd never be able to eat all that. We ordered 3 lamb roasts, all came up raw, one of our guests didn't want a new meal so had nothing. When the 2 new lamb dinners returned, there was some cooked lamb and some raw but it was all mostly fat. Everything was completely overseasoned. We were charged for 7 adult meals even though we ordered 6 but one was returned without a replacement. It was absolutely awful and I'm very disappointed that we were asked to pay full price for everything considering the dreadful experience we had. A ruined birthday lunch. I would steer clear of this place and perhaps go to either The Rabbits or Top Oak which are far superior.

Shame...seemed like a nice pub, in a nice spot, with several outside tables, but ordered food at 1.30 which arrived at 2.30 after having to ask about it a couple of times. The people behind me in the queue were warned food would be 30-40 mins, but an hour is double that and unacceptable for a light lunch (i.e. sandwiches & ham and chips etc). Our little one was feeling sick with hunger by the time it arrived. We are not problematic clients, and they could have pulled it back with an apology and perhaps an offer of a complimentary drink, but neither were offered. My fries did not appear, again no apology when I went back in to get them refunded. Won't be going back.... Ps. if you do decide to go, the two cooked meals were nice, but both sandwiches were very basic.

Should have listened to previous reviews. Made to feel very unwelcome. Hair in pint, waitress looked so annoyed when we pointed it out, replaced without any acknowledgement/apology. Only 2 people manning busy pub with inside and outside dinning and busy terrace. Better to have closed kitchen if could not cope. would avoid if looking for a nice relaxed meal out and listen to previous reviews that echo the same.

Food was good, menu a bit limited for the Mrs, but shes fussy. Its not really a pub any more. We wanted to have a few drinks before we ate, but you really need to book and we were sat at a table. We were made to feel they were super busy and we would need to be done by 7, which was not a problem. We were shown to a table round the right side of the pub and we were the only ones there. I really didnt feel welcome and it was like they wanted us out ASAP. Never felt like this before in this pub, we will drink here in the summer when you can use the great facilities in the garden, but wont be back until then, I think it has been taken over recently as it wasnt like this early in 2022. Disappointed to say the least

They managed to squeeze us in which was great.Ordered hot wings to start, a kids sausage and chips and 2 roasts.Hot wings was served without any fingerbowl or equivalent like other places in the area, good job we had a baby with us so I could steal her wipes. Not sure how you are supposed to put your mask on with buffalo wing hands, and go to the bathroom.The gravy on the roast was very, very salty. When I mentioned this I was very surprised to get the response... 'yea, we get that alot...' (as in not today - alot in general - wow - change it)Throughout our meal despite me having an empty drink glass nobody asked if we wanted more drinks.And as a final point there are 1m signs everywhere, so when we got to the front door, child and baby in tow there was queue of at least 12 people all by the door. I asked was there another way out and I was pointed to that door.... despite there being a fire exit in the room we were sat.When I asked how are you supposed to stay a meter apart getting past there the bloke manager went back to his clipboard and the woman with the visor just walked off to the door to greet other people.Overall won't be rushing back

The prices have gone up loads for less food and not as good, I must admit I am gutted, it was our local place to eat and no one could touch it for food and value. Bring back the old chef please .

My wife had sea bass which was ok but hardly any sauce and the new potatoes were burnt and the broccoli where do I start! I don't know what had been done to it she couldn't even cut it it was like it was raw but charred at the end.We ordered onion rings as a side and they were soggy and saturated in fat.If you send out a simple thing like a southern fridge chicken burger like that then please don't call yourself a chef!

The food was dreadful - we had bubble & squeak which was the smallest meal I have ever seen and so unlike what it should be - it comprised of mash and a bit of carrot! We had to keep seeking the waitresses to clear the table and for desserts - We haven't even been asked if we want any more drinks.Worse place I have ever been for service and food.Considering it's a week before Christmas we weren't even offered the Christmas menu.Never coming back!!

Wish it had more of the red cabbage though as this balanced it quite nicely. For mains I had the orange tree pie which was steak and kidney and served with mash, carrots and posh cabbage. It was all very tasty and well worth the money. The gravy did taste overly rich which I've noticed from a few visits. The portion sizes create a very filling meal, so much so, I didn't have room for dessert!

we arrived at just after 5:30pm and although busy with several tables reserved managed for find a table that was free and sit down. After 5 mins decided that we would have to get our own menu's as no waitresses were taking any notice; having decided what were going to eat again couldn't get the attention of any staff. Then 5 minutes later we advised to leave or move to a high table as "our" table was booked from 7pm. Didn't need asking twice so we left and had a very good meal elsewhere. Disappointing as our previous visit we had enjoyed a meal meal - only down side then was waiting 20 mins for our bill!

Booked our table on the same day and had no problem. Ordered the button garlic mushrooms for starters and the cheese sauce was delicious. There was a limited menu due to them being busy and certain foods being off the menu. The foods are cooked to perfection and are plentiful. The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful and the manager is such a nice person and takes time to talk to his customers. This is the best pub in the area and well worth a visit

Top Service. Funny taste gravy over all dinner. Lamb chewy and chunky. Saddle of lamb . Shame, all other meals ok. Couple of quid add on charge and give tender leg of lamb.!! Will try again in a few years time. Adious amigos.

I met some old work colleagues for lunch. We were surprised that there was waitress service. The staff were helpful and friendly. We ate from the lunchtime menu, which consists of sandwiches, Jacket potatoes and wraps. One friend had a tuna jacket, which looked delicious. Myself and the other friend had the Kentucky fried chicken wrap. It came with fries and salad and was excellent and good value at £9. Washed down with a superb pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord bitter. The ambience in the pub was pleasant. The place is popular Highly recommended.

We stopped off here after being at Pavillion laser quest. Great pub interior, good menu, small childrens menu. I has the burger with halloumi cheese, the chips are special, came with water cress drizzle dressing. My daughters enjoyed thier meals, would return. Clean, friendly service, might be worthwhile reserving table at peak times to avoid disappointment.

Great menu selection here at The Orange Tree. Light bites, mid-sized options or the full works with three courses. Entirely your choice.

Food is lovely but they don't sell fries with dinner on a Sunday...that's the only reason we go elsewhere

Came here with my wife and baby for lunch and the staff were all very friendly. Seemed very family oriented which we liked and had heard good things from friends. Glad we came here any will likely come back again soon.

Just popped in for a last minute dinner and haven’t been here for a while. Very friendly staff and place is spotless. Didn't intend to stay for the quiz night following dinner but was made to feel so welcome and the food was so good that we just went with it. Great fun quiz and such a nice friendly place to visit. Went straight back for Sunday lunch with family members and ghatbto was great.

Having a drink at this place is okay but the food is a whole different story. I paid £13 for food and it was completely average and such a small portion. Paying £13 for food and leaving hungry is completely unacceptable. I’d never eat here again. No chance

Not eaten a Sunday roast here since the refurbishment and my Italian friend wanted to try it. The day before we visited an Italian restaurant in another town and my friend said it wasn’t the greatest pasta. Today my friend said the roast gammon was delicious and the apple crumble and custard was the best and the whole meal beat the expensive Italian meal the day before. Now that’s a great compliment to the Orange Tree. Thanks everyone yet again

Only popping in for a pint, I can't comment on food but plenty of diners seeming to enjoy what they have. Nice ambiance and decor. Tried a Beavertown Ale. It serves well through a chiller (not cask) and drinks well. Very pricey though at £5.50! No prices on show for any drinks so beware. Seems to have attracted about 20 young (underage) people to the garden area who are happily using the covered area and just smoking. Probably not the best thing to see on arrival for a meal.

Used to frequent this local pub all the time but not again after last night! Shoddy service tables not cleared and refused food because of a private function a hour later. No notice on door or bar absolutely shambolic. Complained to the manager who said (get this) most people have been here all afternoon now so are happy to leave! It was 7pm!! Round up the regulars and get 'em out was very much the vibe. What a way to treat your bread and butter customers. Hope the function was worth it! Never again plenty more local pubs serving good food.. think on Orange Tree.

Disappointing for me with vegetable moussaka, nothing more that veg with cheese on top, rest of party ( of 6) enjoyed their food. Service abysmal, first server in rush, guess was busy ( outside) but then she left so perhaps at end of shift and had enough!

Great pub with a fun and loud atmosphere. Room was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. We stayed in room 12 with a roll top bath which was a nice touch. Breakfast is tasty and comes with the room rate. Hotel is in a brilliant location for shopping, restaurants, bars, and Kew Gardens. Be warned it is rammed when there is a Rugby match on at Twickenham, so be sure to book well in advance if you want to stay here. Best to check the Rugby fixture calendar.

Finally with friends we made time to book a table at The Bank to try the Indian food we had heard so much about and we were not disappointed. It was a pleasure to read a menu that had dishes we were familiar with and some new dishes that we were pleased to try. Explanations were given when we made our order and there were no disappointments. The food was freshly cooked and very well presented. It was a very good atmosphere in the Bank with most people having a meal, but it is also a Bar. Sorry I didn't take any photos, thank you for a lovely evening we will definitely be back.

I absolutely love the food here. The pie and mash is one of the best around. However, I do also go and eat breakfast there a fair bit and it's definitely the best in the area and exceptionally good value for money. Freshly cooked food where they don't skimp on portions is amazing. The chef does lovely cakes (defo try the cherry bakewell!), although I would say he sometimes gets his recipes slightly wrong as they sink in the middle but still taste wonderful lol One thing that lets them down in the young girl that serves in there who is grumpy and looks like she's been sucking on lemons. Brighten up a bit! She's the only reason why I have taken off mark. I felt like putting it back cos Rodders makes up for a lot of things :)

After a really disappointing meal earlier in the week at Marco Pierre white's Italian in London we decided to eat out at a local pub we normally go to. Well, as usual can't fault it, from lovely attentive staff, great service and a speedy hot meal. The bacon and cheese burger was huge and so tasty in comparison to Marcos tiddly charcoaled burger!...and a fraction of the cost.win win. Thanks G I.
