The Orange in City of London, Westminster

Really good Sunday roast on a walk in recently. Recommend the chicken. Huge portions.

From start to finish this is a safe bet for a great time. We sampled a range of starters and some of th best wood fired pizza I have had in a while. It was all on point. Will be back soon.

Lovely atmosphere and the best carrot cake I’ve ever had!

Yesterday I visited The Orange Pub for an early lunch. We were a group of four and seated upstairs. There was no where to hang coats and the dining room was cold. The menu on the website was different from the menu we were given when seated. A couple of the pizzas that were ordered were barely warm. Left underwhelmed and having spent a lot. Very disappointing.

I guess I was thrown because I got what I didn't expect. So I was embarrassed in front of my guests by that. I should have researched it better I used to go on and off over a number of years but it had changed out of recognition. Used to be sophisticated casual with classy food. I recall it as buzzy and lively without the excessive noise and boom boom boom of a bass line from music downstairs and the young and beautiful draping themselves loudly around tables. Now it’s that rather corny attempt to jazz up pizzas etc with unusual toppings That said. The food was delicious. As a party of four we shared several very interesting starters. Then very well cooked unusually topped pizzas. Service was adequate but dull and dour. A rather tired waitress. But adequate. Overall by all means go there to enjoy the thriving trendy folk of Pimlico but not if you valued the more sophisticated food and smart casual feel before it was “improved”. Noisy.

Charming! Excellent service. Perfectly cost on a rainy night. Small plates allow a great tasting experience.

Lovely location and interiors. We went for drinks and discovered the upstairs garden balcony which was a beautiful setting for drinks.

We were in the private dining area which is great. Service was quite slow and the food was okay.

Well below average food. Starter was greasy, gristle, and near inedible. Service staff I assume were on minimum wage school holiday jobs. Why bother running this sort of establishment ?!

Kitchen was backed up and we had to wait over 1.5 hours for any food to come out and when the starters did come out they were tepid at best. The staff were very apologetic, but it was a pretty miserable experience

Good food, great service and nice environment, would definitely recommend

Lots of food on the menu was finished. That’s why we had to order the things we did not want to eat.

The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the aesthetic was gorgeous. My family and I loved this spot so much we went 3 days straight!

Went for Sunday lunch with family last weekend. Had heard good things having previously had an average experience, and wanted to give it a second chance, however we all left slightly underwhelmed. Ordered the family style roast for four, but when it came, the chicken was lukewarm, there was only 2 thin slices of beef, and the two slices of pork were mostly fat, and therefore not much meat to eat on it. Not much veg either. Perhaps serving it in a cold skillet does not help keep the food warm. There was however, plenty of roast potatoes which were nice and crisp. Overall it was very average, verging on disappointing. Would I go back again? No, probably not.

Yesterday afternoon, I visited The Orange Pub for the first time. It had been on my list for a while due to all the great things I’d heard about their food. Unfortunately, the poor service has left me unwilling to return. Our group of six was served by a waitress who, despite not using a notepad to take orders, managed to get one of the drink orders wrong in the first round, though she did apologize for it. When it came to the main course, she still didn't write anything down. Five people at our table received their meals, while I waited around 20 minutes for mine. When the waitress eventually approached, she informed me that I would have to wait even longer. I asked how much longer, but instead of answering, she walked away. Later, she asked my tablemates what I had ordered—while I was in the bathroom—clearly forgetting my meal, which could’ve been avoided if she had just used a notepad. A friend had to ask about my food again as I continued waiting. Despite knowing she had forgotten my order, the waitress only apologized to my friend, who had raised the issue, not to me directly. The constant uncertainty around my meal became a major distraction throughout lunch. Half the time I watched five people eat, and the other half, they watched me. The experience was frustrating and completely avoidable. The staff handled the situation poorly, and I never received a direct apology or any gesture, like a snack or drink, to make up for the delay. It's such a shame, because the food was fantastic.

Very good roast lunch last Sunday. Good service and great food. I will be back. However they don’t take cash. Edit: I cam back here on Saturday 9/14/24 with 3 people. Had a great roast (family style) for 4. Minor things - could have had more veg for 4 people. Only greens and not enough. Carrots would have been nice. Also, we had to ask for steak knives. Good food and good service though. Great location and nice interior.

Wonderful staff, delicious food and perfect cosy ambience. Thank you!

The service was lovely with a very friendly waiter, and the ambience was nice. We are local so come here often. The restaurant was very inflexible about pizza toppings which I found frustrating. I asked for a margherita pizza with pancetta (offered on another pizza alongside pineapple and gorgonzola) for my son. The waiter said they were asked for this all the time and couldn't do it. If your customers are asking for something all the time, perhaps you should take it on board? The other dishes were average to good.

Fabulous food and service, especially loved the mini pizza style breakfasts mmmmm - we found it a great location for shopping in Sloane Square and a short stroll to visit Batterseas new attractions

Went for food so did not stay at the hotel. A premium feel to the pub and much more than just a pub: the first floor dining room is beautiful and the food was excellent. Best steak I’ve had in a long time. Service was friendly and attentive.

Everything was great - food, service and ambience

Popped in for a quick drink. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing pizza’s!! The dough was crispy and the toppings were fresh and generous. Since I have been back 4 times to try each different flavour and all of them were delicious. Highly recommend and hats off to the pizza chef

Great pub, shame about the food. Let’s start with the positives – the pub itself is quite nice. Good atmosphere, great selection of beers, and the service is decent enough. So, if you’re coming here for drinks, you’re in the right place. However, if you’re planning to eat, well… temper your expectations. I’ve been here a few times before, and I used to really enjoy the pizza. Unfortunately, it seems things have gone downhill. My guess? They’ve swapped the pizza chef, and the change is anything but for the better. The pizza is no longer what it used to be. And the kitchen? Let’s just say accuracy isn’t their strong suit. Case in point: they advertise red prawns on the menu, but what arrives is an Argentine prawn, which is… not quite the same, to put it mildly. Attention to detail, especially in menu descriptions, is crucial. In summary: Yes to the pub, no to the restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food - particularly loved the cauliflower, prawns and flat iron steak. Great atmosphere and impeccable service, very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back again.

A most magical meal! The Orange has been remodeled since my last visit in Dec. The dining spaces are warm and comfortable and the menu is beautifully seasonal and deliciously prepared. Trust your server/host/waitperson with recommendations for daily specials or cocktails. From the seasonal tomato starter, to the grilled mackerel daily to the warm flourless chocolate cake with sour cherries standard, everything was perfect!

Went for drinks with colleagues. Managed to get a table outside (limited) and enjoyed a few drinks in the sun. Lovely setting and attentive staff

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere on a Wednesday evening. Ellie was attentive, personable and welcoming to us - exactly what we wanted. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The service was fantastic at The Orange. The food was fantastic! The starters, specially the burrata with peaches and hazelnuts were phenomenal. My favorite dish was the squid with za'atar, which was absolutely delicious. My friend, who had never been to The Orange, was impressed and blown away by the food plus the great service! A big thank you to all of the staff, including Sang our lovely server, for such a memorable and lovely experience.

Lovely spot for a drink and sharing plates and drinks

I love coming to the Orange the service is always so friendly. Plus the pizzas are the best!!!!

Great place to eat and relax. The food is really nice. The service was spot on as well. Very nice restaurant

Although it was very busy, our waitress did more than a good job.

Loved our stay here. Rooms are done beautifully and the team were very accommodating for our group. Thanks. I’ll definitely consider if I need to stay in London again.

Great vibe for drinks and great pizzas

Good service - food was truly awful. Worse than school dinners - the kitchen must be clueless to turn out this quality of food / I felt embarrassed for my guests.

Easy booking online, great service from staff in bar and restaurant. Our food was excellent, the steak was exactly as requested (medium rare) and the pasta (with peas and beans) was delightful. The aircon was a little powerful (we sat upstairs) so maybe check before you sit down? Great value for money too, thank you for a fun evening!

Got to admire the blatant thievery. 15% service charge. £1.23 for charity. As theyvsay in Australia, git fact!

We hosted a dinner for our board members and a number of external stakeholders at the Orange last week, and to say we were impressed is an understatement! The Ebury Room was just the right size for our group of 20 - there was room to mingle over pre-dinner drinks, and space to move around between courses. The quality of the food was exceptional, and I had lots of feedback in particular about the bread that was served post-entree - wow! The standout performance, however, was from the team - they were so attentive to our needs, and so obliging. We will definitely keep the Orange in mind for future events, thank you!

Recently went for a meal there. Sunday evening. The meal was terrible. Service was non existent. Definitely will not recommend. Stay away.

This was deserted on Sunday early August. Prawn pizza was delicious tho few prawns, with perfect bottom for crunch and edible crust. Service charge 15% unwarranted and didn’t like scruffy staff asking twice how our meal was and clearing table before one’s finished.

Lovely spot and great food - small portions though for the £ would be my only criticism. Love the atmosphere though

Beautiful location! However, we had a disappointing experience. I indicated that I am deaf and asked if the server could write down things as I was struggling to understand him. He ignored this, making me uncomfortable, so I just said yes. Several menu items were unavailable, which was frustrating, especially after checking the menu in advance. We were told to finish and leave by 9:30 PM. We were asked twice if we were done while still eating, and at the third time, we felt so rushed that we took our food to go, even though it wasn’t yet 9:30…a shame

Henry I think his name was our waiter and he was really excellent for our visit this week. Absolutely brilliant in service, always there for support. Ran us through the menu and was fantastic with presenting our drinks with love. Amazing service, thank you hen x

Terrible service. Average/bad food. £15 glass of house white wine. Never again.

Went here for a Birthday lunch. Whilst staff were friendly our pizzas were underwhelming. We sat upstairs which had a nice ambience but a ferocious air conditioning unit. They kindly turned it off when I asked after an hour of turning into an icicle. Desserts were fabulous and it is also very dog friendly.

Best Margarita in the area....Orange Margarita's

I passed by the orange a few times and always saw crowds and thought it would be a nice vibe - one of those trendy London spots that are easy to like. Well I was pretty disappointed… not only there wasn’t much of a vibe (not necessarily their fault) but the staff treated us poorly, the pizza was really mid especially for the price and unfortunately the bartender messed up our drinks and then the server was initially rude about it… a real pity because the place is nice and could so easily be likeable :( hope they do better

45-60 min wait for pizza - this included pizza for a child.. food so/so service so./so

Took a while to be served and our gravy and horseradish for the roast beef, pretty much arrived as we finished!!

Warm draught beers, flat Aperol spritz and uninterested staff…not the place to visit in 28° to quench your thirst

I brought my family here for a Roast dinner in 2022, and they were visiting the country again and begged for another Roast at that Orange. We arrived to see you have re-decorated. Very nicely so. However, the menu had changed completely and not for the better. Trusting our first experience, we ordered the Roasts. I ordered the 'Parmigiana' Roast. A lazy way of satisfying vegetarians. Sadly, the Parmigiana was unacceptable. Undercooked and for its price; measly. So much so I sent it back and after seeing the other dishes, decided to not eat. The Roasts were nothing like a classic English Roast. The chicken desperately needed gravy. If there was some, we were not offered any. The pork was okay, although those beans… Yuck! The cabbage was undercooked and not very tasty. The potatoes were dry and not crispy. When you charge your prices, the food needs to be flawless. Also, on our booking we specifically mentioned the need for two highchairs because of twin 1-year olds and the table was placed up two flights of stairs. Not very child friendly. All in all, a very disappointing experience.

An area with many high society residents near Chelsea in London. Dinner with investors from business partners. It was a fun time even though I was nervous. I almost gave up on the volume of the roasted half chicken, but managed to finish it all. Paired with Italian red, the aftertaste is refreshing. By the time I left the store, a crowd had formed around me. The nights in Britain are long.

Good menu, good food (generous helping of King Prawns in an excellent sauce with a yummy tomato salad), decent service and a very nice atmosphere. Great choice on a summer's evening

They are the nicest stuff. They are also accommodating, so considerate, so efficient and love their job. The food is totally delicious. The ambience is Perfect and there are many choices of tables available.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and I love the new interior design. Highly recommend the pub

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday and had a pretty bad experience. The food was some of the worst I’ve had in London—definitely not fresh and tasted like it was microwaved. I had the aubergine parmigiano and a side of potatoes, and somehow, they managed to mess both up. The potatoes, especially, were inedible. I couldn’t believe I paid £60 for just those two items and a drink. The service didn’t help either. Our waiter kept trying to get us to order more, even after we said no to appetizers. He brought us a couple of slices of focaccia without asking and then charged us for them. To top it off, at one point, someone opened the bar’s fridge, and the whole place started smelling like rotten vegetables. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience, and I won’t be going back, ever.

We had dinner and ate pizza and other goodies. Everything was excellent. The service representative was extremely entertaining.

Food was below average, flavourless and not cheap at all. This pub used to serve amazing food. Such a disappointment. Staff clearly bored and just wanted to go home.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is truly a hidden gem of London. The food was amazing. It was literally the best food we had in London. I highly recommend this establishment it is one of my favorites and will be returning soon. 10/10

Great pub to have a beer with friends - Kevin is a really nice guy!

- The bloody mary was undrinkable - it was so watery and tasteless. Worst one I’ve ever had in my life - The sunday roast was nothing exceptional - it comes with roast potatoes (which clearly were frozen as they were so tough on the outside and dry on the inside) and some random greenery - The waitor’s attitude depended on each table; with us he was so rude and condescending but with the table next to us who were “usuals” as he explained to us he was smiling and going the extra mild - The waitor kept hitting my chair every time as he passed by with no apology and would hit the back of my back - When we asked for the bill, same thing we were ignored, forgotten because they were too busy with the table of “usuals” - Paying 15% service charge in a pub is shocking especially for a service that is that tragic Good for them they pick and choose who they want to treat well because I won’t coming back and won’t be one of the “usuals”

Really great pub and the interior decoration was incredible, upstairs has a fantastic vibe. The fish was awesome and the pizza was pretty decent too

Lovely meal and drinks at The Orange. Exceptional service all round but especially from our waitress Ellie. Highly recommended 😊

Put in the blood orange room which was a bit of a dark cold cave ambience wise.

Lovely space with delicious drink menu and meal. Thank you for a great evening out!

Brilliant meal , incredible flavours and nice service. Quality food 😀

Tried the Mirabeau endless lunch today and it was SO good! Hard to pick a favourite dish as everyone was so lovely and the staff were super friendly. Gorgeous spot in Belgravia.

Please can you serve Aperol in glasses that are actually big enough for an Aperol. The lovely bar staff said it’s mandated to serve in a tiny glass. All a bit odd. Thanks!

Good food but terrible slow and forgetful service

Great setting and vibe. Definitely check out the bar downstairs for a cozier and more intimate spot. Be wary. Some pints are £10+

Not the best service, specifically asked for a margarita on the rocks and it arrived in a tumbler with no ice- so then had to ask for ice on the side. The beef roast when brought to the table was just three cuts of beef and a Yorkshire pudding- potatoes and greens came separately which seemed odd as the plate looked bare. The beef was suppose to come with a horseradish crème fraiche but that wasn’t on the plate and had to be requested, only one pot came even though to people had ordered the beef. Chicken roast was nothing to write home about the lemon sage and garlic butter was bland, and it would be nice to have some bread sauce or actual sage stuffing to accompany the dry chicken. Ordered a chocolate pudding for desert which was nice but took 25 mins and a reminder on its whereabouts before it arrived. We also had to go up to pay as it was apparent we had just been forgotten. Won’t rush back, disappointing

The guy who served us was very kind, trying to speak Spanish to us and recommending the best. The food has been very scarce, a plate of pork ribs was more of a tapa and we also lost the Sunday roast, very poor in vegetables and the plate was almost empty compared to other places, the typical bread for this dish was very crunchy and dry . I certainly wouldn't eat again but the draft beer was good.

2 hours for one course, served cold and with one wrong order, then to wait for ice cream for our son for 30 mins before being told they didn’t have any and then being charged for dishes we didn’t have. This used to be one of the best London Sunday lunches. It certainly isn’t now!

A relaxing breakfast with old friends. The menu choices were excellent (I am SO tired of breakfast menus that are egg-centric) and the food and coffee were very good. The kitchen here is obviously well-run. Service was friendly and efficient. The music was at a low volume which we all noted and appreciated at the time, given that we hadn't met for several years and wanted to be able to hear ourselves speak. Having worried that we were perhaps not typical Belgravians, we felt well-looked after and would happily return when in the area.

I came for a lovely dinner on my own and I had the best time. Service was impeccable. My waiter Balazs (I hope that’s the correct spelling) was fantastic. His recommendations for food and matching wines were spot on. He was great entertainment yet professional and efficient. A big well done to the chefs! The food was super fresh and just delicious! Would highly recommend for both food and a relaxing drink

Wonderful waiter and yummy food! Good atmosphere!

The fish was rubbish served on cold side plates. Fine for a beef or pizza otherwise go somewhere else

good food lovely friendly staff clean and buzzy atmosphere

The dining room and the pub are really great. Varied and interesting menu, and a place that manages to seem busy and accessible at the same time. Love it.

Great food - the red prawn pizza especially! Service was also great and super speedy.

Nice pub, freindly atmosphere, good service, prices a little on the higher side but expected for location.

I found it very expensive for 2 classes of wine

Disappointing experience. Having been to the Marylebone sister location and had an amazing time I had high hopes but unfortunately the food was very average and overpriced for what it was. Uncomfortable table sitting next to each other on a bench

Great experience at The Orange Pub! Delicious food as always

Really excellent menu. Very good for vegetarians. However, the pub was seriously understaffed. Took a long time to order, took a ridiculously long time to get the bill. Half a table of 2 received their meal five minutes before the other half. Impossible to get any attention for anything extra. Still always great ambience and excellent food.

We have been going to the Orange several times over the last couple of years as it has gone through a few “transformations”. This was our worst experience. Never going back as this was second time we had a very disappointing experience.Service was poor. Suspect they were short staffed and a big party downstairs. Waiter had no idea of drinks/ food being offered. Never came by our table except when we could catch his attention. Pasta dish was almost inedible. Side dishes appeared long after main course had been served. Neighbouring table we chatted with had similar experience. We fled this place and went around the corner to Wild by Tart which was brilliant.

Really enjoyed the evening at the Orange until the bill came. 15% service charge - why? What makes you different/special from every other restaurant in London? Are you not paying your staff enough? Have you been taken over by the Americans? Don’t rip off your customers!

Incredible breakfast with soft jazz and low lighting.

Couldn’t fault both the service and food. Simply superb 👌

Really lovely experience. The service was great would recommend

Poor service, average food. Very disappointing experience

Best gastropub in London, best food, and super hospitable staff. Our weekend go to. Highly recommended.

Delicious wild bream for lunch with friends (they had very tasty pizza). Service was impeccable. Lovely pub.

Great place; great food; and, great ambience! Highly recommend!

Awful Sunday roast experience. First of all, the roasts here used to be excellent. I was served burnt roast potatoes that I can tell came frozen. Chicken tasted like it was marinated in sugar free lemon squash and boiled for the minimum amount of time. We were served curried carrots, doesn’t go with a roast. The new vision and execution should be reverted back. Table across from us said it’s the worst roast they’ve had. Apologies for having to be so blunt, but your customers will be gone if you continue to serve this. Paid £80/90 total for drinks and roast. I shouldn’t have had to pay for this experience.

It’s just too expensive for what it is. The food is ok. The location fab. The ambience ok. But the prices are way too much. Pizza prices and quality are ok. But the rest!

Great food and friendly staff. Reasonable prices.
