The Orange in City of London, Westminster

Very busy on Saturday night with large crowd on pavement so fortunate we had booked a table. We have eaten here before during the daytime. We ordered a bottle of white and food came in good order. Noise levels very high on both sides so hard to hear. At one stage a dark waiter who we had not met, came and without a word took away our bottle from the ice cooler by the table and walked off with it to an area behind the bar. It still had 2-3 glasses in it. I asked our waitress to recover it which she did. I have a nagging thought this was deliberate to increase wine sales as many might not have noticed or realised the bottle was not finished. Hard to justify a 15% service charge for such actions.

Esperó veinte minutos para pedir bebidas a pesar de que 3 miembros del personal estaban charlando sin hacer nada Excepto tratar de evitar el contacto visual con cualquiera de los clientes La puerta de la terraza de la azotea se dejó abierta, lo que hizo que el restaurante de arriba se congelara Conseguí mi primer trago después de estar sentado en la mesa durante una hora Luego llegaron entrantes o platos pequeños como lo llaman Y chico son pequeños Dos costillas frías secas como el infierno sin sabor excepto quemado con un baño asqueroso Luego el plato de cerdo Esperaba un buen crujido crujiente en el exterior todo lo que tengo fue un suave trozo de goma insípido Y dos bocados de cerdo graso Greens somos asquerosos Chips fríos Las patatas parecían impactantes No pude hacerme ni siquiera probar uno, a pesar de que me moría de hambre Los budines estaban bien Un miembro del personal creo que su nombre era Dan era genial y el chico nuevo que acababa de empezar también era muy bueno El resto no parecía que quisiera estar allí.

Top place! Nice food option. Very classy, very demure. Good selection of cocktails. Nice staff. I love when venues have moisturiser in the toilets… that is just next level. Prices totally acceptable

We are regular customers of this restaurant since it’s close to our home, but yesterday it felt like we were being punished. There were tables available, yet we were placed in a small room where no one else was dining and where there was no service. I had to get up three times to call the waiter. This is not acceptable.

Lovely ambiance. Great food and wonderful service. Would definitely go back and bring a friend.

Tuvimos un gran almuerzo en el pub de la planta baja. Deliciosas pizzas. Reservado para el almuerzo y el lugar se llenó rápidamente. Servicio amable.

El 6 de febrero mis dos amigos y yo cenamos, servidos por Anna mesa 216 Ella explicó pacientemente algo del menú Buen servicio 5 / 5

Amazing food and amazing service. Our go to place to eat now when travelling in and out of Victoria

Great atmosphere and food. Good value for money, and although I missed a burguer choice in the menu, the lack of it made me try something different and tasty. Everything fantastic

Fantastic food. Good service and buzz. The draft from the front door that kept being left open in winter made things too chilly.

Small restaurant (not really a pub) with very good pizza (among other things). A bit different to your average brunch place. A little pricey but if you can manage that then a good different option for lunch.

Loud dining room Staff didn’t seem to own our table Not many vegetarian options for a chef who loves Mediterranean food!

Waiter "it's 25 of each" when asked why is the cocktail so short. 14 pounds for the smallest negroni. Won't come here again.

Pizza had approximately 3 pieces of pineapple on and next to no ham so very disappointing. Even 2 scallops for a “small plate” was pushing things a bit far! The tables were extremely close to each other (I was practically touching elbows with the diner to my left) It was very dimly Lit. Our server looked less than impressed to be working that evening, he was disinterested. Service was incredibly slow as well and we had to find someone to make payment as we needed to be leaving! On the plus side the wine was delicious.

I was actually quite impressed with the food at the pub - got a salad and Napoli style pizza + burratta panzerotta with salsa, all of which was very tasty.

The manager Karolina is very rude to her staff I feel very bad for them absolutely ruined my experience in the last year the immense change of staff has absolutely ruined this place much better places down the corner

Went there with my friend for our annual Christmas Sunday roast. I couldn't believe what we were served on our plates. So disappointing; the roast was poor.

Our waiter was absolutely brilliant - I didn’t get his name but made the experience 5 stars. The only thing that was a bit odd was the lack veg on the roast…

Delicious roast, lovely ambiance and great service! Interiors are also fantastic.

Great ambience, good food and service - recommend!

Sadly not a good experience. The service was incredibly rushed - we were just enjoying our starters when they tried to bring out our mains. The food itself was partially inedible - not fresh or tasty in any way.

Excellent service. Delicious Sunday Roast. Fun and engaged staff.

A lovely pub restaurant with great atmosphere, but unfortunately the service was not good at all. We weren't even showed to our table, rather just rudely pointed in the direction of a table. And it was a special occasion we had booked for, so we felt somewhat disappointed. Wine order was completely forgtotten and we had to follow up twice. Service was generally very slow - it was 45minutes before we even had opportunity to order anything, we just felt ignored. And then being charged the 15% service charge left a sour taste... Food was also just ok for the price point, the pizzas on the next table looked lovely - wished we'd ordered those instead. Will go back for a drink, but may give the food a miss next time!

Fantastic night, our servers were great, food was great. There was an assistant manager in a dark jacket who was incredibly rude to me and I watched him be pretty rude to a few others - I’m guessing he was stressed on a New Year’s Eve, it wasn’t ideal! Rest of the night was fantastic though.

It was my first experience at The Orange, and unfortunately, it did not live up to its price. The service was sluggish and it was challenging to get the attention of the staff, which seemed understaffed given the high volume of clients. We ordered beef roasts, and it was disappointing as the meal was cold and appeared to have been prepared hours in advance, served without any attempt to reheat it. It was not a good meal. Additionally, the children's menu was lacklustre. They could easily offer simple options like a cheeseburger and fries. Furthermore, it should be made clearer that the regular menu is not available on Sundays. The waitress seemed exhausted and lacked patience while we tried to find something suitable for our child to eat. I aimed to provide a great experience for my guest, but it turned out to be quite the opposite, ultimately disappointing.

I have been to this restaurant several times over the years. Tonight realizing it has had its day, it now feels like it’s resting on its former reputation! Not worth the money, food below par, service incredibly average… skip this restaurant! Could be amazing, it’s not. Shame!

The restaurant was good, but the manager had a very bad attitude. He was clearly racist because I am Asian. All I did was call the staff to pay the bill, which was not rude at all. Yet, he insisted that I apologize to the staff, even though I had done nothing wrong. It was a blatant act of racism🤬😡

Such friendly staff both at the bar and at the restaurant upstairs. Superb service. Great food. Beautiful atmosphere. True 5 stars gastro pub 🌟 🤩

This is a pub but it charges West End prices. The food was OK but nothing particularly special. My 2 friends had the roast chicken - it was fine but £20 without vegetables. About £32 with. I had the pork and that was £25 without vegetables and ££37 with. That's quite expensive for a pub. We were rushed off our table after an hour and half even though it was booked for 2 hours. We moved downstairs and had another drink (£24 for 2 x medium size glasses of wine). This is an expensive pub - arguably one of the most expensive in London. So it was rather disappointing to say the least, that the service didn't match the cost. AND UNFORGIVABLY, there was no lavatory seat on the lavatory, I spoke to the manager about it and his response was pretty pathetic - he has tried to fix it but no luck, he was expecting men to go in there but hadn't put a sign on, and he didn't know when it was going to be fixed. He could, with some initiative and pride in wanting his pub's facilities to match the price, gone to B&Q or any hardware shop this morning and bought a new one. I said that for the calibre of pub (and price of their drinks and food), one could reasonably expect a loo seat in the lavatories. He was not apologetic. I think this sums up the pub. Expensive, arrogant, patronising, mediocre and I wouldn't recommend.

Lovely spot with really kind staff. Fixed any problems with Grace and a smile!

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had during in London. We were seated at a table upstairs for dinner, I ordered a gin martini. The waitress served me a shot of warm gin in a dirty glass. I thought she might have misunderstood my order so I reiterated it to her and asked to remake the drink. She took the drink back and returned with the exact same drink, a warm shot of gin. My seat faced the kitchen/bar area, and I could see the fake bartender and other servers mocking me for sending the drink back. It was embarrassing. If the bartender didn’t know how to make a martini, they should said so and I would have ordered a beer. I’m pretty low maintenance and would Never do something like this, but charging someone 16.5 pounds for a shot of warm gin is egregious, I felt the need to warn you all - DO NOT ORDER COCKTAILS FROM THE RESTAURANT

Really poor service unfortunately, waited nearly 45 mins from our booked time to get seated and then left to flag down waiters to get water and orders taken. Overbooked it seemed but poor communication when inside and staff visibly stressed out.

Lovely spot with good food. Pizza and hot chips were amazing. The fire room is a lovely place to chill .

Best oyster ever ! Thank you It was amazing The food is incredible 😍

Sold out of half the food that night. Guy at the door was rude and hopeless

We ate at the pub and had great gnocchi. Sitting upstairs was cozy and a nice atmosphere for dinner. We did not sample the cocktails but we did have a nice red wine off the list.

I was disappointed by everything: poor service, poor food, no Christmas decorations or Christmas menu. The service was slow and we did not feel welcome. The wine we ordered was not available and it took ages to get a bottle of wine up from the cellar. This was a Christmas meal for friends but the pub had no decorations other than left over from Halloween and a short string of Christmas guirlande over the bar. Some food portions were too small ( hake) whilst others (chicken) were too big. ( half a chicken!) Sides of greens were nothing but few leaves of different cabbage, cold and sloppy. Overall very disappointing and over priced for what the experience.

Cute pub but I got the scallops small plate which was 11.5£ and I got one (1) singular scallop in the middle of a small round plate. One scallop. 11.5£. 😐

Great spot and very smart. It has a varied menu. Only downside was that they didn’t have our first or second choices on the main menu so had to choose a lesser dish. They said they would add a side dish of roast potatoes as compensation though when the bill arrived this item was added. So a disappointment on that front.

Very good. We have been coming here every Xmas for about 14 years, as lunch after Xmas shopping. The place has been recently renovated and looks really nice. The staff are very friendly, and we had a great table upstairs. The food is , as always, excellent, roast beef done perfectly with great wines, served with very competent and friendly staff. Can't fault this place at all and we will be back again.

very noisy and chaotic atmosphere and table was delayed for us to sit down. good food but not the most relaxing experience this time.

La papelera no se vació. Lleno de toallas sanitarias sucias. El sistema de ventilación tan fuerte no podía dormir. Tenía grandes esperanzas y podría haber sido genial. Solo cansado y cabreado

We hired the Feasting Room for our office Christmas gathering - fantastic service and delicious food. Roast Potatoes were to die for!!! Lovely wine list. We’ll be back next year!

in previous 2 years have enjoyed an afternoon drink here and decided to try Dinner this year. Very disappointing. Service was very average, Food did not meet expectations e.g. all dishes extremely salty, Chicken, pizza to the point of almost inedible. £12 for a single small scallop! Begrudgingly paid the 15% service charge. Shame as is a great location and a pub. Have dined several times in the 'Coachmakers Arms' in Marleyborne which is in the same Group. But 'The Orange' is a poor imitation.

I have been to The Orange on multiple occasions and this time the service was extremely poor with food coming at different times and meals not arriving.

Me and my partner ordered a pizza and two beef roasts. The pizza was fantastic, confirming as an Italian myself, but the roast was just not what I expected meaning: 4 small pieces of beef which were chewy, two potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding which was too sweet for my likings all for the price of 28£ per roast which I just do not think is value for money.

Food was very good. Service was also good but 15% tip is a first even for London.

Amazing food and wine, the waitress (Megan) was fabulous, very knowledgeable about the wines and just so lovely Pizza was incredible, couldn’t fault any of it!!! We will be back x Rosie and Vicky

A nice little spot for dinner or drinks.

Easy to get to, great atmosphere, lovely food and attentive friendly staff

We came here to celebrate Thanksgiving as we just moved from the US nearby. Highly disappointed given a few things that happened. Highly disappointed as I wanted this to be our go to family spot!

Nice ambience but very short-staffed.

Team was very helpful and welcoming! delicious roast and generous portion!! Will definitely come back.

Very bad experience. Injured myself due to extremely poor lighting on the stairwell which meant I tripped, fell and twisted my ankle, resulting in a fracture to my fibula and a chronic sprain to the main ankle ligament. Nearly 7 months on, I have had to spend over £1000 on medical care and physio to treat this, I have been unable to take part in half marathons and my place in the London 2025 Marathon remains uncertain. I raised this with the team at The Orange and was told the senior management had received my email and would be in contact, but they never followed up nor showed any concern for what had happened. Most importantly, they did not address how they might rectify this and ensure it didn’t happen to other patrons.

We went to dinner. Very busy place with two floors. The food was very good, the only problem was the long wait between the starters and the main dishes. I recommend the scallops, grilled shrimp, meat in general and the pizzas.

Pizza was amazing and food is reasonably priced. Service was quite weak though

Food subpar and wine list poor, for the prices. Worst, the slow and gloomy service. Our waiter, drinking at the bar, clearly bothered couldn’t be least welcoming and left without notice. The next waiter confused about our order. Embarrassing, our guests won’t go back nor agree with our prior suggestion to hold there a large party. A shame as it’s been nicely refurbished and used to be a good happy casual restaurant.

Ambiance at the orange, much like many other cubitt house pubs was great. However the food is most definitely decent at best for the price you are paying. Their pizzas which are known to be the speciality, were subpar. Soggy bread bruschetta paired w potentially reheated focaccia that was chewy but perhaps unintentionally. Tiramisu was okay however the coffee was not well distributed, leaving a few bits that not be eaten. If you fancy a 3.50 Diet Coke, this may be the spot.

Great experience and good food, we'll be back soon :)

I went for a roast on Sunday and I had the vegetarian roast with cauliflower. I found it quite disappointing that

I typically always do Sunday roast at a cubitt pub, mostly the builders arms or The Orange. Today was an unfortunate lunch. I ordered pickles as a starter and 30mins later we were still waiting for said pickles. Apparently they were given to another table. The waiter should have picked up on the empty table. The pickles were comped which is good of the restaurant. I will go back

New refurbishment works look amazing! Great place, great food!

On the whole still a great pub. Lively and fun… however some of the food dishes were not as good as expected or pricing.. small plate lamb chops and chard salad were just ok.

La comida sigue siendo buena, pero el servicio ha disminuido terriblemente. El menú no era claro, en términos de qué artículos venían con algunos de los platos, y el personal era claramente sin entrenamiento, ya que tenían que seguir yendo a comprobar y encontrar respuestas. Una vez que la comida se pidió tardó casi una hora en llegar, y no estaba ocupado! La comida en sí era buena, pero tienen que ordenar los niveles de servicio para volver a los excelentes estándares que utilizan para entregar.

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

We used to come here for many years and returned expecting the same great food what a huge disappointment.From walking through the door we were told by an extremely rude man your tables upstairs.I asked if there was anything downstairs he said no and walked away doing a hand gesture like he was on a tv show.We hadn’t a clue where we were going and when got upstairs had to ask where we were to be seated so unwelcoming and unprofessional.Then we get to the food we both ordered pizzas my husband ordered the fennel one and I ordered tomato & proscuito.Mine was like I’d poured tomato puree over it and was inedible my husbands was so dry and disgusting we left both.The worst food and welcome will never return.We used to live it here what a huge shame.Eveeyone around us were complaining we chose to just leave and never return.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
