The Orange in City of London, Westminster

Couldn't recommend this place more for a sunday roast! The staff (in particular Balazs who served us) was professional, super kind and gave us great recommendations. The roast itself was delicious and had great vegetarian options! Loved our time there and will definitely return.

Great location, friendly staff, and wonderful dogs

The pub is a classic and the food, whilst punching above its weight, remains within squarely within the now well established lineage of gastro pub menus. What stands out is the quaint, carefully designed and plushly appointed bedrooms with their tiny yet country manor-looking en-suite bathrooms. One feels one could easily be in Oxfordshire for a fleeting moment, yet a stone throw away from Sloane Square.

Had dinner up stairs was really nice good atmosphere friendly staff very knowledgeable and had a nice chilled out non pretentious atmosphere would recommend xxx

Came for a sunday roast and it was amazing, staff were friendly and very informative, great setting and ambiance, will be definitely coming back here again

We did not use the hotel. The pub was very nice.

Visited The Orange after its “revamp” which has been done nicely but the new bar doesn’t seem to be very practical as not enough space to prop yourself up there or eat small plates there, as too close to the tables along the opposite wall. Service was slow at the start, took a while to have our order taken, however, they were very attentive with pouring wine once it arrived. Food was good although my friend and I ordered the chicken with grapes and we weren’t informed upon ordering that that was literally the dish, no veg or anything else on the plate, so whilst the chicken was delicious, we feel some veg side dishes should have been advised. We had a very nice bottle of Picpoul. We would go back but there is room for improvement.

Half of the menu was not available to begin with and after placing the order and waiting for some time we were told that what we had chosen was not available either. The service was very slow, drinks and food took long to arrive. The Yorkshire Pudding was burned to ash. The staff kept apologising and offering free drinks/discounts after every mess-up, which is nice of them, but getting bad food and a discount was not my Sunday plan. What a bizarre experience

Although quality food looked good , the Food was not hot . Venue also lacked atmosphere and the service was mediocre.

Booked a Saturday lunch with my son. I haven’t visited for some time. The work done to the interior and the updated branding is wonderful. The noise level seems to be better managed. The menu, wines & cocktails are certainly worth another visit.

Delicious food, imaginative and extensive menu. Pleasant atmosphere, extremely professional and knowledgeable staff.

Very charming but slow service. Other than that a wonderful meal as always.

Basement private room amazing for private function

Delicious food but limited kids options and dessert menu.

Really disappointed in our visit - clearly has gone down hill over the years. We had a lovely waiter but clear that he was massively stretched. Didn’t get to eat for over an hour after arriving and drinks too about 30minutes to arrive. Food was ok - a bit greasy and def over priced Room was dark and very noisy.

The Orange has long been a cherished venue for our family, where we've shared countless meals and cherished memories over the years. Eager to experience the restaurant post-renovation, we selected it for our Mother's Day celebration. Regrettably, the experience fell far short of our expectations, prompting us to share our disappointment with others. Since the renovation, the once-charming atmosphere has been entirely drained from the restaurant. There's now a noticeable lack of ambiance, and the warmth it once exuded has vanished. Our initial reception was cold and unwelcoming, setting the tone for subpar service throughout our visit. We placed our drink and food orders simultaneously, yet after a 20-minute wait, both arrived together, disrupting the flow of our family meal. Furthermore, the food was served cold, with Yorkshire puddings resembling rocks, though the gravy salvaged some semblance of enjoyment. While we anticipated higher prices for the quality of food expected at such an establishment, the £7.20 charge for a poorly poured Guinness and £8 for Tiramisu felt exorbitant. In conclusion, for those who have fond memories of The Orange in its previous incarnation, I advise you to let go of the past. As for anyone considering a visit, I recommend exploring other dining options in London. There are countless establishments that offer far superior experiences.

Great venue, fantastic food and good value for money.

New menu stinks which is a huge bummer because the last one was great

Great gastropub in nice part of town. Good food. Good drink. Not cheap. But not too bad.

We had a great time, highlight was definitely how lovely the whole team was. Will 100% be back soon!

Came here with friends for Sunday lunch and was unimpressed. The staff were very rude and dismissive (no one acknowledged us for 5 mins when we arrived). The manager downstairs told us he needed the table back (which we understood) but then got annoyed we didn't leave on time (which we couldn't as he hadn't brought us our bill yet). Such a shame as the pub is nice and food is pretty good but the staff ruined our experience.

Not all menu items were available but otherwise excellent. Service could have been a touch more attentive but a great meal.

They didn’t have vegetarian gravy which was weird - the gravy for all roasts is just “meat gravy”

Fantastic new menu, great selection of wines and excellent service - one of our favourite CH pubs

Loved it! Delicious food, lovely staff and fun atmosphere. 🙌🙌🙌

New design of Orange looks absolutely amazing Great food and service.

I went for breakfast with my daughter and her three week old baby on a wet Wednesday. We loved the vibe of the newly refurbished pub. The staff were universally lovely and welcoming, and the food was delicious - Italian inspired. We had flatbreads, one with stracciatella,blood orange and honey, the other with fennel sausage and roasted tomatoes; we also had toast with olive oil and marmalade and a lemon bread with mascapone topping (I’ll be back for that alone). I would highly recommend - go!

Great new renovation - the bar and dining area look fantastic and had a great atmosphere. Food was all delicious, especially tasty small plates and we didn’t try the pizzas but they looked delicious!

Came here for drinks and dinner with a friend. Nice. V safe, pricey, solid option. i.e quite boring!

Lovely atmosphere, amazing pizza and fantastic service! We had a lovely lunch here and after my husband lost his AirPods here Aaron saved the day and found them for us. Lovely pub all round!

Exactly as expected and beyond. Great ambiance for a Sunday Roast!!

I love this place but it’s always freezing!

Such a good pub/restaurant!! Staff excellent, food good and wine good if a little expensive.

Very nice pub and very friendly staff. Highly recommended 👌

The restaurant is under construction and no one told us at the start, nor apologized for it. We were having an important conversation that kept being interrupted by drilling and sawing.

Service food drinks fantastic- however the works that was being carried out during good service not acceptable at all

It was so cold and so loud - I won’t go again. No children’s menu

Beautiful setting and interior. Average food. Beautiful neighbourhood

Will not be returning very disappointing with the food the starters good mains very poor my partner had the lamb and myself the beef for £31 which is a lot of money for a Sunday roast

It's an aesthetic pub, but that's it

Good quick delicious meal option in traditional pub setting.

I watched my drink sit on the counter by 3 waiters for about 8 minutes until I had to eventually go and get it myself. The manager just winked at me as I did so. Was also advised that the kitchen closed at 9pm, despite stating 10pm online, and despite there being availability to book a table in the dining area up until 9:45pm that evening.

Booked for the festive menu and confirmed over the phone with the staff that even though it was boxing day the festive menu was still valid. Both times I was told yes. However, when we arrived at the restaurant, we were rudely told twice that this wasn't the case. No apologies offered, who offered no compensation, no alternative or anything was basically told it was my fault for assuming ( which wasn't the case). The al a carte menu was pretty average and had very few options. If we had known that there was no festive menu, we probably wouldn't have booked. Despite the initial issues, the staff became more friendly, the cocktails they served were really good and the food ( once we got over the lack of choice) was actually really lovely. Wouldn't go out of my way to reccommend but if you're in the area it's a pleasant option.

Attended company function. Food and service was very good.

We had the most horrible experience here on Christmas evening. Not only did it take 2 1/2 hours for the entrees to come, the fish was undercooked and  WAY overpriced! We waited 45 minutes for the menus to come alone!! Thank you The Orange had been one of our favorite pubs, but we will not be coming back.

Booked a table for Christmas Day for a party of four, two of the party are vegetarian which was explained to the serving waiter. Main Food came out at different times and the waiter was blaming the kitchen, seasonal veg had bacon on which we explained was not mentioned on the menu , waiter took this back and we waited for more seasonal veg but came out with more potatoes and veg again with bacon. We could see there were issues with other diners, whole day was a bit shambolic to be honest and we had to give this feedback to the manager whom with all due respect to him agreed with us and apologised and said we would only be charged for the wines we had ordered. Such a shame as we were looking forward to spending our Christmas Day there and thought from reviews it would be memorable in a positive way.

Went for Christmas lunch on 25th December with my family. Waited 2 hours - food didn’t arrive. Hungarian drunk waiter kept winking at my wife and daughter. Complained - and in the end we just left as food never materialised . Not much more to say - won’t be returning funnily enough.

Service was fun, food was good but menu different than expected (when we reserved it indicated a holiday menu). Seated adjacent ( but up against ) a radiator was unbearably hot so left early :(.

Excellent roast beef! Lovely staff and very accommodating when we needed to move table from 4 to 5 people, even on a busy Sunday.

The service and ambience was excellent and we had a lovely, relaxed and leisurely festive lunch.

This is our 6th or 7th visit as a group of friends, and we have always loved visiting you. However the manager on service was unbelievably rude, hostile and aggressive to 4 women that we will never be visiting again nor recommending to anyone. The four of us left shaken and pretty upset after what was initially a very lovely meal. I have honestly never experienced such bizarre customer service in my life, and can only assume your manager was having a bad day.

Mangiato a pranzo al pub. Ostriche eccezionali e anche la pizza era buona. Ambiente molto confortevole e caldo con un servizio davvero impeccabile.

It was good, but was a little disappointed this time. A few items were not on the menu and didn’t quite match up with the first time we went. The waiters were friendly though and we had a nice evening.

Incredible roast, even better and friendlier service, such a lovely pub

The service was particularly bad - it took 35minutes to get our drinks (a bottle of wine). They kept trying to up sell us a very expensive wine and said all the others where out of stock and so we then chose something else (cheaper) and miraculously the original bottle we had ordered was now available! The service was slow and the food average especially for the price. I would not go back. Disappointing

We ate in the bar - the dining room was far too noisy and hot and the tables far too close together for comfort

We like the Orange because of the cosy atmosphere there is in the 1st floor rooms and the small room with the fireplace on the ground floor, and the quality of their food. Unfortunately there was a party arranged in these rooms and we were placed in the ground floor main room where it is noisy and the decoration not so nice. We would have appreciated to be informed of this and we would have booked an other day...but we will take our chance an other time!

Good food. Excellent service. Delightful atmosphere. A most enjoyable evening.

Bar is great. Good atmosphere. Restaurant good but not exceptional Great location

Place is always a buzz come Sundays for the roast. Sadly service was extremely quick to get us in and out, roast to our table 5 minutes after ordering and potatoes were very dehydrated, tasting like flour. The rest was delicious.

Despite booking a week in advance, and a confirmation call, it looked like our booking had been missed. We were sat in sperate room that was insufficiently heated, had a wobbly table with a sticky surface. Food arrived alarmingly quickly, even before the wine. Beef was great however everything else was disappointing – rock hard potatoes, dry Yorkshire Pudding, tasteless gravy. We were returning customers as the previous experience had been fantastic, this was the complete opposite.

Good roast. We didn’t have a great table but not complaints

We were there for a wedding. There wasn't enough food for everyone. When I told the member of staff she didn't care. When I mentioned to the staff that meat was not cooked enough he just laughed and removed it, no offer to cook it some more. It was cold location. Overpriced beverages in the bar. Very average

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Just a shame our table was next to the door it was freezing!

Trevlig personal och god lite finare pubmat.

Went for Sunday roast and it was good - the pizzette and the squid were delicious as well (though the beets salad was average). Good service and beautiful setting. Definitely a pub worth going to!

nice place, food average, staff good, too expensive

Super friendly staff, totally delicious food, great atmosphere, perfect.

Good food, good ambience and friendly service - very enjoyable!

Usually very busy but I managed to go in when it was a bit less so. It has a lovely set of tables and chairs.

We went there for dinner with our kids. Last time we had been was pre-Covid for lunch and we had nice souvenirs. Setting is very nice. Room upstairs. Very welcoming round table. Staff is friendly although we were told the manager would come after a complaint and he never came. Food is either very good (the pizzas and the crumble) or very bad (kid burger, beef tagliata). The kid burger is a joke: over cooked meat with just bread. No salad, no tomatoe, no sauce. The adult’s one is slightly better but not great. The beef tagliata was hard meat with some sort of salad dressing on top. We complaint. To no avail. The rice pudding brulee is a great idea but too much sugar and spices ruin it slightly. Results: we were with our kids so the evening could not be that bad. But otherwise a rather bad experience.

Very good service - food came promptly and was delicious, especially the mocha coffee

The food was excellent, nice atmosphere and good service.

Service deserves a special shout-out. The mature dis (I wish I had his name) accommodated requests, and made special efforts on behalf of a group of four of us. Thank you! (The noise level is a bit high for those of us of a certain vintage, but certainly not unbearable.)

The food is good and the atmosphere is relaxing but the prices are a bit over the top: A bottle of still water £5?! And there is absolutely no justification for a 15% of service charge! I'm afraid, as much as it is a nice place and the quality is good, never again!

We had Sunday Roast which was a pleasant experience. Angus burger & beef, lamb, side dishes with salads and potatoes, the gravy was not thick according to our taste. The service was fine & the prices as expected.

We booked Orange as we enjoy Thomas Cubitt. There is no resemblance between the two. On all measures, Orange falls significantly short. It is misleading to associate the two.

Lovely venue and menu. It was loud on a Friday night, to be expected.

Deceptively large pub which makes it unusual and worth visiting

Delicious Sunday lunch and fantastic service. Thanks for making our day

It can almost be the perfect Sunday / pub session - but small things can ruin the entire experience. 1. our table was upstairs / which is ok; but the room smelled like a dirty cloth was used to wipe it. 2. The cocktails took ages to arrive. 3. The service was brilliant, right up until the last waitress who was super rude in trying to get us to move before a certain time. Rather than reminding us they need the table, she tried to clear the table when lots of food was still evidently there. 4. The waiters / waitresses were jumping up the small mezzanine staircase which made awful racket. I still love this place, but that room is the worst. Downstairs, or the main first floor area only. And small tweaks on service conduct is required especially for the prices you pay here.

I had the roast chicken and it wasn’t very good. Not much taste and bland

We had our post wedding Dinner for 11 people at The Orange in the St Barnabas Room and they were amazing! Throughout the whole process of booking in May to the day we got married they were absolutely faultless!! Food and drinks were delicious. We can't thank you enough, everyone had the best time and we couldn't recommend The Orange enough. Thank you x

Great Sunday roast, friendly and fun staff, great venue.

Went after work with a colleague. We tried 2 different wines by the glass but none of us was particularly happy with our choice. The small plates we ordered were bland and rather pricey for what it was. Staff were friendly but didn't seem to care much about their (few) guests. Will not go again.

The food/service was not as good as we're used to -- there was a long delay on the pizzas for three of my colleagues (their food came long after the mains for the rest of the party) and one of the mains (the gnocchi) was quite dry/could have used more sauce and also luke-warm. I don't know if you had too many other guests (I think there was a large group upstairs also), but we were disappointed for this particular visit....

Once we were upstairs in the restaurant everything was great but the bar service downstairs was awful, terribly slow and the young woman behind the bar was rude and obnoxious.

LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!!! The room was so incredibly cozy and designed and decorated perfectly. This is the quintessential place that you think of when you think of staying in London in a room above a pub, but it is that plus being extremely elevated! The check in process was so easy and Barnaby was so helpful and amazing through it all! When we come back to London next year, we definitely plan on staying here and spending more time in the area because there’s so much to do and see because it is perfectly located in London between Chelsea, Kensington, and Belgravia. Also, the food at the hotel was really good! The pizza is definitely a must try and the ambience in the whole area that you can sit and eat is incredible. The pub really lights up at night and so many people love to just show up and grab a beer and it is such a great crowd because it is a lot of young professionals that live in the area. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Food is always great at Lunch. It’s never too busy either so good for a business chat.

Great food, excellent location. Aubergine main was above average.

The room was fine but each night at closing around midnight the pub staff would drag tables around too clean. Extremely noisy and kept waking us up. The location is great with a short walk to the underground

This pub was very nice aesthetically and we had a delicious starter of focaccia and burrata which I highly recommend. However - drinks and general service were quite slow, pizza arrives at different times as the other meals, and for £31 the roast was very mediocre. It was lukewarm, thin gravy, dry and under-seasoned. Not the worst I've ever had but certainly not the best. Plus 15% service charge so without alcohol it still came to £50 a head! Overall there are certainly better roasts in the area. However, for a drink or light bites it was lovely.

Sunday roast is amazing and staff are super lovely!

Outstanding service - lovely staff. Starters were very good, but our Roasts weren’t hot and the gravy was thin and tasteless. £31 for a roast is expensive for what it is.

Portion sizes are getting smaller! Very noisy inside.

Flipping lovely in here. Service from Sasha was just so kind and thoughtful. Good food and great atmosphere too. Highly recommend.

One of the bartenders was extremely rude, will not be recommending this place to anyone, we indirectly pay his wages at the end of the day.

We’ve eaten Sunday roast at The Orange five or six times now. Whenever we’re in the city actually. As usual the food yesterday was delicious and our wait staff was friendly and efficient. Hard to say why it took 45 minutes after we had finished our starter to be served the main. Things with table assignment and ordering seemed chaotic and out of sorts yesterday.

We had a terrific stay at The Orange! The staff were absolutely wonderful and the rooms were cozy and inviting. We had a lovely dinner first night of our stay that set a positive tone for the rest of our trip.

Good food and relaxing atmosphere
