The Orangery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We had prebooked for the Sunday lunch roast which was roast beef. No starter but it took them 50 minutes to serve at a time that did not seem to be too busy and when there seemed to be plenty of staff about. The beef was absolutely disgusting - dry, grossly overcooked and inedible. Just like shoe leather. Astonishing when we noticed other servings coming out pink. We drew attention to the state of these meals and they offered a replacement but frankly by then we were too tired of the wait and grappling with this awful meal that we declined. It is quite extraordinary that a professional chef (if that is what she/he is) would allow food in this state to be served from their kitchen. The staff reduced the bill but a shocking experience when had been looking forward to a decent Sunday roast. Never again!

We visited on a sunny Saturday and managed to get a table outside. It's a lovely location, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food itself was lovely.

This is a beautiful café set in a stunning formal garden of the Mount Edgecombe Park and gardens. Inside the Georgian orangery it is spacious, comfortable and is the perfect place to have a coffee in a grand historical building with character and atmosphere. Nothing like a Starbucks that charge so much for little service and cleanliness. Outside on a sunny day are a row of tables with umbrellas to enjoy the garden more. The toilets are new and very clean with individual rooms. The only drawback is that it can be booked for weddings so ring ahead to make sure that it's open to the public.

When i visit my hometown Plymouth I make a bee line to Mount Edgecumbe and “The Orangery” (via a boat trip!)They quite simply make the best scones ive ever had! Large, slight crunch on the outside light and fluffy on the inside pale yellow in colour give the impression of absolute luxury! 😋

Lovely afternoon tea with sandwiches cake tart and scones with jam and cream and a pot of tea food was really lovely and Max who served us was great lovely afternoon thank you

We had a fantastic cream tea in an amazing venue. Fabulous view over stunning gardens, great service and we were so pleased that they take dogs. We were very happy with our visit and rather full after the delicious sandwiches and cake. Please visit, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great cream tea in the Orangery. The sun was shining and the gardens and fountain directly outside were looking magnificent. A big thanks to Zoe and the staff who were very friendly and helpful as my two friends had some mobility issues. Having cream tea in delightful surroundings was a pleasure I can highly recommend with top marks for the scones, the best I've had. Afterwards I strolled along the path with views across the estuary to Plymouth whilst my friends recovered from the feast!

We had our wedding reception at The Orangery and it was incredible, The location, the venue, the staff absolutely everything was all we could have wished for and more. Every detail, our every request and the overall willingness to help and accommodate us was what made this an outstanding experience.

Since having an Afternoon Tea here 6 years ago, we now visit on my birthday for a Cream Tea. The scones are the best we have tasted. That includes scones I've had at a famous London store recently. The cream tea at the Orangery includes a generous amount of jam and cream. Always a lovely setting. Even when busy the manager always has time for everyone

18 rowers moored up on the beach by Cremyl Ferry for brunch, to celebrate the 21sr anniversary of Mayflower Offshore Rowing Club. The service, food and coffee were superb and nothing was too much trouble. We'd all highly recommend The Orangery for group celebrations as well as hungry tired people on the water.

Myself and my husband went to the orangery for afternoon tea. I'm vegan and despite there being no vegan afternoon tea on the menu the kitchen were able to prepare a bespoke meal for me, the food was delicious and the staff made me feel like it was no problem at all. The lady I spoke with when booking and who served us (Zoe, I think) was so welcoming and helpful.

One of our favourite places to eat, the food is always top quality, delicious and beautifully presented. Today we had the burger&fries and it was gorgeous, fresh juicy burger and the most tasty chips with a tomato chutney which was a refreshing change to ketchup! It was quite busy today but tables were waited on, and food served quickly.

I was with a group of 15 people for Sunday lunch. The staff were disinterested .Top price for drinks. It was full of muddy wet dogs Toilet floor was muddy too. Won't be going back !

Incredible location, beautiful building, and gardens. Just like a lot of venues with this advantage, hospitality suffers. Just because it's pretty and grand, that doesn't mean you can give terrible customer service and charge the earth for it. Stood at the bar for 5 minutes watching the barman faff about. I respect the fact you're busy, but what happened to "Hello, sorry I'll be right with you, how's your day going, hot out isn't it"? Ignored for 5 minutes, I get Mumble McMonotone, who takes my order. After waiting 10 minutes for drinks to be made, I'm sent to my table. I ordered a Cornish sharing cheeseboard, which arrived on a small chopping board. Along with a ciabatta, which by the look of it was sat on during the baking process. "Didn't have bri, so put in a different cheese. Dunno what they all are.." and the waiter walked inside....wonderful. For £15 I had infront of me a small selection of unknown cheeses, some grapes, some pickled onion and a butter knife. Just some friendly advice; there's this thing called a cheese knife which was invented because a butter knife (for butter) isn't sharp enough to slice small wedges of cheese. Which makes sharing it quite difficult. 2 drinks, 3 small pieces of unknown cheeses, some grapes, flatbread and terrible service = £25. But there's a nice garden, so treat your customers however you like 👍🏻

Visited today for Sunday roast. It was excellent. It brought memories flooding back of my Mother's cooking when I was growing up. What more can I say. Well done to all the staff, whose service was exemplary. Thanks again to you all Pauline and Robert

Went for afternoon tea on a busy August (summer holidays) day. Was busy when we arrived so began queuing until I asked the question about having already made a booking for afternoon tea earlier and if we had to queue. Promptly serviced, a very very lovely member of staff assisted me immediately. However since I stated that we wanted to sit outside to eat it - I had to manually select what sandwiches we wanted, the scones and drinks. If we sat inside would this have been chosen for us? I’m not sure but either way wasn’t an issue, actually enjoyed the choice and made it very personalised. So thank you. Afternoon tea is £19 per person which is pretty steep. For what you get - 6 finger sandwiches, 3 of each kind. A small brownie topped with a raspberry, a small white cake pop ball, a small leek and cheese quiche and two average (over baked crispy) scones. Compared to China fleet club or other afternoon teas it was definitely on the small side yet pretty expensive. Service was great which made up for the very very average afternoon tea. Gardens are pretty to look at. However there are plenty of wasps when you are eating outside so you cannot enjoy your food in peace for longer than a few minutes. Not the fault of the staff but thoroughly ruined our meal which wasn’t even too great to begin with. Scones were overcooked as mentioned already which meant they were crunchy when eaten. Overall average but wouldn’t go back! If you do go, don’t sit outside to eat as one of the waitresses said, the wasps live or nest just over the hedges so unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about it!

Absolutely wonderful place. The staff were friendly and approachable. Was very busy (as expected during august). We were told the food would be awhile due to it being so busy, however the food arrived in no time. It was delicious and beautifully served. I expected the bill to be larger than it was due to the perfect location and gorgeous surroundings but was pleasantly surprised. All of the family were pleased - especially with the pudding! I was apprehensive after reading some reviews but really is worth both the trip there and the wait time (if there is any). Catherine, Zoe and Max were the only names I caught that day but them and all the staff deserve a well done. Absolutely fabulous afternoon thank you.

Poor service and response to customers. Waited 50 mins for lunch . We were not informed of any delay in kitchen service. Order was delivered wrongly and one order missing . Staff response by one member was very poor . Rude and arrogant . Blamed the fact it is summer on their inabilities. No apologies . Offered the missed order free as this had been omitted by staff when ordered . Will not be revisiting..

Shocking inefficiency, someone needs to train the staff, waited over 45mins with que hardly moving. Happened on previous visit - never again!

Visiting family again & we always pay a visit to this restaurant set in pretty gardens. Had the burger & chips really yummy. Only reason gave 4stars as when we arrived all tables empty & stood waiting to be seated whilst all the staff was busy & seemed more intrested in serving the customers that were at the counter. I the end we had stood waiting for 5-10mins & just went & seated ourselves in the end.

Stood at the waited to be seated sign for around 5 mins. (Nobody came or even aknowledged us, although plenty of staff talking amongst themselves. In the end went and sat at a table ourselves given the place was practically empty. Went to order some drinks and were completely ignored by staff. Gave up and left in the end.

Visited with my family , been a few times now while I am on holiday . The fish & chips lovely , the biggest fish . Bright , fresh & clean restaurant.

This is an amazing cafe. The chef Natalie is exceptional… her fish & chips were the best we have tasted in the area. The food is exceptional The carrot cake was fabulous too The Team , The staff are so kind and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Definitely worth the walk

It took an hour and a half to provide our food. We were hungry and agitated. We got an apology and the offer of a free hot drink but this didn't make up for a terrible lunch. They were not even that busy. So disappointing.

Lovely location in a very attractive formal garden. We only had cream team and the scones were AMAZING and HUGE. Cake was great too

Excellent cream tea, fresh scones. Beautiful location. Very good service. Have not had a meal here before but cream tea excellent. Thank you.

Great cafe and staff. Love having lunch in this lovely setting at mount edgecumbe. You can sit inside or outside and it’s beautiful. Love the menu and the food. Staff are great too and look after you very well. Can’t wait to visit again!

The place itself is absolutely lovely and we had been looking forward to visiting here for a long time. The roast pork was served without apple sauce and when we asked for some the server told us that roast pork does not have apple sauce....

A very nice venue, run by a friendly and efficient crew. The menu offered very good value and the food was very good indeed. Throughly recommend.

We had a Sunday Roast Pork which the lovely staff deliverd to our cottage which was next door it was delicious and plentyful. They also delivered another meal as it was too wet to sit outside. We are returning for a wedding and looking forward to eating both inside the orangery and the garden.

Had a wonderful breakfast here and it was served by the most wonderful staff. Beautiful surroundings and lovely food, I will be back.

Great service, food and venue. Visited a few days after outdoor food was allowed after Covid lockdown 3 and they were getting all together really well. Definitely worth a visit and I’ll certainly be back!!!

Love this cafe it’s so well decorated with amazing cakes and atmosphere! The Staff are always so friendly and welcoming!

Nice venue. I went there for the first time today with my son. Nice food. However I’m NOT impressed that on our arrival we were told that we would have to eat outside because I was not wearing a mask. Staff member insisted that we couldn’t eat inside. I am exempt and told her this. We were then allowed to go to an inside table. How about not even questioning your guests who are not wearing a face covering instead of turning it into an issue? If masks are so important why weren’t you all wearing them at the height of the pandemic in March? How ridiculous too that you want them worn to walk to the table then they can be removed. Absolute nonsense.

Lovely food in a great venue, very nice walk in the country park afterwards. Very nice staff, recommended

Visited the orangery for the first time with friends. The food was very good and the atmosphere was lovely. Would highly recommend As it’s well worth a visit.

Popped in for a coffee, ended up with brunch. I had toasted muffin with spinach and mushrooms topped with poached egg with Hollandaise ( served apart ). The dish looked very appetising and I wasn’t disappointed. Nicely toasted muffin, lovely lightly cooked spinach, nicely cooked mushrooms BUT the poach eggs were perfection, absolute perfection. What a treat.The staff were very good indeed, one thing I liked in particular was being offered a glass of water with my brunch without having to ask.Happy days.

When for a afternoon tea was very disappointed in what we had for fifteen pounds fifty.There was four quarters of roast beef & horseradish sandwiches,one small chocolate cake,one scone with cream & jam,and small piece of quiche and spot of tea.the food tasted ok but the amount we had was disappointing for the price.

Went there with our dog after having just been turned away from The Canteen at Maker Heights up the road. Couldn't have been more welcoming (including for the dog!) Lovely food and lovely staff - definitely going back!

The Orangery staff was very welcoming and hospitable, and we had the best Lemon Cake we have ever had! The carrot cake was also lovely and moist. The Orangery is located at the bottom of the hill from the main house - on the left when you enter the grounds, and the view of the Italian Garden was spectacular, sitting under our umbrella. Best tea ever!

We came here for lunch as a big group. Doing breakfast until 3pm is inspired. The vegan stack was a bit greasy and dull, but the chips were great. A feta, beetroot and walnut salad looked fantastic. The setting is beautiful and the service quick.

We stopped in here for lunch after visiting the house and gardens. It’s a beautiful setting overlooking the Italian garden. Food is fresh, tasty and generous portions. I had the burger which was very well cooked and came with a nice tomato chutney, the chips were excellent. My wife had the leek, goats cheese and walnut tart which she said was delicious. Her tart came with a nice side salad. Some salads are just a few wilted leaves of greens, but this cucumber, cherry tomatoes, spinach , lettuce and water cress, in a dressing with balsamic vinegar. Service was fast and friendly.

Interesting building, friendly efficient service and a very acceptable Sunday lunch with free sausages for the dog.

Mount Edgecombe is a beautiful place to visit, but the afternoon tea at the Orangery was nothing special. The venue is lovely but we were disappointed that the afternoon tea was not presented in the traditional way as advertised (finger sandwiches, with crusts removed). We were given bog standard sandwiches cut in triangles and they were very average. I asked for more hot water as the tea was too strong, and was given a jug with no handle which was very difficult to pick up because it was scalding hot. We were charged extra for lattes coffee, although the waitress did not say there was an additional cost. The staff were the same as you would find in any self service restaurant - doing their job but not going the extra mile. The savoury tart was a nice surprise as it was delicious. Although the scones were small compared to most venues that we have visited, they were very good. I am a fan of most chocolate, but I couldn't eat the white chocolate truffle as it was not pleasant. I would like to add that the warm chocolate brownie was the best I have ever tasted.

What a shame. A lovely location and that is it. The food was over priced. And I asked for a salad and it was the same as my husbands side salad he got for free. He had a cheese and ham sandwich which was basic and came with three Crisps. So he ordered chips. THE SOGGIEST/ GREASIEST/ DARKEST/ GROSSEST chips we have ever eaten. Oh and the waiter. Jesus he if you don’t want the job mate quit. Moody isn’t even the word. Just rude.

We enjoyed an early morning coffee here. What a lovely way to start the day! It really is a stunning building. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient.We chose to sit outside and enjoy the view of the gardens so it’s always nice to find that your coffee is piping hot.Only coffees this time but having discovered this spot, I shall certainly return and next time sample the cakes too.

Such a delightful place to eat, friendly staff who are attentive and polite. Food is also top class, so tasty and plenty of it.

On Thursday 18th July we took a party of 38 for a cream tea at The Orangery. The prior booking went very smoothly and when we arrived at 3.30pm all was set out ready for the scones, jam and cream to be served plus pots of tea, milk and sugar. All went off perfectly. The scones, either fruit or plain, were HUGE, the largest we have ever seen! Nobody could eat more than one. Everything was perfect, the service excellent. There were also delicious looking cakes and gateaux for anyone with a robust appetite.

We just wanted drinks and were lucky to find a free table outside .....although it wasn’t cleared! A young man was delivering some food to another table so we caught him on the way back to clear our table (think he would have walked right by!) We ordered drinks inside, and we could have had cake, but meals had been stopped, as they were so busy! The drinks were ok....pot of tea and a latte for under £5. I would have liked syrup in my latte, but was told the bottles I could see were out of date so they couldn’t be used! So why were they still there? Anyway the staff were pleasant enough and we did enjoy our drinks, even though the latte was small....served in a tea cup!

We called in late afternoon and had a nice coffee and cake. We saw some huge scones and wish we had chosen them as well. The staff are cheerful and friendly. Overlooks some lovely gardens. We will be back.

Went here for a coffee I’m afraid the service was terrible and it would seem the staff were falling over each other. Tables needed clearing so had to do it ourselves

We visited mount edgecumbe country park and enjoyed a superb lunch. Lovely food and atmosphere. Great staff who were very accommodating. Will certainly be visiting again.

I went here for a baby shower and had a cream tea. The food was great especially the brownie . Service was good from all staff but especially from one particular lady who I think was the Manager. I have visited Mount Edgecombe many times but never had food at The Orangery but I will be definitely returning.

We have been to the cafe on several occasions as we enjoy the setting and the food but the staff are possibly the rudest and most arrogant group of people I’ve been served by. We are always treated like an inconvenience to them when ordering food and have been told every time that there is a long wait as if in an attempt to put us off. As this is such a regular occurrence would it not make sense to employ more kitchen staff?? I think we’ve finally had enough and will go to the pub instead next time.

This place provides the best food, I have visited with my mum and sister we had afternoon tea which we all loved. It’s such a gorgeous setting, great staff and amazing food. I have also been with my partner for Sunday lunch and again the food was fab, the staff are so friendly and really make the visit to the orangery such a pleasurable one. One big recommendation is the deserts best I have ever tasted thank you we will be back to visit again next month as I have already been 4 times this month.

What a great day out! Enjoying a lovely ferry ride across to the venue, followed by a leisurely stroll around the beautiful grounds, the best finale is a break in the Orangery Cafe Restaurant. Ice Cream was delicious and coffee was spot on. Dogs welcome. Well done!

Fabulous building with great menu and attentive staff. Good value for money. We will be back during our next visit to Cornwall.

Had linch hear as part of our first visit to Mount Edgcumbe. Really nice menu including brunch items available until mid afternoon. Both of us had the Orangery English breakfast which was great. Service was really friendly. Altogether thoroughly recommended.

we had a light lunch - sitting outside in February in the sun. a lovely view looking into the Italian Garden. when our sandwiches arrived, we were really surprised at how generous the fillings were & what high quality the whole platter was. Strongly recommended.

Siamo stati solo per un veloce lunch, il posto è molto bello e curato, il cibo e i dolci erano buonissimi, forse un pò caro ,ma lo consiglio

If your website says you are only closed on Christmas day and Boxing day then surely you should be open on New Years day. Very disappointing when we made a special trip today, having checked to see if you would be open. Poor show especially as it is tourist season. Won't bother again.

A very lovely place but cold. We all kept our coats on throughout the meal. The meal was a smaller portion to what we are used to. Quite expensive too. I would not go back in the winter months. Maybe the warmer months would be better?

After many years of passing by, we finally were able to try this place.

Mum and I unexpectedly paid a visit this afternoon and decided to have a Cornish cream tea... wow... the scones are absolutely amazing! I’d happily say the best I’ve ever tasted, compliments to the chef!! Plenty of jam and cream and happy to top up the tea pot with more water... we will be back again soon. Thankyou

We quite often get the Cremyll ferry across from Plymouth, have a walk with the dog and stop in, the coffee and cake is always really good!

Had a snack and coffee, service was very good and the surroundings beautiful. A must visit place. can get over by car or on ferry.

The setting and building are amazing, - huge windows and a lovely view of the gardens.The food and service are excellent as well. I have enjoyed breakfasts, brunches and a Sunday roast there, all have been really good!

Lovely tea on a stand cakes finger sandwiches clotted cream scones tea and coffee and prosecca wine all in the price, And the service was great definitely worth a visit.

Lovely cafe in grounds of Mount Edgecumbe. Very interesting menu and lovely coffee for a treat as rather expensive but worth it. Situated in the houses old orangery with outdoor seating overlooking a lawn and garden with fountain.

Okay so I haven’t visited the orangery but I don’t have to. Can hear their wedding/function music loud as can be from my house (I live in cremyll). Go on it’s a wedding have fun but if I can hear it from here I’m suprised they have ears to hear with at all and they haven’t been blown off. Wouldn’t bug me so much but I’ve had the music blaring at 2300hrs and later on nights I’ve had very important exams on the next day. This is also a very quiet area where a lot of elderly people live to relax. People may read this and think I’m the grinch of weddings and having fun and by all means think that but it isn’t the case we live here because it’s a quiet beautiful excluded area where we can sit on our front step at night watch the bass and listen to owls and crickets. That’s tranquillity.

Lovely surroundings wonderful building let down by staff stood in que for ages while four staff members milled around only one actually serving. Was going to have a cream tea but overheard the customer in front told it would be a hour and a half wait hoe long does it take to put jam cream and scones on a plate. Plus to eat in is very pricey in future take my own food to Mount Edgecome.

Very nice place and would have received an excellent if it was more organised.

Great setting and a lovely place. Been there 3 times and missed out 3 times, because kitchen closes at four - and no messing.

We did just stop for a coffee, but what a fab location. Lovely spot to either sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere.

Thank you to Michelle and the team A fabulous afternoon tea Good service and great value Will definately be back
