The Orchard Inn in South Somerset

Stopped off for lunch after visiting family nearby. A warm welcome, polite, friendly and had a really lovely feel to it. We had the ham ploughman’s and a fish finger sandwich. The food came quickly and served with a smile. The food was delicious. The ploughman’s was large and a great variety. The fish finger sandwich was well cooked, great granary bread and presented perfectly.

Been coming here for many years it’s always welcoming and good food. Sadly on Sunday 29 October this wasn’t the case, 6 of us went for Sunday lunch. My cousin and his wife arrived first and said we were on our way as we had met flood water to be told our table was booked out again at 3 o’clock and they were very busy which wasn’t the way to welcome customers and not with a smile either. Our table was in the bar area but it was quite cold no heating on or fire lite service was not its usual high standard and certainly not with a smile. Our roast lunch was fine the desserts could have been served better and we waited a long time for plates to be cleared and ask if we wanted coffee .All in all not up to its usual standard.

We had a fantastic meal great service and very polite staff cleaning and friendly 10/10 customer service

Comida deliciosa, atención muy buena y rápidos. Muy recomendable para probar comida típica inglesa de la de verdad

Drinks were good & bar staff were lovely and very friendly. Fish and chips- fish was good and crispy but came with wedges instead of chips, which didn’t go well. We also went for Easter Sunday lunch and sadly this was a real let down- no lamb, greasy over cooked roast potatoes, overcooked veg, greasy over cooked Yorkshire pudding and meat smothered in gravy. We didn’t bother staying for pudding. I’d recommend this place for a drink and a quick bite if you were passing but not for any special occasion/meal.

Sadly this pub seems to have gone right down hill. It was a favourite spot with well cooked traditional British food. Yesterday it was rather different. Runny pate. fish and not chip but some refried roast potatoes, bullet hard eggs with the ham and undrinkable coffee. Oh dear .

Yet another Fantastic takeaway roast from The Orchards! Piping hot, plenty of it & such good value for money. Friendly, helpful staff. Great for sitting in to eat too, but was solo today & needed to grab & go. The Orchards staff only needed 20 mins for me to pre order. Can’t fault this service on a Sunday!

Excellent service, great menu & food, friendly & courteous staff, lovely cosy ambiance, roaring log fire, very reasonably priced & good parking. My husband & I visited The Orchard Inn last Sunday for a late lunch. We had rung ahead to book as they close at 15.00hrs on a Sunday. Surpassed our expectations !Beautiful Sunday roast with all trimmings & to die for puds. Visited again today after ordering a takeaway roast meal. Great service, piping hot food, will definitely use again & can Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

The food at the Orchard was excellent, We had a lovely meal and a nice amount of chips not just 8 chips like some other local restaurants.

We were visiting the area and ate here on a Friday night. Food was really good with an authentic homemade taste. I had a steak and ale pie made with proper pastry, served with excellent veg and superb chips. My wife had a warm chicken salad which was also delicious. Malteser ice cream for pudding was great all washed down with a couple of pints of excellent local bitter/ cider. Friendly staff. Seemed a little quiet for a Friday night. Pubs such as these deserve to succeed and need our support. Would definitely return.

Went with a friend for Sunday lunch, past this pub so many times, but it was my first time in. I had a small portion roast dinner, which was a very generous portion, and only £8.95. My friend had ham double egg and chips which came with a salad, which all looked amazing. Had a generous scoop of icecream for pudding. Will be going again soon. Highly recommend and was able to take our dogs if you seat in the bar end. Staff very friendly

Absolutely great food - very well cooked - well done chef. Will definitely use this place again. Staff excellent friendly and accommodating.

Stopped here for impromptu lunch and a drink with family and discovered a gem. Staff so warm and welcoming, setting was comfortable and traditional. For the first time in years I felt the need to congratulate the chef on quality, freshness and high standard of food presented. For once I didn’t have that horrible feeling of what a waste of money and I’m never going back there again!. Well done to all the staff and we will see you again, please can I have a bigger portion of those amazing home cooked chips next time!!! :-)

Amazing Macaroni Cheese 🤗 The best I have ever eaten Staff very friendly and also loved the sticky toffee pudding, so much sauce 😀

Booked all meals ahead of our visit of 10 people since we needed to be somewhere else by 7pm. Turned up at 530pm, food being served by 5:45pm. Food was fantastic and very well cooked and tasty - every loved what they had. Very friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely visit again

We went here because the menu looked interesting and it didn't disappoint. Venison bourguignon was fabulous - as was the cheeseboard.

Had a lovely lunch here on Friday and new new lunch menu has some exciting new dishes! Thoroughly enjoyable and scrummy, as usual! Thank you. See you on 23rd!

Lacks a little atmosphere but the standard of service and quality of the food make it well worth putting on your list of restaurant's to visit in Somerset

If you are in the area definitely pay this place a visit, warm welcome, great service and scrumptious home cooking.

We were a party of 5 with two children. Two had fish & chips, one bacon & Brie salad, one steak & ale pie and one gammon steak. I think it was the best steak & ale pie I have ever had. All of us...

We had a really lovely evening at The Orchard Inn. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Meals all very tasty and well presented and amazing desserts! Really generous portions too. We would definitely visit again if in the area.

We had a great family meal here. All freshly cooked and very tasty. The portions were generous and it was good value. The menu catered for all our varied needs, including good vegan food, and a good children's menu. The puddings were especially delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful, but rather run off their feet as it was a busy evening. I recommend booking to be sure of a table.

Our walking group arrived early, but our pre-ordered lunch for twenty came out quickly and efficiently. Everyone seemed very happy with their choices and my steak pie was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Many of us chose from the ‘smaller appetites’ menu, and it proved to be more than adequate. A great pint of Butcombe too!

We booked a table for 6 on a Friday evening and were looking forward to sharing a good local pub meal with our overseas family. We each chose something different but were sadly all disappointed with both the quality and presentation. The only plus were the great chips! We’ve tried the Pub three times now with the same result so won’t be hurrying back.

We had Dinner there when visiting our friends, Carol & John who are 'locals'. The friendly atmosphere was obvious, as soon as we walked in. I have a gluten allergy and choosing food is usually a problem, BUT NOT IN THE ORCHARD INN ! Not only was there a wide choice available, but both my main meal and the dessert were absolutely first class As was the service. ( We will be back }THANK YOU SO MUCH.

We were invited to The Orchard for Sunday Lunch with friends and had a really enjoyable meal.The lamb wuich I had was really tender and everything else was excellent.We will definitely return

This pub serves the most delicious food and welcomes dogs in the bar. What's not to like? Well the parking really. Even if you get there early and find a parking space, the chances are that you will then get blocked in. Such a pity as it often deters us from going but, that aside, this is a great place to eat. Try the fish and chips. Wonderful chips made from real potato!

This place is quite classy but very welcoming to everyone. The food quality is very high and beer and ciders are excellent. A pub well worth visiting this one.

One of the things that lets most pubs down is that the food is not freshly cooked: you could not say that of the Orchard at Galhampton. The food is very good - clean plates all round (!) and the service friendly and efficient. I think charging pro rata for each scoop of ice cream is a bit steep, after all, the overheads remain the same however much I eat so if one scoop is £2 then 2 scoops shouldn't be any more than £3 and three scoops £4. However, it is good ice cream even if very expensive.

Lovely classic local building, friendly atmosphere and staff, delicious home-made food (specially pies). We found it by accident but definitely will come back.

Although the staff here are extremely welcoming and nice. The food just lets it down. I’m not one to usually complain but I didn’t eat the food!

We went to start the run up for Christmas. The place very nicely decorated and cosy. Warmly greeted by staff and one of us chose the mulled wine which was very nice. Service very prompt and efficient. Good selection on the menu- had not chosen the Christmas menu which needed to be preodered. Everyone pleased with their selection,and we all had a different main course. Wine very quaffable. Good atmospere in the place.

Being our local pub we visit at least once a week. The food is amazing!! (Matt's chips are to die for ) Darren and staff are all very welcoming along with the log burners and comfy leather chesterfield sofas.

Great little pub in Galhampton, they have a good lunch menu with some great offers and an imaginative evening menu which both change regularly. Staff are great and the landlord Darren is an excellent host. Well worth a visit!

We first went to this pub in January when visiting family and were keen to go back when down again in September. On both occasions the food was fabulous. Large portions of good quality home cooked food. Nice atmosphere and relatively busy. Home made pies (steak and ale/chicken) were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Excellent local pub, friendly and attentive staff. Would certainly recommend the chicken curry which was excellent. The prices were fair and the portions were generous. I truly could not fault this pub, will be returning again in the near future.

We visited The Orchard Inn on the recommendation of a friend, so glad we did!The staff were really friendly and more than happy to let our rather excitable, one year old labradoodle in!As the weather was so good, we sat in the garden which had plenty of tables nicely spaced out.I had the Sunday roast and chose the beef, hubby had fish and chips. Both meals arrived in good time and were simply delicious! The roast comes with a great selection of vegetables as well as both roast and new potatoes. The bar area looked really comfy, so we might just have to return to try that out too!Thoroughly recommend this place!

We went on recommendation of other customers. We got there early lovely waitress but sadly or chips had been left over from previous night as they were very oily in Fact not like chips at all! The rest of the meal okay except the gammon was very thin. We had a bottle of French wine but we were not shown the cork and had a feeling it was a bottle which had been refilled from a box it was certainly not good wine and not worth the money. I am sorry to bring these points up but if the owners are to make a go of this I think they should be careful in what they do especially with people that eat out regularly and are employed by a wine company

We hadn't booked but there were plenty of tables and we arrived late at 2pm for a light traveller's lunch. The food was exceptional and value for money was not in doubt. The venue was perfect and there was plenty of parking. We were delighted with the service and bar.

Wow this place is a real gem. We found ourselves here for Sunday lunch by a happy mistake, and so glad we did. Staff were very welcoming, even though we hadn't booked. Food was top knotch. Lovely rural location. Wish we lived closer, would defo be frequent visitors.

We live very local to The Orchard Inn in Galhampton and have been here on a number of occasions. We have never booked, we just turn up and they can always fit us in, they tell us there might be a slight wait for the food but there never is. The food is always outstanding and the portion sizes are massive. A very friendly pub, we will be back very soon :)

Had a super evening for a colleagues Retirement meal. The staff were all very welcoming and went out of their way to help. The food was delicious.We were a large party of 47 and the service was fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

Lovey home cooked food excellent service by lovely friendly staff, well worth a visit money well spent.

Visited as good reviews and close to Haynes motor museum .Very pleasant ladies looked after us lunchtime ,one meal was the full size and one the small size, both really tasty and really good value. perfect chips better than gastro pubs ! Quite busy which just shows a once closed down pub can be a success with the right people and good meals (and choice of beers. )

We were a party of 6 for my dad's 90th birthday. It was also Easter Sunday which was why the restaurant was very busy. The meal was great no complaints on that but the service was a bit slow. I had to ask them to come and take our dessert order as they seemed to have forgotten us. Having said that I would go again as the food was worth the wait.

Seven of us met up at The Orchard for our lunch - we meet up every other month at a different venue. The bar was very cosy while we waited for all to arrive, and then we were presented with the menus. There were two menus, light lunch and the main menu, both of which were very appetising. We made our choices and were called in a little while later once the food was ready. Between us we had ordered six different meals and we were all pleased with the quality of the food, even the light lunch menu was very filling. If you do not like raw peppers I would recommend that you inform the waitress as they are very generous with the raw peppers in their salads. Some of us finished with coffee which was very tasty and not at all bitter.

We ate here after a long walk with our dog whilst on holiday nearby. Dogs are allowed in the bar area, which is quite big with a wood burner. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and the service of drinks and food was prompt, which was much appreciated . We both ordered the steak and ale pie (one light bite , one large). This was very tasty. We would definitely eat here again.

No many places open on a Sunday evening , we booked in here and had a super meal the gammon egg & chips we had was delicious and our friend had fish we all really enjoyed it , lovely staff big friendly smile . Thank you

My wife and I both had the pork curry. It was delicious. We were served quickly and the staff were pleasant. We will undoubtedly come back again sometime with our children.

Friendly atmosphere, great service, good food. Lovely staff. Good range of beers and ciders. Very busy so good idea to book. We have chosen to eat at the Orchard Inn a number of times and never been disappointed.

5 of us had dinner here last night and it was very good though the acoustics in the conservatory makes conversation a little difficult when it's busy.The trio of Sausages with mashed potato was great as were the Fish & chips, the flat iron steak and the Cajun Salmon.Our desserts included the Bread & Butter pudding, the Malteser Sundae and the Pannacotta. No complaints from any of us.

Good atmosphere as soon as you enter, on a cold night the fire was lit and gave a very comforting feel. Greeted as soon as we got to the bar and quickly escorted to our table which was nicely appointed and tastefully decorated. It was also plenty big enough for the four of us. We had placed our food orders a fortnight before hand, due to it being a very busy time of year, and the food soon appeared after the drinks had been organised. Attractively presented, plenty of it, and very tasty. There was a good selection on the menu and everyone was pleased with their choices. Service was prompt, empty plates cleared away quickly once every one had finished. Lovely coffee.

We recently had a family Christmas meal here (4 generations), each one of us said what a perfect meal it was. The atmosphere was very lively due to every table being taken. I have been here countless times over the years but have never seen it this busy!! They offer a standard size plate or small plate menu, both of which are incredibly good value for money. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. A perfect meal in a wonderful setting.

When I am in the UK I enjoy dining here with my parents. The service is always excellent and the option for different size portions is wonderful A great place always please everyone.

We had a family gathering here, it's been reinvented a couple of years ago and is a perfect venue with wonderful food and friendly hosts, situated in a pretty village. So good to have different options with portions, there are lighter meals for those of us who don't need a huge plateful! The dining area was just right for our group, not at all noisy-unlike so many eateries these days.

Always acknowledged on arrival,friendly staff. Food very good,a lot better than most, pie excellent. All veg fresh & good quality. Have been 7 times, very consistent.

Returned again for a meal. The food was amazing and the staff wonderful. This is definitely the top of our restaurant list. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came here for dinner with my dad, sister and fiancé on Saturday night. We were staying in the area and just looked into where was close so we didn't really know what to expect. When we arrived we were surprised that it was quite quiet on a Saturday night. But it worked in our favour as we were 20mins late and they were still able to sit us and didn't seem annoyed at all. We all had starters, mains and desserts because the menu just sounded so good we couldn't resist. I highly recommend the chef's special lamb dish. It was melt in the mouth delicious. In fact all the food we had was amazing and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area. I hope it picks up there and doesn't struggle to keep going. If you are in the area I highly recommend that you go! If you really like your food, you will not be disappointed!!!!

Very good quality homemade food, prompt service, friendly atmosphere, would visit again when in the area. Thank you for accommodating my son's different needs with in our party of 4.

Saw this pub on our way to Dorset looked nice so stopped. Excellent service, good choice beers, lovely food and real old pub feel. Would recommend to all

We have heard several good reports of the Orchard Inn recently so thought we should go along to try it for ourselves. Firstly, I like the idea of two size portions being offered on their lunch time menu. There is little worse than returning a plate having left a large part of the meal, especially when the food itself has been good, but just to much to eat. I chose their fish of the day (cod) and then was offered it either fried in their own beer batter or grilled (never been offered the choice before) I love fish and it was about the best fish and chips I have ever been offered, even compered with some of the best fish restaurants on the coast. The size portion was just about right and I still had room to enjoy one of their home made sweets. At £10.95 for the main and sweet, I consider this to be excellent value and we will certainly be going back again. My wife was equally impressed with her meal. The staff were friendly and very efficient, the meal even being served up by one of the owners. You will not beat this pub for service, food and value.

This pub is down the road from us and we've seen it change hands a fair few times over the years, but (fingers crossed!) we seem to have struck gold this time. The owners are very warm and friendly and the staff they have employed are very pleasant and professional. The pub is very pretty inside and has a nice seating area if you just want to pop in for a drink and a catch up, and also has a wider restaurant with a conservatory for extra space, which makes for a pleasant dining experience.The food is really good, the fish and chips is absolutely faultless and the desserts are to die for. They really are exceptionally good. My only criticism would be that there isn't enough choice for vegetarians, but I've noticed that they are not alone when it comes to Somerset pubs in lacking in substanial veggie options. Still, I would imagine that perhaps if you phoned up in advance, they would be happy to try and accommodate you, as they are very hard-working and pleasant people. Well worth a try, you won't regret it.

We had a yummy Sunday lunch, Easter Sunday, very busy,but fast service, piping hot, gorgeous vegetables, very tender, tasty beef. Lovely puds, add a few more glutin free ones, just for me please. We will definitely be going again.

Lovely food, particularly the wonderful chips! We both ate from the set menu, but I was able to opt for the smaller portion section and that enabled me to sample the dessert as well - very good. Highlight was probably the home made pie, my partner is something of a pie taster (!) and rated it extremely highly. Set menus offer outstanding value for money. Service prompt and very kind and helpful. We would like to go back and try Sunday lunch but know we would need to book as this place is unsurprisingly popular. Only down side is that the restaurant area has no outlook (metal hoardings around the pub car park screen off adjacent bare site awaiting development!) - think if I were in charge I would resort to some net curtains with nice designs on like they have in restaurants in France for at least the lower 2/3 of the windows to the side (view to the rear is of a plain but well kept pub garden so that is okay!).

This is my first visit to The Orchard Inn at Galhampton and i was actually given a choice of a smaller main course and smaller dessert which suited me very well...so together with a lovely glass of wine i felt i had eaten a delicious meal at a very reasonable price....the staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really quite relaxing so thumbs up for a return visit..

We visited the pub twice during our short stay in Somerset, one was for Sunday lunch and another for midweek lunch. On both occasions we had a warm, friendly welcome and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Visited the Orchard on early evening on a Saturday. The people were very friendly and was initially pleased with our choice of venue. Menu was very small and looked rather expensive but not to matter as thought we were in for a treat. My wife and I had the mushrooms for starters and they were delicious. For mains we both had sirloin steaks cooked medium. They were tough and tasteless and with a fair share of gristle. The battered onions were toasted like crisps and the chips were not fresh. The desert, the cheesecake was fabulous probably the best I have tasted.We waited 20 minutes for the bill. I wasn't asked if we would like another drink. In fact I had to go back to the bar to get served.Very mediocre experience and not great value at all. Much better restaurants in the area with better food and certainly better service.

Beautiful public house that has a great restaurant. The food was great. I had steak and ale pie my husband had Haddock and chips. Highly recommend it. Beautiful food, staff was so friendly

We had a family celebration lunch here for 35 and had a fabulous time. The conservatory was set up for us beautifully and we had the doors open straight out into the enclosed garden, which was great for the children. The age range was 3 - 91 and everyone was well looked after. We had a menu tailor-made to our requirements which was very reasonably priced - the food was excellent and the portions were generous. They catered for one child with food allergies and a vegan without any fuss, adapting dishes which the rest of us were having so that no-one felt left out. All the staff were friendly and helpful, it made our special day a really happy one - thanks Darren, Matt and all the team

I've eaten here half a dozen times since the new management have taken over, and have never had a disappointing meal. On paper the food appears and, is priced as Pub food. I've paid a lot more in restaurants and not seen or tasted better. It was the thoughtful service this mothers day that compelled me to write a review. My father in law wears a hearing aid. The landlord noticed this he asked if we would like a quiet table. I was alone at the bar ordering a drink and enquired why he had offered a this table. He told me that he knew hearing aid wearers generally preferred quieter tables.

Lunch time visit, had the fish and chips, the chips are double cooked, makes for a crispy tastier chip, much better than the catering variety chips, the fish was very good, nice thin batter and succulent fish, came with a small salad and peas with tartar sauce.

Had booked after checking reviews on tripadviser, but was very disappointed, food average, service for drinks very slow.On arrival bar area quite busy with drinkers loud and foul language, luckily I was having a business meeting and not an evening with my wife.

As per usual excellent meal and excellent service thank you Darren Matt and staff 😊 obviously a very busy Sunday but amazing time had 😄

Came for a family meal and it was just perfect. Very friendly and accommodating, great food, catered for some fussiness, garden for the kids to play in and good value.

Looking to eat lunch out I took to trip adviser and found this little pub and so pleased I did. The welcome was warm and friendly, the guiness was great and the food was delicious. My main of chicken on a bed of bubble and squeak topped with goats cheese with pink peppercorn sauce was excellent and was Matt's Lamb curry I am told. Although we didn't need it as the portions were good, we were tempted and ordered desserts. They really were absolutely luscious. A most enjoyable lunch in a great little pub. Top marks!

Love the fact that they have a good small plate menu, which gives a more than adequate portion size. Very friendly

We had lunch here on Friday 3rd March 2017. The meal was fresh cooked, and the staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. Don't be put off by the car park which has temporary metal barriers around it to divide it off from an adjacent building site.Only disappointment was the price of a small bottle of mineral water which was charged at £2.50. An examination of the bottle indicated that the product supported a charity, which probably explains the inflated price.

Matt's coooking never fails to disappoint. Great menu choices and excellent quality of food. We were a party of five with three for whom it was their first visit to The Orchard and they all agreed they would be returning soon. Darren greeted us with his usual friendly, warm welcome. Such a cosy and welcoming pub with food that is excellent value for money.

Despite being a regular at this pub and always enjoying the beer, atmosphere and food this was my first Sunday lunch there. Three of us had starters, main course (roast beef) and our daughter had a pudding too.£9.95 for a very well prepared roast beef lunch is amazing value and the vegetables, yorkshire pudding, potatoes and gravy were all delicious - decent fresh veg perfectly cooked.As usual the staff were fantastic, friendly and service was quick and faultless.I have had sunday lunches for twice the price that didnt come close to this one.

Visited 9 Feb 2017 on a themed evening. The theme was "steak night". Staff very attentive. Steaks cooked to order exactly as requested. All meat is sourced locally from a top class butcher. The Orchard is a free house with guest ales. I tried the pulled duck breast starter and my wife had a prawn avocado salad with sauce. We then had a rib eye steak each, cooked as requested. There were choices of other cuts plus for those with large appetites a mixed grill of beef,pork and lamb steaks all served with chunky chips,peas and tomato. All at reasonable prices. Other themed nights included a sausage and mash night, a curry evening plus special quiz nights for teams . They also serve lunches with a choice of smaller portions for those with smaller appetites. I could thoroughly recommend this pub for great meals and service.

Another enjoyable and extremely tasty meal at the Orchard with family prior to Xmas, well done Darren, Matt & the team

Myself and 3 friends visited the orchard for the Christmas set menu meal. The pub was decorated beautifully with a cosy warm log burner next to the tree. All courses were plentiful and tasty, not mass produced like some others do this time of year. We were given a xmas cracker and a choice of coffee/tea with a yummy mince pie at the end. Really good value. Totally recommend and will be back. Thank you

Made to feel welcome immediately. Very friendly people. We ordered drinks at the bar and asked about lunch. We hadn't booked. Extremely accommodating and set us a table in the bar area. Wood burning stove in the bar. Lovely!When the very polite waitress took our order for food, I asked if I could bring my German Shepherd in. More than happy for Koo to sit in the bar with us during lunch. Several other diners came to greet my dog, including the owner bearing roast beef gifts. The previous owner, now retired and a regular local customer, also engaged us in conversation and enjoyed petting the dog too.This is not about the dog, although she was made unconditionally welcome :)This is a lovely traditional, friendly and wholesome English pub. Ran in a very orderly and professional manner by genuine people. The food was lovely too :D, although I nearly forgot to mention it in the warmth of remembered enjoyment.Soppy I know but we had a really good lunch amongst real nice people. Thank you and look forward to the next visit.This pub deserves to do well.

Our lunch club goes to a different pub every month. One can get quite critical comparing them. However, over several years and many miles,I have yet to enjoy the food as much as the Orchard Inn produced. The Chef has that happy knack of developing dishes which are basically 'good pub grub' but which have a subtle difference which lifts them into another realm. Rarely if ever have I enjoyed a chicken breast more tender, moister but with full flavour served with a smooth, creamy mushroom & Dijon sauce. He also has a knack with a coffee & walnut cheesecake the like of which I doubt could be bettered. How nice to enjoy such luxury in a very traditional pub ambience with such unobtrusive yet efficient service. Well done, you two!

Ive eaten at this pub a few times now and the food is lovely . Staff make u feel very welcome will certainly be attending more often .

On a longish journey today and sought a pleasant lunch. I was grateful to see a 'small appetite ' menu for myself, but my husband enjoyed a (large portion)delicious steak pie followed by a beautiful sundae! Welcoming and obliging staff and we felt very relaxed and refreshed.We were both impressed by the standard of the food, so very worth a 3 minute detour off the A303.

We called in on the off chance of a table, accomadated us with no problems. The food we then had was amazing

My wife and I popped in for an evening meal.We had never been in the pub before despite living within a short drive away.On entering we were very impressed with decor, yet they have still managed to maintain character and even a dart board discreetly hidden possible for the locals.The pub was fairly empty when we went in a family eating in the conservatory, so we decided to sit in the front bar area.The food choices were good, and a few twists on some classic dishes.Food arrived very quickly and was truly wonderful. You could tell there was a lot of effort and pride gone into the preparation of the meals.The staff I presume the owners were very welcoming without being too in your face.They appear to have really tried to keep a local pub yet have upped their game to attract diners.Highly recommended we will return.

Came here Monday for lunch. Had often passed The Orchard but never stopped in. We both ordered the steak and ale pie and it did not disappoint. When our food first came out my partner said it was a small portion and he wished he'd upgraded to the £9.95 main meal but upon eating it decided it was deceptively filling and the perfect size for lunch!! Really delicious food, lovely clean surroundings and extremely friendly staff.... We will definitely be back for an evening meal very soon :)
