I've eaten here (with my family) twice in the last few days, I was impressed. Friendly staff and a well rounded menu with something for everyone.OK, I'm pretty certain that most of the food is prepared off site and whilst there is nothing wrong with that, it does mean they'll never get five stars from me.The food we ordered and was served was good quality, nicely presented, decent sized portions, and used good quality ingredients.Many places these days are milking their long-suffering customers and blaming it on "cost of living", I felt the The Apple Tree prices were at about the right level for the product.The place is nicely furnished and clean. Car park is a bit cramped and make sure you "check in" your registration on arrival or risk a charge. It's unfortunate the owners have felt the need to contract with a rip-off cowboy parking outfit to 'manage" the parking.Vegetarian options: I didn't try them but they sounded imaginative and interesting.Parking: Car park cramped and disorderly.

Unbelievable never again!!!!!My partner and I visited this establishment yesterday to celebrate our 5th year anniversary which was completely ruined!! The evening started off quite pleasantly with newly appointed staff member Maria from Canada as our waitress. I asked Maria to remove a pot of mayonnaise from the table which she subsequently spilt over my black coat. She then began to sponge off the mayonnaise leaving my coat sopping wet. Maria was very embarrassed and apologetic about whole incident. Maria said she would find out how i would be reimbursed for my coat. After which a foul mouthed manager called Susie came to tell us we were rude to her waitress which was a lie!!! to be honest we barely reacted to the event. Susie contined to berate my partner loudly then threw a business card at him then stormed off.At that point my appetite was ruined and could no longer eat as I was so upset.The food was removed and bill presented in which my partner asked for manager to discount the bill in regards to my coat. He first asked for an apology in which Susie refused and then started shouting and accusing us of rudeness to her staff and that we did not want to pay you just could not make this up we could not get a word in as Susie was full of her own importance. We have never been so humiliated ever!!!I would like the thank the lovely young lady who was a waitress who apologised to us just before we left Thank you so very much.

We had a quick, impromptu lunch. Arrived without booking and were lucky enough to be seated straightaway. I had a salt and pepper squid followed by fishcakes and both dishes were very tasty.

The food was great. Full of flavour and hot and just really excellent. Me and my daughter are both chefs and thought the food was really good.

Out in a large birthday group so was expecting a few problems. This was not to be the case. Both Darrel and Maria were both very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Having a few children with us they understood keeping them happy also was key to an enjoyable evening. Kids meals came out hot and the same time as starters.All meals were of a good size came to the table hot and looked appetising. We had a varied variety of meals all 13 were happy with what was served.Glasses were never empty either with water or alcohol willBe going back and willDefinitely recommend to friends and family

We visited today (09/03/2024) for an early Mother’s Day lunch. Visiting was myself, husband and 2 children (2 years old and 4 month old baby).- Parking is on site which is great and the time we visited appeared to be a good time as there was space right outside - which was convenient for us with the pram. You can register your car upon entry and don’t have to worry about a limit on how long you spend because it gave us until the next day.- Decor was beautiful.- Food was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. Drinks selection was great. I couldn’t drink but did really want a cider so it was great that they had an alcohol-free cider option. We ordered the salt and cracked black pepper as well as the chicken liver pâté for starter and both were delicious. We then ordered the maple glazed pork with scallops for mains and this again, absolutely delicious! For our daughter we ordered the sausage and mash and this went down well. We even asked if the sausage and mash could be brought out first because our daughter was getting cranky from getting hungry and they did, so this was great. For dessert, I had the trio of desserts which was amazing! My favourite was the berry pavlova. My husband had the trio of ice cream with triple chocolate cookie - he said this was very nice.- Service was brilliant. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Our daughter was getting rather cranky but they were really accommodating and understanding. At one point, mine and my husband’s food was ready but the gentleman noticed I was about to feed my son so he asked if we wanted him to keep the food warm until we’re ready so this was such a great touch - very thoughtful. The young lady serving us for the duration was lovely and friendly. The gentleman who helped us with paying the bill was also very friendly, he even said he apologises if anything in the venue was the reason for my daughter crying, but we reassured him it was just because she had got hungry at that point. This was comforting as parents to know that people can be so understanding.Feedback - the only thing I want to mention is that the temperature was very warm in the dining area. However, this did not take anything away from having an enjoyable meal together.Overall, we were very happy with everything and definitely visiting again in the future.Thank you to all staff there for such wonderful service, and compliments to the chef because the food was amazing!Parking: Free parking for those visiting Apple Tree - you register your car upon entryKid-friendliness: Kids menu is great
Great evening out for a family birthday. Maria was excellent!!
