Nothing special food was mediocre service was mediocre they made no mistakes but spoke to me and my mates like we were forcing them to work there, pretty darn rude.Experience was so mediocre I had to write a google review for the first time in my life.

You can drive there and park, to eat and drink. I believe you need to book the table, otherwise you will be offered to sit in the area without the service, if it's not too busy. There, you'll need to self order food and drink at the bar. Similar to Wetherspoons restaurant. The food will be brought to your numbered table. We had a beef sirloin, but with a disappointment due to very thin slices of the beef. Food was kind of tasteless, unless you added plenty of salt, pepper, sauces like ketchup, mayo or a mustard. Good wine though. There was not much of the service, so can't give more stars for it.

Weekday lunch with friends. Good weather, so several people were in pub garden. We ate inside, not busy. Friendly & helpful staff.

I came on 29/10/31, the waitress and the receptionist are super impolite and racist. We ordered 3 sunday roast and the quality of meat is poor. Very disappointed.

Absolutely awful! I've never posted a negative review previously. Warning Sunday lunch is to be avoided. Most, if not all elements are pre cooked on mass and left by hot plate area, result being a cold plate of food which two of our party Sent back and changed for something safer (burger and chips) after realising how the plate was prepared.Unfortunately the medium rare steak was also well done.Drinks took an entering to arrive.Had to ask for dessert menu after along wait.There were a few other monents that were not up to a standard sadly.Without exaggeration there were 5 more plates of food returned whist our party was sat at the table all for being cold, I'm almost certain it was all roast dinners.Our waitresses was polite and tried to serve as best as possible but as more tables were seated her tasks became to great.Towards the end of our lunch we could only see the funny side of how bad the experience was...Disappointingly as there is only a few times a year we get to meet and enjoy a meal as a family, yesterday was soo bad i felt moved to write this balanced but truthful review.The main motivation being to (if your still reading this....) avoid and book elsewhere. You have now been warned.

The place is in serious need of an update, the service was slow. There was no atmosphere.But the food was very nice. Others were complaining that there food was cold.

Perhaps our experience was mid week malaise. The steaks had to be sent back, as it was bloody rare instead of medium to well done. The place was near empty, so there was no atmosphere, whatsoever. And the service was so gruff, it was incredible. There is a reason this once wondeful venue is empty during the
Arrived noisy people in restaurant moved to bar areas. T bone advertised but no t bone . Cocktails advertised. No margarita Berry. No sweet potato fries. Steak was good. Not good poor excuses from the manager. Shame good location.

I ordered a fillet steak and skinny fries which was very tasty, I must say. However, it could have been improved to everybody’s advantage. I would gladly have paid for an extra steak on my plate if that had been an option. I could have chosen various different add-ons, but an additional steak was not on the list. I would have been happy, and the restaurant would have been quids in. Maybe they could put my idea in the suggestion box.Fast forward two years……….evidently my idea didn’t go down well. Nothing changed.

We have been going to the orchard beefeater for a good few years now .had a couple of poor meals lately (slow service, over cooked steak) but tonight was the worst. Food was served tepid so we sent it back. Same food returned to us 20 minutes later, still tepid and the side order of onion rings which we could see sitting on the side stone cold. The chefs seemed to be keeping up with the orders but although there seemed to be plenty of staff it sat on the side for ages. We paid for our drinks and left. Won't be going back.

Was sat directly in front of the chefs cooking station… hHead chef was not wearing a hairnet or hat! His greasy heat hanging all over the food! He was swearing in front of my 3 year old child! The chef’s assistant was serving salad with her bare hands! Then putting her hands in her apron pocket!!!! If you wish to get salmonella poisoning come here!!! Absolute disgusting ?

Great lunch with friends with lots of choice on the menu for all dietary requirements! Eva was our waitress on the day and she was excellent - friendly and but also gave us plenty of time to chat!
