Best Roast I've had in a long time. I had a trio of meat roast, Beef, Ham and Belly Pork. Which comes with Roast potatoes (nice crust on outside and mash potato like inside) Large Yorkshire pudding, Gravy (with extra jug) and a bowl full of veg (carrots, broccoli,green beans, cauliflower and more) Great service, very helpful and very polite. Will be back soon. Thanks for a lovely meal.

What a lovely place to spend a friend's Monday lunchtime birthday meal.Great ambience, friendly staff and exceptional food.We had, fish pie, fish risotto and butternut squash risotto. Very generous serving and so well plated.Good selection of gins too.We thought it was quite busy for a Monday, so would recommend booking.Shout out to the chefs, obviously passionate about food and service. Thank you.

Excellent food, very good menu, lots of choice, the chef should consider a Michelin star. The staff are impeccable as always, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Incredible pub experience! Food that would not be out of place in a fine dinning room.Cosy pub without any sort of pretentiousness. Quirky glassware, serious menu including meat sourced from a famous Smithfield Butcher (Tom Hixon).Very pleased with the engagement of the staff and warm welcome on arrival.Epic specials board means you can come back time and time again. I think we'll have to move closer.

A McMullens tenancy being really well operated. Staff super helpful, friendly and efficient....thank you. This is really a restaurant not a pub. The menu was one of those that you read and then think it all looks great. Not only does it read well, the food was delicious and sensibly priced. Portion size is generous. Car parking is on site. We really liked it and will definitely return. Thanks for a nice lunch experience.

A superb lunch at The Orange Tree. Two of our party were struggling to make the 2:00pm booking so we shifted that to 2:30pm which was no problem for the restaurant. The menu is wonderful with something for everyone and the portions are generous. We were in unanimous agreement that we were too full for dessert but when presented with the menu, all 8 of us had a dessert. Standouts were the roast dinners, a great selection of veg to accompany the roasts, the half chicken, the burger and the treacle tart. Service was excellent too. Will return very soon for sure.

Visited The Orange Tree on a Sunday afternoon, was busy as we arrived but as the tables are spaced, never felt noisey.Received a warm welcome from all the three staff, they were professional and relaxed, there was no rush for our meal, nice atmosphere.There is a large menu and special board and all our meals were top quality, I had the Chicken Roast, the potatoes were best I have had in ages and with eight different vegetables, top quality roast dinner.The are no real ales on tap, only in bottles.There is a car park for about 20 cars with lighting for these winter months.There is a farmer market attached to the restaurant.Its not dear for the quality of food and service. Wines start from £22 a bottle.I will recommend a visit.

I have been planning to come here for years and had to cancel because of illness twice so really excited to finally get here. First off the pluses decor lovely staff nice and a good wine list. we ordered a sharing platter of seafood. There was a dish of prawns in garlic butter and a huge mound of fried seafood. You couldn’t taste which was which and had to guess from the shape what it was supposed to be . In the prawns there’s was a little bit of lobster previously frozen sitting in the garlic butter . Main course calves liver cooked nicely sauce overpowering and despite asking for no mash but chips got both. My scallops in cheese sauce overcooked still had muscle bits in and so much mashed potatoes the sauce was completely lost . The salad that accompanied it had a pre made salad dressing with sweetener in . It takes 1 min to shake together some oil, vinegar and mustard so why put that on ? I know the industry has problems but I don’t want to pay £110 for 2 courses that I could cook better at home . Really disappointed but there are better gastro pubs in the same village that I will go back to instead
