"I booked the venue for my stepfather's wake, which included a buffet. When the funeral party arrived, the staff were still setting up the food. The buffet offered a mix of hot and cold dishes, but the quality left much to be desired. The roast potatoes were greasy, the chips frozen, and the sausages deep fried with sparse fillings in the rolls. The presentation was underwhelming and unappetizing. Some guests raised concerns at the bar, but there was no effort to address them. Despite multiple emails to the Orchard, most were ignored, with one response stating that the buffet was standard for the price paid. Each person was charged Β£8.45 for this disappointing spread. Requests for gluten-free options were made, but the lack of labeling left our Coeliac guests uncertain about what they were eating. The lack of care and respect shown by the Orchard in handling our complaints was disappointing. No apology or compensation was offered for the subpar experience, causing embarrassment on a somber occasion. I have no intention of returning or recommending this venue in the future."

My friend and I stopped by for a spontaneous drink and were welcomed warmly by the landlord! We had a great time as my friend requested ginger beer and the landlord miraculously produced one. I have dined at this restaurant before and the food was excellent.

Food was lovely but service was a bit slow to start with when they were busier. Got given menus then, after sometime, someone came to take out food order but we still hadn’t been offered. Service got better as the restaurant thinned out and we had a very enjoyable experience and will be back. View menu

We went for a birthday celebration in The Orchard a week ago, seven of us. It was their first night back doing food, 4 of us opted for the steak, 2 for the homemade pizza and a burger. Absolutely tasty, tender flame grilled sirloin steak, all of them cooked to perfection, delicious pizza with generous toppings and a scrumptious burger. Thank you very much, we shall see you again

According to their website, the pub was supposed to be open until 10:30. However, when we arrived around 8:00, a man quickly approached us and informed us that they were closing at 8:00 and we couldn't come in. He was quite dismissive when I mentioned the discrepancy with their website. This is the second time this has happened to us, and I'm not sure if any of us will be returning.

We've been popping up to The Orchard frequently since lockdown was eased to allow outdoor drinking only. It has been a treat, bearing in mind 3 other pubs locally have not opened due to it not being financially vaible to run a pub outdoors only during a wet and cold British spring. For that we are grateful. There has always been heated seating areas, and the table service has been fast and enthusiastic. The beer has been cold and plentiful, and the food great. Thanks from us. Very much appreciated in very challenging times for everyone, particularly the hospitality industry. View menu

I have to say I have been to this pub before a handful of times and have always been satisfied. However, I visited with family last week and must say I was most disappointed, we of course sat in the garden and it was like being in some sort of rowdy club! it’s a good job I don’t have young children!!! Very sweary and rude loud groups! I was also disappointed with the food and service! The boy who served us was most rude seemed like he didn’t want to be there like it was a effort to do anything! And when our food came we were never asked if we wanted any sauces or even asked how our meal was! Well, it was definitely not to a great standard. A real shame I must say. I won’t be visiting again o...

I visited your pub this evening 12.02.2020 for a meal with my mum. We were told to choose a place to sit as we were the only ones in there at that point. The waitress that saw to us seemed very pleasant and had a smile on her face throughout. I ordered the burger which came with fries, salad and onion rings. All was fine until I noticed a dead fly on one of the onion rings. The waitress was very apologetic and took my food back to the kitchen. She then came back out and asked if I wanted to replace my entire meal or just the onion rings. I chose to have just the onion rings replaced which was fine. I was very disappointed that when coming to pay for the bill I wasn’t even offered any kind of...

"What do you want me to say? there is probably not enough superlative to describe how delicious a food experience we had. how many people I wanted to eat here already, but last night all stared and we could get a table. the waitress who welcomed us was worried that the kitchen would not be able to cope with as they were a worker and the kitchen was busy with other tables. (we arrived at 21:30 on a busy Thursday without an extended booking after we checked with the kitchen that we showed on our table and warn that it was a 30 minute delay on eating. we ordered drinks and munched on Bombay mix while looking for the menu. nice not to choose from an enormous selection. I had garnel as starter and my partner had kabeljau. we also ordered our net. selection of chickens, lambs or vegetables thali with various beside dishes. I chose chicken partner to choose lamb....if the starter arrived (in less than 30 minutes we realized that we were there for something special. beautiful presentation and taste not disappointed. both cooked to perfection and full of aromas that did not mask the fish. then came the net. fabulous presentation of separate dresses that contain our chosen court and bombay aloo, raita, dhal and rice. there was a beautiful cone poppadom on the teller and we also shared a naan. it looked fantastic and tasted incredible. the dahl was so good that I had eaten a bowl of it alone. super delicious and beautiful spicy heat that does not exaggerate. our individual dishes were immediately shared with each other, as they were too good not to share. the poppadom was super crispy without fat and more taste than for a simple pop natural....a manifestation! lamb was melted in mouth and the chicken had a real chicken flavor. we have licked the bowls pretty clean. we had enough space for khulfi. 4 elections....Coconut, pistachios, rose and saffron and kardamom. we had two and were blinded by all. the pistachios and cocosnuss were really beautiful and the rose and juice card a really unusual joy, especially the rose. the whole experience was enchanting and we chatted with the cook (which was in the restaurant that talked to all the hunters and cook! how much we enjoyed the meal. Please visit this restaurant. it is worth every penny, and we look forward to going back and telling everyone we do the same."
