    We were there for a Christmas lunch but the festive menu was very disappointing. It was uninspiring and expensive. I decided to opt for something from the other menu which was nice but everyday and expensive. The set menu my friends had was poor. There was nothing added given the time of year not even a sweet never mind a mince pie.

    My visit to the Orange Free was a special treat for two friends on my 80th birthday. We very much enjoyed the food, the cooking by the chief was excellent,a good atmosphere, friendly efficient service. I would recommend . The main menu was expensive, but fine for a special occasion, there was a 2 could or 3 at a reasonable price of eating out during the week.

    Had a lovely meal, was a little bit disappointed that they didn’t do gluten free yorkshire puddings. We were recommend to come to this restaurant as they did them and I put a note on my reservation stating there were gluten free guests.

    Couldn't really fault any part of the meal. There was a really loud table of lads and the acoustics because of how small the venue is meant that me and my partner couldn't hear eachother at some points across the table when they were bellowing and laughing. But can barely fault the staff.

    There were 6 of us for lunch on Tuesday and we were all very pleased with our food choices. We were not in a hurry and at no time did we feel rushed. We've been many times with family, friends, or just the two of us, and we have always been very happy with the whole package. We will definitely return. Thankyou Orange Tree staff.

    The food agreed by all of us was delicious. The portions were ample. Whilst waiting for the rest of our table we had the sharing bread, full of flavour and left us ready for our main course. The ingredients were fresh,full of flavour, agreed by all. The desserts were equally tasty and the staff were friendly and attentive. This was a first visit for us and we will definitely be returning. Pricing was very fair for delicious food.

    We visited the Orange Tree for my mums 85th birthday. We had asked for tables together for 9 of us and when we arrived we got the tables we had asked for. There was a card on the table for my mum. The service throughout our meal was good, the food was excellent and the value for money also good. Would we return? Yes we would.
