   Truly amazing experience. It was our first time visiting Orwells and we found the staff very friendly and attentive. The food and wine choices were outstanding. The food quality was exceptional and we will definitely be returning for another amazing Sunday Roast. Thank you to all the team.

   We had Sunday lunch and were very well looked after in a pleasant environment. The food was of a high standard and well presented by friendly professional staff. The menu offered good choices at each stage. We had wine by the glass following a cocktail served with spicy popcorn. If there is a criticism, it would be that some dishes were a little under seasoned for out taste, and a little more gravy/sauce would have been welcome with the main courses. My wife felt her main course serving too generous fer her. Overall a very good experience, one we would be happy to repeat and recommend to others.

   Hi Simon, Thanks for the review, all feedback is very important. We always struggle with portion sizes as we like our food x. We are very careful with seasoning nowadays as a lot of guests are conscious on salt etc but never feel you cant ask, we got some pepper and salt mills to hand. We also offer as much gravy as you can drink on a Sunday. The chefs in the kitchen can drink at least half a pint of gravy with their roasts, so we know what you mean. Remember its never a problem for us at Orwells.

   Always a wonderful dining experience. Not the place to go for a quick meal, but perfect when you want to spend time enjoying some exceptional dishes accompanied by well chosen drinks.

    Had lunch here today with my family. I’m afraid not very impressed at all and will not return. Overpriced overrated food. In all very disappointing.

    Well what i can we say? We replied privately to you on email and what we got in response was exactly what we expected. All we have to say is PRETENTIOUS! According to the Oxford & Cambridge dictionary the meaning of pretentious is; trying to give the appearance of great importance, especially in a way that is obvious. Aka all fur coat and no knickers.
