As a regular visitor we love to bring our guests to the orange tree restaurant ,I requested a table by the window in the entrance which was kindly put in place and the varied menu gave everyone plenty of choices including one of our guests who was vegetarian. I had the special seafood linguine ,my husband had the chicken dish stuffed with spinach and chorizo, one of our guests had the lamb koftas and the other had the cauliflower vegetarian dish all beautifully presented and really delicious .The ambience is really nice and service is outstanding so a big thankyou for making our experience so good

The evening started well, as we received a Happy Anniversary card on our Table—a nice touch. The menu is extensive, so there was a lot to choose from.
The service was attentive when we sat down and ordered our meal. But attention to our table dropped as the restaurant was busy, so we had to wait a bit for our dessert order.
Nonetheless, we had a good experience, and it was just right for a quiet dinner with my wife to celebrate our 7th anniversary.

Unfortunate day for The Orange Tree - they had a power cut for approx 1 hour midway through lunch … we had party of 3 - 2 had starters which were lovely, but the third didn’t - then the power cut happened, and as time went on our friends tummy began to rumble and we were offered no nibbles or further explanation … we had to ask for something cold to be served (a small sandwich) as we continued to wait for an update. Eventually the power was restored but we all felt the waiting staff had not been particularly gracious about the situation and explained a sandwich would be difficult as all their bread is baked on the premises … the sandwich was 2 slices of white cut loaf with some grated cheese & tomato …
The burger & fish dish served were very nice - the Thai green curry was swimming in liquid, but very tasty … portion sizes were generous.
