The Old Orchard - Menu

Amazing place great view, would be 5 star but price vs portion size is a bit high. Update we went again, this time the food was good (still not huge potions) but the roast beef was undercooked and chewy.

Amazing views, plenty of space, very cosy pub, but could improve their menu and introduce a few more exciting dishes. Very typical pub food with no variations. If it wasn't for the cosiness and the views, we probably wouldn't visit that much (rather rarely).

First time here and restaurant/pub is lovely, great setting and staff were very good, in fact excellent. The food unfortunately was hit and miss. Partridge was overcooked so very tough very little celeriac puree. There was a large blackberry coulis smear on the plate under my chocolate tart (not mentioned on the menu), I do not like blackberry so it ruined part of it for me and also there was next to no salted caramel in there. The chicken pie and the roulade were great though.

Spectacular views and very tasty grub, not quite 5 stars if you want to nitpick on service. Simple things to make the experience top notch were forgotten, no salt and pepper on the table, no steak knife offered, chips forgotten from the order. Staff were apologetic but its the little things if they want to really impress. They are dog friendly which is always a plus, but when I asked if they could bring a water bowl for the dog the waitress was bemused, and I decided not to insist. All in all definitely a visit for a tasty spot of lunch.

Whilst the pub food and general ambience of the restaurant was very good and a beer garden with a view to rival the best in the land , the service speed was extremely slow considering the amount of staff they have working. One glance on trip advisor and you can see this place is living off it's reputation of 5 years ago. It's certainly a shadow of it's former self since I visited 6 years ago. Some of the staff were just chatting and laughing at the bar whilst we were waiting 20 minutes for drinks in the restaurant area next to the bar so I just ended up going to the bar and ordering myself because it was quicker. The waiters were extremely friendly so it may be that they are poorly organised...

December 2021: Glad to be able to visit The Old Orchard at Christmas. They always have a real fire going and mulled wine. Unfortunately, they hadn't started the mulled cider yet but, had a hot toddy; both were wonderful. Well done guy's for offering these. The food , for starters we shared prawn salad, very refreshing. My partner had the chicken and leek pie which was yummy. I had the salmon, which was disappointing, dry and bland, the veggie accomplishment were tasty. January 2020: I really like this place and come here regularly. Looking forward to coming in summer. Having been here many times over the last 4 months, I have to say the menu is limited and boring. Very surprised they haven't...
