The Orchard Room - Menu

Sitting outside nest to an orchard with the countryside and chickens for company. Breakfast of bacon and eggs on a toasted muffin delicious. Highly recommend.

Delicious crab cakes and homemade bread with great service in beautiful surroundings. Do miss the gift selection they used to on sale though, hopefully this will be back soon, as will we!

Situated in a rambling garden centre, very rural with an orchard and hens running around. We have been there twice for coffee and cakes which were very nice. We understand the dinners are exceptional but as yet we have not had dinner there.

Three of us went for lunch... Sun was shining and the food was great. Sweet potato quiche... Delicious but quite a small plate of food...Scone clotted cream and jam...wonderful but the scone had been put in microwave which made it soft... Only fault.Will definitely go again.

After a long absence, I went back to the Orchard Room. It is still as I remembered from before. It is so refreshing to have a colourful cloth and wild flowers on the table.Watching the chickens running around in their enclosure and 2 friendly Labrador wanting your attention outside, is a delight.The food is freshly prepared and very tasty,

Oh dear...what a disappointment. It is a few years since we last had a meal here, and in the interim the standard has changed. The menu would have you believe that there is a good choice of meals available, but, what it doesn't say is that the roast meats are in the fridge and will be flash heated....similarly with the rosated vegetables. The cake selection was still as we remembered....good, as was the service. The area between the car park and the Orchard Room looked sad and in need of attention.

It was perhaps unfortunate we booked the Valentine's Lunch, but were warned that the menu was not as sent out to their mailing customers. In fact there was no Valentine's menu! We ate off the normal menu and saved money!!! However one couple who had also booked were extremely unhappy and walked out. Considering there were five people in the kitchen or serving there were still service issues one lady who just wanted some soup 7waited in excess of 15 minutes. It was in the end 5 stars for entertainment, but only 2 stars for the food. Further we had two different style of wine glass. In all a bad day in the office.

I visited The Orchard Room today with my mum, we were surprised to see how the garden area was all overgrown and just looked a mess! I know it is September but people are still visiting so needs a bit of a tidy up! The breakfast menu is very limited and overpriced for what you get! need to drop the prices a little, Egg and Bacon Muffin about £5.40 and you get one muffin with one slice of bacon and two eggs which they get from their chickens, so they make a good £4.50 profit ! Suffolk Water park get their produce locally and it is always fresh and you can get a full english big breakfast with tea or coffee for £6.50! no contest really !

Like the previous reviewer (localyokel29), we also returned after a short absence. What a shock, no roast beef only roast pork and chicken, which was not even priced on the Menu Board. There were only 10 customers when previously the place was frequently fully booked. When the meal eventually arrived it was bland and flavourless and the vegetables were undercooked. It would appear that the previous reviewer's comments had been completely ignored. We loved the quirkiness of the Orchard Room, the old fashioned tea cups and saucers and milk jug now replaced with standard white stuff. The little note pad and pencil with many customer comments has been removed and I can now understand why. We hav...
