Orange Tree

Came to the pub for a family lunch and I cannot fault anything!! Myself and some family members are gluten free (celiac) and the waitress was very knowledgeable on the topic and happy to make accommodations for us such as swapping for gf bread/buns etc. Our food also came separately to avoid contamination. All the staff were very welcoming and served us with a smile and the food and atmosphere was incredible! They even offer a gf battered fish and chips with the chips in a separate fryer to avoid contamination (rare occurrence) which my mum thoroughly enjoyed. We were also greeted by the resident pup Bertie (adorable dachsund) which was a welcome addition! Overall I cannot fault the service or the food here and will definitely return.

We visited The Orange Tree on Easter Sunday. We had roast dinners which were delicious. One of our party members has coeliac disease, and we were informed that usually the fries are gluten free, but on this occasion they weren’t, which was a little disappointing. However, the staff member was very thorough in checking this. There were also only 2 members of staff on shift when we arrived at 12:30, through to 2:30pm. For Easter Sunday this seemed a bit strange; the service was extremely slow. We waited so long for our plates to be cleared that we stacked them ourselves in the hope it would prompt some action. When there was finally some action, they cleared half and left the rest. We had to go up to the bar to initiate any contact with the staff - for them to come to the table to take our order/to get the bill.
