Phenomenal. They even had a separate gluten free and vegan menu. Even put little flag in on my plate to show it's gluten free

Visited for the first time today. Really loved the atmosphere and friendly welcome from Earnest. I was pleased to see that the menu caters for gluten free and (for my friend) vegan and vegetarian. While the lady prepping the food made clear that for allergies she couldn’t guarantee completely gluten free due to a shared space, she reassured me that things would be thoroughly cleaned down and gloves worn to prepare my food. I really appreciated the care and attention given. The food was delicious, and I’m looking forward to my next visit already!

We held my afternoon tea hen party here and had the best time!! The staff were incredibly accommodating and generous in helping my hens bring their vision to life. Nothing was too much of a hassle and we felt super welcome - the team at Oranges and Lemons made it all really special. They were also brilliant with our access needs (I’m a wheelchair user) and dietary requirements (vegan, nut free, gluten free, veggie etc). The food was delicious (best vegan afternoon sandwiches I’ve had!) and we’ve had great feedback from the group. The room was the perfect vibe for us - lovely atmosphere and decor. We can’t thank them enough for such a memorable afternoon. We’ll be returning for lunch and many more afternoon teas…!
