What Sandro Mathys doesn't like about The Orchard:
Not bad, not great either. Their legendary steak pie isn 't something to write home about. The gravy was strong in taste, which I liked, but the meat as well as the lid were dry. And isn 't it weird that the dish is a good 60-70% chips? They were good, though. Also, why give single travelers the worst table in the whole place? Facing a wall, directly next to the entrance to the ladies ' toilet. There were several nic... View all feedback. What arantxa wong likes about The Orchard:
Perfect stop. Near the botanical garden. The place is very warm and comfortable. Very nice and quiet. The fireplace part is beautiful. The waitress was super friendly. We had some beers and a snack. The soup of the day was lentil and carrot and was about £5. We also ordered mussels which were pretty good. I recommend it 100 View all feedback.

Had a very enjoyable visit lovely place nice food and pleasant staff, reasonable prices

The Orchard offers a mixed bag of reviews, with some visitors satisfied with the food and friendly service, while others found the dishes lacking in quality. The legendary steak pie received mixed reactions, with some praising the tender meat and tasty gravy while others found it dry. Chips seemed to be a common theme with some enjoying them while others felt they were tasteless and soggy. The Sunday roast and burgers seem to be the standout dishes, with the lamb and beef roast receiving high praise. Overall, The Orchard seems to be a hit or miss depending on individual experiences.

We had the fish sandwich, the steak sandwich and the fantastic onion rings. The food was good, but the service from Christopher was great.
