The Orange Tree In Telford And Wrek

We and our daughter visited the Orange Tree Restaurant for Afternoon Tea yesterday. We received a warm welcome from the Foundation Learners and shown to a table which had been reserved by us. After having placed our order for tea or coffee we were served a Selection of Sandwiches together with Parsnip Crisps, Yorkshire Pudding filled with beef and a dash of horseradish sauce, a Sausage Roll and Mixed Salad. This was followed by an Assortment of Cakes and a Scone with Jam and Cream. The Quality was excellent and the Quantity was more than ample. We enjoyed the Afternoon Tea so much that we booked another one for next week. The Foundation Learners provided a very friendly and helpful Service. Many Thanks to them for a Job well done!

My wife and I visited the Orange Tree Restaurant for the second time as we wanted to taste the March Menu, which has a limited choice. My wife opted for the Grilled Marinated Mackerel as Starter, followed by Roast Chicken as Main Course and Poached Rhubarb as Dessert. I chose the Duck Liver Pate, Roast Chicken and Bakewell Tart. The food was served within a reasonable time by friendly staff. All of the food was well presented and was of excellent quality. Compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff! We can highly recommend for anyone to try this Restaurant after having booked a table prior to the visit.

We visit the Orange Tree monthly to see what the new menu has to offer, the food and service is excellent and unbelievable value. Perfect for us as we are retired, it's a nice quiet restaurant. We bring our friends and will be back for the themed evenings.

Once more we have attended the training restaurant The Orange Tree and had another superb experience. The staff and students always make us welcome and the restaurant itself is warm, comfortable and inviting. The food is as good as it gets...and after working in hotels and restaurants for 50 years, I KNOW a good meal when I have one. I just love proper, traditional cookery methods, and this Chef is teaching his students exactly this concept. The menu is well thought out and well balanced...it is worth remembering the students are training here and not experienced restaurant managers, so a little patience is required. The hospitality manageress works well with the head chef and this reflects in the quality of service and care. I shall keep supporting this venture, and hopefully we can encourage others to do so also. Thank you very much to all of you at The Orange Tree!!!!

The Orange Tree is a training restaurant on the Telford College site on Haybridge Road. The service is to a high standard and the food is extremely good, even better bearing in mind the very reasonable prices. Strongly recommended for a Friday lunch.
