    Myself & 4 friends meet regularly for lunch & like to try a different venue throughout Essex & Hertfordshire each time.I had eaten at the Orange Tree previously and recommend it for our lunch date. We unanimously agreed that it was the best lunch that we had had . Food,service, atmosphere, value all were exceptional & would be very hard to beat for future lunch dates.The menu is very varied & you couldn't fail to find something you liked And the prices were sensible & good value for such high class food, something that's rare to find these days. We will certainly be returning.

    The Wagyu bacon and cheese burger is superb. One of the best burgers I have had (and I’ve had a lot). Great prices too.

    Had a pretty below par experience last week but was invited back by the establishment to try them again - thanks Chef Gareth. This time the food was 5* and back where it should be. I love the fact that Orange Tree took the time out to fix things. Thank you.
