   We had lovely meal but the beef in the stroganoff was a bit stringy . Which was a shame as sauce and rice were very nice .

   I went there with family to celebrate my birthday. The food was great and so was the service. They let us have our own cake too. It was busy but that didn’t affect the quality of service. All of us were really happy with our food.

    Haven't been to the Orange Tree for a while, due to other commitments, but noticed the prices have gone up considerably. Ive always had Billionnaires Fish Pie on the 11/12 occasions Ive been there as it is so delicious but to increase it from £19 to £24, I think is exorbitant.

    The Orange Tree - SawbridgeworthResponded 6 days agoHello LadyB I totally understand your frustration at the price increase but unfortunately due to the massive increase in the cost of food plus my gas/electric bills rising from £3000 a month to over £20,000!!! tough decisions had to be made in order for the business to survive. I still feel we are reasonably priced however for a fish pie containing Cornish Lobster, Hand Dived Scallops, Scottish King Prawns and Wild Cod. Hopefully you understand that its not down to greed Kindest regards Gareth

    We had a lovely meal for my Mum’s birthday. The serving staff were really great & went out of their way to make us - and my Mum - feel special, including a birthday card! The only (very mild) negative was the special prawn linguini which was delicious but very rich & a very large portion… impossible to finish!! Overall we had a really lovely meal for a special occasion. Thank you Orange Tree team!!

    Excellent food however with the starter (3 starters ordered out of the party of 4) 2 turned up and the 3rd took approx 5 minutes more to arrive. When arrived was excellent though. One of the party had a gluten free requirement and 2 orders of the same meal one was asked to be gluten free the other normal however in arrival they weren’t sure if any were gluten free so both meals had to be taken away and took over 10 minutes to come back. Must admit in general the food was outstanding and was a shame for the errors made in the service and delivery of the food. Would recommend and will certainly try again and hopefully the problems we experienced were a one off.

    The Orange Tree - SawbridgeworthResponded 6 days agoHello Thank you for your kind review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your food, my apologies for the confusion over the gluten free meals. Extra training will be given to make sure this doesn't happen again. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back very soon Kindest regards Gareth

    The waiter and the waitresses were really helpful The food was cooked to a very high quality I And really good size portions Good flavours were outstanding The only Let down was the cauliflower cheese Tasted a bit vinegar Didn't get chance to try the desserts But if the main calls and the starters were anything to go by The desserts would have been outstanding

    The Orange Tree - SawbridgeworthResponded 6 days agoHello David Thank you for your kind review, My apologies the Cauliflower wasn't up to scratch, I'll look into that to see if anything was amiss. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back very soon Kindest regards Gareth

    Visited the restaurant Friday 24th June. We had the two for £20 menu. I had prawns to start and stroganoff for main very nice. My mother in law had prawn tempura with sweet chilli sauce. Came out with a garlic mayonnaise, so not a good start. Her main was steak frites, no one asked how it should be cooked. Staff came out with a big lump of meat that was over cooked even the steak knife couldn’t get through it. Staff asked us if everything was ok, we told her no, she said she would let the chief know. When she came back she said the chief wasn’t bothered. But took £15 off our bill. I own a B&B and recommend local restaurant, not sure this one will be on the list anymore.

    Not what I thought it would be…. The waitress or waiter didn’t know the answer to my question . My friend been before and thought the food was better on her last visit with the service. Will we go again no don’t think so.

    The Orange Tree - SawbridgeworthResponded on June 26, 2022Hi Lisa, I'm so sorry you did not enjoy your visit with us. I would be so grateful if you could contact me at the restaurant to discuss this in more detail to get to the bottom of this & give more training if required. As all our bookings have to be made via opentable where full details have to be given in order to confirm the reservation I have looked through our reservations for that day & can find no booking with the name Lisa attached so cannot contact you directly. Kindest regards Gareth

    The food was very good but there was over half an hour wait between the starter and the main course being served. The service was fair; a little more effort to smile and make the guests feel welcome on the part of the waiter would have made a big difference.

    The Orange Tree - SawbridgeworthResponded on June 26, 2022Hello MGSSR, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Finding out these little problems do help us to improve. The waiter in question Adam is very new and still quite nervous in his new role so please accept my apologies the service wasn't up to our usual standards. Hopefully on your next visit his confidence will have grown and you will receive the service we work hard to deliver Kindest regards Gareth

    Fantastic food, service superb, they really go the extra mile. As the food is all cooked on order we were really pleased to take the chili out of our dishes - we are not fans! My monkfish and prawn curry was great, with garlic nan and two poppadoms. Hers was the crab linguine. Top notch. This was our first visit and we are already planning the next.

    Delicious well-priced food, with overly generous portions for some of the dishes. Unfortunately the experience was hampered by several flies buzzing around, which was extremely annoying and spoilt the experience. It was the hottest day of the year and the doors were open, so we understand they came from the field opposite.
