Incredible pub experience! Food that would not be out of place in a fine dinning room. Cosy pub without any sort of pretentiousness. Quirky glassware, serious menu including meat sourced from a famous Smithfield Butcher (Tom Hixon). Very pleased with the engagement of the staff and warm welcome on arrival. Epic specials board means you can come back time and time again. I think we'll have to move closer.
We returned for a family lunch over Christmas. Not as impressive as the first time. The Wagyu Lasagne had way too much cheese and was swimming in oil as a result. The duck was expertly cooked but the quality of the meat wasn't enough to warrant the price. The coffee was watery and sub-standard and when we mentioned the issue with the lasagne the reaction regarding the feedback was apathetic. I did also write a direct message to the owners when emailed to provide feedback but I never received a reply. I got the impression that either the owners were away on a well deserved break after xmas week or there may have been a change of management. In either case I doubt very much we will return.
Visited The Orange Tree on a Sunday afternoon, was busy as we arrived but as the tables are spaced, never felt noisey. Received a warm welcome from all the three staff, they were professional and relaxed, there was no rush for our meal, nice atmosphere. There is a large menu and special board and all our meals were top quality, I had the Chicken Roast, the potatoes were best I have had in ages and with eight different vegetables, top quality roast dinner. The are no real ales on tap, only in bottles. There is a car park for about 20 cars with lighting for these winter months. There is a farmer market attached to the restaurant. Its not dear for the quality of food and service. Wines start from £22 a bottle. I will recommend a visit.
Delicious food, with a fantastic service. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. The food was superb. We visited during the 30 degree heatwave. The building has no air con, so it was incredible warm inside but there is an outdoor area which is charming for cooling down and eating outside. Plenty of parking. Would absolutely visit again and recommend!
Cosy pub restaurant on the edge of Sawbridgeworth. We visited for my birthday and there was a hand signed birthday card on the table when we arrived which was a nice, and unique touch. We had three courses, all of which were delicious and very generous portion size. Our server was very friendly. Toilets were also clean. I would recommend visiting (and booking in advance) and am looking forward to visiting again in future.
