Excellent food cooked to perfection. My son and I enjoyed a Christmas Day lunch at Orwells Restaurant. The food was a delight as usual and the hosts Ryan & Liam are such lovely, friendly people. Always welcoming. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and with such care. Such a lovely place to enjoy Christmas lunch. Liam gave us both champagne to begin with before we even sat down ! There were homemade breads with various small starters. There were 5 courses and for my main course I chose the traditional turkey, although there was goose or beef filet on the menu, with all the trimmings. I enjoyed the lobster course also. Amongst the pudding/desert courses, I had an unusual dish of cherries with chocolate. My son doesn’t usually enjoy desert, but he remarked how good it was. Everything is freshly cooked and delicious, it is the best restaurant by far in the area. I was full by the end but Millie gave me the homemade mince pies in a cute box to take home. 5*. This was Christmas lunch and as one would expect, it is not cheap, but well worth the experience and exceptional food. Service excellent and especially to Millie.

My wife and I ate here we really enjoyed the tasting menu and wines to Complement our food we absolutely loved the produce they used, particularly the Mylor prawns were out of this world. The service matched the food, we can't wait to come back. Staff are a credit to the establishment thanks to all and looking forward to making this our go to place.

A truly memorable experience, I just wish we'd found it sooner! The food was incredibly tasty, and the staff were very polite, helpful and actively asking if everything was okay with the food. The ambience was perfect for celebrating an occasion, and was also Christmas themed which we loved. We'll definitely be coming back. What a special find.

We went to Orwell's, one night after being to Hand & Flowers, which is a Michelin 2 star restaurant. We preferred our Orwell's experience over H&F. From the food to the service, it was fantastic. The amuse-bouche was a riff on a Ploughman's, which was really clever and well executed. Got us excited of what was to come! For starters we got the lobster course. This was an absolute triumph. The lobster was cooked to perfection and that talisker bisque with the truffle was as great as it sounds. For mains we got the fallow deer. Beautiful quality meat, cooked pink to perfection. The venison doughnut was a beautiful cloud of joy as you bite into it. Finally for dessert we got the honey sponge cake and the apple crumble. We loved the honey sponge between those 2. Overall, just a cracking meal! Huge compliments to the entire team - front and back
