Orange Tree Bar and Grill

1. I’m going to give it 5*because of the response of the staff and manager. The Sunday roast was very nice and enjoyable. However the broccoli was cold , the mint sauce tray dirty underneath and £5.50 for the pigs in blankets was too expensive for only 4. But management sorted it all out professionally and we appreciated that. Hopefully next time things will be better because we will definitely go again and try something else from the menu.

2. Driven past many times so thought I’d try and so glad I did! Booked for Sunday lunch, probably one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve ever had out. Had 3 courses which was worth every penny. The food was so fresh and full of flavour, presentation was beautiful, full credits to the chefs. Can highly recommend the Toffee Apple Crumble too for dessert, it was heaven, portions were just right too.The restaurant interior is beautiful, very airy and not cramped too even though it was pretty busy. The staff were wonderful, sadly I didn’t get our waitresses name but she was fantastic, so friendly and happy. Can’t wait to go back, even though I’m in Stafford this is definitely going to be my new go to restaurant. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

3. Visiting friends in the area we came for a late lunch early dinner, making the table order quite all over the road.

   The atmosphere is upscale yet casual.

   We had quite the varied starters. The tempura cauliflower was quite a hit as were the fish cakes.

   My lunch was an extremely filling, flavoured cesar salad. For me a good sign is generously portioned anchovies in the salad itself. I may have been on a bit of a fish mood .. my salad was topped with a gorgeous sea bass.

   My friends chicken squer was a hit. As was the fish and chips. The fish was sea bass, and once again it comes down to the batter. The kitchen must be using some mysterious magical potion… It was crunch yet delicate. Flavoured… But not so as to detract from the fish.

   My friends sandwich was quite filling as well. He said the flavours went well together.

   Meanwhile the service was with a smile and friendly.

   Overall a wonderful meal!

4. I highly recommend the Orange Tree!
   Their care and attention to detail are apparent from the onset. One of the first things our server asked was if anyone had any food allergies.
   There were 7 in our group and every dish we ordered was enjoyed. The decor and ambience were lovely. It’s a very peaceful place to eat. Their special cocktail list was quite unique and we ordered 3 different drinks from that menu, plus a special request cocktail. All were really nice. We went to have a celebration dinner for our daughter on her university graduation. The Orange Tree allowed us to bring a cake earlier that day so as to surprise our graduate after our meal.
   The main I ordered had cheese in ragu sauce with pine nuts. It was very tasty. Try the Orange Tree Bar and Grill. You’ll be glad you did. We certainly were!

5. Beautifully decorated and atmospheric bar and restaurant. Also have baby changing facilities which was really helpful. Very accommodating of the pram as well with no booking. Would recommend booking a peak times as very popular
