Reviews of The Orange Tree Bar and Grill
R. J.
Visited on August bank holiday weekend for a birthday meal. Service was excellent. Appropriate concern/common sense shown by waiting staff in relation to allergies with one member of the party. Food excellent, choice of drinks varied and found a lovely red to go with my steak. Sticky toffee pudding was amazing! Have been here a number of times before and will return again soon.
H. M.
We got engaged here! Love this place.
Plenty of parking.
I wousl recommend making a reservation.
The atmosphere was upbeat (on a Saturday)
The lighting is complimentary
The food was nice, good variety to choose from.
The interior was pleasant
The loos are clean
Would dine here again.
C. F.
Lovely atmosphere and 5 star food.
Visit this bar regularly and find it's the perfect place for snug dinner for two or a a cocktail and girly catch up, always a vibrant vibe and attentive staff.
Already planning our next trip ❤
Recommend the lamb, divine!
A. C.
I love this place! Every dish I've ever tried was delicious. The staff are great and the place looks amazing. Especially around Xmas time! It's my favourite
M. B.
Really good service, Josh the young man that looked after us was really good, and is to be congratulated on his good nature and humour.
The food was really good, presented well cooked well and lovely flavours.
Will definitely go again
k. L.
Sunday breakfast, lovely place. Really good value,staff (Angus) really nice attentive and helpful. Service was quick. Only criticism I love my food piping hot it was warm, this seems to be everywhere I go atm not sure if this is how places now serve food. However it was good quality and tasty.
D. B.
Busy Saturday night and the place was buzzing. Excellent hostess who looked after us and our server, Josh, was very attentive. Menu looked good. Partner had the chicken skewer and I had the tempura battered sea bass. I probably should have just read it as fish and chips, so was abit let down by that. The food was nice but nothing fantastic and certainly not worth the price tag. The burgers did look amazing though, so would probably try one of those if I ever go back again. Drinks, over-priced, but is that due to the current climate.
Overall, would go back but be more selective over choice of food.
A.
We had booked in advance and could only have the table for an hour and a half. It was very busy but food was fairly quick and service was good. There's a fairly extensive menu for food and drinks. The food was good and prices as expected. The car park was very busy and we had issues getting on and off due to people parking in stupid places.
S. A.
Lovely evening with friends. Staff were brilliant, put us two tables together to accommodate my partner's disabled scooter. Food was extremely good, service was fantastic. The Paragon Group of restaurants are not the cheapest of places to eat, but they seem to have got the formula right.
F.
The place is lovely, but i didn't like the food. The rice was bland and the sweet potato fritters were just to thick and hard to bite. The stuff was friendly

Great atmosphere here and nice decor.
Staff are very helpful, nice and will help with anything you need or want.
You get what you pay for in here, for sure.
Food is top notch and well presented.
b.
food was so LUSH! definitely would recommend the sweet potato fritters with katsu sauce 😍 it was a bit sweet but still really tasty. also got the tempura battered sea bass fillets which were gourgeous and topped it off with the mango and passion fruit cheesecake! all the food we got was delicious and they have a great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails :) only reason i would take half a star off was we were sat there for about 45 mins until our food came but was definitely worth the wait. great atmosphere and super friendly waiters, 100% going here again ❤️
S. B.
This is a lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and a warm soft ambiance...
We had pre booked, recommended especially during this current pandemic. In any event we had a 5.30 booking on a Friday and it was quite full..
We were seated quickly, with clean tables and the staff quickly presented menus. Our waiter was lovely with a great sense of humour and gave some recommendations.
I had 3 non alcoholic mojitos, elderflower and 2 kiwi & strawberry. The kiwi and strawberry was by far my favourite but I have a sweet tooth.
To start I had the fish tempura mix with sea bass, prawns and squid.. it was nice.. a tiny bit oily but still enjoyable. We also had the crispy beef stripe and fried camembert... the camembert was fantastic with an interesting onion dip as opposed to a jam.
My main was the pork belly, unfortunately it wasn't the greatest, it came with an interesting bacon and cider mash, I wasn't particularly enamoured with it... we also had the salmon skewers which were very tasty, salmon was cooked beautifully ..
Unfortunately there was no room for dessert, but they had some interesting options on the menu.
Overall was a lovely birthday meal and I think next time I would definitely go for the dirty burger next time as it comes recommended...
Would definitely come here again if I am ever in Stoke. Nice for families, couples, birthdays, all occasions.
C. T.
Place very romantic and nice. The food was really good and the staff were really kind.
I really recommend it

Fantastic place. Lewis is a Great manager as well really helpful and friendly and goes out of his way to make everyone welcome and give the best service possible.
Perfect good and great atmosphere
D. C.
Excellent food and very impressed with the service. The decoration and atmosphere is great! We ordered from the lunch menu which was just under £15 for three courses. The portions were generous considering the price, and we left feeling very much full. Shall be returning!
j. d.
From food presentation, decor and staff. I cand decide what I love more.
The food taste as good as it looks, no expense spared on the decor and the staff not only incredibly polite but also informative. Me and the wife will be returning. Worth every penny.
M. B.
After a long day travelling, booked online last minute for dinner. Very accommodating, efficient, averagely priced, good food, service brilliant from Emily. Will be back next trip.
T. H.
Gorgeous food, great service ( as always) and brilliant atmosphere.
K. C.
Lovely venue, nice relaxed atmosphere despite it being a busy Sunday morning. Friendly, attentive Staff, very organised, service was great. Food was excellent quality and cooked to perfection, well presented and oh sooo tasty. Price is average for the area for this type of venue. Highly recommend the Steak & Egg Hash and Vegetarian breakfasts!
N. B.
Well what to say ,went for dinner tonight food was excellent staff well trained and polite lovely place ..definitely one to visit .
Book a table early or you won't get in especially at weekends
I. H.
Great place friendly and helpful staff. The food selection and presentation excellent. Well worth a visit you will not be disappointed.

Great place, went for our anniversary meal at this restaurant while we were away, got a lively anniversary card on arrival and a table in corner, the food was amazing and well priced, drinks were a bit more expensive but totally acceptable, serving staff were very friendly and attentive but didn't bother too much perfect place for a nice well priced meal. Will definitely be comming back if we ever back in the area.
K. F.
First time at The Orange Tree today and we loved it. We had from the lunch menu and 3 courses for £14.95. Absolutely lovely and good value for money! Servers were all lovely, such an asset to Stoke. You should be proud!
R. W.
Great food, good service from our waitress, very slow service from the bar staff.
T. W.
Never been here before came on lots of recommendations and wasn't disappointed, we booked our meal online which was easy to do, arrived half hour early so we could have a drink we we shown to our table pretty soon after. The food was amazing and piping hot, I'll post some pictures below. The staff were great and very attentive. The decor is really classy and smart, the only thing which I didn't like was the noise, the music was so loud you had to shout to who you were with to be heard and with everybody else doing the same it sounded like a cattle market it certainly wasn't a relaxing and enjoyable eating experience, I don't know if this is every night or just on a Saturday as I say havnt been before. So for me the loud music spoilt a lovely evening, but could not fault the service or the food it was first class.
V. T.
Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Attentive staff. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion
W. L.
Didn't feel comfortable with it being really busy. Service was great however we did feel a little rushed to leave with them needing our table. Food was okay. Not much choice for vegan/vegetarians.
e. a.
Lovely evening at the orange tree, all staff wearing masks and lots of hand sanitising going on. Tables were quite nicely separated and staff were attentive without bothering us too much. The steak we both had was quite fatty and the garlic butter sauce disappointing, but it was swapped quickly when I asked to change for a different sauce. Cocktails were fab as usual and we had a beautiful cookie dough pudding (although it was baked like an actual cookie & hot so not exactly what we were expecting). Looking forward to the next visit
D. B.
Food and service was excellent! Everything tasted and was presented perfect. The way to check for allergies was simple and staff couldn't of done more.
J. H.
5 star rating for this place every time, my go to place for birthdays and special occasions. Tried so many different things over the years on the menu and have not had to complain about anything. The 30 minute drive is worth it every time. Presentation is top notch and flavours are great.
D. L.
Lovely venue, fabulous staff and really nice food
H. L.
Lovely surprise lunch provided by work! Picture is Baileys & white chocolate cheesecake mmmm
L.
Food was lovely and the portion sizes much bigger than expected. Wish I hadn't ordered as much as I did. Only bad thing is, menu is difficult to navigate if for example of you have any gluten allergies etc
I. N.
The menu is lovely, making it difficult to choose what to eat. The ambience is really pleasant and the decor tasteful. The service was really top notch and attentive and I'll definitely be going back at some point. I had the pork belly which was a little disappointingly dry and overcooked, like it had sat under a headlamp too long waiting to come to our table. It was tasty but the wrong consistency for belly pork in my mind. My partner had lamb rump which was very tasty and succulent.
S. W.
First visit here, We walk threw the door to be greeted with big smiles shown to our table, we asked if we could move sections as we where by the window (friend feels the cold) they moved us instantly with out problem, drinks order was took, followed by meals, we had 3 starters, duck and pan cakes , crispy beef and popcorn chicken and shared them they where lovely , mains where 8oz rump, (cooked to how was asked ), chicken supreme and pork belly, plus 2 sides, all where fantastic we where table checked shortly after and then again abit later asking if we would like anymore drinks or if we needed anything else,
We took birthday cake in with us and the staff brought it over and sang happy birthday, fetching plates n forks after,
Over all a great meal out!
Well done to team Orange tree!
We will be back soon!
O. C.
Much better this time round, meals came out hot rather than the normal tepid. Staff friendly however waitresses have no idea which tables they are taking food to. Had the sea bass with lobster sauce delicious!
K. V.
Went for Sunday lunch. Meal was OK, but was only warm.Was not worth the money. Roast potatoes were rubbery and cold meat looked just sliced from your local deli.
A. P.
Lovely food and drinks. Service was a bit slow on our visit, but it was full. Maybe more staff required at weekend.
J. C.
Absolutely fantastic food. Friendly people, service great
g. a.
Excellent,I enjoy value for money pub food, the orange tree is definitely not pub food and the venue and ambience is worth the extra cost if you are treating someone. Service tonight was probably the best I can remember ,my favourite restaurants are millar & carter but the service tonight at orange tree was a lot better than that at millar & carter
M. G.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend for a working lunch or a night out.
c. b.
Food good, drinks good, service shocking!
Staff young and inexperienced, so not their fault..
K.
Really nice restaurant and bar. The food was excellent and the service fast friendly and efficient, if I lived here this would definitely be a regular place for me.
S. W.
Lovely place and excellent young lady manager who moved us to another table which was a bit warmer ..very attentive to customer service
K. T.
Fantastic Evening to celebrate my daughter's Birthday! Food was delicious! Quality ingredients. Cocktails were amazing Deserts yummy. Thanks for a lovely time.
M. T.
Came here for lunch last week, honestly I wasn't expecting much. However I was very pleasantly surprised! The cocktails were lush, I got the fillet steak and it was perfection! And the dessert was to die for! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food arrived quickly, and over all I'm throughly impressed! I'll definitely be visiting again in the future!
B. W.
Lovely food, friendly staff as usual. We'll worth a visit, remains one of my favourites locally.
S. J.
The nicest meal we have had this year. A pretty limited menu, so you just know that everything on it has been perfected to a state of melt-in-mouth deliciousness. Beautifully cooked food and flavour combinations, a fantastic cocktail menu, lovely low-light ambience - what more could you possibly want?
A. F.
Excellent service and food although a little on the pricey side
F. M.
Loved the cocktails there was lots of choice and they were presented brilliantly! Service was slightly slow although it was busy. The food was lovely although the portion size of the main was disappointing - I had the Thai chicken skewer. The portion size of the starter and pudding were great so I was expecting more for the main considering it was £15.95! But I have to admit it was delicious and I would return but would maybe order a different main course.
G. C.
Popped in with the better half for the lunch time meal menu and wow I was not disappointed my partner had the soup steak and fudge and I had the wings lamb and white chocolate truffles it really was amazing highly recommended
R. R.
Fantastic staff and amazing food, very busy night tonight and the staff were so accommodating.
M. G.
Excellent brunch. The eggs benedict was cooked perfectly and the eggs popped and ran when they were touched. The hash was again so tasty, we added tomato salsa to the order which gives a bit more flavour and means it isn't quite as dry.. The service was perfect as always and there was a buzz in the restaurant area even at 10am on bank holiday Saturday.
The seasonal cocktails looked like they'd be really good also, may have to go back and try them at a more acceptable time
T. F. F.
Love this place!! Great food and the best decor in the area. I went for my birthday and loved it
C. S.

a. h.
Wonderful food, great staff felt very looked after
S. B.
Phoebe was a great host polite helpful and friendly. We had a choice from all the menus at Sunday lunch the orders were taken correctly and quickly. She was happy to check a few things with the chef for us. The food was served in good time but we weren't rushed through the meal. Checks each course to make sure we were happy. There is an excellent vegan/vegetarian choice here too. There is an extensive cocktail/wine list. The place is spotless clean Inc the bathrooms. Card payment only at the moment. It all felt very safe not too crowded although it was busy. Thank you for a lovely meal out.
D. P.
Fantastic meal, great service and brilliant staff. Would definitely recommend. Especially the zombie cocktail.

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long time. Excellent service, our waiter was amazing and consistently checked back to see if we needed more drinks/food. Starters, mains and desserts were all fantastic. Excellent range of cocktails. Will definitely be coming back :)
S. H.
Seven of us went for lunch today. A varied range of choices on the lunchtime menu. Great food at competitive prices in a very pleasant venue and brilliant service from our patient waiter!

Went for the Sunday dinner. Absolutely gorgeous, plenty on plate and the Yorkshire puds were out of this world. Also had cauliflower cheese for the table, I'm not a fan of cauliflower. However, I don't know what magic they do to the cauliflower but it was absolutely gorgeous!
Can wait go again!
C. A.
Excellent food, Excellent service, great ice cold beer 🍺
L. B.
Meal was fantastic and Josh our server made evening special
K. H.
excellent food as always. great very pleasant staff with the exception of one. the new decor is very classy too but I think the Sean Connery Bond photo in the alps DB5 should have stayed put its a classic
R. K.
Beautiful place,very nice food...but a bit pricey..nice for that special occasion.
T. S.
A wonderful dining experience; delightful for both casual and special occasions alike. We were lucky enough to enjoy many of the specials, along with several sumptuous cocktails, all served by Hannah, Misha, and the rest of the Orange Tree team.
What an evening, thank you for having us (and try the Baby Guinness shots!)
K. B.
Really beautiful restaurant. The food was fantastic! Can't fault it at all. The service was great even though they were busy. So glad we came on our holiday.
D. S.
Had a wonderful meal here for my boyfriends 21st birthday! However, cannot give 5 stars as I was disappointed to see that cocktails and drinks were being served with plastic straws, sometimes two in one glass just for the sake of looks! It's time for restaurants to get with the 21st century and start thinking about the environment.
F.
Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful decor, the perfect place to go out with your spouse or on a date.
S. S.
Really high quality food and drink. A bit on the pricey side. Facilities very clean and nice selection of seating areas. Sevice was very good.

Fantastic meal out for a pre-wedding dinner. Food and service was excellent, particularly from Jonny who was very welcoming from the moment we arrived and made sure we were looked after throughout. I didn't catch the name of our waitress but she was also very friendly, communicative and competent. Will be coming back!
J.
Came for lunch at the Orange Tree Bar and Grill with a friend, good was lovely, quite pricey for what you get. I would recommend trying this place out, staff were great so thank you.
Mushroom Risotto needs to be improved.
Starters were great
Hit the like button for more reviews.
S. C.
Good tasty food, good selection of lagers but no ales or IPAs which was a shame. Starter and main course had decent service then we waited for 15 minutes after finishing before plates were taken away, not ideal! No time for dessert unfortunately!
Nice ambience and lovely decor as well. Would go back.
Before 5pm it was 2 courses for £12.95 with a pint of Moretti being £5. Not cheap drink!
S. W.
Great place for food and drink. Good menu and great service.

Excellent food and staff. Would go again

Becoming the embarrassing cousin of the Parogon group, standard seemed a little off and a few mix ups with food and drinks tasted weak. As a group of 4, they presented 3 dishes for mains and left us for 5 minutes, the waiter then asked us what we were waiting for and we pointed out a meal was missing and they then had to confirm what we had ordered?? The food then took 10 minutes longer by which point our food was cold. Food was passable but not up to standards of old.
L. S.
Great service and a lovely place to spend a relaxed evening. The management and staff have clearly worked very hard to make the space as safe and clean as they possibly can during these difficult times with the virus. Spotless facilities, disposable menus and facemasks for all staff just add to that sense that they have really thought about the safety of their customers and an excellent menu makes The Orange Tree a wonderful choice for a quality meal out whichever night of the week you choose.
P. B.
Such a beautiful place! The food is fantastic and the prices are quite decent as I was expecting it to be really expensive but I was pleasantly suprised!
L. k.
First few cocktails didn't seem to have enough coconut milk in and didn't taste as nice as the last two we had. The steak is unreal.
T. D.
Excellent food, decor and staff great value for money.
Z. T. P.
Great location, excellent food but the service was poor.
P. W.
Very stylish place, food very good if a bit pricey, excellent staff. Noisey.
m. w.
It has certainly changed since last time we went here for a meal. The place looks very nicely done up. The main course was very nice and extremely tasty. The starter was ok and the pudding was nice if I had a portion I could tell you about.
It changed to one of these restaurants that give you a massive plate with a little bit of food in the middle. I think it is well over priced for what you get. To matters worse you cant even use the currency in notes of our country to pay your bill. They insist on card payments only, what's happening to our country. I understand about the pandemic but we had to pay on card that we had to hand to the staff and then use a card machine that everyone else was using there is more cross contamination this way I'm sure. So over all very nice over priced food but good service.

Grilled Chicken breast in bread crumbs and Rice.

Service was incredibly fast for New year's Eve, and the food was exceptional (ordered the venison steak). I would highly recommend and look forward to the next visit.
D. L.
I didnt eat there but the food looked amazing then other guests were eating.
Great friendly atmosphere.
Great ales that I tried.

Food took a while, but manager very apologetic and reduced the bill. The meal was very good.

Fantastic meal at The Orange Tree. Luke, our waiter, was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed, couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you Luke!
Beautiful decor and atmosphere with food to match. Every one of our party loved every bite and the menu and cocktail choices were superb.
B. S.
Extremely pleasant restaurant with exceptional staff. Although very busy rhe layout of the venue provides a memorable experience.

Me and my girlfriend came here to celebrate her birthday. We booked for 19:30 and we got there at 19:00 to have a drink whilst we wait but we got sat straight away which was excellent. Order a daiquiri and a mojito which where spot! This mojito was the best mojito I have had. Both of us order steak which was cooked to perfection for both of us. So much so I was thinking of ordering another. Now whilst waiting for dessert we ordered a dark cherry mojito and a watermelon mojito. Dark cherry was nice and sweet but the watermelon mojito was really refreshing. The desserts came and they where to die for. This has got to be one of the best meals I have had in a long time. So happy that we went there and look forward to going back soon .

Amazing place, meat cooked to absolute perfection. I would recommend
E. L.
Really good restaurant that is not 'fast food'. You can dress up or dress down. Good tasting food. Great presentation. Good selection of wines. Didn't try the cocktails but they looked great. Not average prices but worth paying the extra. Great for group parties. Worth booking if you are going in the evening but can generally get seated at lunch time without reservation. We regularly visit.
S. W.
Food good staff very efficient and friendly.

Service and food was excellent. Would definitely recommend.
J. H.
I ordered from the orange tree and the uber eats driver pulled a quick one (marked job as complete without picking up the food from the restaurant so he got the service charge for nothing) when I called the orange tree about it they sent one of their own staff out to make the delivery which is above and beyond service really.
Needless to say the food was fantastic.
I. W.
The food was lovely. A family celebration. All got to sit on one table (there were 9 of us), however, the placing of the table was disastrous. We were by the entrance and every time someone came in we were treated to a cold icy blast of air. Surely something could be put there to protect customers. We asked the management if they could do something but all we got was a polite no. Surely an establishment such as this, who serve excellent food and provide a table service to be commended could have thought beforehand about the placing of this table. Sorry Orange Tree, only three stars on this occasion.

Our first trip here but it won't be our last! Super clean and very covid friendly! The food was delicious, all 3 courses went down a treat! I recommend the lamb! Friendly staff and a great atmosphere and decor.

After looking at many restaurants in Newcastle UL for my family coming to visit, we settled on The Orange Tree and what an amazing choice this restaurant was from start to finish!
Upon arrival, the restaurant looked amazing, the atmosphere was great and the waitresses were friendly and told us what was not available on the menu.
They also catered for a family member who is vegan, both mains and desserts.
The food was fantastic, good quality and fresh, at a reasonable price too.
The entire evening was enjoyable and we will definitely be visiting again.
10/10 would recommend
S. B.
Fantastic meal ! Would definitely recommend 👍
C. J.
Great food, very small but excellent menu. Staff lovely. Only knocked a star off because they don't seem to be able to seat more than 6 together which marred our family meal for 10. Otherwise great.

Called in at short notice 7:30pm Sunday evening. The place is very stylish and we were given a great table in the corner by the window. There were plenty of people dining for a wet Sunday evening, on this occasion they were mainly young couples but we middle aged types are happy in that atmosphere! The service was ok, fairly standard, I was a bit worried when they came to take our food order before they even brought us our drinks but the drinks arrived a moment later and the food was fine. We’ll go again as it’s on our way home from visiting relatives

I came here with my family and boyfriend (5 of us in total). The whole place is gorgeous. There are (fake) plants hanging from the ceiling and the decorations are classy and beautiful. The staff are super friendly. And the food...! All of it was absolutely delicious. I personally recommend the cookie dough pie for dessert. It's heavenly. Will definitely be coming back here! :)

Very nice Sunday dinner. Excellent customer service and very good quality food.
Arrived with 5 adults and 2 year old. Staff were very helpful and provided very good assistance with the menu choices as well as pretty good suggestions on both food and drink.
Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the food and the experience. 5 stars. Book a table and you will not be disappointed.
D. K.
My wife and 2 young daughters ate here on a Friday evening. The welcome was warm and the dining room was really modern and well appointed. The service from the staff was equal to the best I’ve had. So friendly and smiley and happy to assist. The food was truly excellent. I’ve had equivalent in Michelin star restaurants! I hope to return and highly recommend it for small groups and families alike.
R. M.
Lovely night out with family food was really nice

Celebrated my daughter's graduation here in August. Six of us had a different starter and a different main. Not one of us was disappointed. Fantastic food and excellent service.
My daughter has decided to go back to uni for another year and I can't wait to visit the restaurant again when I help her move back next weekend. Wish I lived closer as would use this place every week.
J. E.
Absolutely amazing experience. After we booked a table, we were greeted at the door and the chap knew exactly who we were and showed us to our table. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very polite and attentive!
We tried the filet steak, tempura sea bass, lamb cutlet and chicken caesar and every single dish was perfect.
Then onto deserts, the millionaires cheesecake and lemon tart were spot on and it was a lovely way to finish the evening.
If you're looking for somewhere with a nice atmosphere and exceptional food (at a very reasonable price) then this is definitely the place for you.
S. W.
Fantastic takeaway tonight. Wonderfully packaged and tasted great. Thank you for providing restaurant standard food at home
B. W.
Had lunch there was good staff were very friendly and helpful
j. s.
Great brunch, quick friendly service, really enjoyable time
H. S.
The food is always lovely here, however the only disappointment is that the gluten free menu states that meals come with fries - although when then food comes, it is instead a potato, as they don’t have a separate fryer which makes them none gf. For the price you’re paying you would expect this could be adapted to or at least state that this is the case.
J. G.
Lovely food and drink. Good prices. Lovely atmosphere.
N. H.
Superb food and great staff!

Never been let down here, 5 star every time
S. A. S.
Highly recommend the Sunday roast take -away and kids roast - absolutely delicious, plenty of food, cooked to perfection and still hot when we got home.
Set your table, open a bottle and dream of when we can next go back to the Orange Tree. Support your local businesses when/if you can.
J. a.
Love the syrup and italian soda water.

Five of us went to the Orange Tree this evening, non of us had been before, and we were all impressed. The service was better than we had received any where. I am dairy intolerant, and its the first place where I didn't feel like I had two heads and was given details of what was in all the dishes on the menu, and for me this was wonderful. We all really enjoyed the food. Its not cheap, but for a special occasion, would really recommend.
L. D.
Absolutely beautiful restaurant and delicious food. Staff were excellent and I can't wait to go back.

T-Bone steak was excellent. Good meat and cooked to perfection.
Sea bass very nice as well.
Staff are fantastic. We were served by Arthur he was excellent.
Overly lively atmosphere. Although we had to he family with us (12yr and 2yr old kids) it wasn't too noisy, perfect.
D. M.
Trendy place to be "seen".
Went for a family meal. Bit noisy, but it is a youngsters place, and we went on a Saturday night. Music was a bit too loud for conversation amongst our large group. Had a steak which was perfect. I had an issue with the lack of garlic on the garlic bread, which was dealt with satisfactorily by the attentive staff. Service was not rushed, nor were we forgotten about and prices reflect the establishment and quality. Overall, a lovely evening, and if I went again it would be mid week.
S. L.
The food here is top quality. The food menu has something to suit everyone, with a drinks menu that is above what competitors will offer. The staff are always on hand to help and you can see that if a mistake has been made (if ever) that they try to rectify it as soon as possible.
Although the general experience of the many times that I have come here is excellent, there has been one issue that has cropped up. This is the wait for the food which can take up to 40-50 minutes from when it is ordered to when it arrives on the table. This is not acceptable, however when it was pointed out I did receive a rather large discount from the bill as a gesture of good will.
All in all the place is very pleasant and comfortable to be in. The food is excellent when it arrives and the staff make you feel welcome. I would however always book in advance because it can get very busy.
C. E.
Lovely venue with superb food and drink. Felt safe with plenty of room between tables. Nothing was too much trouble and staff were polite and helpful. Would highly recommend.
a.
Great food and service. Lovely venue for a special occasion.
S. R.
The food is very well presented and the establishment is clean and very well up to date. Modern decor and clean throughout . The price of the food represents the customers it attracts. If you are looking for a mid range price for your burgers or grills then look elsewhere. The price is a little on the high side paying £14 for the basic burger from the menu. This is trent vale not trent Vegas.
P. H.
Nice quality food....great place for a drink also
L. B.
Great food, excellent customer service and a first class restaurant. The only slight issue is due to its popularity you have to book if you want to go in an evening, so you can't go if you are feeling spontaneous. The lunch menu is great but you can even choose from the evening if you wish. I would also recommend getting a taxi or going slightly earlier, as you may have to wait for a car park space or be prepare to find somewhere to park and walk. However I would highly recommend and we do go often.
C. G.
Called into The Orange Tree on a mid-week lunchtime without a reservation having heard they had recently reopened. The car park was quite full but we got a table for two right away. The interior design was very contemporary and stylish. The service was warm, friendly and efficient with prompt responses but we never felt hurried. The meal was sublime. Ordered a selection of 3 starters shared for two- the kebabs and dip was the best of all three but each delicious. We had an 8oz steak and a burger for mains. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. As it was lunch we didn't sample desserts but checked out the menu. Wasn't sure there was quite as much there to match the main menu but will have to revisit to try them. Highly recommended.
C. J.
Nice restaurant, stylish decor. Good food and service.
G. C.
Would recommend and will revisit. Gorgeous decor. Great choice of food, well presented and tasty. Only negatives were th at all four of our mains were not very hot. This could easily be remedied by serving on warmed plates. An other suggestion please give more info on the character of your spirits, in our case your gin selection both on the drinks menu and for your bar staff to have some knowledge too.
S. C.
Gorgeous food, great service lovely venue yummy cocktails too
R. S.
Lovely old converted building with a modern extension with a mix of new and old décor that is really tastefully done. Food is great, quality pub food with great fresh ingredients. Nice wine list and always very good service. A fair amount of parking out front and behind the building. Good size portions and I have never felt rushed to move on despite the fact it is often very busy. Bookings recommended especially on weekends.
T. N.
Much better during COVID lockdown as the music was quieter so we could hear each other speak. Food was okay but the pork belly lacked a bit of seasoning and the starters weren't particularly hot.
H. F.
Good food and a great atmosphere. Service not so friendly as staff looked stressed. A friendly smile will go a long way.
S.
Wow 🤩 first time we have been to the restaurant and it was outstanding The service and food and staff We’re so polite and friendly and brilliant and all wished me happy birthday thank you all for a brilliant night we will visit again Been a long time since I have enjoyed the food and service like that from any of the other restaurants or pubs in stoke 💫 💫💫💫💫

Food and drink was excellent

Been there twice with my parents during my time at university. It’s a wonderful restaurant with great food service.
C. M.
Great food, Service & atmosphere. Have booked in for next week already.
J. P.
Food excellent. All served fresh and piping hot. Good choice of menu something for everyone's taste. Service good with polite staff. One down side out server didn't ask if we required any drinks so had to go to the bar which is no big deal.
M.
Fantastic food. Fillet steak was the best I had. Great place for a 1st date
T. B.
Fantastic service. The staff were very attentive and looked like they enjoyed working there. The Orange Tree definitely brings the gastro pub experience to Newcastle under Lyme. They serve classic dishes with a twist. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a fab night out. Cocktails were awesome - the bar staff demonstrated real expertise.
M. L.
The food was excellent. Xx
E. P.
Great service and lovely food!
R. T.
This is probably the best place for restaurant quality food in stoke on Trent, however you only only pay pub food prices! Incredible really the standard of food for £15 ish per main course. The menu is varied with a few style influences, but mainly is modern British. Good ambience to the venue too and looks the part as you pull on the car park. Hard to beat in this neck of the woods.
E. S.
Took my girlfriend out for a valentine's meal, our starters were smashing and our mains even more dashing. Ten out of ten, would recommend. Our waiter George was great, couldn't do enough for us. Thank you orange tree see you next time!
M. S.
The food & service were amazing. Only problem was it was too dark. We were there for my dad's 90th birthday & had to use the torches on our phones to read the menu. When we asked for the lighting to be turned up they told us no. They did offer an alternative table for the 6 of us but it wasn't suitable for the older people in our group.
N. B.
After a recommendation and seeing plenty of good reviews I am sorry to say I was a little underwhelmed by my visit.
Fancy crockery and nice presentation do not make mediocre food taste any better.
I am sure that many people will enjoy their visit but overpriced food, surly waitresses and drinking out jam jars is not to my taste.
You should read this review in the context of plenty of positive reviews I may have caught them on a bad day and been unlucky with my choice from the menu.
G. P.
Went for birthday meal, food was lovely but a little overpriced and some of the portions were small. Split the group of 10 across two tables which put a down on the night and we were also only given napkins (with no cutlery) to eat our birthday cake. Our waitress was also unfriendly and did not make us feel welcome.
W. F.
Love love love this place!
Me and my friend have a tradition of going for our birthdays, I took the in-laws here to celebrate my partners graduation and it was superb as usual!
The skewers are fabulous and so tasty and fresh.
The cocktails are amazing-my fav is the espresso martini.
Prices are so good for the food too. We will come time and time again. Fav restaurant in NUL.
H.
Unfortunately the meal was average. Orders mixed up a little. Food luke warm on all plates. Not even that busy. Scambled eggs very buttery - overpowering. Gluten free menu vanished? Staff however still friendly and welcoming. Shame as visit before was great
C. B.
Love love LOVE The Orange Tree!
Amazing service, food, atmosphere, everything!!
Caitlin, our waitress, was so friendly and very attentive, she gave some great recommendations on cocktails, mains and desserts-
We had the Chicken Skewers and 16oz T Bone Steak- will defiantly be coming here again when we visit Stoke-On- Trent :)
N. T.
We went as a group of four people. The food was delicious and the cocktails were great. I can especially recommend the espresso Martini. The staff were efficient and very friendly. It's priced at the upper end but we all agreed it was worth it. A great time was had by all.
C. T.
Amazing food amazing staff amazing experience 10/10
D. C.
Great meal, great value, staff and service were excellent even though it was busy.
K. D.
Easy to find (just off Newcastle Road) with ample parking. The Orange tree offers the best steaks and grilled food in the area. Cooked to perfection, with home made Chips and a huge selection of Desserts. It can be quite busy sometimes- so booking ahead is advised.
K. G.
Went for father's day and daughters 3rd birthday. We waited 1 hour and 40 minutes from when we sat down to when we got food and that's only because we asked where our food was. When food came it was warm not hot. Explained to staff we were not happy for them to then take ages to come to a decision on what to do. Not impressed and don't think I will be hurrying back there anytime soon
l. c.
Good for a meal close to town, the hanger steak is amazing and for the takeaway you have got to have the Thai curry (the best curry ever)!!!
J. D.
Great steak!! Will be visiting again soon
C. B.
Nice, friendly environment slightly disappointed with the choice for those that follow a Vegan diet or lifestyle.
R. H.
Great place to eat! I went with family for my birthday. I had the rump steak and it was amazing. Not got a bad thing say about the Orange Tree. The staff are very nice and polite. 10/10 from me
J. R.
Food was very nice. Service was quick and polite. Very busy atmosphere. Some of the party's food was cooked correctly but this was soon replaced and no charge for the meal that was spoiled. So very good attitude from management. Have been a few times and had no problems. Mistakes are made and this was professionally sorted with no fuss so very pleased and would go again.
A. D.
Excellent meal. Friendly Staff.

Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff that can't do enough for you! Food was excellent and cocktails were amazing! Definitely 10/10 and looking forward to going back again soon.

One if very few "nicer" restaurants in proximity to the University campus. We went as a party of 5 on the January graduation day. Whilst it was busy, staff were still very helpful and able to move our booking forward. Great selection of ales and cocktails while waiting. Assortment of starters and Mains which were all very well received. The steak was possibly the most flavourful cut I've ever tasted. Top, top marks!
D. D.
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The team are incredible and want to attend to your every need, anticipating what you want and need before you knew you wanted it.
I will definitely be visiting again and again whenever I get the chance, really would recommend.
T. B.
Surprisingly good meal. Don't be put off by the dreadful decor and unappealing frontage. Despite being frequented by BMW driving tattooed youngsters the place is better than first impressions.
L. B.
Lovely place but too loud and very busy. Abit disappointed as been looking forward to visiting
G. B.
My son invited me for breakfast. Lovely.

This place let us down quite drastically. Me and my partner visit the different Paragon pubs quite often, Swan/Wayfarer/Blockhouse and always get great service/food the lot. We had a table booked for 20:30, they said the table wasnt quite ready and they'd grab us at the bar in a few minutes. We got drinks and waited, in the mean time a couple came in and got sat down immediately, then another couple came in and got seated immediately, we walk back over to ask and get told to wait a bit longer, we sat down around 9pm. We order food within a couple of minutes and then the waits start. We waited 25 minutes to order around set of drinks, and around 35 minutes for our starter to arrive (despite the waitress saying around 12 mins for starters and 30 for food). This time I order 2 drinks at the same time as the frequency the waitress turns up is roughly once every 30 mins. The starter arrives cold, unsurprising as they also dished out 4 other tables food at the same time, and no one checks to see how our starter is going. The starter plates are cleared around 25 minutes later just before the mains arrive. They too are like warm at best. Its safe to say we disnt stick around for desert, although it too probably wouldve arrives cold. I understand it's a busy saturday night, but they should they should account for this with the humber of staff, the bar staff were brilliant and served us promptly and were knowledgeable and willing to offer advice on drinks. The food was average, obviously the fact it was cold did it no favours. Did mention to the waitress the service/food was poor, got a quick apology but not really good enough for a premium restaurant and nothing I was expecting after visiting the other paragon pubs.
d. l.
Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here a couple of weeks ago. Food and service was faultless. Being a special anniversary we spent a considerable amount. Was very shocked at the lack of any recognition and we were not even offered a coffee on the house. Poor show Orange Tree.....
W.
This is a very classy joint. The service was very good and professional. Ideal for a date or just a meal and a drink with friends. The bar area is a little on the small side but that's the only negative thing I could say about the place.
S. T.
Food was a amazing but the service was really slow .
G. T.
Great food and great atmosphere
M. D.
Limited menu but food very good. Staff great. We were there spending Paragon vouchers that had been bought for us. Not sure we would eat there otherwise as quite expensive.
L. M. H.
Nice place. Very expensive 😉
C. F.
Fantastic place. Lovely atmosphere and the food was superb. Not cheap but well worth it. Staff couldn't do mor for example we mentioned it was one of our party's birthday and she put a candle in his dessert.
P. C.
I cannot express how much we enjoyed our dinner here. I got the squid and my girlfriend got the chicken coated in breadcrumbs. We got a small dessert each of marshmallows and truffles. I wish I lived closer to this place so I could come back sooner!
m. e.
The food I ate was lovely and the service very good but with a very presumptuous attitude. My poached egg came seasoned with pepper, which was not stated nor was I asked if I wanted it and my glass of water came with a lemon inside - a very "nice touch" you may say but not if you had recently had a throat operation which leaves you susceptible to stinging discomfort from spice or citric consumption - therefore I left both - I could have asked for a change - but why should I? Not everyone's needs are immediately evident - other establishments I have been, rated as less reputable, managed it!
D. B.
Good was decent and prices were reasonable. Only gripe was we were seated in the bar area, despite the place being empty, which meant the tables were a little tight for space. I'm sure this would not be an issue in the main restaurant area.
A. P.
Splendid is a word that comes to mind.
Awesomeness begins immediately upon moving into eyesight of the pleasant, clean and well kept vicinity of the building. From the front entrance music is played outside - complimenting what is already a joyous, welcoming aura. Decor is honestly superb. A modern, cleanly finished and in some instances almost steam-punky design code is used here to great effect, with my personal favorite being a half-real, half-fake blossom tree which is frankly beautiful.
Staff appear to be happy whilst simultaneously working hard to ensure your experience is great. They really do seem to take pride in their work and it pays dividends. Knowledgeable also, when enquired about veggie/vegan options.
The burgers we ordered were all cooked and seasoned well - the baked potato I'd ordered on the side was probably the best I'd ever had. Only downside on this front is the coffee is incredibly generic machine product which I'm not a huge fan of.
Pricing seems steep at first but after we experienced the quality of the food we were staggered it wasn't more expensive. Solid restaurant and a must-visit.
Five out of five.
n. j.
Great food and really good staff
S. M.
Food was good. Unfortunately our party was split across 2 tables which was a shame. Also friendly waiting staff let down by kitchen's lack of communication that a number of dishes had sold out so people had to choose again.
T. J.
Really nice food if it’s sitting in or takeaway we always enjoy our experience.
P. H.
My fisrt time with my husband we very like it
M.
Service was good, had a light bites lunch menu. Salt n pepper chicken ( OK nothing special ) lamb shoulder sandwich ( again OK but more filling on the outside of the dry baguette than in,nice chips!) And fudge for desert. Fudge was out of this world ! Made my eyes roll.
I'd just avoid the light bites menu peeps
M. O.
Very nice atmosphere and the staff were great and quickly accommodating and quick to check if we needed a top up when the drinks were getting low. The food was nice and probably the best around I've had yet. I would say it's a bit too expensive and some of the flavours didn't completely work with everything on the plate being a bit overpowering. Overall a nice place I would definitely recommend and would go again next time in the area :)
G. S.
Amazing, food and Cocktails, staff top notch, a real touch of cleas about it
j. f. r.
Lovely place good food but the service has gone downhill. I was glared at because i complained my cocktail wasnt up to its usual standard. The waitresses used to be do nice.

Great place. Elegant, classy and food was great. I live on a low carb high fat diet and there was a sepection from the main menu that suits this. I was very pleased. Staff was very friendly too.
J. M.
Beautiful food, very well presented food and surroundings, happy staff
S. E.
Consistently good food here, the staff are very friendly and don't bother you every 5 minutes.
P. C. M. M. R.
Visited for a meal on Friday night. The staff were pleasant the meal was nice, but expensive for what it was. I really think the place is now overrated from how it used to be. Music was very loud to me, consequently people were talking louder to be heard. Sorry not now my cup of tea for a meal out.
N. C.
Absolutley gorgeous place, it's stunning outside and in and the food and drinks were amazing, we took my daughter for her 17th and are looking forward to going back, good vegetarian choices and the banoffee pie is out of this world, service was great, professional and friendly, looking forward to next time!
J.
Modern stylish resturan. Gets incredibly busy at times (I went on a Saturday evening), which when combined with the loud background music can make it difficult to talk/hear your dinner date. Quality of the food is good.
M. L.
Good food and excellent service. Beautiful interiors. T bone steak was delicious. Great place to stop for a break if you are drivimg from North to South or vice versa. Just a short detour off the M6 at Stoke on Trent. Highly recommended.
L. B.
Lovely food and atmosphere
A. P.
Expected more to be honest. Went for breakfast this morning, 1 veggie and 1 meat eater. The decor is lovely(apart from plastic flowers) and the staff very friendly and accomodating, the ingredients were good quality, but the menu was quite limited. A few items I would expect at a higher end place offering breakfast were not there: No fruit, no pastries, no pankcakes, no kippers, no yoghurt, porridge. It would also have been nice to see a few 'table' options and smaller plates so that if you were dining in a group you could mix and match. There were also more meaty than veggie options, which was a shame. However, I will be returning to try the other menus as the surroundings and staff were so lovely!
D.
Great service, lovely food. One of the best venues in Stoke on Trent.
a. w.
Christmas meal. Was a Bit disappointing. No crackers or table set up to even say it was a Christmas meal. They even forgot to put stuff on our plate which was on the menu. Not much taste to food. Other dishes coming out around us looked nice. So maybe it was just the set menu.
S. S.
Wonderful decor; quite an extensive menu. The service was exceptional; the food was tasty and well presented. Will definitely stop by again
C. M.
Favourite restaurant of all time, made such a fuss of my husband for his big 50. Thank you so much, always a great night

Visited here on Valentine's Day and ordered partially off the special menu. The food tasted fantastic. Would recommend sticking to specialities as the dessert on the day was not good.

Always a good choice. Good burgers. And a good overall menu and setting. Easy parking too. Not far from motorway.

Looked like a beautiful restaurant, food took a while to come out and although it was okay, wasnt as good as we expected. Reasonable prices
M. J. K. S.
Visited 16th April for lunch at 2.00pm with my wife.
I had the Belly Pork starter which was quite the best starter I’ve had in 10years. Followed by the Salmon Kebab which was exquisite.
My wife had Mussels in a Thai Broth, equally exquisite and the Piri Piri Chicken Kebab.
It was an exceptional experience.
L. H.
My first visit was for my birthday. I had a wonderful meal with my daughters and sister. My eldest daughter made me a beautiful cake which the staff bought out and they all sang happy birthday. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to all who made my day so special.
J. T.
Been here a few times & really enjoyed it but tonight service wasn’t at its best & food didn’t taste the same I don’t think it’s put me off just thought I’d share my opinion still good food though.
G. S.
Great food, friendly staff. The atmosphere was very chilled and was well presented. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was very busy. Would highly recommend!

Always a great meal to be had here and as a result you have to book in advance, especially if you want to get in on a Friday or Saturday night. Good food, good service, good surroundings. In short, It's All Good
K. C.
Just had our first takeout from here and it did not disappoint excellent service when collecting all covid measures in place and food was excellent 👍
C. M.
I've been here for lunch and dinner several times. The food is very good and it's a pleasant restaurant with nice seating and lighting. It can be quite busy. It's popular with families with children.
D. M.
Delicious! The menu is great and the food is even better. Clearly chefs that take pride in their work and the service excellent. We will be going back
S. B.
'Classy pub lunch' - The orange tree serves nice food, in a timely fashion, by friendly staff in a well furnished and maintained environment. The only downside is parking at peak times. A meal worthy of anyone's money

Lovely place . But even though we had a table booked for 21.15 we didn't get served until 22.15 which was far to late for my party of 4 to eat. Staff very friendly and apologetic though.

What a brilliant evening....quality food, beautiful surroundings and the staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much to ask and attentive to dietary needs.
Looking forward to my next visit

Food was nice and service time was okay. Staff very friendly. Not a huge variety of food to choose from and quite expensive.
J. S.
Have been here many times foods always lovely.
The service was a little slow & prices a bit high but worth every penny. Will definitely return.
P. S.
Great food, good service. A nice place to eat.

Wow, probably the best food in Stoke on Trent! Great atmosphere and all the staff sang happy birthday to a family member.Only disappointment was the male toilets...the floor was very wet and it did not come from the sinks.

Beautiful building and the inside is also modern. The menu is a bit pricey but that was expected. If you want somewhere where it's a bit more high end and love cocktails, then this is the place for you!

Good gin selection, good evening meals with quick service. Also good for a breakfast at reasonable price. Can get busy at peak times so worth booking in advance.

Lovely service, venue and food. Great value for money too. Parking on site. Would visit again.

Really enjoyed the food, but the music was too load for me while eating so talking was loud too, I know it's a bar but surely the music could be quieter in the restaurant part
S. D.
For a more high class experience in Newcastle (with a price tag to match). The food is amazing, and well proportioned served in a relaxed classy atmosphere- a definite treat every once in a while.
R. T.
Trying to be swish and sophisticated with prices to match. I don't want to sound snobby but I'm well travelled and whilst this may seem up market to some people, the cost and poor urban location combined with mediocre cuisine just can't make up for the quality decor and smart looking staff. It all feels like a gastro pub trying too hard.
T. M.
Excellent food and excellent service what more could you want 😋
K. D.
Great service, really friendly staff and the lunch menu was good value.
T. I.

Good food. Good service. Great atmosphere. Looked after the birthday girl well. Thank you.
T. D.
Excellent food and drink, sometimes attentiveness of service is compromised by sheer volume of customers, however I prefer not to be constantly hassled by waiters and they are only a simple call away as they always introduce themselves formally by name.
K. B.
Food was amazing! Beautiful soup of the day- mushroom and garlic. Fairly priced too.
C. C.
Came here just for Christmas drinks. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly. Have heard great things about the food although we did not eat on this occasion.
K. M. C.
Visited for a Wedding Breakfast.
Staff probably needed more training.
Could of made a little more effort knowing the celebrations that were going on.
Food ok . Service ok.
S. B.
Lovely food so enjoyed. Service good and no long wait. Brilliant before theatre meal for special night out.
S. C.
Come here frequently. It's always busy which proves its good. Food is usually great. Knocked a star off because the breakfast service was very slow
S. M. (.
A decent place to get a good meal at restaurant prices. Of particular note is their little green house-like area they've had built as an extension. A true improvement over the ordinary pub it was before.
K. L. H.
Food was really good. We were sat behind the bar very noisy and a bit to dark. Had to use phone torch to read menu

Gets a five stat from me excellent friendly staff foods out quick and fresh had the tempura sea bass with chips and lobster sauce outstanding one of the if not the best restaurants in the ST5 area not to pricey either plus a choice of non alcoholic drinks if your driving like I was and the atmosphere was very chilled out my fourth time going
P. F.
Excellent food and service, superb Covid arrangements. Shame about the very loud and aggressive music.
E. P.
Food is great but it is Very noisy don't know if that's because we went on a Friday but were in the room straight off the bar and we couldn't hear each other speak! Perhaps next time we go it will be in the week and perhaps ask if we could go in the conservatory.
S. P.

This is a fantastic restaurant. I travel extensively all over Europe and rate the Orange Tree very highly, I have been back 4 times since my first visit and highly recommend it.
P. C.

D. B.
Sat in a good place, I’ve heard some complaining about being sat by noisy bar. Food and service good but not bowled over to give a 5 as it was all a bit meh tbh and not that memorable but the family were happy.
A. R.
Has a classy Bistro restaurant area with good choice of food, and a separate pub / cocktail bar area - ideal for drinks before going into town.
T. A.
Excellent. This has got to be one of the nicest bars around. Chilled out and very friendly food is great too.
S. C.
Booked ahead of our date, met our high standards and more.we both had steaks and the duck wrap as a starter to share.everything was cooked to perfection and for me the duck wraps with hoisin sauce was to die for.i see many ppl moaning about the prices but we arefrom the south and as far as im concerned the prices reflect the quality of food.if i pay that money i expect gd quality grub and myself and missus walked away more than happy.brilliant food and brilliant service highly recomended as far as we are concerend woulf not hesitate to recommend and will be coming bk for another enjoyable experience.fully worthy of a 5 star review x

Lovely place, food looks great, tastes fine. Nothing to write home about.
