    Let me start with,We love coming here. This was my dad’s 80th birthday meal, not his thought for also being Christmas Eve, but today the orange tree was disappointing . Reason was lack of staff, only two members dealing with a full restaurant. Did have to wait for all meals to be delivered. Also crème brûlée was cold and should have been warm and also note to taste that no bayleys was tasted. We will go again, just a very disappointing evening.

    Both beers unavailable, Guinness unavailable, specials menu items unavailable, overpriced average wine, all in all a very underwhelming experience and not much Christmas cheer.

    I was sent the Xmas menu to pick from, submitted our choices but on arrival we were told that was for Xmas day only. They apologised for the mix up gave us 2 bottles of Prosecco on the house and a discount on our meal. I thought this was very thoughtful and we appreciated the service we received nothing was too much trouble. As we only moved here last year and been here twice before it will deffinately be our local where eating out is concerned. Patricia Hammond.

    We dine here frequently and the food is always top drawer as it was today. Unfortunately there was a problem with the heating/electricity and as a result it wait for food was an hour. To be expected at this time of year I guess and exacerbated by the problems. However when we got our food it was delicious and we enjoyed it immensely.

    We had a brilliant time at the Orange Tree yesterday. Fantastic service and food was delicious. On top of it, they are dog friendly and our golden retriever had the time of his life feeling like a celebrity ❤️❤️❤️

    Having been to this restaurant so many times before, I was very disappointed with the service this time… staff not on the ball and telling my whole party the cost of the meal.. a real shame as the food was excellent as ever

    We live in Braintree but the trip to Sawbridgeworth is always well worth it - we have been to the Orange Tree many times now and the food, service and overall experience is always first class - I can highly recommend the Orange Tree unreservedly
