The Orangery - Menú

Great setting. Elegant dining room. But let down by slow service one hour wait for food to be served menu inaccurate, food appeared to have been kept warm in kitchen for too long, not good quality ingredients. For that quality overpriced.

Again a thoroughly enjoyable dinner experience in the sophisticated setting of The Orangery. Short but well varied menu. Flexible about what was served as part of the dish on the menu. Good food. Respectful and friendly service. All at reasonable prices.

We booked for the afternoon tea whilst on our Peak District holiday and what a lovely venue and experience. Very attentive staff served us an elegant afternoon tea in a lovely setting. Would go again in a flash when in that area and recommend anyone else to do the same.

Visited here last night for dinner. Worth noting we understand the last dinner reservation is 7.30pm as the kitchen usually closes at 9pm? Anyway this time worked for us. The restaurant wasn’t busy and is beautifully decorated. The food was fabulous and the staff are equally as wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and the kitchen prepared a sauce for the steak which wasn’t even on the menu. Would highly recommend.

Visited one Saturday afternoon with a friend for afternoon tea. The Orangery is located in a historic building that’s beautiful inside out. The restaurant itself is lovely, great decor ambience. The staff were very friendly welcoming. Afternoon tea itself was lovely; delicious warm scones, tons of clotted cream and a tasty selection of deserts. All I would say is that 3 very small fingers sandwiches isn’t quite enough so the savoury side was lacking slightly. You do get a small slice of sausage roll though. For £44 for one tier, I’d expect a couple more sandwiches. Overall though, a very lovely place enjoyable afternoon tea.

Asked for a table of 4 hadn't booked was very welcoming. 2 friends was running late so we just looked at menus. Friends arrived we ordered 4 drinks which quite honestly we thought they'd gone to France to get the wine. We ordered 4 starters with 3 side salads and bowl of chips. Eventually 3 starters came I waited longer for a cold starter no side salads no chips. I said we ordered side salads waitress said no problem won't take a minute to to prepare you one. Chips came with a bowl of mixed leaves which i don't call a side salad £4.50p. We had all eaten our food a waiter came with 1 bowl of salad told him to take it back we had eaten. No one asked us if we wanted sauces or vinegar we had to...

Dear oh dear . Worst , most overdressed salad I have had in ages , totally overpowered by too much anchovy . My husband ate it but then he would eat anything as he was starving Lol. Dared to comment and a very sweet waitress offered to sort out a refund, however , both she and the equally pleasant receptionist were overruled by the overbearing and really un customer friendly restaurant manageress who barked at us ‘nothing wrong with it and just pay’ and then chased us to reception to interrupted a conversation, which was nothing to do with her at that point, in order to advise us that we should be grateful that she had ‘accommodated’ us in her empty restaurant in the first place without a bo...

Where do I start! My husband and I were looking forward to afternoon tea at the Orangery restaurant, after perusing the menu online beforehand it sounded quite nice. When we arrived we were greeted and shown to our table, the place was almost empty, with only one more couple there. We were asked if we’d like tea or coffee, this came out after 5 minutes. The wobbly cake stand with the very sparse amount of sandwiches and selection of cakes came out much later and our teapot was nice and empty by this time! We weren’t offered a refill and tried in vain to get the attention of the waitress who was extremely busy chatting to the other couple about house prices for about 10 minutes. She noticed m...
