The Orchard Tea Rooms

LOVELY FOOD FROM A GOOD SELECTIVE MENU AT RESONABLE PRICES SERVED BY VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. SEATING INDOOR OR OUTSIDE BY THE LOVELY MAGNIFICENT LARGE FISH POND. A MUST TO VISIT

Don't let the small entrance fool you - this place is amazing! The gardens are magnificent, the farm shop is great, and the cafe has an incredible menu. The high tea for one is out of this world!

Found this place by accident driving back from Durdle Door, what a fabulous find. Dog friendly we sat out in the lovely garden. Nice staff, tasty food, very happy with our experience. Great shop and gardens to boot Visualizza piatti

We were looking for a decent cafe style place whilst visiting the area, and came across this place. Spacious, and dogs allowed in the conservatory. Variety of food and reasonably priced. Plenty of vegetarian food with some good vegan options. Only downside as that they ran out of ham, eggs and chips, and the salad looked like it would have been nice when fresh, but by 2pm it was mostly inedible

We absolutely love this charming café and make sure to visit at least once a month. The highlight for us is the exceptional service and attentive staff. I called ahead to book a table to ensure a good spot for my elderly mother, and we were seated at table 2, which was perfect as there was enough space to store her rollator without causing any inconvenience. I highly recommend trying the jacket potatoes, they are absolutely delicious.

My husband and I called in for lunch. He had cod and chips £13 which was good value and he enjoyed it. I went for scampi and chips which really wasn’t value for money. It consisted of 8 pieces of scampi and 10 chips, that works out at £1 each for the scampi and 40p per chip, no peas just a very small salad garnish with rotten lettuce, tinned sweetcorn, little pieces of cucumber, pepper and tomato. Left feeling ripped off and will not return which is a shame as we are quite local. Visualizza piatti

Took the family for lunch.. We ordered three plates of Ham, Egg Chips., one salad and some cakes, plus drinks. The ham was stringy and marbled and a large amount was left on all three plates. My chips had many black eyes on them. The menu said Piccalilli was included with the Ham, egg chips but was not served no apology offered and not price reduction. The cakes were also disappointing. One of my family said don 't think we will come here again to which I concurred even through we live very nearby and prefer to support local eateries.

I have been coming to the Orchard for more years than I care to remember and have always loved it here and have had lovely food and good service. The front of house staff are lovely and friendly and have also been there a long time. Today we went there for lunch, I ordered a cheese panini with no crisps or especially not any coleslaw. The lady on the cash register double checked that with me and that was all fine. When it arrived there were crisps on the plate, no big deal I could push them to one side BUT my panini was laying in coleslaw. I only got to eat half of it which was nice what I could eat, but what a waste as I left most of it. I was going to take it back but then would have to wa...

We returned here for lunch with a friend after the Covid years! Last time I ordered ham , egg and chips with “Wessex ham”. My wife and her friend ordered fish and chips. I enjoyed the meal but the fish and chips looked marvellous and far better than I expected it to be. The fish were large and luscious . This time my wife ordered Hunters chicken and her friend and I ordered what my wife’s friend calls “whale and chips”. The menu at The Orchard is not large which I consider the sign of a good restaurant so I was surprised and disappointed to learn that The Hunter’s Chicken was unavailable even though it was only 12-30 . My wife ordered fish and chips. The fish and chip meals were not as impre... Visualizza piatti
