An outstanding tea room in a beautiful idyllic setting. I popped in here for some lunch before heading home after visiting the nearby Lotus factory at Hethel. The staff were brilliant, happy friendly, helpful and attentive. All of the food I had was simply delicious and well presented. The afternoon teas being enjoyed by fellow customers looked very good and I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy one.
When I heard about The Orangery, I expected a Victorian ornate, glazed timber building, The Orangery is not that.
The Orangery is a lovely tea room with a partially covered outside space, it is dog friendly outside and offers a great range of cakes and savouries.
We had amazing sausage rolls, which came with salad and coleslaw, and cake along with coffees and tea.
The gardens and lake are glorious and well worth a walk.
Absolutely lovely experience this morning at the Orangery! We booked a table for three in the Marquee and it was toasty warm with the heaters and amazing views across the gardens onto the lake.
I ordered the gluten free pancakes with bananas, mixed berries and chocolate sauce. It was delicious! The pancakes were fluffy and the berries were fresh. I loved the presentation on the wooden chopping board 😍
They had gluten free brownies too, and the girl who served us said they usually have gluten free Victoria Sponge. They offer gluten free bread for their sandwiches and paninis so plenty of options.
I also had a hot chocolate with almond milk which was very rich. It was too sweet for my liking, but maybe that's because I had chocolate sauce with my pancakes!
The grounds are beautiful to walk through and the staff were extremely friendly and cheerful. They were helpful about answering questions on gluten free options, and the service was quick from when we ordered to the food arriving.
Would highly recommend to everyone. We will definitely be back to try more of their delicious food. Thank you Orangery staff!
