After a awful experience at the beginning of July I can't praise Andy Bamford (The Manger at The Orchard) enough, he went out of his way to personally call to apologise for another managers rudeness & ignorance. He invited us back on 29-7-17 and all I can say is what a service!!!! It was top class, a warm welcoming from Andy himself, lovely atmosphere and the food was perfect, highly recommend and will definitely be going back. Thanks again to our waiter and even more so Andy Bamford.
We had a table booked for 7 people, the place was jam packed. We were served by a fab guy called Abs, who couldn’t do enough for us. He helped us out with a few menu selections. Food was good, we ordered from the 19.99 3 course festive menu which was great value for money. Pricing was fair but service was the best part. Big thanks to Abs for looking after us.

4 of us and one child went in there on Sunday for Sunday lunch we had prawn cocktail started and lamb and beef roast dinner followed by pudding I must say one of the best roast dinners we have had well done to the chefs great work lads and our waitress nothing was a problem to her polite and friendly and very helpful 10/10 to you we will be back
Since the Orchard has been re-decorated, and a complete change of menu, it has really come up in my estimation. The Staff on Sunday were run off of their feet, with the volumn of people, and they could'nt have been more attentive. We had a lovely meal, very enjoyable.
Excellent place to visit for lunch or anytime meal.. Service was perfect (Maritana) food amazing and ambience lovely.. All very clean and i could see a designated area for parties and larger groups.. Will definitely be back again very soon.. A must visit.. The menu choice was very extensive too
Service was great, food was very nice.
Alittle pricey for the starters for what you get.
The main thing I felt let here down was the toilets. In need of a refurb, very tired. Not dirty but not clean & battered looking.
Also be careful of the small step into the ladies, no sign & for toddlers toddling into the ladies it is a trip hazard (learnt our lesson on the 1st trip).
Overall a very nice dinner. No atmosphere but I wasn't expecting any.
Weekday lunch with friends. Good weather, so several people were in pub garden. We ate inside, not busy. Friendly & helpful staff.
The safety measures imposed to implement social distancing is strict and very good. The food does taste lovely--especially their Sunday Roast. Last time I went there with my family, we also tried their desserts too (not all, just some ;) ) Below are some of the photos from my visit (it includes the desserts we ordered at the end!
It was a busy Saturday evening at The Orchard Beefeater, but our table for 10 was ready and our server Eva was very friendly and efficient. The food was very nice and had to make sure there was room for pudding. Definitely recommend the Banoffee Sundae.
Casey was amazing, really couldn't do enough for us.casey went out of her way to talk to us to make sure we were OK.
The food was ok ,starters was very slow coming out and the main dishes weren't presented very well but tastes OK.
Our waiter was ok bit slow but friendly enough.
Casey really is a credit to this restaurant.
The staff were the highlight of this place. I was part of a large group of 7 or 8 and our orders were taken accurately and efficiently. We weren't made to feel like an inconvenience. The ribs were tender but they did taste pre cooked. Overall the food was better than the usual pub food but was still pub food if that makes sense.
Love this restaurant. Jason and Katie are wonderful and will look after you well. Ask for a table by the window to enjoy the views of the Chilterns.
Lovely beefeater restaurant which is easily accessible. Were short staffed on my visit, but this didn't affect service. Food was the normal beefeater fare with vegetarian and vegan options available - which was good. Let down by the Chef arguing with a manager in the kitchen during service which was audible throughout the restaurant area.
I ordered a fillet steak and skinny fries which was very tasty, I must say. However, it could have been improved to everybody’s advantage. I would gladly have paid for an extra steak on my plate if that had been an option. I could have chosen various different add-ons, but an additional steak was not on the list. I would have been happy, and the restaurant would have been quids in. Maybe they could put my idea in the suggestion box.
Fast forward two years……….evidently my idea didn’t go down well. Nothing changed.
Great place. Very easy to find. Lots of parking. Hotel on site.
Dropped in Sunday afternoon
Casey was front of house and couldn’t have been more helpful we had to wait a short while to get a table so had a drink at the bar to be served by Casey she showed us to our table recommend dishes from the menu and even checked after the meal to make sure all was good
What ever Beefeater are paying her it’s not enough she was brilliant!!!!
Went there for the first time for a wake. There were 13 of us having meals and a drink. The young lad dealing with us did a fantastic job
