The Orchard

Had an amazing experience with the Orchard - I booked a 50th birthday party for my mum with such short notice, the event director Libby did such an amazing job assisting me with the planning. The food was great, the staff also did a fantastic job with the set up and providing the food in such a timely manner. The event turned out better than I expected, even our guests are amazed by the venue. It was a memorable day with such a beautiful outlook of the view.

My wife and I had our baby shower on the weekend at the stables. The catered food was good and the guests were happy. Connie who was working on the day went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. Staff were happy to adhere to any additional requests that we may have had. Recommend for anyone looking a chill day with good vibes.

Great vibes. However, the medium rare steak I ordered arrived medium well-done. A waste of 40 dollars. Their farmers platter (cheese, bread, fruits and pickles) was okay the fruits mentioned was just blackberries (expected a bit more fruits). Overall, the food is not much to write home about but the establishment itself was beautiful.

We came to The Orchard on a Wednesday afternoon after hearing great things from a friend/influencer, but it was unfortunately very disappointing. We ordered the calamari fritti, steak sandwich, and kids’ pasta. The calamari had a nice soft texture but was incredibly salty, almost inedible. The steak sandwich was rubbery (like chewing on sandals), and the chips were far too salty. Service was equally poor. The place was practically empty, but no one cleaned tables the entire 1.5 hours we were there. Our food sat on the kitchen counter for 15 minutes before we finally got up to collect it ourselves because no staff were in sight. The experience just wasn’t worth it. Very disappointing visit.

Beautiful cafe in a rustic setting. A playground to keep the kids busy and parents/carers can see them from the tables. Food is exceptional! Very tasty! Also hosts a lovely bakery on the grounds too!
