Review on Italian Orchard

The Italian Orchard may have a surface area akin to a six acre orchard, seating up to 300 guests, but do not be daunted by the size. On entering this charming restaurant you will be relieved to see that you haven't reserved a seat within a huge medieval baronial dining hall. Instead, the spacious area has been effectively divided into intimate areas, complete with a terrace that is ideal for al fresco dining in the summer months, and a gallery, suiting all occasions from a romantic meal for two to a lively Christmas office party.

The wide-ranging menu offers a combination of Italian staple dishes, such as lasagne, pizza and pasta, as well as interesting contemporary dishes. Daily specials and seafood dishes add an extra dimension to the menu and quail, guinea fowl and ostrich have been known to make a cameo appearance. The 200 strong, wholly Italian wine list completes the picture, satisfying all palates and pockets. The ideal place for an authentic and fun Italian dining experience.
