I visited this place during my trip to the UK. It was very nice both outside and inside. It is a nice place where you can watch a match with your friends, play billiards and darts, chat, eat good food and drink drinks. The staff is very attentive and has a good energy. Thank you all.

We reserved a table today for lunch it was 6 of us and when we arrived the placed looked quite busy . We were welcomed by Sam who promptly took us to our table and explained the menu choices including any allergens and seniors menu . We found the option to be at a great value and made or decisions so much ch easier . Even paying separately wasn't an issue - she was so professional and accommodating nothing was a trouble for her. When the food arrived it looked delicious and tasted that good that we even stayed for desserts. Overall I was really impressed with the service quality and the warm welcome that I will definitely be back with my friends again . Thank you Orange Tree team for making me welcome .

Was looking for a Sunday lunch in Braintree and the Orange Tree was very well advertised as serving roasts. Upon arriving I was greated by the lovely staff members who helped me in deciding what to eat whilst also take into careful consideration about my allergies. Sam was especially helpful in ensuring that everything went through smoothly. I'd also like to mention Lilly and Darcy who were very friendly. I would recommend coming down to try their delicious menu and lovely fosters!

The food is reasonably priced, excellent quality for a busy local pub.
The menus are very well laid out and easy to order through the app or at the bar, a different deal for each day including a Sunday roast, there is a wide variety to choose and deals for senior citizens. The pub has a great atmosphere with friendly staff and the locals, there is sky sports etc to watch on quite a few tv’s. A large variety of beers including some deals such as 2for1 some days, I love a good deal on beers instead of always paying premium prices for mediocre beers and service like a lot of the pubs in this town, the quality throughout this place is very consistent and prices are very competitive.
I will most certainly return when staying in the area, This place is worth a visit, the staff are a credit to the manager and brewery.

Went up there with a freind for a catch up, we decided to have food and OMG. We had the burger meal and it came with so much and every bit of it was lovely, I had to bring the chicken burger home for my son and left half of the chips and all that we had was £5. Friendly and very welcoming staff lovely place. And forgot to say the most important bit the Pinot Grigio Blush was excellent

Great pub and great service. Would especially like to thank both Darcy and Jordan for their service. I have some allergy requirements and Darcy dealt with this extremely well. Thank you both for a great time!!

Excellent place, went here for an 18th birthday celebration and I couldn't rate it highly enough.
It was a really unique looking place with loads of paintings on the wall, It felt like you were back in time at an old English pub for the rich. Really nice atmosphere, good food and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended A++++

We had an exceptional Christmas Day dinner at The Orange Tree in Braintree. Our group of nine arrived early, and we were pleased to find our table already set and ready for us. The staff was incredibly accommodating; our waitress offered to bring out our starters early, but since we were waiting for the rest of our party, we decided to wait.
Once everyone arrived, the food was brought out promptly. Each dish was delicious, and the service was truly second to none. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the relaxed atmosphere. Despite being busy, the team did an excellent job, and we never felt rushed off the table for another sitting.
Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we are already looking forward to having Christmas dinner there again this year. Highly recommended!
