Me & Jayne decided to go out for lunch as we always do! We decided to try somewhere different & went to The Orange Tree in Chadwick End as it is a sister pub to a lot of other resturants we have tried such as The Crabmill, The Baraset Barn, Mortans- all of which we visit quite a lot. So we thought we could give this one a try and compare it to the others. The Orange Tree is gorgeous inside and is decorated lovely and we managed to find a table straight away which was good considering how busy it was.
We took ages looking at the menu and took a while deciding what to have. We went for a starter to share then a main each then a desert to share.
For starter we shared...
BBQ Ribs, Honey and Soy Glazed Chicken Wings, Spring Onion, Ginger and Melon for £6.95. This was a gorgeous starter and the ribs and chicken wings were so tender and succulent The spring onion and melon gave it that extra bit of flavour which complimented really well with the spiciness of the ribs and chicken wings.
For my main course I had the Smoked Haddock and Egg Fishcake Roast Sweetcorn and Mango Salsa and Fries. These were yummy and the fishcakes were cooked perfectly and weren't dry at all as usual fishcakes can be, the chips went perfectly with it and the mango salsa complimented really well! This main was £12.95 which I think is quite expensive but it was worth it! I love fishcakes and this was definitely a brilliant main!
For pudding we shared a melt in the middle chocolate pudding with raspberry coulis and marmalade mascarpone. This was SO good, I absolutely loved it! Its quite an unusual choice for me but it was delicious! The warm chocolate pudding was so yummy with the melt in the middle chocolate sauce giving in that extra yummy chocolatyness!! It was incredibly rich and definitely was a sharing desert! The marmalade mascarpone was actually delicious and a nice surprise as I wasn't sure about it as I don't like marmalade but I loved it! It completed so well with the chocolate and helped to calm down the richness, the raspberry coulis also gave it that fruity touch that it needed. Over all this was a gorgeous desert and I would eat it again & again!
I think the Orange Tree is one of the best pubs out of the sister pubs I have tried so far and the service, decor, atmosphere and food was brilliant! Would definitely go back!
