Really lovely roast dinner. My sons had the sharing board and everything was great. At first it looked like it wasn’t a very big portion of food, but actually there was loads and we couldn’t finish it. Lovely waitress and love the decor

We live in Braintree but the trip to Sawbridgeworth is always well worth it - we have been to the Orange Tree many times now and the food, service and overall experience is always first class - I can highly recommend the Orange Tree unreservedly

Good table with plenty of room for 2. Our waitress was lovely although the supervisor was less friendly. Food was great , service almost too efficient except drinks service which was a bit slow. Good atmosphere for a rainy Sunday evening
