Orchard Cafe - Rutland

Always wonderful ..such lovely friendly helpful staff ... love everything about it and visit as often as I am able ..

Lovely food, friendly staff, and good service . Nice location.

I’m not a natural complainer but as talking to the ‘chef’ is intimidating I thought I would. It’s a nice cafe usually, Just don’t ask for anything with feta walnuts on top, I ordered toasted sour dough with feta walnuts, sounded delicious, what arrived was two dry slices of bread with a handful of leaves from a bag tossed on the bread, half a dozen tiny cubes of fetta a few broken bits of walnut.. no idea how you’d eat the pickle in a pot with it… chef said ‘sorry that’s how we make it’ Just a bit of balsamic oil would have helped, instead I had to put butter on the bread. As I was leaving two ladies seemed to be talking to her about their panini’s with the same topping.. stick to the quiche, it’s always good there.

Four of us booked in for breakfast. The customer service was excellent and helpful, and we all enjoyed the food, which was beautifully prepared and presented. Although it didn't matter to the person concerned, the only strange thing was that a request for scrambled egg was refused on the basis that only fried or poached is served; I've never experienced that elsewhere and was glad that, on this occasion, it's not something I'd asked for myself. Hence dropping one star.

Had a table booked for Afternoon Tea for 8. Had a wonderful experience, lovely food, understated, very helpful staff offering great service. all at a fantastic price. I highly recommend.
