The Orange Tree - South Lakeland

Amazing food absolutely perfect. We didn't eat anywhere else on our weekend away! Great staff so friendly and welcoming. A lovely place to spend the evening. We can't praise this pub highly enough. Just pop in, and you will be very happy you did :

Local couple, been here many times in the past. Disappointing, poor service, average food, not offered desert or coffee. After a considerable time past while they prepped for breakfast service we asked to see the duty manager, we were told that he was busy washing up and that if we wanted to speak to him we would have to go and stand by the kitchen door. This was a Saturday night we were the only people left in the restaurant. Our table was booked for 8pm this was just after 9pm.

Stayed for 2 nights in September on a school reunion. I left my pill box in my room they contained the pills to control my cancer). The pub sent it back to me in a jiffy bag, not asking for any postage payment £4.15). What a wonderful set of people own/work there. Thank you so much. Great pub, great room, great beer and food.

Proper pub food. Attentive staff, generous portions, well cooked, extensive menu. What you would expect from a traditional pub.

Short stay in Kirkby Lonsdale and ate here twice. Tuesday night was build a burger and it was great. Butterfly chicken breast with 3 additional toppings was delicious. Thursday night I had really good steak with a stilton and mushroom sauce. Sometimes you only know it's Stilton because it says it on the menu but this had a good balance of flavour and chunks of mushroom. Service was prompt without being rushed and staff friendly and polite. Overall a very pleasant experience.
