The Orchard Restaurant - West Drayton

I met up with a friend for an early lunch at this restaurant while my car was being serviced. I ordered the vegetable burger and my friend had the chicken steak.

I attempted to make a reservation for a party of 20 on a Monday afternoon right before Christmas. I made sure to mention that most of the group consisted of elderly individuals with limited mobility.

I have visited The Orchard multiple times with my partner, friends, and daughter and have always found it to be excellent.

I booked with Openview for a table for 20:15 and we arrived to find it was closed for a function. Bit of a wasted journey and time. How can you accept a booking for a place that is closed. King useless.

Food was good but there was my family of 3 and 2 other people In the place but still took and hour for starter to come (bread and pate) so nothing to be cooked. And not many of the staff understood English so was a struggle to tell them what you wanted. So wouldn’t go back for these reasons. However when food did finally arrive it was good food just when you’ve saved your self all day for this and it takes so long it’s not good.
