The Orange Tree

It's an okay pub but a few things went wrong during our visit. We ordered food Sunday afternoon when there were 2 other tables inside who weren't eating (so really quiet). They didn't have haloumi fries, no sweet potato fries, no vegan mayo. All because 'the delivery didn't come in'. It was Sunday so that seams very much possible but shows poor stock management. After 30 minutes I went to ask the bar staff about our food. He went to check and came to our table saying it'd be another 15 minutes as the girl in the kitchen pressed a big red button that turned off all equipment so the heating up took a long time. Strange story and he didn't bother offering us anything for the inconvenience. We wanted to have eaten before the United kick-off which we had to watch in the pub next-door as this pub doesn't have Sky Sports. Our food finally came after 45 minutes and the mushrooms didn't have the garlic dip that was listed on the menu, apparently this was out of stock too. Then, whilst we were eating the bar guy went smoking outside leaving both doors wide open, was so cold! Then there was also a little kid running around the whole pub... Non stop and no one who told him to calm down. On a positive note, I loved the vegan options! The Wellington was delicious. So my suggestion, get someone in to manage kitchen stock, and let go of the children programme that was on TV - some sports channel would be great :)
