Orchard Cafe — Restaurant in England

The Orchard Café is a gem located within a short walking distance of the main part of Shrewsbury town centre.

Be sure to check the 'specials' blackboard as the food changes on a daily basis and the service is provided with pride.

On offer is healthy, freshly-prepared, served extremely promptly and the intention of the staff is quite clearly that they hope you are going to return.

The range of homemade cakes is quite exceptional and it's considered no problem to take them away in a box for later (as I often do).

Regulars are always acknowledged and welcomed, groups and external catering (e.g. weddings) is also available and special exceptions are never a problem (for example, they kindly permit us to play board games at the larger tables).

The Orchard may bceome busy during peak hours (lunchtimes or popular Shrewsbury town events) and the establishment has a committed relationship with Shrewsbury's Sabrina boat trips, providing afternoon teas for such clients.

The lady at the counter starting giving sarcastic remarks. "It's not a pub. You can't just bring your own beer and start drinking it". Like, this is not Weatherspoons or Toby Carvery.

I ended up purchasing a Chai latte, but it was too sweet. Although it was fresh and all; you couldn't really drink it as it was too sweet. It...

The Orchard Cafe was simply amazing at catering for my Father's wake. The staff of Sandra and her team were just lovely and so kind at a time then there were so many grieving families after his funeral. The food is all handmade and it was delicious. So fresh and so much variety. Sandra put out fresh flowers and set up the venue perfectly for us and 70 of our guests. They are professionals in every aspect and we couldn't recommend more highly. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you Sandra...
