The Orange Tree — Restaurant in London

27th august went there with my partner to watch the arsenal/fullham game.. prior to arriving i had made a phone call to book a table there and was told they were fully booked and was open for regulars only and was told to try the broadway or the three wishes and basically it was left there but something told me to still go as its a pub and should be open to the public.. spent £11 to get there and upon arrival we noticed there was 8 people in the pub and there was 6 empty tables … anyways… ordered at least £30 of drinks… when the match came to half time we proceeded to go out for a smoke and the bar lady presumed we were leaving for good and said bye… so we felt unwelcome from that point on… came back enjoyed the second half.. and went for a walk and as i am Type 1 Diabetic i needed a diet drink .. came back to the pub to play pool and we were playing.. finished a game and was about to set up another and i moved my handbag which was near my diet drink, the land lady whom was not present throughout the entire time we were there than looked over and saw my drink and asked me where i had got it from and assumed we just walked in with our own drinks off the street and decided to play pool.. when trying to calmly explain myself she said she doesnt care and we must give our drinks to her like we’re children… we decided to leave as she didn’t understand we already spent £40 in drinks and snacks and treated us absolutely horribly and even asked me if i was the person she had spoken to on the phone.. very ignorant.. i am turkish and my partner is black Caribbean… i have no idea what her issue was but i suffer with anxety and depression .. rarely get out and couldn’t believe this.. she made me feel absolutely small and im 33 with a 14 year old daughter… avoid this pub if your not English white as i sense strong racism from them… such a shame as I went school in the local area and the governor was so welcoming at our previous...

UTTER DISGRACE! Sadly I had to give it one star in order to offer an HONEST review,had there been a minus star button, I'd give it a huge minus. This building is stunning but sadly there is ends. Today Good Friday I thought ok, the food is formatted ( meaning that if you order a burger it MUST be well done,as the food comes in already cooked and in my opinion is vile) And so we get to the bar, we stand there and 10 minutes pass and the man behind the bar says ' Gonna be ages 'No ' hello or I'm sorry' and zero explanation. Now maybe it was a surprise that it was a sunny day and a Bank Holiday? The prices they charge in there are over the top so why lose customers? I simply do not get how this business stays open. Every year I pray someone takes it over. Finally, I am not the type to slate a restaurant on social media buy this is me being polite! Please feel free to go but at your...

Pros; Guinness is decent

Cons; Very family unfriendly. Was refused service in the afternoon with my wife as we had our baby (who was fast asleep), which is technically discriminatory and illegal. Bar man cited covid rules (we’re very careful to follow the rules, we’re one house hold of 3 and had already given track and trace info, so it was just a made up excuse which infuriated me more, would have rather he just said I don’t like babies!)

Anyway won’t be returning to this local which is fine as there are loads of better, friendly, welcoming options in the area anyway (Dog and Duck it is from...
