The Cherry Tree — Restaurant in Melton

Despite being our local for 13 years, have only ever been in a handful of times, each disappointing. Staff are friendly enough, but poorly trained on dietary requirements on the menu - a kitchen staff member told me that the difference between the vegetarian burger and vegan burger was that it contained nuts... Food was reasonably priced, but arrived with zero attention to presentation or actual care towards making it exciting.

The Sausage and Mash was delicious, the gravy was hot, and the peas were cooked to perfection.

The Banana Split was fantastic, you get a lot for what you pay, and it goes down a treat after such a...

My feelings on my visit to the cherry tree are mixed. Staff was very friendly but that's as far as it goes. My meal was awful chips were raw & the chicken & leek pie was terrible. It was rock hard my knife won't even cut it. It ad 4 very small cubes of chicken in it & as for the leek there wss none. To top it all very lumpy gravy. If that wasne't enough the music was played very loud & it was christmas songs. I like christmas songs but in feb. We will not...
