Apple Tree — Restaurant in Tewkesbury

Came here for Father's Day and will never go back for food.

The one positive of this review was the lady who served us on Sunday 16th (she was wearing a pink dress and did not catch her name).

She was great, took our orders and was polite. Honestly 10/10.

However this was the only good thing about the visit. Ordered the Roast Beef and was told it would come out pink. Great I thought as that is exactly how I like it. If you see the picture you will see the last time this piece of meat was pink was probably in 1985. Cooked within an inch of its life and tough as old boots. Utterly disgusting and when asked from another member of staff if the food was ok. I looked at the piece of meat said 'not really' and got a shrug of the shoulders and watched the member of staff walk off to the bar!

A little (alot miffed) I looked round at my daughters roast dinner which was a kids portion and noticed the only difference was that it was served on a smaller plate. So for around £4 less if you order a kids roast dinner you get the same portion as an adult you just get it on a smaller plate! To confirm this I think it was the manager I spoke to as asked what was the difference between an adult and kids roast I got the reply 'Nothing'!! Not even a lame excuse just the brutal honesty of I should have known this and there is sod all I can do about it.

So if you want a roast dinner that consists of one carrot cut into 4 pieces, a small piece of broccoli, roast potatoes that have come from a packet and possibly the most over cooked piece of roast beef ever known to man this is the place to get your over priced dinner from! If you want the same amount and same shoddy quality for less just order the kids meal (it...

Sound enough for a drink, not so much for food. Ordered camembert sharer for myself, which arrived promptly. However, on closer inspection it appeared that there was a distinct lack of camembert- it looked small for a start, but also looked like it had been left in the oven/ cooked too long in the microwave. I didnt know that cheese could evaporate in such a way, it was almost magical (not in a good way) I reckon I managed scoop about two bits of cheese with one piece of toasted ciabatta, that was it, all that was left was the skin of the cheese and alot of fat... I should also add that my crucified camembert was not alone, it was accompanied by some sweaty salami and some chicken strips

In all fairness, as we were leaving, the misses pointed at a sign saying that they were looking to hire a chef. YOURE NOT KIDDING PAL!

So to the management at the apple tree- I hope you find one and quickly... also, FYI, the current one, the one who I assume is dramatically moving about the kitchen, wearing the cloak and top hat, waving the magic wand at all of the cheese and making it miraculously disappear, thats THE MYSTERIOUS MANCHEGO, hes a magician and no good in the kitchen. Get rid. You need a CHEF they're kind of similar, but tend to wear alot of white... and a different kind of hat.

And incase anyone is easily offended, im only playing, but you do need to know that the food was not good. The bar is sound, service good and drinks are...

We were pleasantly surprised by the Roast dinner today. Great dinner, and lots of selection. We ordered via the app as mentioned by our server.

When booking the table online we did press 'table service' not the 'order at bar' one.. so bit odd that you just use the app anyway, but worked for us!

On the menu it mentions that the beef will be served pink. It was not pink at all, which I guess is great if you do like it well done.. not so if you ordered it for that reason. Still, very tasty.

Unfortunately an added extra to the roast never came. When mentioning it as plates were cleared, the waitress could not refund it to the card as we had used the app.. which isn't her fault - Kindly they gave us the refund in cash. Strange that we are told to use the app but it doesn't seem to make the service staff's lives very easy.

We then went to order dessert, small puddings and hot drinks. Only to overhear that the coffee beans were out, and that other customers had paid for coffees that weren't going to happen.. so we didn't bother. Such a shame as we would have happily given them another chance.

We hope to visit again and have a...
