The Orange Tree in Letchworth

Ah, The Orange Tree – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the beer selection is spot on, with a cracking array of real ales and brews from nearby spots that beer enthusiasts will love. The staff are genuinely lovely, always ready with a smile and that extra effort, like hosting a brilliant wake or just making sure you're looked after. Food-wise, the Sunday roasts are the talk of the town – proper hearty and delicious, though you'll want to book as it gets busy. It's got this welcoming vibe that's perfect for a relaxed afternoon in the garden, and being dog-friendly with a playground for the kids makes it ideal for families or anyone with a four-legged mate in tow. On the flip side, the opening times can be a tad muddled, which might catch you out if you're planning a spontaneous stop. And the website's a bit bare bones, so it's not the easiest for getting all the details upfront. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat, with more highs than lows, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area.
