Can't speak for the food, but staff were pleasant and helpful, even offering to bring drinks to the table. The ales were in good condition (always a good sign), and a swift pint turned into three. Great place on a sunny afternoon. Visited here in March 09 with my partner, after an afternoon round the Botanical Gardens.

Much like alot of the dishes on the menu, for a chef that came from harvey nics, they have slumped to a microwave kitchen, a shame really, as the food was great back in the old days the fishcakes are not homemade, infact they are frozen.

They advertised jumbo chips - what they meant was large chips brought from the supermarket - cheeky (which werent jumbo). Was part of a largish group so maybe that caused a strain on kitchen. Service wise, everyone friendly and pleasant. I would say a little over priced for what they offer but am willing to give one more chance to see if they can redeem themselves. will let you know what happens.

We had three wonderful meals there and everyone was as good as the first and would highly recommend that if anyone is in Edinburgh on holiday or short break please make time to have a meal there, I know that you won't be disappointed. We cannot wait to go back there again when we visit Edinburgh. Kate & Jim Wilson 8th August 2008
On a recent trip to Edinburgh to celebrate by husband’s 60th birthday we visit the orchard and would just like to say that the food was exceptional and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

We had three wonderful meals there and everyone was as good as the first and would highly recommend that if anyone is in Edinburgh on holiday or short break please make time to have a meal there, I know that you won’t be disappointed.

We cannot wait to go back there again when we visit Edinburgh.
