The owners have been restaurateurs locally for 20 years. The 3 dining rooms create a stylish brasserie-bar feel. The cuisine is British, with vegetarian, fish and meat dishes made using quality, fresh produce, mostly locally sourced.
The Old Orleton Inn has always been a 100% non-smoking establishment.
