About Italian Orchard

Set in its own spacious grounds near Broughton, north of Preston, the Italian Orchard was established in 1985 and can accommodate up to 300 diners in very comfortable surroundings. Both the a la carte and ever-changing specials menus offer a huge choice of dishes encompassing modern and traditional Italian cooking and seafood is a speciality with fresh oysters, lobster, monkfish, sea bass and dover sole featuring regularly. Where possible produce is sourced direct from Italy and wine lovers can spend time perusing a wonderful 200-bin all-Italian wine list which has been lovingly created over the years by the Braganini family. The restaurant has a glass-fronted extension overlooking the fountains which is perfect for al fresco dining in summer and in 2018 a stunning new standalone bar was added at the front of the property. Open Monday to Saturday 12pm-2pm and 6pm-late and Sunday 12pm-late.

I would highly recommend this restaurant which we visited with friends before the lockdown. We were made very welcome in the sophisticated entrance bar area, we’re been here several times and the food and ambiance hasn’t disappointed us. I had the salmon pasta dish which was freshly cooked and tasty, the portions are more than enough, and the service is brilliant.

I ate here on a wet windy wednesday night. I havent been here since the new bar was added and have to say it was pretty impressive and a welcome addition to the building. We were shown in to the bar and given menus and drinks order taken. We ordered Caprese Salad and garlic bread for starters and a couple of pizzas for main courses. All in all it was ok however next time will order something from the specials menu for a change.

First visit since the huge new bar-lounge was added in front. Very impressive and it was needed too as the old bar did tend to get a bit crowded. Great atmosphere as always and a wide choice of both food and wine. The fact that this place is huge, well off the beaten track and always packed tells you all you need to know really.

Went for dinner at the (new look) Italian Orchard last Sunday and was very impressed. They have revamped the entrance and bar area and with the open fire it’s a great spot to sit and peruse the menus (and peruse them you need to). The specials are just as extensive as the main a la carte and if you’re into your wine there’s loads of (all-Italian) bottles to choose from. I had the Pasta Rustica and my wife the Stroganoff and both thoroughly enjoyed. Great atmosphere as always and a pianist playing. Worth the journey.

Went here for my 50th birthday and had a lovely table in the conservatory. Wednesday night and it was really buzzing which when you consider the slightly out of the way location is a real testament to the reputation the Italian Orchard has built up over the years. Fully justified in my view too as the menus offer loads of interesting choices and if wine’s your thing they have a great selection of Italian wines to choose from. There was a pianist playing too which just adds to the ambience. Highly recommended.

We visited the Italian Orchard for a meal for myself and my husband in January 2015 the meal was excellent food and service. So we went again and took two friends in February, good food good service. March we went to my sister in laws 60th. And I have booked a table for 15 people in May 2015 as its my husband 70th. Looking forward to the service and the good food. I would highly recommend the Italian Orchard.

Absolute marvellous atmosphere, could not be better. Excellent food comparable when we used to go cruising on the Q E 2.
