The food and cocktails were delicious, but what made this evening so special were the staff (our waitress was particularly fabulous, so wish I'd got her name) and the overall atmosphere. Gorgeous seating, lovely furniture, a variety of areas to eat, drink and socialise. The history of the building and pictures on the wall were a great talking point. The ability to play the piano, just made it! We will be back. Thanks so much :-)

Visited the Orator after a really good experience last year but alas we were all disappointed. The Turkey meal was much better the previous year, the whole table was forced to have the set menu when the previous visit only one of us had the festive meal. The waitress did not explain that actually the two course option wasn't available on a Friday night so we were all made to desserts too. The Turkey was the only part of the meal we enjoyed, the Coley option looked poor and apparently was not nice. We were seated right in front of the kitchen, whilst we were there three separate incidents of dropping large pans and glassware happened not making it a pleasant experience. It's a real shame as a lovely building and we all loved 2023 so unfortunately won't be returning next year.

Hi Nicole, I am sorry that you did not enjoy your visit to The Orator. The festive menu did state it was 3 courses, but this should have been confirmed by your waitress too. We hope that you will visit us again for a more enyoyable experience. Best wishes, The Orator team

Our little team gathering was lovely, food was fantastic and the place is always exquisite but although staff are attentive and helpful when they come to the table it is quite hard to get their attention and obviously paying the bill and leaving is always a challenge - especially when you are tired at the end of the night. Otherwise a lovely place to eat and celebrate Christmas.

The cocktails were very nice, and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Although, there was a lot of confusion when we ordered as some of our table requested starters for mains and the waiter had to return 3 times to clarify what was what and the food still came out incorrectly. The food was ok, a lot of what was on the menu wasn’t actually what came out to the table. An example being the menu stated focaccia bread and we got sour dough instead, the menu stated goats cheese and Gazpacho (a cold tomato soup) and we got sliced tomato’s with blue cheese. There were also some random combinations like the gnocchi which came drowning in a lemon curd soup… The mains were nice, I had a burger which was a standard yummy beef burger. Can’t really go wrong. I will add, the food took 2 hours to get to the table. The place had a nice atmosphere, with a guitar player throughout the evening keeping us entertained while we waited. We did feel a bit peed off when the bill came with the service charge added as we had so many issues throughout the night, but decided to pay it as the staff were doing their best and it seemed to be more of a kitchen error than an error of their own. Overall, I wouldn’t come back and I wouldn’t recommend others to go. With a few tweaks to the menu I think the place has potential.
