The Italian Orchard

Set in Broughton, Preston – The Italian Orchard serves authentic Italian food made with the finest imported ingredients and fresh local produce, delivered with warm, family-led hospitality.

A Family Story, Four Decades in the Making

Founded by Ivan and Louise Bragagnini more than 40 years ago, The Italian Orchard has always been rooted in togetherness. What began as an unexpected opportunity — discovering a closed restaurant while searching for a larger family home — became a place shaped by tradition, celebration, and shared memories. Today, family remains central to everything we do, from the way we welcome guests to the way we serve around the table.

Fresh Menus, Thoughtful Wines, Always Evolving

Ivan’s cooking is led by curiosity and seasonality, with new dishes introduced regularly to keep every visit feeling fresh. Wine is equally important: decades of tasting and sourcing directly from Italy have shaped a list focused on character, balance, and smaller producers. It’s an experience designed to bring people together — to gather, celebrate, reconnect, and leave feeling at home.
