Sweet Olives in North West Leicestershire

When booking the table at the restaurant in the hotel I advised I wanted to use my meerkat meals, unfortunately I wasn't advised on the phone then that I couldn't use that on the date I had booked for nor was I advised that they would be using a limited menu. Upon arriving at the hotel we were shown to our table quickly and had a choice of 2 tables. Unfortunately we weren't advised we needed to go to the bar to order drink and food so we waited a while until we realised there was no table service. We ordered our food and drinks then waited. The starters came out 45 mins after we arrived and we ate those up as they were very tasty. The mains followed quickly but unfortunately they were not up to the standard you would expect for the price you are paying. I ordered a med rare steak that came med/well I didn't eat this as I really don't like any steak that is cooked past medium. The only meal that was fine was a child's chicken nuggets and chips. The Mackrell that was ordered was nice and not dry but the rice it came with was the type you pop in the microwave for two minutes. Once again not what you would expect for the prices of the meals. Any time we went to the bar to order more drinks or ask for more sauces, no one was there at all. The staff seemed to have disappeared. Once I raised the issues the staff were happy to take the steak off the bill as I hadn't eaten it at all. The manager seemed happy to help and the wait staff were apologetic. I understand times are hard at the moment and I would usually account for this but there was only one other table in the entire restaurant so more care could/should have been given. The staff were happy to help and very friendly but we won't be going back.

Lovely home cooked food, nicely presented and best of all delicious 😋. The full menu is available from 4.30, which is a bonus for people that do not like eating too late.

The hotel is clean warm and comfortable, perhaps a lick of paint is needed here and there. The one thing that makes this hotel stand out from the crowd, is it staff from the ladies in house keeping to the girls that run the bar and reception all are so friendly and nothing is to much trouble. I will be back see you the El.

this was not a good meal this time - very very disappointing Service from table staff was very good but food was dreadful and lacked imaginationFood was not good and took ages to bring to table depite having been agreed the order weeks ago a real shame compared to last visit. Lunch was stodgy and unappetising

Mi colega y yo estuvimos aquí para comer algo después de un largo viaje en coche, ya que están trabajando en la zona. El arranque fue bueno, pero la cadera de cordero era horrible. Seco, soso, insípido patatas congeladas verduras y arrugado. El camarero era muy incómoda y no podía responder cualquier pregunta que tenía sobre el menú, no sabía qué estaban en proyecto, sidras no sabía qué la tarta del día es cuando los estados unidos menú en preguntar a nuestro servidor para la tarta del día. Muy caro para lo que te dan con la cadera de cordero, afortunadamente estábamos allí con una tarjeta de gusto por el 50% de descuento. Evitar como la peste

Sweet olives is a consistently delightful restaurant and the hotel bar is the same. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the food is fresh and of great quality. Me and mum were served tonight by a lovely waiter (I think his name was Gavin) and he couldn't do enough to help us. We will be back soon, thanks again!

I had a lovely meal while at the hotel. It was above average for a hotel meal. Steak was tasty and cooked well, I requested some changes to the meal which was no trouble. Menu is extensive and there are good vegetarian choices. This was a nice change from the usual rubbish you get at hotels.

Very enjoyable evening lovely food beautifully cooked and superb service. Highly recommended to anyone who likes Mediterranean food.

Very friendly place, my French husband asked the waitress a question she couldn't answer so she got the chef to come and chat to him. If a Frenchman is happy with his dinner the food is pretty good!

Even better than some supposedly fine dining places I've been to. Service impeccable and food superb.

I visited here with my husband as we live locally and had seen the menu online and it seemed reasonable. It's a fairly small restaurant and there was only 1 other table occupied (although it was a thursday night). However we were told there was a 30 minute wait for food. I guess the kitchen must serve other parts of the hotel as well. We were happy to wait though and the food was tasty with really good portion sizes. I had a pizza and my husband had pasta, and he had to help me with my pizza as it was very filling! The service was very good and the waiter was attentive. Prices were good and we will be back to try it again soon.

Visited sweet olives with friends after they had been a few months back! Good service, well it kind of had to be as we were the only ones in the restaurant on a Saturday evening at 7:30 surprisingly! A huge choice of gluten free food which was lovely! Everyone's starter was gorgeous & majority of mains were......just a little disappointed with mine both times it came out but it was sorted by the staff! Would visit again, especially with the amount of choice being gluten free!

My husband, my toddler, my parents and their 2 friends and I had dinner here and wasn't disappointed. The food was lovely and the service was great. The waitress was very polite and helpful. Would eat there again. Good vege options too which is awesome!
