Lovely restaurant for a coffee up to an event meal.It has a great outside seating area which really catches the sun! If you want to eat make sure you book as it is busy and popular. Staff are friendly and helpful. Decent space between table and food selection of drinks and cocktails. You can also do some enjoyable shopping while your there. I had fish and chips,scored an 8/10,on my batter scale! The person I was while had prawn tacos which were very much enjoyed.

We went on a Saturday evening. The place was very busy and service was on the slow side but as we were with friends and not in a hurry the quality of the food easily made up for it

The Fig & Olive is our new regular breakfast spot. Always happy with my Veggie breakfast (leave off the eggs) pots of tea and a coffee to finish. My opinion only but the Veggie breakfast offering is more interesting than a lot of places as they offer halloumi and potato with onions and peppers, I’m not a fan of a lot of vegetarian sausage alternatives so it suits my taste. Quality and atmosphere is good, service is friendly and accommodating. Booked in for the Irish folk night so will be trying the evening menu.

Saturday 22nd Feb. Lovely location and outstanding food which I highly recommend.There was one negative though, the service was not great. The two mature members of staff(one I think was the restaurant manager) were very good, both attentive and on the game. The three younger girls hanging around the till not so. We waited some time for our order to be taken, and when my wife walked to the till to ask if we could now make our order she was told with attitude by one of the three" yea alright then I'll be over in a bit" That was the only blight on our visit.Still excellent food though and well worth a visit for that.The food court staff were very welcoming and chatty, so excellent service on that side of the house!

I have had a chat with them and also called to to make sure they are dog friendly. They said yes! Then we came over and they said no! How can a place like this can’t be dog friendly?! I’m really sad as I came from far away then they didn’t let us in. I believe we are living in the UK and most people have dogs. It’s so strange they some places like this one is not dog friendly.

The Fig and Olive is a beautiful restaurant perfectly suited to various party sizes and great for a special occasion. The menu is diverse if relatively small. All the food that came out was of high quality and tasted delicious. The service was perhaps a little slow but not unattentive. The restaurant was a touch cold, two people in my group sat with their coats on for the duration of our stay.

Always had a great experience at the fig. The farm shop on site is very nice and the restaurant has consistently delivered tasty food. When we have friends over we always make a trip over as the aesthetic is warm, inviting and little rustic (if you're into that thing) alongside a bankable great meal.

Julien Prudhomme . 2025-02-04

We booked for Sunday lunch after a recommendation, but sadly, it didn’t live up to expectations. The roast beef provided was extremely thin and of poor quality, only 2 slices that looked like it was from a pre sliced catering pack. The meat covered only 2 roast potatoes, however, the mixed vegetables were very tasty. We decided to go for an additional side of cauliflower cheese, which was a little disappointing too, with poor flavour and no nicely grilled cheese top………..and at £6, a little steep for the size of the portion. Equally disappointing was the reaction of a staff member when we advised her of our dissatisfaction. When paying (as we weren’t checked on at any point before this), we told the waitress what we were unhappy with regarding our meal, and sadly no apology was forthcoming, and our comment felt dismissed. We may have dined near the end of the days service, but its a very sad inditement on an establishment that can’t serve its last diners of the day with the same level of service and courtesy as its first.

We went for Sunday lunch and unfortunately the food was served luke warm although well presented. The service was really slow and we had to chase for menus and service.

Just Outstanding! We booked a table for 3 last night. We knew Chros Keys Piano was there & asked for a table near the piano. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. Great welcome, friendly staff. The food was ourstanding - we had steak pot pie which was just divine, pork belly & the roast turkey. All meals were so delicious. Great atmosphere with Chris playing the piano & all the restaurant singing happy birthday to a customer - what a treat for her. The one negative I have is the chairs - they're so uncomfortable. I dont understand why they have really comfortable faux leather chairs in the bar area but small wooden seats in the restaurant, they really are uncomfortable. Cannot wait to return - enjoyed the live music.

The menu has a great selection, the staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was really lovely. Coffees arrived promptly and the food shortly afterwards, perfect.

After a recommendation, we went and tried the breakfast. Simple order of 2 full brekkies and 2 teas. Having read the mixed reviews, we nearly cancelled but in the end, we turned up. Once you are on the grounds, there are no signs for the Fig and Olive even once you step inside the building. We found it. got seated. It's nice in there. Lovely feel to it and we felt comfortable in there and was an impressive start. Food arrived. Looked good. Took pics as you are legally supposed to in 2024. The wife didn't want her tomato and black pud. Don't worry...I had them. Food did arrive very quickly so cant imagine it was all cooked to order. We both enjoyed the breks immensely and everything was cooked well. I had scrambled eggs and will have them on my next visit but they were a little weird. Mushrooms were cold. A full English at this price is something that should be perfect and it almost was. The sourdough was lovely as was the butter that came with it. The wife needed more butter. We will definitely return and they have just gained two new possible regular customers. However, we will wait and see as many customers have left mixed reviews about when they have returned. A few replies to some of the reviews would also give the impression that they are actually bothered about customers. Will we return? Yes Will we recommend it? Yes

My wife and I had breakfast here yesterday as part of her birthday celebrations. The food was terrible, the bacon was uncooked and tepid (we took it home for the dog) the black pudding was just cold (dog got that as well). I ordered two fried eggs which were over cooked and my wife ordered poached eggs with hers, they were like golf balls and tasted very of vinegar. Anyway enough about the poor food. The coffee was good as were the staff who were very attentive albeit they were useless when I complained about things. We really like this place but it is the second time we have had a bad experience so I guess we won't be visiting again. All in all £50+ wasted on a breakfast. We could have got a better breakfast at the McDonalds down the road at least it would have been warm. Now I know they may well say they are short of staff, which is no excuse! I am fed up hearing it! Equally they may It may not be short handed and the kitchen staff are just incompetent either way it's not a good advert for a place that WAS previously so good. Anyway try harder you aren't a roadside caravan! People will only tolerate rubbish service for so long!

The afternoon tea was disappointing compared to 18 months ago. The same group attended this time as previously. The scone was very small and not as many desserts. Portion sizes noticeably smaller and not worth the money. We didn't even need a doggy bag ! We compared photos of the 2 visits ,a considerable difference. One party asked not to have the brioche bun ,but no alternative was offered.

Food: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 1 Subject: Disappointing Service Experience at Fig & Olive We returned to Fig & Olive for our second visit with high expectations, only to leave deeply disappointed due to the substandard service we received. Unfortunately, certain members of the Fig & Olive team demonstrated a level of service that is simply not acceptable in a customer-facing role. While there were some positives—namely, the quality and flavor of the food and desserts (with the exception of the cheesecake, which I would not recommend)—these were overshadowed by the numerous service failures that occurred throughout our visit. Despite our group consisting of only 5 adults and 2 children, we were forced to wait an unacceptable 90 minutes for our food to arrive. When we inquired about the delay, the waitress promised to check on our order but failed to follow through or update us. The eventual arrival of our food did little to improve the situation. The waitress who brought our meals gave the distinct impression that she did not want to be there. She neglected to ask if we needed any condiments, and when we requested them, it took asking twice before they were delivered—only to be unceremoniously dumped at one end of the table. Throughout our meal, no one checked to see if everything was satisfactory, and after finishing our mains, we waited an additional 20 minutes before anyone came to ask if we would like dessert. When some of our party did order dessert, we experienced another long wait, again without any follow-up to ensure we were satisfied. The final disappointment came when we expressed our concerns to a team member who identified themselves as part of the management. The response was underwhelming and failed to instill any confidence that the issues we raised would be addressed. The entire experience highlighted the ineffectiveness of the team. Regrettably, based on this experience, I can no longer recommend Fig & Olive and will not be returning.

Not offered sauces, vinegar had to stop a waiter and ask. Good fish and chips. Disappointing gammon with no veg apart from some lettuce. Over priced pudding, a tart described as apple crumble for £9. Enjoyed atmosphere but food not really in keeping with what the venue is trying to portray, Not supporting local suppliers so a missed opportunity.

Starter of chorizo scotch egg was amazing and sea bass main was also of a high standard. Service and staff were attentive and atmosphere and surroundings really warm and cosy. My only criticism was that we had to remind the staff that the mussels came with bread, we then had a tiny piece of toast served up on a plate. Also, for my taste, I found the salmon teriyaki to be almost unbearably sweet (like maple syrup). Overall would go again but maybe order a different main.

I’ve been before for breakfast which was lovely however we returned yesterday with a group of 12 for my sisters birthday. The staff were lovely, very attentive although the drinks were very slow to the table after they’d taken our drinks order. Overall everyone was happy with the starters and mains however my starter The Fig and Parmaham Salad arrived with no fig. The mozzarella were the cheap mini mozzarella balls you get in a bag. After asking the waiter where are my figs he returned with a bowl of cold and looking old figs which I had to then put on myself no real apology. The salad was heavily oiled but on the whole tasted ok. Unfortunately for me the mains let it down I chose the Monkfish and king Prawn curry. The aesthetics were good however there was no real sauce to it which is a shame as this curry on the menu is £30. Me and my sister the birthday girl both had the same. We asked for some more sauce which they were very accommodating and brought 1 small pot of sauce out which the birthday girl had first so I asked for another hence the 2 curry’s and they said it’s all gone. Not the end of the world, upon eating the one king prawn with head and tail had no flavour some prawns were dry some were nice and the monkfish was very nice just not really much of it. The rice was dry or just steamed and not sticky as promised. They were kind enough to remove the 2 meals off the bill however after all the time wasted there was 2 people that left without eating the meals they’d intended to eat when dining out. A real shame as this place is an enjoyable place to dine.

While visiting Tamworth, I noticed this restaurant had great reviews, so I decided to give it a try, and it truly exceeded my expectations! The restaurant's décor is stylish and comfortable, and dining outdoors on such a beautiful day was a real treat. Sunday is all about roast, so I ordered the roast beef and crispy pork belly—both were excellent! I swear it’s the best Yorkshire pudding I’ve ever had. I requested the dry aged sirloin beef to be on the pink side, and it was incredibly tender with just the right amount of fat, making it unforgettable. The crispy pork belly, with its crunchy skin and succulent layer of fat, was a guilty pleasure! Their gravy is, without a doubt, the best I’ve tasted at any restaurant. After the meal, I explored their shop, which has a lovely selection of home goods, and their farm shop, which includes a butcher and a bakery.

We called here to look for a piece for our mantle and got caught up in the whole place. It is as a whole very well presented. Right from the nice carpark to the cash desk. It's a pleasure to wander around. An excellent stock of plants well presented well cared for. After a walk around the outside we stopped in the restaurant for a meal. Instant service and not too long a wait. Both meals were very enjoyable and not as expensive as expected for a restaurant as nice as this with a choice of indoor and outdoor seating. There are a few very good shops here and we called in to the food hall. There is a large selection of food from meats to veg with everything in between. You can spend a lot of time here which we did. We even found what we came for. Definitely worth a visit.

To be honest,unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations i had been given from friends who had said it's a great venue. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We went for afternoon tea. The food was well presented in its parrot cage! The sandwiches were a little disappointing. The pastries, however, we're pretty good. Unlimited tea or coffee. The price was reasonable at £25per head. Although it's marketed at being high end, it's still a cafe at a garden centre, albeit a posh one!!

I had been wanting to visit here for a long time and finally was able to go. I visited with my husband 18 month son and mother in law. Our table was booked a week or 2 in advance, we advised we would need a high chair. We were promptly seated and we asked if we could have a high chair, the server went away presumably to get one. They did not return to the table. When our drink and food order was taken we again asked for a high chair. We were told yes ill get one. This person again did not return until serving our food. I believe my husband approached someone again and asked for a chair and was told there was a large party in that were using the chairs so they were struggling to find one. My son was running about the restaurant as an 18 month old would but fortunately we were seated right by the outside and he was able to have a bit of space to play. Our food arrived and there was still no high chair. I was unable to enjoy my food or eat it when it was hot as I had to have my son on my lap so he could eat his stag bol. This ruined the meal for me. My son didn't want to stay sat in my lap so I was then taking it in turns with my husband to go outside with our son. From what I had of my meal it was delicious it's just a shame we couldn't all eat together and were up and down throughout the visit. Also the food was cold by time of eating. We did on one occasion have a staff member approach the table and apologise about the lack of chair. My husband and Mil were near finishing their food when a high chair appeared. Whilst I was outside with our son a server asked how our food was. My husband told the server we were unable to enjoy it due to our son not being able to be seated properly. We just received a verbal apology. We had coffee after and were not given any sugar. My husband approached the coffee bar and asked for sugar and the man making our drinks seemed really annoyed. He briefly looked up and grimaced and then pointed to another server. I understand he was busy but customer service? I know it might seem easy to say 'control your son to sit at a table' but it's a lot easier said than done for some toddlers. I was left disappointed by the experience and seemed like an inconvenience. But I highly rate the food.

My son was running about the restaurant as an 18 month old would but fortunately we were seated right by the outside and he was able to have a bit of space to play. Our food arrived and there was still no high chair. I was unable to enjoy my food or eat it when it was hot as I had to have my son on my lap so he could eat his stag bol. This ruined the meal for me. My son didn't want to stay sat in my lap so I was then taking it in turns with my husband to go outside with our son. From what I had of my meal it was delicious it's just a shame we couldn't all eat together and were up and down throughout the visit. Also the food was cold by time of eating. We did on one occasion have a staff member approach the table and apologise about the lack of chair. My husband and Mil were near finishing their food when a high chair appeared. Whilst I was outside with our son a server asked how our food was. My husband told the server we were unable to enjoy it due to our son not being able to be seated properly. We just received a verbal apology. We had coffee after and were not given any sugar. My husband approached the coffee bar and asked for sugar and the man making our drinks seemed really annoyed. He briefly looked up and grimaced and then pointed to another server. I understand he was busy but customer service? I know it might seem easy to say 'control your son to sit at a table' but it's a lot easier said than done for some toddlers. I was left disappointed by the experience and seemed like an inconvenience. But I highly rate the food.

One of the best Sunday roasts over had. The food was fresh, delicious and flavoursome twined with a great selection of drinks and great service. Definitely recommend!

Don’t bother going here unless you’re ‘a regular’ My friend booked us a table about a month before we were due to have lunch here. When we arrived we were offered a table in the ‘walk way’. As we haven’t seen each other for a while, we wanted a quiet place to have a chat so we asked to be moved to a more sheltered spot in the restaurant. Despite the restaurant being fairly empty, we were told all the other tables had already been booked by their ‘regular customers’. After much searching by the waiter, we were eventually offered another table in an appropriate spot in the nearly empty restaurant.When we asked how to become a member of this ‘exclusive’ ‘ regular customer’ club, as there were no visible numbers assigned to the tables, we were told the regular customers knew the table number but the waiter who attended us was not allowed to give these out presumably because they were ‘top secret’ We were there for over an hour and most of the tables in the restaurant remained vacant during that time! Needless to say we felt discriminated against as we were not ‘regulars’ hence it was ok to offer us a sub-standard table in restaurant. The food was mediocre at best and there was a long gap between finishing our starters and being brought our mains. I don’t thnk I’ll be returning to this restaurant again as only patrons who are ‘regular’ are treated properly and made to feel welcome.

Small garden centre, plants reasonably priced and a good selection of garden pots. The shop stocks good quality home ware, including wooden toys and a selection of soft toys and children's books. The cafe has a good selection of cakes and sandwiches and has a small area to sit in. The delicatessen and butchers have a good variety of products. There is also a fresh orange machine which was delicious. The restaurant looked inviting, definitely something I'd like to go back and try.

Great food, atmosphere and great experience of private dining. Outstanding service. Booked two events for birthdays and both were perfect and everyone loved it.

Outstanding experience from start to finish, superb produce, expertly cooked and beautifully presented. Fantastic wines, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks served by supremely knowledgeable and skilled team members. You never feel like a burden, you are made to feel welcomed and genuinely appreciated by the hosts This is not a run of the mill destination, The Fig and Olive is an absolute treasure. Go and pay them a visit, you will not be disappointed in any way. Fabulous dishes and with vegetarian choices that would feel rightfully at home on a starred restaurant menu. (Don't believe me? Then try that nut roast, it's sublime!) If you are feeling hungry and brave then the cheese board is for you, the brownie is seriously not for the feint hearted either but every pudding is of equal quality here. Visited many times and each and every single occasion the whole team knock it out the park.

Went for breakfast as a treat with the family, and sat in the garden which is beautiful as well as the whole place, however the food was bland, tasteless and tasted and looked like it had been sat there for over a day, I mentioned this to a waitress and she wasn’t bothered at all poor service from her. I would recommend visiting the place due to the lovely surroundings however the food needs to improve to meet the high prices.

We went here for lunch with friends and really enjoyed our meals. The soup was delicious and plenty of it. Our friends shared a club sandwich, as it was too large for one.

Lovely little country pub selling traditional pub food, and pork pies and scotch eggs from the renowned local butchers Frank Parkers. Good range of traditional ales.

Have been before and the food has always been lovely. We both ordered steak, onion rings and chips. Onion rings and chips on both meals were soggy. Tasted like they had been kept on a warming plate for a while. I asked for a well done steak. More fool me! It was burnt and rock hard. Two meals , two starters and two cokes £72. Really disappointed with the meal this time around. So much so, we won’t go again. It’s a real shame, because the food has previously been amazing.

We went for a 50th birthday party. The food, the service, the singer, the karaoke......everything was excellent. What a fantastic night

A lovely warm welcome, and then a shop that seems to go on and on, never knowing what next you will see on the bulging shelves - pure book heaven! Finish by visiting the tea room for a great, frothy coffee and slice of moist cake. Now that's what you call a day out.
