I visited the olive well over a year ago. In between that time ,ive popped in during the week when it wasnt busy. A lady i knew ,only because she cleaned my flat,started working there .After she was sacked ,i still visited mostly during the week. My last visit and i mean my last visit. I was refused entry ,the reason anyone who knew her wasnt allowed back in Well i hope they ban all of the clientele.Totally pathetic way to run a business.

I think the place needs a revamp. The couches where I was sitting were very grubby and stained. The tables were dirty, as were the carpets. I think it will be a long while before I go back

Went to see saxophonist Jake Hanson and had a brilliant time. This guy is so talented and love all the songs he played. Live music is amazing especially with someone who knows their stuff and look forward to seeing him again ,other than that karaoke is not my cup of tea but the staff were very good and friendly.

My partners was getting her hair done down the road so thought I’d pop in while I wait and have coffee or a soft drink. After parking in the customer car park I was approached by the elderly owner/manager ranting and raving that I couldn’t park in the “customer” car park. I explained I was a customer but he was being ignorant and abusive so I headed to the parkville instead. No wonder the place was empty.

Please note that the photographs in this review show the old menu. Unfortunately, since The Junkyard has changed ownership, it has lost much of the charm and character that once made it a standout. The place isn’t just lacking in quality anymore. It’s the entire vibe, identity, and atmosphere that have taken a dive. Under the previous ownership, The Junkyard felt like a true gem. The owner’s genuine passion for craft beer and the unique menu helped create a space with a real sense of identity. One of the key aspects of that identity was the varied Crackbird chicken range, which has now been reduced to a single item on the menu. The new menu feels like a shadow of what it once was, confused and directionless, unsure whether it wants to be an Asian restaurant or a Western pub. To make matters worse, their website still shows the old menu, and there has been no update or acknowledgment of the changes. I can’t find any mention anywhere of The Junkyard having changed ownership, nor have I seen any indication that they intend to turn it into an Asian restaurant. This lack of transparency and communication from the new owners leads me to believe they are not interested in keeping customers informed or maintaining the vibe that made The Junkyard special. What made The Junkyard special, the character, the vibe, the overall experience, has been lost. Unfortunately, what The Junkyard once represented no longer exists.

Loved the Night Star under previous owners, not least because they were a nice family . This was my first time I have tried Night Star since new owners took over and pleased to say food was great. Fish my wife and mother-in-law had was perfect and generous and chips were lovely. I had black pudding which was also great, batter was just right and pudding was savoury and tasty. Daughter had a donner which was also great. Guy serving was also friendly and gave me a sample of the donner while I was waiting. Will definitely be back.
