The Olive Grove in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

the Olive Grove does the best breakfast every. Set just of the main A39 Truro/Falmouth road. My grandson and I love the breakfasts, such variety. He adores the bigger breakfast. I try to be good and have the normal English breakfast. Which is amazing as well. Its out go to place, as a family as well so in and out very often. Good parking, and a very friendly welcome. We have been eating here, for 17 years, and always come away happy. The breakfast menu is very long covering all tastes as well. The lunchtime menu extensive as well. Service is just great, with friendly staff and an open kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Well what can I say.We were celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary and wanted somewhere different to take our family.After looking around we chose The Olive Grove ,best decision we made. Cathy the owner was very helpful from the start ,prepared a menu for us with both adult and child choices for a 3 course meal.On the day the weather was against us ,very windy and pouring with rain.As we were in the Marquee, blankets had been provided for anyone who was feeling cold and we were given the choice of going into the bistro once people had started to leave and there was enough room to accommodate all 27 of us. The staff were very polite and friendly and Sophie was kept on her toes going to and fro with the meals and drinks orders.The food was delicious and there was plenty of it and if anyone wanted more they only had to ask.Desserts all made by Cathy were large portions and everyone enjoyed what they had chosen. We didn't want a traditional cake so we asked Cathy if she could do us up some cup cakes ,which she did.As we were all full from our lunch everyone took a cake home to have later and all have said how lovely they were.Thankyou Cathy,Sophie and the rest of the staff for making our anniversary special.

This is a lovely place with plenty of parking and they allow dogs, which was the thing that drew us there originally. However the friendly staff and good food was the thing that brought us back the subsequent two times. Very nice vegetarian cooked breakfast, in fact, one of the best I've had. Really good coffees too.

Not as good as it used to be. Ordered scrambled eggs which were a bit sloppy and dry bread with knobs of butter just plonked on the top

As a local, this place is a refreshing find with a pleasant ambience inside & out. However, having visited recently, I was very disappointed with the stingy portion size of the focaccia bread (not even a full slice) sprinkled with barely a handful of roasted veg and a few crumbs of feta which were hard to find. What could have been a great combination was spoiled by the obvious cost cutting exercise boarding on the ridiculous. At almost £11 I left feeling ripped off... and hungry. Be warned...if you order the smaller portion, it really will be SMALL

What a find. Just up from Cosawes Park where we were staying. We were having lunch with friends who live in Falmouth but who had not found this little gem. Excellent food and reasonable prices. The place was absolutely buzzing with a wonderful atmosphere and although we hadn’t booked they were able to accommodate us.

I went here yesterday afternoon for tea and cake with a friend. An impatient waitress was very abrupt with us, and frowned when I asked where she would like us to sit as we had stopped to look at the choice of cakes without following her first to a table. The cakes were not labelled with name or ingredients and the waitress made my friend feel very uncomfortable while she described what she wanted, the waitress giving the impression she didn't understand and making far too much of an issue about the order. Each time she brought the tea pots and cups to the table she didn't make eye contact or speak. When she came back with our cakes she just plonked mine in the middle of the table in an offhand way and walked off. A smile and pleasant word would have made the afternoon so much more enjoyable. This incident is unfortunate as we have both been happy with the food and service in the past.

Prompt polite service. Good selection of food on the menu. My only negative was that the cakes were not labeled as to what they were.

What a beautiful meal! Prawns perfectly cooked in garlic with lightly toasted bread and fresh salad with a lovely home made dressing - absolutely perfect! I think we were lucky to get a table as we hadn’t reserved. Friendly staff, open kitchen, nicely decorated cafe. Would definitely eat there again.

As usual, an absolute cracking meal at the Olive Grove The bistro offers superb breakfasts, great varied lunches, and one of the best cake / dessert selections in Cornwall. BUT, it also does special evenings. Last night was Tapas night. My word - so good! Home made nachos and guacomole. Pork meatballs which you just cannot get enough of! Our friends had prawns, squid, mackerel pate and pork cheeks. Everything was so fresh, so flavoursome. And did I mention the desserts?????? In truth, we have been there many times over the years - not once have we been disappointed. It is always great to go for lunch and check out the specials board. You just never know what you will be enjoying! :-) And never forget the Sunday Roasts - so much delicious veg - we always have the beef, which is always cooked to perfection - just sat here writing this the thought of the beef is making my mouth water. Also a shout out to the staff and Cathy. Fantastic team. We absolutely love the Olive Grove - highly recommended.

Great food, atmosphere brilliant and good choice beverage s. Good menu choice, be good if no dogs allowed over lunch period.

This cafe did not welcome solo guests. Abrupt service no offer of a menu or suggestion for a cake. Left without drinking my coffee as I felt so uncomfortable.

This place is so cute and lovely! The location is great (although parking can be a challenge) and the food was AMAZING. Such a wide range of options, everything was delicious and the cakes on offer were 👌👌👌

What can I say about this place, we always head here for breakfast however we decided to book for the Tapas evening and wasn't disappointed. Excellent selection and superbly cooked, the service was (as always) amazing with welcoming and attentive staff, great atmosphere, it's a real must,if you cannot make a Tapas evening at least head there for breakfast,you will not be disappointed, coffee and cakes are also amazing. Love this place, full credit to the whole team.

Had a lovely lunch in this nice cafe/bistro, which although on a main road is off the beaten track. Surprised to see how many people were dining. Prices reasonable £38 for 2 lunches. Plenty of parking

There are 4 of us in our little group of 'locals'. We often visit local establishments for lunch after our morning walks. When it warrants a review we will leave one on Tripadvisor. Good or bad. Just lately we have had to leave a number of bad reviews but not so with The Olive Grove. The staff were unbelievably friendly and provided superb service and the food was excellent. Both the main lunch and the desserts were of the highest standard. We do not care about the price of the meals as long as the service and food is of an acceptable standard and the Olive Grove's was way above this level. We will certainly be visiting again as often as we can. Many thanks 'guys'.

We popped in on the off chance of a table as we normally book in advance. we happened to be in the area and thought we would try. The staff were all very busy getting ready for the Sunday afternoon bookings. This did not affect our lovely welcome and fantastic freshly cooked food. really delightful tea as well.

We have been many times over the years under different ownership and it's always good, but this was the first time we felt compelled to leave a review as every thing is done well. We agree the Quiche is one of the best we have had, thick, tasty with crisp pastry. There was a good mix of flavoursome healthy choices and tasty and delicious filling meals. The cafe is well run and the staff quick and friendly and genuine, It was packed on a Saturday lunchtime, if it's this busy in winter it will be more busy in summer, though in summer there will be more outdoor seating, they still managed not to turn anyone away with skill of a experienced maitre D. The ambience was lovely with a nice buzz about the place and the mix of modern and upcycled vintage furniture adds to the charm. Well done

Really lovely place, fantastic staff who looked after our group of 10 with humour and thoughtfulness. Amazingly 90% of the food is gluten free which is such a great discovery. All the food is made on site by the chef - who by the way makes the best quiche I’ve ever had!

Live fairly local to this gem of a place and have eaten here many times including breakfast, brunch, lunch and one of their themed evenings. Been here as a couple, with family and friends. The food has always been great and freshly homemade. Varied menu, generous portions, very tasty and fairly priced. Great coffee. Also licensed so you can enjoy a wine, beer or something a little stronger. A great selection of local gins too. The kitchen is open plan so you can see the attention that goes into the menu. Staff are lovely. Front of a house is a delight and always makes me feel like at home and is a pleasure to talk to. Treat yourself to a homemade dessert/cake or ask for one to take away. You will not be disappointed. To top it off it’s dog friendly. Our two are usually treated to a couple of dog biscuits and a fuss. Really lovely decor too and supports local artists by selling their paintings. Can’t fault this wonderful eatery. Fab outdoor area for warmer weather as well.

Happy cafe with twinkly lights and upbeat atmosphere. Friendly efficient service from older waitress. Younger one seemed a bit confused as after being seated for lunch she told us that they were too busy to serve us lunch. Not sure where she got this idea as this was not the case and it was not that busy. Lunch was good,simple food cooked well. Would love to come here when they are serving tapas. Convenient venue with parking. We must come more often

Visited twice and really enjoyed a delicious cream tea. Very welcoming, well a lovely cafe, lots of great artwork

A large birthday party. Brilliantly organised. Wonderful food and exceptional service from the kind team working late made this a very special evening

Really disappointing visit this afternoon. Waited to be served as sign said. Totally ignored by young waitress even though she saw us. Older lady then asked what we were doing and I replied waiting to be seated. Obviously the wrong answer. When asked which cake was in the cabinet was shown a blackboard with 4 cakes on. Which didn't answer my question. Lady was really quite rude. Young waitress spilt drinks in saucers and used her fingers to get butter pieces out of tub to put on tea cake. Butter pieces had finger marks in it. Young waitress then dropped a huge tray of China and glass, showering the restaurant and us with glass pieces. No apology. Won't be returning .

At the time we were looking for somewhere for lunch their website was down and we nearly didn’t go there because of a lack of information. However we are very glad we did. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially regarding a gluten free need. Food was excellent - we had jacket potatoes with brie and chutney, and the frittata of the day. The room is very nicely decorated and there was a lovely cool breeze from the wide open doors to the patio, with outside seating.

Whilst on recent holiday in the Penryn area of Cornwall, we managed to grab a cancelation table for one of the Olive Grove’s occasional Tapa’s nights, on a Friday, which I gather they do occasionally. The selection/menu, quality of food, service, friendliness of staff and overall value for money was excellent, we had a great night and would recommend the experience to others. Very laid back, informal and lovely atmosphere. Thanks.

Enjoyed Sunday Lunch with a friend yesterday. Food and service very good in a Corvid safe environment. Would recommend a visit.

Have been here a few times, food always good and the ladies who serve are delightful ( 98% anyway!) A few other places could learn a lot from this place, good atmosphere too.

This is definitely my favourite restaurant for lunch around Truro. The food is amazing and cooked before your very eyes. Lovely staff who are always welcoming .... ginormous meringues are to die for!

Popped in for a late lunch with my partner after a recommendation from her Grandmother. We were both very pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff including their covid procedures. On arrival without booking we were advised there was a small wait for food, to us this was a positive note as it meant they were busy so we were more than happy to wait. The food was wholesome, filling and obviously made with good ingredients as the taste was great throughout. The lone chef operating out of a relatively small open kitchen did a cracking job and I will definitely recommend to family and friends of all ages to pop in.

Went for breakfast with three of my golf buddies. Have been before for the same, full english. Yet again, top notch . Lovely people, lovely food .

Great place for breakfast or lunch, food is fresh, wholesome and delivers on value , nothing on the menu disappoints . All staff (ladies) are friendly and accommodating really worth the short trip out of Falmouth. Recommended .

I knew from the phone call I had booking the table that we should have not gone. The lady who answered was unacomadating and rude. I asked if we could book a table outside and I was told only if it isn't raining, that was it. I also asked if there were any vegan option for breakfast and she told me no but they do do baked beans!On arrival we were shown to our tables by the same lady I spoke to on the phone. She was not wearing a mask when all the other staff were. We were shown a table inside when we asked to sit outside. It was quiet so we decide to stay inside. It was not raining. We helped ourselves to a menu and were quickly told off as she would now have to sterilise them. She then walked off and moaned about us to the neighbouring table. This was coming from a women who had no mask on, did not keep her social distance and we could smell what she had eater for breakfast on her breath she was so close. The tables in the restaurants were not spread out with 2m between them. We were uncomfortable with the whole situation and asked to sit outside. She was not best pleased with this because it was dangerous for her to walk over the timber decking which was apparently slippery outside. So we said no problem we will sit outside on the patio where there was no decking. The funny thing was the decking area was where everyone entered the restaurant so it obviously was safe for customers but not her. For the record it was not slippery, We picked up cutlery drinks and moved ourselves outside, with no offer of help.Once seated we were served by a different much nicer person (thankfully). Our food arrived and it was fine for my family other than mine. I had scrambled egg which was loaded with egg shell! Inedible! The new lady serving us was very apologetic and offered me a coffee on the house which was good service. My partner was also promised an egg and hash brown they missed off here original order but we never got it. It came to payment time and we were unfortunately greeted by the same lady as before. She made a joke about the scrambled egg having shell in it and informed me it was not included in the bill. There was no apology what so ever, no offer of a further refund or explanation to why I had shell in the food in the first place. We have been left worried about our health due to the blatant lack of covid-19 adherence and completely dumfounded by the rudest and utterly poor service by a particular member of staff. This used to be one of our favourite cafes to go to but we will never go there again. Be warned.

A lovely, friendly café with a wide range of excellent food. Prompt service. If you need a pit stop on the way to Helston, particularly if your wife likes quilt shops, this is the place for you

On the main road, Falmouth and Truro, just off a lay-by. Plenty of parking, although on a slope. Very clean spacious toilets. Seating indoors and out. Lovely menu including Sunday lunch. Even better service with a smile, nothing too much bother. Very good value for money. Well prepared food with care.Recommended.

We received a very warm welcome on a cold, wet day by friendly but professional staff. Food is very good vake, really tasty and generous portions. Recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

Stopped off for a coffee after seeing the sign and have to say what a find. Very friendly, beautifully set out inside and wonderful selection of cakes and food. We decided to have a cream tea and as you can see by the picture it was really good and it was very tasty Would definitely recommend if your in the area

On opening the door we were transported to an 'Oh yes moment' Christmas lights and decorations were still up and it's such a gorgeous place. Yippee I said and from then on our visit was total yippee. Attentive friendly service and scrummy food. We can't believe we have not visited before; we will certainly be back

The Grove as we call it is our go to place to eat when no one wants to cook? Or you want an ideal meal served in friendly surroundings. Menu not extensive but there is a daily board of specials. Never had a bad meal, adore their chilly! Food for all tastes.

Been going to the olive grove for a few years now weather it’s breakfast or lunch always excellent Nothings too much trouble dog friendly and child friendly

We spent our second Xmas Day lunch at "The Olive Grove" everything perfect food excellent including service The atnosphere & the Fab Xmas decor just added to everything being a perfect Xmas Day We have booked for next year too This little gem owned by Cathy & Scott just gets more popular year on year Thank you

Had an enjoyable lunch here, excellent food and value for money, staff friendly. Afterwards able to wander around the plants and shrubs in the nursery

Love this place. Great welcome. Amazing cake and super coffee. I tried the Earl Grey and Blueberry cake and it was very yummy. Well behaved dogs allowed in too.

Popped in for a coffee on a wet November afternoon. Lovely collection of cakes and great coffee and tea. Well worth a visit. Lunch menu looked great, so will return.

We have eaten here several times and are never disappointed. We ring up normally and the will accomadate us. As individuals and as the TVR club. Staff always helpful. Great food and reasonable prices

A party of 12 of us had booked for 1 p.m. and we were amazed to find the restaurant packed. We all decided that it was a lovely place for lunch, with delicious food delivered on time and with very friendly staff. Can't wait to go again!

My elderly uncle pops in here most Sundays just for a coffee, so while on holiday I joined him. Must say the coffee was good and the staff very pleasant. Unfortunately the garden Centre wasn’t open .

Visited on a Friday lunchtime. The place was packed. Friendly staff but seemed distracted. Ordered fishcakes with an egg - unfortunately it took 50 minutes to arrive on our table. Once arrived food was tasty, but on the smaller side and at bit lack lustre. Good coffee served.

Went here on a Monday lunchtime, beautiful gluten free fish and chips. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Other gluten free options too including cakes, would recommend.

We had the goats cheese panini with salad and coleslaw. Really tasty. Was going to have the bacon and brie but only eat free range! The bacon is from the EU and cut in UK so not happy that the animal standard of care would be good enough.

The last time I eat here was for a Roast....possibly the worst I have ever had but being optimistic by nature I thought they ought to be able to do a Cream Tea.......WRONG!

I can't believe it has taken so long to find a this little gem. I suppose it's one of those places that you always drive past without giving it a second thought and, to be honest, if a friend had not recommended the place I would probably never have made the effort to give it a go. Well, I'm glad I did.

Very beautiful settings lovely friendly staff and service

I regularly meet here with friends and family for breakfast or afternoon tea and have never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and courteous and the food is freshly prepared. There is outside seating which is great when the weather is good and it’s also dog friendly. They also serve a great cream tea!

Popped in on a Sunday lunch time for a bite to eat and a catch up with mum. Gorgeous setting, plenty of parking and easy to get to. The staff were ever so friendly as soon as we set foot in the door, making us feel very welcome and at home. Beautifully decorated with homegrown vegetables on display and lots of lovely pictures on the wall. Food - menu has a wide range of things which was good. Specials board provided. My mum and I both thoroughly enjoyed the food. I had camembert cheese and toasted bread, which chips on the side (I was very full!!) and my mum had a crab sandwich. One of the ladies made aware to mum that they didn't have a lot of crab meat left that day - mum still chose to have the sandwich. We ordered a coke and a lemonade. Would be nice to have ice and lemon in soft drinks to keep it cold. Overall, we had a delightful experience and would definitely come again. x

We popped in here before a hair appointment. We ordered two hot chocolates and they came out a few minutes later . They were super tasty and we plan to try out some vegan food options soon !

We phoned to ask whether there was anything on the menu that a friend who was vegetarian, with diabetes and been told to avoid carbs, could eat, and the chef suggested something specially made that sounded delicious and was. The other two of us had light, tasty lunches, the prices were fair and it was an attractive dining room with friendly service. We'll go again.

Lovely location, nice place and staff but terrible management, We went in for lunch on a Tuesday To be told on arrival there is no ham , so that was a quarter of the menu gone so we decided to opt for the cheese then when we went to order we were told no cheese. So that takes a further third of the menu out and leaves virtually nothing for my wife who is vegetarian And to and insult to injury some of the staff found this amusing

Lovely Food, Reasonable prices. Quiet friendly atmosphere.Good parking. Outside toilets. Never had a bad meal here. Everyone seems easy going and helpful. All the food very tempting. easy access from car. sort of semi countryside feel, not far from main road.Lovely selection of paintings on the walls for sale by local artists, these were tempting too. I Would go back again, I think this is a good thing to ask oneself.

Just went for a light snack Sunday lunchtime, very busy but managed to get a table. What a find... fabulous, we had a roast and a mackeral fishcakes dish and it was the best meal out that we've had in a long time and the prices were spot on. The Staff were very friendly and the service excellent. Many people were asking for the recipes.

A group of 8 of us went for tea/coffee/hot chocolate and cake. When we arrived, we saw the cakes we liked, but they asked us to go and sit down so they could take the order. They then got busy and forgot about us! Finally they did come with a desserts menu full of gluten free food. The cakes we'd seen at the start were not there for us. We chose from the menu and none of us really enjoyed the gluten free cakes. When they served us, they kept slamming the crockery and cutlery down as if we were not welcome. The waitress was not happy when serving us and at one point went out of the outside door and slammed it shut. We did not feel welcome, although it was 3 pm and they were not due to close until 4 pm. We will think again before returning.

I have been here a few times over the years, the service has always been slow but today it was ridiculous, won't be returning. The mature lady who eventually took our order was extremely rude. She asked what we wanted and as we started to give our order the phone rang and she answered it without the courtesy of an excuse me while I take the call, or asking if we minded if she answered it. She was rude to the person in the phone who was enquiring as to whether they had a table for Mothering Sunday. When she hung up she didn't bother to apologise to us for being ignored and asked us again what we wanted, by this time we had changed our minds and decided against cakes and just asked for a coffee and hot chocolate, we gave our order and she didn't even listen to us and asked again what we wanted, then got the hot chocolate but asked again what the other drink was...how difficult is it to remember an Americano? We then paid and went to our table. 23 minutes later we got our drinks, which were only tepid. Will never return.

Plenty of variety of food and drink available here, near Truro. Part of a small crafty area with a gardening area. The Ladies were in the quilt shop enjoying talking about sowing etc while us lads had a lovely coffee. Fully recommend.

A brilliant, welcoming, and laid back little place with an arty and homely vibe and delicious, wholesome home-type cooking on offer. I had a flavoursome cauliflower bake with two thick slices of bread that had been dipped in quality olive oil and fresh garlic. So, sooo good!!

We went to Olive Grove for my husbands birthday lunch- lovely atmosphere good freshly home cooked food-- cooked per order so little wait but not any problem with that time to chat with Cathy owner and such good friendly service too -- it was quite busy as usual but we book our table well inadvance- We would recommend either breakfast- lunch- or afternoon cream teas or high tea with cake - scones- biscuits & pot of tea which we will do in the summer -- just a shame it closes at 4pm so no evening meals

This was the second time I’d been to this little cafe at garden centre. The food is all homemade and cooked to order, which isn’t always usual these days. I had chicken curry and my friend battered fish and chips. It was all beautiful and hot, with good service. You need to book.

Visited several times and find it a nice place for lunch and it's possible to have a good chat.

We had a beautiful cream tea here today 19/1/19 myself my mum and my two children... What a lovely experience greeted by lovely friendly staff and the cream tea was delightful... this was my second visit and both have been exceptional. 5* food 👌😊

We were on our way to a Christening and were a bit early, so stopped here for coffees. It wasn’t very busy and we were greeted by two very pleasant ladies, who told us we could sit anywhere we wanted. We were served quickly with our drinks and cake and the place was nice and clean. The toilets were outside in a wooden hut, but were very clean and there was also one with baby changing. Hopefully we will return when next in the area.....perhaps for a hot meal!

We have been a couple of times for lunch after looking around the Garden centre & a few small cabins that house nick knacks etc that are at the entrance to the garden centre which are at the side of the Olive Grove Bistro We were not disappointed lovely fresh food too all cooked individually as needed so a little time to wait but well worth it very good portions too & a good selection on the menu for etiher Brealfast Lunch or afternnoon tea... Shame it closes at 4pm . but we are going there for our Xmas Day Lunch...

Welcomed and seated by a knowledgable interesting, mature lady who loves to help. We both had one of their specials of the day, Home made chicken Liver Pate with chunky toast and it was fabulous. Costs only £5.95 and very good value. Coffees were also good. A lovely venue.

We booked into the olive grove bistro for a quick Sunday lunch. We had a very friendly welcome and all in all the food was good and reasonably priced. The only criticism I would make was that the service was a bit slow.

Decided to visit the Olive for a lunchtime treat. We entered the restaurant to be greeted by an elderly lady who was quite short with us, asking if we had booked or not... We was then told to head to the table she flapped her arms too down the restaurant. We sat down and waited for service and waited and waited, we did discuss that perhaps we should actually move onto somewhere else, which I wish we had done, but after watching this same serving lady take an order from a woman who had come into the restaurant after us and sat in the lounge area, who had been served and was well half way through her soup and bread before we managed to see another member of staff who was clearing tables, to take our order...

Always welcomed by the staff and lovely food, sometimes there's a wait if there busy but that's expected when the food is prepared from fresh.

We stopped off at the garden centre not planning to eat here, but we’re glad we did. I had the stuffed mushrooms & my husband had the chilli with wedges. I certainly didn’t feel the portion was too small or the meal was overpriced. We both had more than enough to eat and my husband was especially impressed with the wedges.

On holiday in the Truro/Falmouth area with friends and we heard about this gem of a lunchtime café. It's a little difficult to find. You have to keep your eyes open to find it, but once there it is well worth it.

We visited The Olive Grove today and I ordered the Cream cheese stuffed mushrooms with salad. This is priced at just under £9, however when it arrived there was a very small salad and 2 small mushrooms!! The salad consisted of lettuce, a couple of pieces of beetroot, roughly 3 halved cherry tomatoes, a little red cabbage and a few pieces of red onion with a balsamic drizzle!! Although it was tasty it was totally overpriced! It’s such a shame as this place used to be good value and fairly priced for generous portions.

We had a great Sunday lunch a month ago lovely place to eat very pretty & clean inside

I had been meaning to call in at The Olive Grove Bistro for quite some time. Finally a friend and I stopped there for lunch recently. We both decided to try the "fish finger sandwich". Forget what you might think of regarding fish fingers - this was three large portions of fish inside a batter that was so tasty. The side salad and chips were also excellent. We always have to have a dessert whenever we have lunch and this was also exceptional. Prices were very reasonable and the staff were very friendly.

A friend and I visited here for lunch on a rainy Saturday. We both opted for one of the specials; a Cajun spiced chicken burger. I was surprised at how much choice there was for lunch and all of it looked lovely! Our chicken burgers were delicious and a very good size! We weren’t rushed or bothered by the staff much at all which I like, especially as by the time we left, it had become very busy!

Popped in for a coffee on a Sunday morning . Opens at 0900 so look forward to coming again for a breakfast stop. Good coffee and very friendly staff. Look forward to coming back and trying the beautiful menu

Smashing breakfast. I very much enjoyed the addition of a potato cake. And a very nice slice of Bakewell tart. All with a lovely outside space to sit

My friend and I enjoyed tea and cake in a very nice setting. A very pleasant outside sitting area overlooking the garden centre.

Lovely little place with excellent food. The wait for food was well worth it, you could tell everything cooked fresh and the portions were very generous.

Oh dear as Sunday lunch (roast) this one had a lot to be desired!.....watery gravy,poorly cooked vegetables (one inedible),pre sliced meat, which is a shame because their cream teas are excellent and very well presented.As my teacher used to say.....could do better!

Visited today for lunch, been several times and still as good as the last visit. Delicious lunch, excellent service from friendly, helpful staff. The menu is varied and great choice of main meals and desserts. Lovely peaceful setting, chic décor and good cleanliness. Overall a very pleasant experience.

I was absolutely gob smacked to see the amount of choice on the menu for gluten free. At least half the menu was gluten free and they must have had a choice of about 10 desserts also gluten free. Food was fabulous, service was brilliant and its a really quaint place to sit and eat. Highly recommended :)

A very friendly , easy place to call in to. Can take a little longer than usual when very busy,,, but this is not fast food! Cakes to die for!!!!

Went in for breakfast today, took 45 mins to get 1 cooked breakfast and 1 sausage sandwich. Not busy and waited so long. Commented when paying that the food was nice but service was slow and this comment was not taken well. The lady argued to say that food was cooked to order and was somewhat rude. Sorry that left a bad taste, will not be back

We went for Sunday lunch and had pre-ordered roast chicken but what we had appeared to be a poorly microwaved chicken breast which was tough and chewy, together with hard roast potatoes. We did mention a couple of times to the staff who just said "sorry" and walked away.

This is not our first visit to the Olive Tree....however we were again disappointed by the indifference shown to us. We asked if there was non-chocolate alternative to the biscuit served with our coffee, as I am allergic to chocolate..we were told very abruptly.. No.

Popped in for lunch with our two dogs and were made to feel very welcome. Nice food and friendly service, will definitely be back.

Lovely staff and friendly - pretty cafe too with quirky decor. Spotlessly clean. However, very overpriced. My hubby wanted English breakfast which was nearly a tenner but you get 1 slice of bacon and 1 sausage! Bacon sarny was nearly a fiver and overpriced for...

Has lunch with a friend. Have driven past loads, wish I had tried it earlier !! Lovely friendly staff and the food was beautifully fresh, very reasonable!

Service was very good, friendly and efficient. Sandwiches were ok if not a little bland and had way too much mayo in the tuna. Coffee is very nice.

Sorry for the delay but I wanted to thank all the team at The Olive Grove for making one of our longest serving team member's last Xmas party very special. The heads of dept met the boss prior to the evening and we ran through...

All I can say was that we felt really let down by the quality and shortcomings on what we were expecting to be a lovely family Christmas Day meal for 12 of us.

A pre Christmas luncheon with friends, in a comfortable friendly atmosphere. All freshly cooked to all our requirements. Cater for gluten free and vegetarian needs as well. Great for a full meal, a coffee and mouthwatering cakes, or just a snack.

Visited for lunch with my mum. I really enjoy going to this place. We’ve been here a few times now, and have always found it to be really lovely. Mum ordered the fish cakes, they checked with us what mum’s appetite is like, so they could ensure that they could adjust the portion size to meet her requirements. I had the butternut squash, coconut and chilli soup, which was fantastic. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It is a very popular spot and very quickly filled up for lunch. They are also open in the evening and I would certainly recommend booking if you wish to guarantee a table. Will definitely be back again!

Having had a poor Sunday lunch before we thought we’d try again in the week for lunch. The waiting time...
