The Olive Tree in Northumberland

Tasty mediteranian food and traditional Sunday roast good mix for all ages. Friendly, small place best to book especially for groups.

I have been here 3 times in the past couple months and every time the food, atmosphere and service has been amazing. Especially the food!!

Food was 10/10 service was exceptional would highly to anyone 👍

We have visited twice in a short space of time and both times the food has been the best we’ve had for a long time! The garlic chicken pizza is amazing! We’ve had both the chicken risotto and mushroom risotto and what can I say absolutely beautiful! We went to a well known restaurant in Morpeth last week and we both said The Olive Tree was way more tastier! We will be back soon with the family and I highly recommend the Olive tree when people are looking for recommendations for a nice meal. Food, atmosphere and staff 10/10!

What a tremendous little find! The food was superb! The service (one young man) was perfect! Lovely decor, nice big tables... I really wish I'd taken photos of our food... or the empty plates which told a bigger story! 100% recommended this gorgeous little restaurant!

For the second time in a row no solouvaki and no mythos. You can't be a greek restaurant without the basics. Only 1 waitress. Not good enough. It's a pity because this used to be a good restaurant. Either a change is needed or you will lose your trade. By the way my Husband wrote this, not myself as he felt it was a bit of a let down. I personally enjoyed what I ate though!

Really good lunch for two. We shared potato skins as a starter, I had the chicken risotto, my wife had carbonara. Food was excellent, fresh tasting, great portions, nicely presented. This place deserves to be rammed busy, so get in while you can! We’re offering 20% off as a promotion week. TBH I felt it was great value even without that incentive.

Sunday dinner was ok, although the pork was very fatty, but the desert was poor. The apple crumble was chunks of hard ball shaped lumps and custard looked like it had been scraped from the bottom of a pan, and there was no where near enough of it.

Surprisingly great find. What a warm and welcoming restaurant and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Took the grandsons (11& 12yrs) out for tea. Both loved the food especially the king prawns starters. One had lasagne which he said was great and the other chicken gyros, I had steak. They are planning their next visit.

Visited with friends and a family member 6 months ago. The food was awful and overpriced. It didn’t taste or look Greek at all, especially Stufato was lacking umami.

A lovely little hidden gem. Food was outstanding, friendly staff and a really beautiful interior. We will defo be back.

8 of us ate here and everyone’s meal was delicious. One of the nicest meals out we’ve had for a while. Food was very fresh, and good sized portions. Staff were very friendly. Very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back.

We have often had food here and in the past it could be a little hit and miss but last night we tried the date night steak menu again and it was outstanding! Special offer with 10% off usual price of £45 the quality of the food this time was exceptional and great value. Plenty of options in sauces and sides but we chose Steak, pepper sauce triple cooked chips mushrooms, tomato , salad garlic chilli king prawns and beer battered onion rings . There is a new chef at the helm now who is enthusiastic and passionate and you can see the difference . We really need to support restaurants like this in blyth so visit again now and you won’t be disappointed. I even tried the chefs home made strawberry cheesecake - amazing!! As usual the service was outstanding . Great people , very committed to building the business. We will be back . 5 stars !!

Had a fabulous evening for our mams 80th birthday. From booking for a large party, we couldnt fault the interaction with pre orders and rearranging the booking due to the dreaded chicken pox. The food was amazing, the service was great, we kept the very helpful bar/waiting staff busy and we will definitely be back. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!! 10/10 🙂

Lovely place to eat. Good variety menu. Starters were extremely good. As was the dessert. Mains were okay. Lots on the menu we would like to try so will go back. Service was excellent.

We were there for my wife’s 60th the food was absolutely fantastic

Lunch time ....but no lunch time special. No one in yet if you try to book a table online there is never any available. Menu at Caboose was a lot better.

Great food, great service, lovely venue and really good value too. Keep your money local and give it a go

Absolutely fabulous Bruschetta -and lovely main as in as well . Waitress lovely . Service prompt. Lois immaculate. What’s not to like?

Lovely staff, venue and food. If you use the ladies toilets you can hear the staff in the kitchen swearing ....maybe they're a little stressed but hide it well front of house

After seeing a post on facebook of how much extra support yous need we immediately booked a table a week ago for tomorrow night. Today a week later we got a phone call to say they can’t accommodate our booking as they are fully booked. We were really looking forward to bringing our friend from Scotland as it was one of our favourite places in Blyth not that we have much choice.We used to pop in for lunch during the day or when we had friends visit Blyth we would always choose Olive tree for our evening meal. My issue is that they left it a full week before deciding to call us and tell us they can no longer accommodate us? I find it very unprofessional and hard to believe this restaurant has been fully booked for a week. No offer of a table at a different time either which we probably could have done.

Average food, peppercorn sauce tasted like custard, dirty glasses, drinks served like in the pub, no trays used, the best from mixed grill meal were chips , pork cooked day before , chicken dry , rubbery steak . Tasteless and lack of salt, Hi, 26/4/2024 few hours ago

Nice atmosphere but only 1 waiter for all the restaurant. Food was good and cost acceptable.

Great food and service. I've eaten breakfasts and lunches here and have always been spot on

Amazing service and food, as always.

Simply Fabulous - everything is, food, service, atmosphere. Always well looked after, wonderful food and gorgeous surroundings. Recommended without hesitation 👍🏻

Came here today for Sunday Lunch, I had booked a table for 3pm and arrived at ten too. Quickly seated with a choice of tables and we're given menus to browse. After about 15 minutes I asked if we could place our order, to a waitress passing. I ordered a starter from the Sunday Lunch menu, my husband from the main menu, a coke and a coffee. Drinks were brought over quickly and we waited for our food, and waited, and waited. Just under a hour after placing our orders, with no offer of any other drinks the starters came, they were very well presented and tasty. I did say we were about to leave when the starters were served and the waitress didn't comment or ask if we wanted another drink, our food was placed down and she walked away. Our starter plates were cleared by a young girl who looked tired and said it had been one of those days. A young gent came over and apologised for the wait and asked if we would like a drink and we said yes. He explained it had indeed been one of those days and that a hour before had to be fixing the ladies toilets. Our main came at about 4.40, just under 2 hours from sitting down and unfortunately was not worth the wait. I had ordered the mixed meat, with chicken, it came with pork, the lamb was mostly fat and the been tough. The veg was so hard, I even asked the waitress to try to cut it and she couldn't. The Yorkshire pud was cold and they forgot to put the mash on the plate, it was brought when asked for. The meal was not charged, or ate and although the staff were lovely I wouldn't be rushing back as the meal was so poor and it was not busy. My husband had the sirloin steak and it was cooked as required and his meal was fine, if not memorable, hence the 3 stars. I heard the staff apologise to a number of tables so I know I was not the only table waiting over a hour for a meal.

Great pizza came yesterday first time in ages pizza was so nice pasta was spot on great service

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, arrived at 6.00 pm only to find one waiter trying to serve 15 people plus the six in our party, not a good start. We were totally ignored for the first half hour before he decided to ask what we wanted to eat. We asked if he could turn down the music which was loud, this he did but was increased again shortly after and we forced to listen to ………….. for the rest of the evening. THE MEALS we ordered five starters which eventually arrived which were very good. Then the main courses arrived, out of six meals only two were acceptable, mine which was a steak was so tough and stringy it was inedible. When we commented on the poor quality of the four meals the waiter was totally uninterested. COMMENT This was my second visit, the first was with friends and was brilliant which is why I took family with me this time on my recommendation, I had to apologise for the terrible attitude of the waiter and the rubbish food. It will be a long time until we visit again and looking at previous reviews it appears the owners do not care.

First time here but not the last, amazing service, amazing food. The lasagne was the best I've ever had.

The staff here are amazing. Second visit as first time was amazing. Sad to say food today 10th March was poor, I had no veg apart from sugar snap peas, Yorkshire puddings were rock hard, i got the lamb which was bit dry, maybe i got the last portion the music was so loud we were having to shout to have a conversation. Disappointed

After reading the reviews we booked for4 for Sunday Lunch 25/2/2024. Well the meal didn't live up to expectations. Starter (potato skins) okay desserts where nice. But the Roast Beef dinner disappointing, they where cold, roast potato where frozen ones and the parsnip under cooked, Yorkshire pudding burnt, I was the only one with roasted carrot and they where burnt, no body had the same vegetables, my plate had leeks as a vegetable. Leeks on a Sunday lunch in my opion is a no no. And the plates where swimming in cold gravy. Sorry to write such a negative review and wont be returning.

Myself, my daughter and granddaughter ate here…….the best Italian food we’ve tasted and was amazed by the price would highly recommend, we’ll be back

Just been for breakfast, it was delicious 😋

Lovely place to eat with excellent staff and delicious food and cocktails

Husband and I came for Anniversary meal and it was amazing food and service. Will definitely recommend and return

We had a large group of 25 people from Blyth Kayak Club, which the Olive Tree catered for with no problems. The food and service were great and everyone had a great night. Would highly recommend

Edit: As asked by the company to explain my review. My review was when it was called La Casa BUT not the original good la casa. It was under the new management the current management that runs the new name The Olive Tree. Hospital isn't just what you serve on the plate. We went from consistent regulars to never again. The same week the new management posted on Facebook about taking over la casa but "everything remaining the same" they declined to use a gift voucher to purchased the week before with the owner not even coming over to discuss the issue. The waitress dealt with it (she was great always has/had been). He Tried passing it over later saying it's a new business yaddayaddayadda but you can't say it stays the same, with the same name and refuse a gift voucher with the name on. Wasn't even the voucher that's the issue to be fair I paid in cash, made sure the waitress got the tip and tipped her then left. It was the integrity of the situation. Refusal of a £70 voucher cost the company a lot more in repeat business than it did me

Where to start the service and food were exceptional didn't feel pushed but server was friendly and helpful. To food was great quality and well cooked as well as a generous size.we will definitely be going back.a year later and it's just as good food and service with a lot more People there . Still a lovely evening will carry on returning.

I love it here, definitely one of my go to’s. Fantastic Friday date steak night. Beautiful Sunday lunch and recently just tried their breakfast. Couldn’t fault it.

Terrible meal, did not resemble what I ordered. Could make better myself, very disappointing

We had a lovely Christmas day lunch. All of the food was perfect. The two male servers were rushed off there feet bit it didn't affect service. They were excellent. Loved the gravy.

First time we have been and we will be back. The 4 us really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and loads of it. the staff were lovely but bless them, they were rushed off their feet and kept apologising for the wait, but it was fine. We had drinks, starters and mains and had to bring some pizza home as there was so much, very reasonably priced. Such a lovely restaurant we will be back soon. Thank you x

Excellent food,service and very reasonable prices. Sunday lunch was very tasty.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Brilliant place. Staff are amazing. Sunday lunch. Wow. 1 course £10. 2 course £11. 3 course £ 14. Food is perfectly cooked. Not wheelchair accessible, other than that. Brilliant.

Food just warm Beef over cooked. Very tough Almost onky 2 table spoons of custard for large bowl apple crumble. Took far to long to get plates taken and asked if we wanted sweet. I had to ask for this. No one asked the whole time there if everything was ok . Waiter who brought the bill was very friendly. Serving girl was not Shame poor service on sunday lunch as we have eaten evening meals before and very good. Unlikely to go again. .

Not very impressed with Chefs signature dish. Chicken was dry, pancetta wrap or whatever it was,too crispy and overcooked,salad leaves too oily. All in all not good.

Went last night, 4x people with starter's, main's and multiple drinks was well priced at £130, staff are great, atmosphere is great, food is amazing, we are all looking forward to going back.

I booked for early evening meal 6.30. Waited over 45 minutes then waitress said the kitchen was backed up with a long wait on food. This was before we even.ordered. We waited a total of 90 minutes before being served our food which was bland. I had a pizza which loterally had no taste! We received no apology for the delay and at no point did anyone ask if our food was OK even when we asked for the bill. I certainly will not recommend nor return. Shame because it is decorated very nicely and located in a really good spot locally.

Great value Sunday lunch, 2 courses £11

Lovely restaurant food was delicious and atmosphere was very friendly excellent night. As last time food excellent waitress brilliant remembered us from last time very impressed and she was lovely. X

We visited on a Wednesday evening, was busier than We expected, nice decor and atmosphere. The food was good, I had the mozzerella salad, fresh and tasty, Mrs D had brushcetta and it was delicious. I had a mixed grill main, was ok, but said fillet steak on menu, but it was not fillet served. The mac'n'cheese had cinamon in which was awful. Mrs D had chicken Gyros which was nicely cooked but served with tatziki pasted on the flatbread and chicken dumped on top, would have preferred them seperate with Tatziki in a put so she could decide how much she fancied. Draft lager (Poretti?) Was delicious. The biggest letdown of the evening was the service. There was a new girl who was polite and friendly, but the girl training her was ignoring her and chatting to another table, we waited (listening to her conversation about her apprenticeship/college dillemma) for 15 minutes for her to show the new girl how to pour lager, then as we were eating our meal she returned to the same table leaving an older couple waiting another 12 minutes to pay their bill and leave. All in all, we would say the olive tree is worth a visit. Perhaps the new girl will be trained now, and it will be better to visit the next time. I will update this review next visit.

Dissatisfied with the steak, no feed back from the staff, otherwise food was lovely, waitress needs more training 😞

Friendly staff. Delicious food. Beautiful surroundings. Great variety of wines, beers & spirits. Value for money.

Food mediocre, cocktails were rubbish... service ridiculously slow

This place is almost faultless. The food was amazing as always, the service impeccable, you could not have better staff. I have criticisms in spite of thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere and would recommend it to anyone in or around Blyth. They are: 1. Have more than 2 serving staff. They did a wonderful job but in a full restaurant serving Sunday dinners they went above and beyond. I've worked in the service industry and they were none stop, these people deserve THE BEST pay for the amount of work they did. The restaurant is lucky to have two of the best staff in the industry. 2. Christmas lights in June. It didn't take away from the venue, but once I noticed the snow and green and red projections on the ceiling it did feel odd. Especially given the greenery around the beams seem to be pine garlands. But the whole meal went without a hitch. I miss Caboose and some tweeks could really take this from a great restaurant to an exceptional one. Rooting for you guys <3

An absolutely amazing meal great service and great value for money. Cocktails are delicious too! Definitely pay a visit!

Amazing food and service every time we go. Great value for money.

This was a birthday celebration. A very enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price (Early Bird Menu). The staff were superb, attentive, nothing was too much trouble & there was a surprise treat for the Birthday Boy. I would happily recommend this as a place to eat.

Service was very slow even for a Saturday night,Starters were good but 2 out of 3 Chicken parmo's were burnt on the bottoms and don't even get me started about the chicken pizza definitely wasn't chicken breast. Definitely won't be back... Never had any issues at sister restaurant Caboose even when we parked at Ridley park.

Service is excellent, food good overall but my kleftico was a bit disappointing, more like Sunday roast lamb, a bit fatty and chewy in parts, rather than slow cooked marinaded lamb which should melt in the mouth Rest of the families food was good as were starters. Would return as service is excellent. I'll just avoid the lamb next time.

Food good , wine prices disgraceful

Food was lovely. I'd like to go back when it's a little busier to get a bit more atmosphere... But either way... We will be back

3 of us ate there Thursday night, starters were fresh wine was ok, but 2 of the main courses were dreadful. We ordered Lamb Kleftiko which so dry and tough we couldn’t eat it and we sent it back ( the waitress knew before we said a word what the problem was going to be !) We reordered our mains, this time it was Tuscan Beef, which was tender enough but two pieces of casserole meat wasn’t really worth having and I did leave there hungry! The only saving grace was the lovely waitress , she was so nice. Would I recommend the place or go back - No

My brother and I went to The Olive Tree for the first time last night. To say it was fantastic would be an understatement. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Our every need was catered for. It was evident that all staff members that we were served by really liked their job and were happy to be there and help. The food was served in a timely manner and there was plenty of time between courses. The food was hot, delicious and went down a treat. The portion sizes were lovely. But the pleasantry started before we even arrived. We had our table reserved for 6pm and we’re running late. I contacted The Olive Tree and asked if it would be possible to hold are reservation for 15 minutes and it was not a problem. Nothing was too much trouble here. I would and will be going back again. Well Done to you all. You have created something very special for Blyth!

First time visit with wife. Food was so lovely. Staff were amazing and friendly. The prices are brilliant. Definitely going back.

Lovely restaurant very friendly and food delicious.

Loved it! Food excellent and staff super friendly. Can't wait to return, thank you.

Great food,set menu was good value too. Very good all round and will return.Staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Visited here on Saturday, 4 of us. The service could not have been better from our server and the cocktails were amazing. However, the food was a major let down. One of our party sent theirs back. It was truly awful, and filled up on sandwiches once home. Our server apologised and took the food away, she was lovely, but no one else came to ask what was wrong. None of us will be going back

Went on Saturday the garlic mushroom starter was really nice let down by slow service and chicken thigh/ drumstick meat on pizza tasted horrible.

We went today for Sunday lunch. It was fabulous, hot, tasty and plenty of it. The staff were lovely too. Would highly recommend it. 😋👍

I had the lamb which was superb, but don't normally eat red meat, a fish dish would of been nice but still enjoyed what I had

amazing food but even better service, we're sad about the caboose closing but we're glad this space is open

Disappointing. Expected more due to being a restaurant with the same people who ran Caboose. Food was mediocre, smelled damp on entry and no atmosphere. Wouldn't return unfortunately.

Pleasantly surprised to find this outstanding restaurant in Blyth. We visited tonight for the first time and we cannot recommend it enough. The staff, service and food were excellent, particularly Jess who looked after us this evening, a friendly and professional young lady who is very efficient and obviously enjoys her work and being part of the team. The food was excellent, huge portions and it was piping hot. I’m just gutted I didn’t have room for a sweet. Reasonable prices, spotlessly clean, family friendly - we most definitely will be back!

Midweek dinner date. Service was outstanding with a pleasant waitress. Food was very nice. Only issue was a bit quick between courses.

Great food and service, defnitely recommend.

Really impressed. They've got everything spot-on: the decor, lighting and background music creates a relaxing atmosphere; the staff are professional, courteous and friendly and the food is excellent. Best halloumi I've tasted for a long time!

We loved it, food was excellent as was our waitress. Love how the place is done out too, will certainly be returning 😊

Love it love it love it. Never been. Bet it's great

Second time trying The Olive Free and just can't fault it, food and service on both our visits has been lovely, hopefully that continues and word gets out about this place.

Food too salty. Atmosphere a bit frosty due to lack of heating.

We came for a meal on Saturday evening, the service was outstanding however the restaurant was Baltic. My starter and main were fantastic however the dessert was very disappointing! I had tiramisu and none of it was coffee soaked and I’m pretty sure it had fondant icing on it, the portion was smaller than my index finger and you couldn’t taste anything that was on the plate other than the cheap chocolate sauce it was drenched in! I think the dessert cost £6.50 or £7 and I’d love to know how they can justify that price.

Food and service excellent, and very good value. Shame there weren't many in for Sunday lunch. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous meal and great service. Quiet night but weather was poor.

Excellent service and food will defo be going back there again

Lovely place very attentive staff couldn't help enough food was lovely a shame my first to choices on the menu weren't available but I did understand new management and sorting out the new menu

I visited the restaurant for the first time on 5.8.2022, and have to say that I was very impressed. The staff were very friendly, the service was prompt and the food was lovely. We'll definitely be back and have no hesitation to recommend this restaurant. Excellent value for money 😁

A hidden gem of a restaurant. Excellent food and service. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food, Greek and Italian options. Good selection of wines. Service was spot on. Antonio was so friendly. Will definitely visit again xxx

visited this restaurant for the first time sun 26-6-22 for a party of 8 booked by my partner restaurant looked nice and we were the only people present the waitresses were young and seemed inexperienced but the drinks arrived as did the starters the portions were small but fine thats where everything started to go downhill rapidly mains arrived well 3 did a while later 2 more the remaining 3 all ordered the same dish which came 1 at a time about 10 minutes later and the wrong dish we had all ordered pollo dishes but there was no chicken just 4 prawns on a bed of rice we were told by the waitress the dish didnt come with chips or veg when the menu clearly stated it did the dish was taken away about 15 minutes later the correct dish was brought but only 2 when 3 was ordered i pointed this out and was told the chef would cook it straight away by this time everyone ws finished their meal so i told the waitress not to bother i think it was abit cheeky to charge full price for such shabby service but we will never set foot in the place again and then to top it off was blanked by the waitress on the way out thankyou la casa for ruining my birthday meal

What a nightmare, party of eight for a birthday meal and we were the only eight in the restaurant, starters and first round of drinks all came out fine, however the main was a total disaster meals missing and wrong orders given, the person who’s birthday it was ended out without a meal, think twice then think again about going, would definitely not recommend this place to anyone

I have visited this place quite a few times over the past few years and never had any problems. HOWEVER it was my partners birthday on Sunday 26.6.2022 . I booked a table for 8 of us family and friends ordered drinks starters and mains.Drinks and starters not a problem when it came to the main meals 2 of the meals were wrong and 1 meal didn't come at all the rest of the meals all came out at different times the meal that didn't come was for my partner. The service was absolutely terrible the two young girls that took the orders did not have a cluethey were doing .everyone had ate their meals the chef was going to start cooking told them not to bother . I will never go back to this place again and never recommend this place

I have visited this place several times and I have to say last night was a nightmare, order's were wrong food was not good at all. I can understand if the place was packed but there was only 8 of us and another 2, there was no excuse for bad service and bad attitude. Definitely will not be going back.

Really nice food and friendly service. Excellent value happy hour, great value for money

Food was absolutely delicious and very affordable. The staff were super friendly and kind. Will definitely be going back!!

Very good food attentive staff a d reasonably priced
