The Olive Tree in Woking

always good tasting food here. Not too expensive. Helpful and friendly staff with a good country atmosphere. Nice beer available. The roast dinners are good.

Another great takeaway tonight. The chicken starter was even crispier this week. Yum Yum!!

Really enjoyed our Grandads/Dads wake at The Olive Tree. Great pub. Food was excellent, great choices. Friendly staff. We will return, as Grandad/Dad had his stag do 63 years ago at The Olive Tree!

We discovered this pub about 2 years ago now. It's a lovely traditional pub and great food. The staff are friendly and always helpful. So much so that we asked if we could have my other half 50th there. It was a Sunday roast with cheese and biscuits, but I asked for a banquet style. They did not disappoint. Everyone (even the fussy ones..and you always get them) could not fault the food. They gave us the whole restaurant area as we had 34 people. Everything was beyond expectations. So thank you Olive Tree. See you soon

Excellent food, drink and service. Only suggestion is that the main dining area needs improving/refurb

Delicious food. Fantastic service. Awesome atmosphere.

Great experience really good food friendly staff highly recommend very nice independent pub

Great food in a great atmosphere, stunning fish and chips, waitresses were quick and efficient and so nice. Will definitely be back

We were placed in a secluded area where the staff forgot about us. We ordered a sharing seafood platter and we had to send the waitress back to get plates for us to eat the food off and then tartar sauce which should’ve been on the platter and then a knife as there was only two forks and one knife in the tankard . We waited for ages for someone to come and take the plates away and give us the desert menu and in the end, I went up to the bar and asked for a dessert menu. After another wait we were given dessert menus and the plates were cleared away. We had another long wait for someone to come and take our order and to clean the dirty table ( which never happened). Finally I went up to the bar and paid the bill because I decided I didn’t have another hour to waste waiting for the staff to appear. They said that there was only two of them and they were serving inside and outside. There was only seven cars in the car park and one table of guests outside. When I went to the bar to ask for the bill and pay so that we could leave there were four other guests , from two tables that followed my lead and did the same because of poor service. The seafood platter wasn’t that great.

Really enjoyed our meal at The Olive Tree. Nice pub with a lot of character. Food was excellent, great choice and all cooked perfectly. Loads of choice for gluten free which was a really bonus. Very friendly staff. Will absolutely return

All staff was very welcoming, and lovely hope you enjoyed your birthday cake Thank you for making my son feel so happy on his 18th xx

Lovely staff! It has Lucky Saint on tap which is great for those looking for a pint of non-alcoholic beers.

One of the best steaks I’ve eaten in many years. Cooked to absolute perfection. Pricey but worth every penny. The waitress was friendly and helped where she could but somewhat untrained. Overall I would definitely rate this establishment.

Early Friday lunchtime booking. The food was excellent, price agreeable and service spot on. Highly recommend.

I can’t comment on the atmosphere as we arrived early, mid week to a near empty pub. How we were able to sit in the garden and enjoy the birdsong and sunshine. Our food we was really tasty and good value. I had the Philly steak and it was one of the best I’ve eaten. The lady, Kathy, was lovely My friend enjoyed his veggie version of this too Lots of parking I’ve since been back twice and just as good. I recommend the Goan fish curry

Service was okay. Yorkshire puddings on the roast dinner were overdone though and were too hard / crispy. Our vegetarian diner was served a beef burger despite ordering a vegetarian burger. Everyone else's food was enjoyed by our party of 9.

Excellent venue and food for pub lunch with friends.

VERY slow service. If I want to leave a tip I will. So DO NOT put this on the bill at the end okay! OKAY? This is misrepresenting your pricing. It is. And also assumes the service was good. The staff were friendly but the service was EXTREMELY slow. So, if you want to add a service charge (which is wrong on so many levels) add staff to serve. I guess I will not get a reply as you only seem to reply to favoured reviewers. You need to listen to others here saying the service is way TOO SLOW. And this is the second time of going and both times - SLOW SERVICE. The food was lovely. Shame I will not be returning due to shortage of staff and being made to pay a tip for your slow service.

Enjoyed a good Sunday roast to celebrate Mother's Day. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the meal, we noticed that all the other tables were being offered a complimentary glass of bubbles for each of the Mums in the room. Unfortunately this hadn't been mentioned or offered to us when we arrived, so that left us feeling a bit overlooked!

We had a big party (60 guests) at the Olive Tree. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the party. Everyone really enjoyed the food and I really appreciated the effort made to provide vegan options. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. The communication whilst arranging everything was great. I would highly recommend the Olive Tree as a venue.

Enjoyed our Mother’s Day lunch here today, service was good and the roast lamb was lovely. Plentiful and great value for money. However I noticed some tables were getting complementary glass of fizz for the mums and we were not offered this nor was it mentioned which was a bit disappointing. However, I would return.

Faultless! Food was lovely, waitress was very friendly and we were seated in a nice quiet area with a lovely fireplace.

I always have bad luck when ordering a steak in a pub or restaurant, it's such an unknown product....But I can honestly say I had the very best quality serloin EVER , tender, juicy and tasty...I will be deffo going back soon.

We enjoyed spiced fish cakes, plant based burger and great chips for lunch today. Our first time here. The three waiting staff who looked after us were welcoming & attentive to just the right level. The chairs very comfortable (for a bad back). The decor could do with a lick of paint here and there but the important stuff is good. We'll be back 😋

Great village pud! Food is fantastic

Best sticky toffee pudding ever! Lovely place with an amazing atmosphere.

Excellent good value food, friendly and engaging staff,

New Year’s Day walk to the Olive Tree well worth it. Lovely food, especially the Goan Curry and the ribs. dog and kid friendly, can’t fault it

Always delightful...such wonderful, welcoming staff and delicious food!

Great selection of whisky! Tasty bar snacks and good selection of wines

Went there with my team for Christmas. Brilliant night out, everyone thought the food was great. It was an excellent evening.

I went to olive tree today with friends as always.come as trusted very well as staff very slow had put a very nosey people very loud as no manger in charge would spk to nosy customers as very loud as come pece and quite so I hope to se person in charge as he always shake my hand as not in the pub witch he spk nosey customers

Lovely pub with great food and large open fireplace

Great place for a pit stop. We have the philly steak sandwiches, which hit the spot. Lovely pub, glad I found it.

fantastic local venue with great crowd and service

Brilliant Traditional Sunday roast

Cold and hungry. Came for a birthday meal but still hadn't got our mains after over 90 minutes. Trying to keep a 3 year old entertained so left to eat at home. Staff were rude, although they did kindly remove the food from the bill we never got to eat... Freezing too (most diners were sat with coats on).

Lovely staff and good food, one or two things forgotten at first, it was quite amusing 😊

I'll start with the positive, the food was very nice. We had burgers, steak and a sandwich all of which were very well received. No faults. Sadly the rest slightly let it down, the service was very friendly, but also very slow, we were secluded away in the restaurant room and I found it easier to order at the bar rather than wait for someone to remember us. Then the room itself. It's dark, gloomy even on a wet day, and not very inviting. I was very jealous of the happy smiling people found by the bar and fire area, much more inviting. Sadly the restaurant bit, when it's just you is a bit solemn. If I couldn't get a table by the bar next time I would genuinely move onwards. But anyway back to the positive, the food was great.

A great place to have been able to watch the rugby world cup games. The staff were great service provided was just as good. very accomadateing to alot of south african veiwers.have not eaten there but ha e been told it is good grub.booking table via phone was easy.well worth a visit....

Great place for Sunday roast. The pub itself is really nice with a nice atmosphere. The only minor negative is that it was a bit cold inside (not too bad though). The staff were all brilliant, very helpful and quick to attend to requests. Would definitely come back again!

First impressions: Dirty sticky table, no salt or pepper on the table. Food: Waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for our roast. Small portion size, missing items on my plate. No parsnip or stuffing. Potatoes were over salted, with no seasoning on the rest of the vegetables. Service: No apology for the delay. Even after we approached one of the servers to ask how much longer our order would be. Overall: For close to £30 a head for a Sunday roast and a drink. This place is most definitely worth avoiding. A local pub that tried a little and failed a lot.

Usually very good but my last visit was awful. Understaffed and restaurant was busy - I get that - but with one exception, nobody made me feel welcome at all. No apologies of the wait, 'you can sit over there', dirty table, not given a menu .... neither managers nor waitresses could summon up a smile, most were disinterested, two of them had perfected a scowl - I was a nuisance. The only member of staff who gave good service - with a smile - was probably the youngest and least experienced. The bill told me she is called Freya. Avoid weekends - service during the week is usually very good.

Came here to watch the World cup rugby as A SA fan, proper beer well kept, fab menu and had some SA food on to make the visitors happy. Absolutely slammed it down with rain and marquee was getting flooded, landlady and staff in the rain with buckets clearing away the water. Absolute fantastic to see them jumping in. These folks care about their customers and their place. Cannot recommend enough.

Went to watch the rugby and had a really great time. Fantastic grub and we were really well looked after. Never been before but will definitely be back.

A group of us decided to watch the rugby game here and absolutely loved the entire place and therefore recommend it and will go there more often.

Brilliant pub. One of the very best. Great staff and exceptionally well run. Food is lovely. Nice variety of daily specials and homemade pub-classics. Good range of beers and spirits. Something for everyone.

Nice country pub with good service and food. Plenty of outdoor seating and in a very peaceful location. The location can also be a challenge, as there's limited transport options and most would need to drive. Luckily, there's plenty of parking but it does get full quite quickly. The service was very rushed when we visited, and there were only a few people trying their best, but were indeed rushed off their feet. Food was tasty and drinks were of average pricing. I'd return.

We dined at about 2.00 pm - the food was exceptional - with best fries ever tasted! Super ice cream. Very friendly service.

Have not eaten here, but looks good. Nice quiet area.

Excellent food and very friendly staff.. Nice atmosphere at the olive tree.

Nice place and nice food. Only gave it 4 stars for service as it was slow, but they did announce and apologise for being short staffed.

Great service. Was at a wedding and the whole place including the marquee needs a good clean.

Needs a good clean, especially the marquee

Absolutely gorgeous sandwich had for lunch here

The staff were excellent and very friendly, the food was fresh and tasted fantastic and they had a live singer.

The Sunday dinner was excellent!

The location is lovely. Our lunch was delicious & the waitress was excellent. Her name is Rosie. We had pea & coriander risotto.

The food was excellent and the staff were really helpful and friendly when we were here. It is a blit out of the way, but well worth a visit. We went on a Saturday night and it is worth noting there was a live singer. The singer was very talented, but it depends what sort of night you want as it is not a large pub. Would definitely revisit.

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Nice food. Terrific menu selection. Great service!

Very food food...nice atmosphere...quick service..

Absolutely fantastic 👏 gorgeous weather so very busy. Fresh food, massive portions. We had the fish platter to share, really lovely and huge. All food freshly cooked and really delicious.

Went to the quiz night on Monday. Great night, lots of fun with good people

I came here for my leaving party, the food was exceptional and the staff were attentive but not pushy, nothing was to much trouble for them. I had the steak for main course which was delicious and then cheesecake for dessert. I also discovered baby guiness, tia Maria on the bottom and baileys on the top in a shot glass, I love it. I will definitely be back.

Weeknight date night... the pub was quiet and the food was superb! The pie was huge and homemade, not an industrial frozen version. The plant-based burger was excellent. Chips were cut beautifully and crispy, not thick and uncooked in the middle. This place is a gem. Thoroughly recommended!

The rump steak was the best I have had for a long time.

Would have been 5* but service was a bit hit and miss ( they forgot part of our order)

Lovely pub with a great bar, delicious, reasonably-priced food and friendly, well-trained staff who make every visit an enjoyable time.

A homely pub with lovely food and even nicer staff/owners who can’t do enough for you, 100% recommend!

Driven past 100's of times finally popped in for drink a couple of weeks ago and then went back for lunch on Saturday, nice friendly pub - "BEST ONION RINGS" I have ever had and probably one of the best pub lunches I have had around Guildford for years - Highly Recommended

Absolutely delicious Saturday lunch in a lovely atmosphere. We chose this pub as it was perfectly located for family from Buckinghamshire and Surrey to meet in the middle - and so glad we came to this charming, pretty place. Initially we were a bit taken aback as there was a very large family group seated next to our table of four and we couldn't hear a thing and food service started slow. The noise level thankfully fell and when the food came - my goodness did our sentiments turn around. We all loved our meals which were obviously fresh and from specially chosen produce as the website states. I had the steak ciabatta which sounds like a simple option but was mouthwateringly delicious with generous amounts of steak, whilst at the other end of the scale the birthday boy had a beef fillet special and was absolutely raving about it for the rest of the day. Those with burgers were very happy too. We sat at the dining room on the side - the booths at the front of the pub looking out the windows look gorgeous and next time I come back (and I definitely plan to) I will ask to sit at one of those. Thank you for a lovely lunch and looking forward to our next meal here.

This is such a lovely pub and the food is superb. The bar area is dog friendly too, so perfect after a country ramble.

Stopped here for lunch whilst visiting our daughter at university. The pie was absolutely amazing, proper pie with a top and bottom served with plenty of rich gravy. My daughter had fish and chips, which was lovely too. We will definitely come back

Amazing food and great service!! Felt the prices were very fair and staff were all super helpful!! 6* would 100% recommend!! Thanks again!! Blue mini pothole guy💚

Great afternoon in the marquee watching The Seven Nations, good crowd and marvellous hospitality too. Will definitely be back soon.

The best cheese souffle we have ever eaten. Very cosy and warm place. High standard and homely atmosphere.

Delicious roast lamb and plenty choices of desserts, friendly staff, great service, highly recommend it.

Excellent pub, great food, incredible chips!Exceptional hospitality, highly recommend!

If you want a disappointing service then go to this pub. Had a number of poor experiences in the past but wanted to keep giving it another chance as it’s around the cornier. However, we recently visited for my mother in laws birthday but it was terrible. We had to repeatedly ask for the table to be cleared and remind the waitress of our drinks ordered. Then just today we ordered online for a pick up slot only to get there and they had not started the food order. They said their order app did not refresh so they weren’t aware….rubbish excuse. A lot of nicer pubs in the area with good service and good food, try them instead.

Great lunch, efficient and friendly staff. Good value.

Friendly and helpful staff, the food was reasonably priced

Amazing roast dinner. The pork was the star but the chicken was also delicious.

Food very good, though too long waite. Staff very good and friendly. Terric roast potatoes.

Great food, good service, wasn't too busy either.

Comfortable local pub, food generally good, nice Rioja on the wine list!

Lovely meal; stunning gin; lovely pork belly and dessert was lovely too. Step dad's 80th, a few days early, and he loved which was clearly the most important bit!!

My meal was a little disappointing this time. The pastry base of the mushroom dish was burnt and inedible and roast potatoes were hard. Very sad as on previous visit the food was excellent. One of those things!

Lovely pub, nice staff and good food. Dog friendly it ticks all the boxes. Highly recommend

Lunch for seven. Great food & they altered a main course for us. Service very good as well.

Traditional country pub, quite most of the time. Nice garden. Regular selection of beers. Particularly interesting and vary is the menu with some peculiar specials. Average prices for the beers, medium/high prices for the food. Young and friendly staff :)

Had a enjoyable lunch with friends. Good food. Service was good.

We had marque out the back for a 30th.staff and owners couldn't have done anymore to be accommodating. The roast was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 👏. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Had a wonderful dinner here. There were 9 of us all eating different meals and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. A nice selection of both meals and drinks to choose from. Alan was also very attentive to our table. Would definitely recommend this place.

Nigel goes out of his way.. We went there to watch the rugby.. And Nigel (owner) went out of his way to give us free biltong and made boerewors rolls just for us. The pub is really nice. Highly recommend

Just had lunch at the Olive Tree- there were 6 of us who had starters, mains & one desert. Really delicious- we were impressed & will all return. The staff were very friendly & professional. Special thanks to Ali the chef, Cathy & Ben 🙂

Excellent buffet lunch for the Salmon and Trout club

Brilliant food excellent service totally amazing definitely recommend

Highly recommend. Lovely pub and great food. 10 out of 10.

Dövizden dolayı bize pahalı gelmese her şeyi yerdim, o kadar güzel

We had a table booked on a bank holiday that they had failed to reserve and there were no where near enough staff. We left as we couldn't get served at the bar or get anywhere to sit. It looks nice but I don't think I will bother going back.
