The Olive Tree in North Norfolk

We have just been for our first Sunday Lunch at the Olive Tree Bistro, wow!, what a feast. Lovely warm welcome, nice comfortable surroundings, excellent freshly cooked food. I had the Turkey and my Wife the Beef, came on a very hot plate with perfect Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, stuffing and gravy, plus lots of meat. Vegetables served separately in dish, 4 different veg plus cauliflower cheese and extra jug of gravy. We could not quite manage it all, just had a coffee afterwards. We came away feeling like we had eaten a very good well cooked meal. Definitely recommended and will return. Must add that all the Staff were lovely and welcoming.

Immaculate campsite overnight stop .The Bonus is there a great little pub & restaurant onsite .They do a great Sunday dinner to set you back on the road.Nice friendly owners , nothing was too much trouble .

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, CARING, ALL NEEDS WERE CATERED FOR, WE STAYED ON THE GROUNDS WITH OUR 2 SMALL DOGS 🐕, GROUNDS WERE WELL KEPT, CLEAN TIDY,AMENITIES WERE DAILY CLEANED, BEAUTIFUL & MODERN, PERFECT AS IM DISABLED OUTSTANDING BEER GARDENS 🍺 WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AS WE ARE HERE AGAIN THANKS BARRY MARK, SCOTT & SHARON, RALPH AND SUZZIE

We visited The Olive Tree for a midweek roast and it was amazing. There was a choice of meats, and it was so tender and delicious. Crispy roast potatoes and parsnip, season vegetables and the option of adding cauliflower cheese. There was an extra jug of gravy and sauces too. Follow that with a coffee and orange gateau with fruit compot and ice cream which was all included in the price, and a fabulous meal out was complete. Cannot fault anything about our food, and would highly recommend.

Great small site for camping and some food. The road noise isn’t an issue if you’re in a caravan, and it didn’t affect our 3 night stay.? Owner is straightforward and pleasant, food in the bistro was nice, and an issue with one of the dishes was quickly sorted, so no complaints. He’s trying hard here to make this work, and in a couple of years the site will be mature. I would come back any day.

We were staying a short walk from here at Jex Farmhouse B&B, and wanted somewhere to eat within walking distance so we could have a drink and not worry about driving, we booked in advance and we're glad we.did a.some.walkins had to be turned away. The menu has a couple of dishes covering each of the following cuisines, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Enlogsh, as well as a tapas/small plates menu. We had a couple of tapas between us followed by the 'Pastel de Pollo y Chorizo' (Chicken and chorizo pie with patatas bravas, cheese sauce, and salad). The food was absolutely delicious, very tatsy and nice and hot, the hosts were also very pleasent and friendly. We would happily visit again if in the area and sample.some.differnt tapas and other options in the menu. Very hearty portions and good value for money. Lynne & Stephen at Jex, said they reccomended the Olive Tree to their guests and state it is a big improvement on the 'Green Man' and somthing of benefit to the village.

A lovely Sunday lunch. Generous portions of veg. and delicious roasties! This was our second visit as we had been on the previous Friday evening and had the chicken gyros which was equally excellent.

My wife and I have just got back from a lovely 3 night stay we booked to stay in the camping pitch behind the restaurant , greeted by the landlord very friendly it’s family run and it shows attention to detail the pitch was well kept and toilet and shower block were immaculate , we had a lovely meal on Saturday night steak which were lovely and Sunday lunch which was to die for beautifully presented and cooked to perfection we are both fussy when it comes to food and this place we couldn’t fault staff friendly and attentive a gem of a place we will definitely recommend and we will be back ! Thanks for a lovely few days

So pleased that we tried the Olive Tree. Due to some inclement weather, we needed to find somewhere for dinner to celebrate my daughter’s 20th. They greeted us with a warm welcome and squeezed us all in and provided us with some excellent selections on the menu. So many pubs these days go for the obvious burger or fish n chips, but here we were open to choose Greek or Spanish options. Most of us went for Chicken Gyros, with one or two going for lasagne or the Steak, kidney and ale pie. No one was disappointed. Great big dinners and smiles all around, we will definitely return. Many thanks to our lovely host, Holly, who made every attempt to keep us topped up with drinks, condiments and fabulous suggestions from the menu. I’m told the Sunday lunch is magnificent too, so if you’re wondering where to go for a great meal when in North Norfolk, try the Olive Tree, you will be glad you did.

We stayed locally and tried one lunchtime. The lasagne was excellent. The owners were warm and friendly. We booked again for Sunday lunch and two other occasions. Each time we enjoyed delicious and well cooked meals. Lovely atmosphere. If we're down that way again, we'll certainly call in at the Olive Tree. 5 stars

Found this gem on the way home from a day out. The lady that greeted us was lovely, I believe her name was Gail. As we were there before 5, we had our choice of where we wanted to sit, then had a nice drink before ordering our food. My husband had a pizza and fries, grandson had the same, but as a child's portion, both were of a decent size. I had the gammon steak, and I have never had one like it before, this was not your thin round Frisbee that your normally get from a supermarket, it was a full on thick steak! All meals were really well cooked served. Desserts were good too. I would recommend to anyone, wouldn't mind going back sometime to try the tapas menu. Well done everyone at The Olive Tree!

Had a lovely meal this evening, first time trying out this place that’s only a short trip out of Fakenham. Lovely food, friendly staff and a good mix of music. Well done 👍

Best Sunday lunch I have experienced For many years whilst eating out. The beef was perfect roast Potatoes and parsnips perfect all the veg cooked just right with a rich flavoursome gravy.

Well what can we say four of us went for Sunday lunch today, Easter Sunday and boy was it tasty and absolutely delicious. Beef, Pork or Turkey to choose from all was beautifully cooked, with fresh veg and yorkies and sauces. Very generous portions no room for pudding. Lovely pleasant staff and we will definately be booking again.

First time I had a meal here and my goodness was the food delicious! A lovely and satisfying combination of English and Mediterranean cuisine that made me feel as though I was back home for a few hours. Would recommend to anybody passing by! Credit to the owners and their staff for always being welcoming and hospitable. 😁

Lovely people, great atmosphere and superb food. This is our 2nd visit and we will definately be back very soon. Today Sunday Lunch and it was the best Sunday lunch eaten out for a long time!

Had the most delicious Sunday lunch and dessert here. Good service and reasonable prices. It only serves Sunday lunch on Sundays but the menu for the rest of the week also looks really nice. We will definitely visit again on our next trip. Will try the Tapas.

This is my 2nd visit to the Olive Tree, again amazing service and the food is just as amazing and great value for money. We had tapas today and we were not disappointed just like eating in Spain and so much of it. Every dish was cooked to perfection and very tasty. We will definitely be back again.

Wonderful owners, brilliant staff and delicious food. Have a great menu but I do love their steak! Need to try other dishes that look yummy.

This site is an absolute gem. A Short notice booking. Greeted with a warm welcome. Very well presented pitches with you own bench. Very clean shower block and toilets. The food in the Bistro is 1st class. We have booked again before we left.

Lovely food with a wide range of Mediterranean and UK options. Very reasonably priced. Incredibly warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Wonderful - definitely returning. Sunday lunch was the best ever, it was hot, plenty of veg, brisket melted in the mouth, faultless. Very very nice. The refurb is one to see - a very very nice eating place.

Really delicious Sunday roast. Friendly and efficient service. Generous portion size and came with sauces and extra gravy. (A total bonus, didn’t even have to ask and wait for extra gravy like we usually do.) Couldn’t fault it, will definitely be back!

Lunch for 10 for mum’s 90th birthday. Everything about it was brilliant: great food with so much variation, Greek, Spanish, Italian etc, tapas particularly good, lovely people who couldn’t do enough and a very relaxed and easy going atmosphere. Altogether, really lovely. Thanks for making mum’s day a real treat!

Nicely decorated pub with friendly landlord and excellent food. Varied menu to suit all tastes,we chose two Tapas starters and the broken eggs potatoes and serrano ham dish as a main. All were tasty, hot and generously portioned. I had the calamari with a delicious sauce on the side and my wife had the prawns with sweet chilli sauce. Will definitely be back.

Lovely meal for two including pie & a pint for £12 (an offer that was running on a Wednesday evening) :) Great value for money, good portions and genuinely nice food. Really nice chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Give it a visit! Thank you :)

We used our motorhome and stayed 2 nights over new year. Facilities were excellent. EHU, toilets, shower, wet room. All refurbished to a good standard. The bistro was lovely and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The roast dinner was to die for. The meat was so tender and had loads of flavour. Would highly recommend. We will certainly be going back very soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a wonderful evening. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and service quick but relaxed. 3 of us had 7 tapas dishes which was just right, but we were very hungry and would probably normally have 6. The food was delicious, we also had one very tasty sticky toffee pudding between 2 of us. The Olive Tree now feels like the best of your local pub, together with international food (although the Sunday roasts get good reviews). Would highly recommend for a non pretentious, high quality evening out. Looking forward to the spring and having a nice glass of wine early evening in the garden.

We visited on Christmas Eve afternoon and found it very disappointing. We were looking forward to seeing the refurbishment and the pub re-opened for business. We also have a campervan so the pitches at the back of the pub were of interest to us. We actually, by coincidence, used to own a bar in Spain called El Olivo (the Olive Tree) and were, therefore, interested to see the Spanish tapas menu. When we entered the bar, there was one group there. They looked like they had finished eating and were just having a few drinks and one table of two, eating. We weren’t greeted in a particularly friendly manner and the landlord didn’t speak to us whilst pouring our drinks. I tried to start a conversation by saying how good it was to see the pub open again and he replied with one word…….yeah! That was it!! Although both he and his wife/partner were standing behind the bar whilst we sat and finished our drinks, neither of them made any attempt to speak to us. We asked to look at the menu and were handed a copy, without comment. I do have a thing about misspelling and Harty (instead of Hearty) soup jumped out from the page at me! We had one drink and left. I tried to wave goodbye but no-one looked in our direction. Not even a Merry Christmas wish, nor Happy New Year! Unfortunately, we won’t be rushing back. So very disappointing.

We all had a roast and it was excellent. Very well presented and the food and plates were hot. The portion size was very generous. Will be going back soon.

Very very nice bistro for a wonderful Sunday roast. Food was superb, very tasty. Excellent service. Will defintely be returning and recommending. 5 minutes east of Fakenham. Was known as the Green Man but now unrecognisable. Well done to all! Wonderful.

Wow, what an amazing Sunday roast! Everything you could expect and more. Good quantity of roast potatoes and turkey accompanied by stuffing, Yorkshire, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese, parsnips, cranberry sauce, gravy. Served hot and quick service with a great smile and chat to Barry.

Cant recommend highly enough. Absolutely perfect from arrival for a drink in the afternoon. Had a superbly presented meal in the evening. Great Mediterranean varied menu, including some good English pub classics. Nothing was too much trouble for the new owners, who are keen to...

Lovely Sunday lunch at The Olive Tree. Very nice pork and beef with plenty of fresh vegetables. Generous portions. Good choice of desserts. It’s obviously popular as there were quite a few people dining there.

Excellent meal. We had tapas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone very friendly good service and the Olive tree looks great. Well done

Moved into Little Snoring a year ago and was disappointed to see a run down and then closed pub. Later we saw that it had been taken over and changed the name to The Olive Tree. Again being cautious we waited to see what the...

Excellent tapas, especially the calamari, meatballs and patatas bravas. As regular visitors to Spain it’s lovely to have a taste of good tapas, even on a rainy Norfolk day. The decor is clean and welcoming and the service is friendly and efficient. Good value too....
