Never will we ever be returning to this place again. This time we decided to use the delivery service and the delivery driver was rude and useless, unable to follow simple instructions such as drive forword im three houses away and im waving in the road to be met with a responce of "you know what love, go pick it up your self" before turning the car round and driving off. Upon contacting olive tree and speaking with the boss he was apoligetic, but offerd no means to correct the issue. We try to support local small business and this happens, sadly almost two hours after ordering we whent to dominos.

Great food never had better, it’s just the consistency of the closing times it’s meant to close at half 9 on Sunday got there at 9 and it was close would be the best takeaway I’ve ever been to if ther were open till the time it says close on the website!!!!!

This was a Takeaway meal and was really looking forward to it, so when I got it home and the onion rings looked like they were from the day before and the chunky chips looked like they had been left in the fryer way too long I was very disappointed, it wasn't that hot and the Cajun chicken wings were not that nice, my main meal Beef Stroganoff was ok but again not very hot, And to top it off you can not pay by card, cash only, with what's going on at the moment you would think that they wouldn't want to be handling money and food at the same time, wont be going back

First off, food was nice. But the portion was ridiculous and it wasn't hot. We ordered 2 Full Montys to take away. It was in a tiny silver tray you get from the Chinese containing 1 sausage 2 small bacon a spoon of beans and an egg!! In a other pot was a hash brown and about 5 mushrooms! Considering it cost £16 for two of these I wouldnt return. We went back and complained about the portion and was given an extra 2 cold sausages from the fridge..

The first takeaway meal we've had during Lockdown and it was amazing! . We had deep pan Mexicano & Meat Feast pizzas & Beef Stroganoff, it was delivered on time by a lovely, friendly young lady and it was all absolutely delicious. Well done Olive Tree, hopefully this negative time we've found ourselves in has had a positive effect on your business.

We have moved to Hesketh Bank and this place was recommended to us to try by our neighbour. So with this Lockdown we are in from the Covid-19 virus I rang up to see if they did takeaway and was delighted they did delivery. My husband had the Beef stroganoff and I had Penne Arribati with one cheesy pizza bread and one Mexicano . Throughly enjoyed it, my husband kept eyeing mine out . For £25.00 including delivery a good choice.

In need of something to eat, decided to try the Olive Tree. The last of the properties with a sit in area for us to try in our first year in the village. So sorry it took us slow long to give it a go. Quite a wide and interesting variety on the menu for a little place. I had the Olive Tree special, with black pudding. My wife tried the scrambled egg, crispy bacon. Both lovely, well cooked, nice amount of food too. Friendly, efficient staff.Lots of people calling in for take away orders. Open late of a Thursday,Friday and Saturday.

This delightful cafe/restaurant (in Tarleton, West Lancashire, not Preston in spite of the post code) which is open all day, also does an evening session with additional specials as main meals Thursday to Saturday. We were helping to stage a performance of The Gondoliers from the The Hoghton Players Gilbert and Sullivan Society at the nearby Holy Trinity Church and needed a quick early evening meal. We were welcomed with enthusiasm and took a starter glass of wine while we checked out the menu. I went for the specials board sea food risotto, while Sue decided on a pasta dish from the regular menu. Both came quite quickly, were delicious, and of a sensible size. We finished with a hot chocolate and a coffee. When we were ready to leave, the very reasonable bill came quickly, we paid it happily (NB: cash only - but the Co-op cash machine is only five minutes walk away) and went off to set and sing completely content. If you prefer to eat at home, they do take-aways.

Omg never again, everything is deep fried including the hash browns, but not just deep fried but fried in the same oil as everything else they fry, tastes revolting. Sausages where I'm sure out of date. Eggs well they where hard, not good with a breakfast. Beans cold. All in all it was rank. Oh no sorry toast was nice. To cap it all I paid 18 for 2 breakfasts and 2cups of tea. Left feeling pretty damn ripped off and hungry. Just awful.

Visited after a recommendation but we're disappointed to find little choice for vegan or no gluten diets. I ended up with a jacket potato as there was little else to choose from for me as a no gluten eater. The potato was ok but nothing out of the ordinary and was the usual price range of over five pounds.The food did take some time to arrive and we noticed that gloves were not worn when placing salad leaves from a bag onto the plates! The décor was ordinary and not very cosy .Felt more like a take away than a cafe. . The waitress was however very nice and pleasant. Ok for a cuppa if you are passing but would not make a special journey here again.

Thought I'd try and help local business rather than go to the local booths for 3 jacket potatoes for lunch. One plain, one with cheese and one with cheese and beans. £13.50!!!!! Could not believe it! Didn't look at prices as never imagine a potato would be soooo expensive. £3.50 for the plain one! I could make 10 for that price. Don't mind paying if good value for money but this was a rip off and I won't be going back sorry

I have previously raved about this place, however the quality really has gone down hill. I ordered the seafood special pasta and found a hair in it. My wife ordered the lasagna and the cheese looked congealed and unappetising. The garlic calzone was a greasy mess and when we broke into it it reminded me of a burst spot on the plate. I have noticed that there is a young staff in there now and that the owner isn’t cooking the dishes anymore. The formula for this place has broken which is a shame as I used to love it. The owner did try and rectify the situation by sending a fresh dish free of charge which he should be commended for.

Just visited the olive tree. For a sausage baguette and children's sausage sandwich and 3 drinks we had pennies back from £20!!! Would not have minded paying if it was quality fresh sausages and bread but it was Cheap bread cheap sausages. The girls serving were friendly however I presume the person who rang it through the till was the owner and he was rude very rude and was making up prices first he charged £22 before we questioned it!! He was also controlling of the staff and spoke to them disrespectfully! Would never go back again and will advise other people against visiting.

You can see the dishes being prepared freshly by the chef in the open kitchen. Everything was excellent ! My favourite being the meat feast pizza with a few fresh chillis on top! Lovely thin base freshly made from their own recipe dough in house. I had a nice cold bottle of peroni lager and my son and his girlfriend had banana and strawberry milkshakes the Mrs had a coke . I really recommend this local restaurant. The owner Ali is very friendly and helpful as are all his staff. Will be back soon for a breakfast or a coffee. See you soon!

Nipped in for coffee and cake and a quick lunch for our 8 year old as it had been recommended.Strange layout - feels like you are in someones front room with a big open cooking area.The coffee and hot chocolate were ok - cake was pre-bought in but they made an effort to present nicely on a plate. Kids sandwich was ok too. Not as great as i expected to be honest.The main thing that let it down though was how we were made to feel - like we were interrupting their day and should not be there. It was very quiet with just 2 other tables occupied but these were obviously regulars and the owner stood chatting to them the whole time and acted like we were not there.We will try again - maybe a take away one evening and see how that goes.

It was by chance we were in Tarleton. The local parcel drop off was closed, Tarleton was open. It was near lunch time so we decided to go back to The Olive Tree, where we had had good service & food over the past 4 years. On entering it was obvious the cafe had had a make over since our last visit, new tables & chairs, decor & I think the cooking area was new. On checking the prices, they had risen somewhat since our last visit, probably to pay for the up-grade. It was a wet Easter Monday, & there was only one other customer. We ordered drinks, me white coffee, my wife a fruit juice as she thought the hot chocolate too expensive. I ordered Eggs Benedict which I had enjoyed previously there, my wife a Hot Ham bagette, no bagettes so she had to settle for white bread. The waiter asked if we would like a bowl of chips to share, so we agreed. The food arrived. my Eggs Benedict didn't look like any eggs benedict I had had before, usually there is a goodly portion of hollandaise sauce with the muffin & eggs covered. This looked as if it had come out of a spray bottle with a thin pattern across the muffins. The eggs were just on the point of solidity, not as runny as they should be. My wife's ham sandwich, which should have been a hot bagette, was a cold sandwich, with a salad & red onion in the salad, she doesn't like onions!!! Not being very enchanted with the food, we quickly eat up & went to the till for the bill. £15.45 was the total, which I thought £12 would have been expensive. This morning when I got up I had to rush to the toilet & all day have suffered with bouts of severe diarrhoea, & this afternoon my wife had to go to the chemist for a box of Imodium, hopefully I won't have to resort to the doctor. The chips were the best part of the meal, the rest was certainly below standard. I suspect the so called hollandaise had been pre made & gone past its sell by date. We certainly won't be going back.

In need of breakfast, I drove into the nearest village, I stopped as there was a parking space. Bacon butty & a mug of tea made to order, just what the Doc ordered. When I'm in the area it has become a regular stopping off point. Lunch is not too bad either, they even deliver.

Having been to the Olive Tree, some time ago, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. And promised ourselves, we would return- So today we returned it is a 60 mile round trip for us but well well worth the journey. It is such a nice change to have fresh food, and especially when it is cooked in front of you. There was a lovely atmosphere, (a little piece of ITALY.) and the café was full. Well presented and delicous food , and a cheerful waitress, who was very helpful. We didn't come away empty handed, brought some cake home with us.We will return, wish we lived nearer, we would go every week.

Nothing fancy about the place or the food but none of that matters when you are made to feel so welcome. Anything from a pot if tea to a full meal can be had at very good prices.Recommended.

Had two meals here one during a lunch time visit with my Mother which consisted of me having Beef stroganoff and she having olive tree special club sandwich, both of us had latte's followed by ice cream. everything was lovely and fresh and served piping hot by friendly staff.The second meal was a breakfast visit for sausage bacon and egg beans and mushrooms and tomatoes, and this was with my youngest son. He had a Banana milk shake with ice cream and I had latte. Again everything was nice fresh and piping hot served by very pleasant and friendly staff.Prices are reasonable, everything is good quality and the restaurant kept nice and clean.Try it.....you'll love it, but leave room for me! Be back again soon.Thanks Olive Tree.

Lovely freshly cooked food, made in front of you in the open kitchen - happy to cater for all dietry needs and also cook food not on the menu if something takes your fanci. Not the cheapest in the area but the best - you get what you pay for, always a pleasure to visit.

Different price everytime I go in and I order same meal. Over priced. Owner very rude to regular customers. Very controlling atmosphere.

I have visited this place a number of times now and each time decide I will not go back (but end up going back as someone else invites me) because I just think the quality of the food is poor and so over priced.I recently had a prawn sandwich there which when came was literally two slices of very stale bread (which has been the case on more than one occasion) with a few prawns which cost £5.10 there was no garnish or crisps just literally the two slices of stale bread for over a fiver! I have since been in with my toddler and asked if they would be kind enough to just cook two items from the breakfast menu however they brought her an adult sized meal with things we hadn't asked for and charged me just under a fiver for it, I wanted to send it back and say this is not how I ordered it but my little one was so hungry we couldnt have waites while they made a new one, I couldn't help but think they were just trying to make more money from us! and again this isn't the first time they have done this here! I find the staff are nice here but after the last few times I have been I feel that they sometimes trick you into spending more money than you intended by giving you more than what you ordered and charging you for it, will definetly not be returning again

I have been here once or twice and was a bit dissapointed to see their cakes were from cosco, going somewhere like this I thought the cakes would be home made not just ones I can buy myself! and I found bo th the cakes and bread were a bit dry.Probably wouldn't rush back here as there's lots of similar places is the area that are much better

We've visited The Olive Tree on several occasions now, both as eat in customers and for take-aways (a new service they offer on Friday and Saturday evenings). To sum it up in one word - WOW! Everything we've had has been made fresh, from scratch and has been delicious! The attention to detail tops that of many posh restaurants with food served beautifully and very creatively!! Nothing is too much trouble for Ali, he even asked what pizza toppings I would have if I could choose anything (I absolutely love goats cheese and red onion) and upon telling him this he bought goats cheese especially for our now regular weekend take away pizza! A hidden gem - well worth a visit, especially with such a warm welcome from Ali and Louise.

We were visiting WWT Martin Mere and were looking for a cafe for breakfast to set us up for a day of walking and bird watching. We found ‘The Farm’ online and headed there on our way. When you arrive it doesn’t look much from the outside, but once you walk through the door it is welcoming, cosy and has a lot to offer. We ordered Full English Breakfast and it was very tasty and nicely presented. It came with toast which was a nice bonus, as so many places now you have to order it separately. There is a small farm shop which forms part of the cafe and has a nice range of local produce including small gifts and cards. We bought a couple of Rhubarb Pies to take away with us and they were delicious too! Would definitely recommend this establishment.

I have visited Bramley's several times over recent year and have always found it to be a lovely experience. I usually order the same Breakfast Bite and they always tweak it for me without any question. As previously mentioned, it's great to get an extra pot of hot water with tea. It's always a good cuppa, but can afford to have extra water and still be good. This visit I took my friend, who lives outside the area, she was really impressed and can't wait to bring her husband to try it next time The food is always good, with generous portions. It's great that it's independent and not a chain. Usually a good sign for fresh homemade food. Well worth a visit.

What an interesting conundrum, is this a 5 or a 4, I am going for a 4, and for the next few lines going to explain why. We were met, greeted and sat down, our pre meal drinks order taken effortlessly whilst we sat until our table was made ready; whilst waiting for our table, the staff kept our glasses topped up, in a nice provision of service. We enjoyed each course and from a technical prospective the food was masterly cooked and enjoyable, but that was it - enjoyable, there was no real dish that stretched or surprised the palate, which in my view is the sign of an aspirational restaurant not pushing its self. The level of service through the meal was excellent. Highlights of the meal - the cauliflower course and Hoggart slice / jus. Would I go back - certainly and will do so and the next menu change is made.
