I accidentally discovered this restaurant on Google Maps, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. We was warmly welcomed inside with my dog and enjoyed the first floor, which was just as charming as any other. The buffet was excellent …

Great food. Great service. We chose the quieter room so not involved in the "buzz" taking place upstairs. Once again Olive Grove you smashed it. See you next time for they'll definitely be a next time

Sat outside on a lovely Warm September Lunchtime where we enjoyed the "Lunchtime Set Menu". Fantastic value and very tasty. Highly recommend! A massive thankyou to Diana and the team for making it so memorable! 😁 …

Matt and Diana were perfect hosts and made us feel right at home at Olive grove. Food was absolutely gorgeous and very good value for money as portion sizes were massive. Will come back again next year when back for Uni!!

Absolutely ridiculously delicious food! Amazing service, we had a large table of 15 people, and were served expediently. Asked for drinks throughout the meal, and had a wonderful time thanks to all the wonderful staff and talent from the chefs at the Olive Grove!!
