Description

The Olive Tree, a cafe within a garden center, offers a mixed reviewing experience. Some customers praise the excellent service, delicious food, and pleasant ambiance. However, others note issues such as missing items in orders, poor food quality, and slow service. Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant seems to excel in special events like Christmas afternoon tea. Customers appreciate the effort of the staff, particularly the friendly waitresses who go above and beyond to provide a positive experience. While there are areas needing improvement, overall, the Olive Tree appears to be a charming spot for a meal.

I am very happy with the delicious food and excellent service at this cafe. My wife and I have been coming here for years and always leave satisfied. The prices are reasonable considering the current economic situation. The restrooms are clean and easily accessible, and the cafe and garden centre are both disability friendly, which is important for us as my wife is disabled.

Waited at entrance for a couple of minutes as instructed by sign, some staff walked past then someone did look in our direction, so I asked for a table for two there was only the two of us at the entrance then a couple of menus were presented without any measure of welcome, we were lead to probably the worst table in the whole restaurant right at the counter. Constant staff chatter at the coffee counter. Neither noticed we were waiting a lengthy time with menus in front of us. We had arrived early so there was plenty of better tables. We waited and waited as the place slowly got busier but plenty of staff still standing around. Eventually I managed to catch a staff member and asked if we can order and was told ‘someone will be with you soon’. Waited a further few minutes. 25 minutes had passed since we arrived and we hadn’t even ordered yet. The restaurant became busier as we waited but the staff didn’t appear to be under any pressure. Seems the staff are managing the kitchen by slowing the service but a bit of communication with the customers wouldn’t go a miss. The wait for food was still slow! At this point the fact the food was good made no difference, we will try somewhere else in future.

Such a shame . The menu has been changed . I strongly suspect suppliers have been changed . The quality of all produce is now very poor . I never mind paying a premium for good quality . But today was a very premium price for poor quality tasteless eggs /bacon and sausage not worth mentioning . A massive contrast from every other previous visits . Previously always very busy but if the drastic change was to become less busy it should do the trick. The staff were still very pleasant and I feel for them when people will obviously question changes with them . A price increase is sometimes understandable but never sacrifice quality . From an easy 10/10 to at a push 3/10 . Gutted .
