What twink007 doesn't like about The Olive Tree Cafe:
I have been a supporter of this charming and friendly charity cafe since it opened around 2010. A friend and I visited yesterday for brunch on June 20th, 2023. We both ordered the ham, egg, and chips with a side of bread and butter, but were disappointed with the thin, wet, tasteless, and rubbery ham. However, the chips were delicious and the egg was small and hard-fried. The side salad looked wilted. Despite these i... View all feedback.

Love this place,polite staff and good service,took my mum in for lunch,got tea,cake and a panini ,very fast service and lovely staff...well worth t he money

The restaurant has a charitable and friendly atmosphere, despite some minor issues with food quality and service. Recommendations for improvement include sourcing meat from local butchers, improving the cooking of eggs, and serving fresher salads. Customers appreciate the friendly and chatty staff, with positive reviews of the jacket potatoes, paninis, and toffee cake. Breakfast options are varied and well-cooked, making it worth a visit. Despite occasional long waits, the food is freshly prepared and delicious. A great spot for coffee, cake, or a cooked meal, with a lovely and welcoming atmosphere.
