Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

The Olive is a little jewel near Martock, Somerset. Us villagers from Chiselborough frequent The Olive a lot. Yesterday it was brunch with a friend, absolutely delicious! A couple of weeks ago it was girls lunch out, 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed our fresh food, our drinks, the service and the location. Next week it’s coffee. Last week it was coffee and cake at the sisters venue, The Old Dairy in Bower Hinton, near Martock. So lucky to have these places close.

We had good expectations of the restaurant but it actually exceeded them. The staff were lovely, the chef clearly very competent, and the restaurant smart but understated and relaxed. The food was imaginative and very tasty. The only criticism was that the aubergine caponata with the lamb was too hot & spicy for my husband's taste, it would have helped to make this clear on the menu so that it could be avoided and an alternative chosen. All in all, a very good restaurant.

Lovely venue, lovely food

Excellent service

Had a lovely evening celebrating my daughters’ 18th birthdays. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

One of the best meals we have had in a restaurant for ages. Great service, quality food you cannot cook at home and lovely atmosphere. Not cheap but still excellent value for money. Recommended

Beautiful place for lunch. Food was stunning, the staff were all lovely and we had a great afternoon. Will be back again soon

An attractive building in a quiet location. It serves freshly made and very tasty food at competitive prices. The staff were friendly and competent.

An excellent meal, whenever we visit Wells for The Comedy Festival we always try and book at The Olive Tree as we are guaranteed a quality experience which again it was with the Sunday Roast x

Had Sunday Lunch at the Olive Tree it was perfect as was the service highly recommend

We had a superb lunchtime meal at the Olive Kitchen. The food was tasty and fresh and the puddings were delicious, we will be returning.

Delicious birthday lunch and excellent gluten free menu. Our waitress was really good and nothing was too much trouble. Cost was very reasonable. Thank you

The food was delicious and beautiful presented, and met dietary needs very well. The staff were friendly and attentive and went the extra mile to help members of my party with accessibility issues.

Just the nicest place I’ve been to for a girls lunch in a very long time. Delicious, thank you. Will be back.

We had a lovely lunch at Olive last week. The food and service was excellent and the concern for allergies was welcome.
