Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

We haven't been for a while as we were disappointed with the menu, so thought we would try again. Lots of beefburgers and battered food again. Not many dishes with vegetables. But did have a smaller meal option. I had the fish cakes and they were very dry. The portion of the desert was very small for the price. Also customer service wasn't very good from two members of the staff. They might have done well in a student bar, but we felt they could have some more training.

A real “curates egg”. My main of poached Hake was one of the best meals I’ve had for a long time but other things fell below expectations. £4.25 for two tiny bits of focaccia is really taking the mickey. My onion bhaji was ok but overcooked. My friends pork cheeks was good but the braised steak dry, indeed one was returned and replaced by the hake. Staff tried their best but it all seemed a bit disorganised. Such a shame as was really looking forward to a lovely evening.

For fish lovers, this is simply the best restaurant for miles and miles. Food is excellent as is the service

Innovative menu with surprising ingredient combinations. We had 4 starters to maximise our taste experience. All were perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and delicious. The wines too were lovely and all served by the first class lady Louise.

Fantastic, tasty and well presented food. A great atmosphere and very friendly. All your hard work is fully appreciated 100%. You are local for us and we will be back very soon. Thank you ☺️

Another brilliant evening here with friends. The food is first class and also caters very well with gluten free dietary requirements. We will endeavour to return soon.

Superb Sunday roast, with friendly service. Highly recommend

Lovely meal! What a good restaurant! Our meal was exceptional, the service great, and the space comfortable and welcoming. I'm not impressed with many restaurants in Wells, with few exceptions most are tedious and generic, but The Olive Tree is an exception and a true standout.

Excellent food, excellent service - highly recommend!

Very good food served by friendly staff in a lovely old pub with a great atmosphere.

Superb menu, GREAT food, well priced. Exceptional staff and service. Very dog friendly, there’s an enclosed field specifically for dogs. Idyllic location, beautiful pub. Can’t wait to come back and stay at the beautiful, very keenly priced campsite. Thank you!!

Had a delightful lunch yesterday. Good food, beautifully presented, efficient and attentive service. My friend and i enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended.

WOW.....amazing service, amazing food and an amazing setting. Rosie and the staff are so friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. Will be going back soon. Thank-you The Masons Arms.

Exceptional meal. I can fault nothing. We’ll be back.

Lovely meal. One of the best we’ve ever had . Pleasant environment and relaxed service.

What a wonderful tasty meal at the Olive tree. Celebrating a friends birthday with lunch. Even though the coffee machine was being fixed they made a French Press version. The beetroot brownie was divine! Friendly and helpful. Beautiful decor and comfy seats for those of us with chronic back ache! Highly recommend and will be back when in the area!

A return visit to the best restaurant in Wells. Lovely laid back atmosphere and attentive friendly service. Gazpacho was my highlight; perfectly presented and the taste of summer.

Good food, basic menu with couple of specials, but really good and really enjoyed. Friendly staff, and such a lovely, quiet little campsite, will be back!
