Reviews in Dorset

Went for Sunday carvery, have been to the Gallery a fair few times over the years and never been disappointed, carvery is always really good, however, on this occasion just a couple of very small criticisms, the Yorkshire puddings were all burnt! and Yorkshires are very important to me, and the roast potatoes had obviously been sat a while, and not as Crispin as I've had in the past, as I said, two very small niggles. Staff are always great.

Great food, good service and a convenient location all go to make the Olive Tree the place to have a meal

Fantastic really enjoyed it all food atmosphere and especially the cats and the the lovely host just loved it all

Super friendly atmosphere. The lady there on Thursday was very kind and polite. The cats are super cute and friendly overall a great experience.

Beautiful cafe with excellent service. Cake was delicious and coffee was great. Cats are soooo cute. An amazing experience and would definitely go again. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Excellent service, wonderful food. We will be back

A lovely time spent with gorgeous, friendly cats! Chocolate brownies were tasty, the staff wonderful and they decorated with birthday banners in advance for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely return!

Such a lovely restaurant. A real treat to eat here. The fish is second to none and so fresh and delicate. The vegetables are always a main event in themselves and such a lovely variety (samphire, white beetroot, carrot, sugar snap etc) rather than the usual carrots and peas many places offer. As a gluten free customer the fact that they don’t bulk out sauces etc with flour is a real plus.

Been here several times and always had a great meal. Service was excellent and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Been to The Olive Tree on several occasions always lovely food with pleasant staff ❤️Highly recommended.

Seven of us in our party, we had 3 large and four small carveries which were amazing, meats plenty and the veg and potato’s were plentiful and hot and fresh. So no complaints there, however at £8 each the desserts were not goo unfortunately myself and my dad went for the apple and mixed berry crumble it consisted of stewed fruit with what seemed like crumbled shortbread biscuit on the top I went for custard an my dad had the tiniest ball of ice cream with water cress on the top of it! My kids both had the ‘rocky road’ sundae which was icecream, cream and the tiniest cubes of brownie in it! In short will definitely come back for the roast but will 100 percent stay away from desserts

The Chinese buffet was so good , all the dishes were really tasty . The staff as usual are so welcoming and friendly, they make you feel special. Can’t wait for the Indian buffet !

A lovely and relaxed experience. It was such a great experience! Myself , sister and nephew took my mum for Mother’s Day and she loved every minute. The cats were friendly and confident and the staff were really nice too. The food was yummy and drinks were too. Compared to another cat cafe we have been too this is by far the best !

We were visiting Bridport for the weekend and our host recommended the olive tree and we were so pleased we went as the food was amazing very friendly staff . The owner was very gracious with his time to come and talk to us and share the delicious recipe for one of his desserts . I have a food allergy and it was not a problem for the chef he changed my meal so I could enjoy his delicious food . The food was cooked to order and all locally sourced which I love . We would definitely recommend this restaurant it’s a gem in Bridport. THANK YOU

12 of us attended the first "around the world" buffet on Saturday night. The food was lovely and hot and certainly plentiful. Our only criticism was that the dishes could have done with a label so as to know what was in the trays. Other than that it was delicious and we will be back to sample some of the other cuisines

Always a great carvery, never had a bad one here. Great value for money and always leave having eaten too much. Service and staff brilliant.

We had a fabulous evening at the olive tree. the staff were so friendly and advised us on wine and had a great knowledge of the menu. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly. thank you.

We always visit here when we come to Bridport and are never disappointed. The food is delicious and the staff very friendly and efficient. Keep up the good work.
