As a part of a hen party of 22 we ate at The Olive Grove on Saturday 31st October and we were delighted with everything! The staff were so accommodating, we had booked the private room upstairs which worked out really well, the food was great, everyone really enjoyed the night. I definitely recommend The Olive Grove. more

We did not have a reservation, but the manager, Declan Hynes, greeted us and worked to find us a table. He seated us at a lovely... more
