Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I booked a couple of nights at the Lodge which is part of The Olive Bar and Grill. The room was a little tired but extremely clean and very comfortable. Wednesday evening I popped in for dinner and was tempeted by the chicken in rosemary...and garlic it was delicious and I was extremely suprised by the cost HALF PRICE! Thursday night was steak night I didn't know what to expect with #steakontherocks but 440° volcanic rock apparently. Slice it or dice it, let the rock do its thing and take it off when done to your liking. De~lic~ious well worth the experience and great price too. (Check out the mouth watering image) They also offer something a little more excotic but not really my thing. Staff were A~MAZ~ING! They could not have been more helpful and extremely friendly. I was travelling by myself but they made me feel right at home. Thank You.More

We were really excited about going to the Olive Restaurant and loved the décor and the ambience, also the staff were lovely. We ordered a Sunday lunch and were astonished when the meal was served to the table, as the slices of beef were quite...thick. Unfortunately the meat and vegetables were tough. Nice to see the place but won't be going back for food again.More

Booked for Sunday lunch before we travelled back to Kent, Karen was our waitress and she was amazing, very welcoming, warm and catered to our every need, the roast was bang on, huge Yorkshire Puddings, and offered extra veg, tatties & gravy at no extra...cost. I would definitely recommend The Olive and would go back in a heartbeat 💓More

Just been here for a lunch with our child, the place is tastefully decorated and clean and the food was beautiful (compliments to the chef) my son had burger I had a Sunday lunch and my husband had crocodile! However the lunch was totally ruined...by a young waitress who came out of the kitchen swearing 🤬 she then proceeded to sit at 3 different tables having a good old chinwag and totally ignoring Diners, while we waited 20 mins for her to come clear our table ( it never was cleared) we were going to go to the bar and order desert as we had been waiting ages for her to come over to us but the sight of her stood talking at the bar picking her nose put us off and we went to the bar and paid our bill and left(table still uncleared) there wasn't many in at all so god help them when it's packedMore

We celebrated our daughters 18th birthday with a family meal, The Olive was a great choice, we had a private area and received excellent friendly service from start to finish, the food was delicious, and great value for money.

First time I've ever been here and I will definitely come back. My friend and I came here on the 1st November for something to eat. We were greeted by a lovely waitress who served us. I had steak and my friend had a burger...and both meals were cooked to perfection. Fantastic food. So we tried a dessert too. I had banoffee pie and my friend had brownies. The desserts didn't disappoint either. If you want great food and service, definitely come to the Olive.More
