As well as intimate and cosy meals for couples or small groups, we are also a noted venue for group bookings, including cocktail classes, birthdays, hen parties, and weddings - all of which may be combined with a two/three-course meal, buffet, or something more bespoke. Once a month we host the Oliver's bottomless brunch, with option to upgrade to bottomless cocktails. These are always popular and we recommend booking well in advance.

For any bookings over 20 people we are happy to open our restaurant on a Monday - Wednesday - Please contact us direct for more information.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar and dance floor area turns into a club setting from 9pm - please consider this when booking late tables in the restaurant.

    We came back here for our 3 year anniversary and the food was amazing. We ordered the filet steak and the pork belly both were cooked to perfection and the service was great. The restaurant had recently been refurbished so the ambiance was lovely and we went on a Tuesday so it was 50% off mains as well!

    Partner and I booked our valentines date night here. The customer service from the start was exceptional, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was to much trouble. We didn't wait long for our orders even though they were busy. The food was great though my salmon was a little undercooked but everything else was great. Good value for money and looking forward to another date night there.

    Was our 2nd time having the Sunday roast share board and it was just as amazing as the first time. It’s definitely the best roast on the Rochester high st! Plenty of food with all the trimmings and the staff are super friendly. Perfect way to spend a Sunday with the family.
