    I booked the Olive Branch for a business dinner; it was just great. The waiter was good and know both wine and food menu. It wasn't too noisy and the food and drink was great - not a bad price either.

    The service was very poor, we waited almost 15 minutes for a drink and if I had not complained would probably still be waiting. They were training new staff on the busiest day of the week for lunch. Taking our order was slow for both the main course and desert. There are so many establishments looking for paying customers I expected better. Despite the food being very good I would not return. Let down by the poor service.

    Our second booking. Family get together. Great food and drink. Now we think of the OB as the first place to book.

    I use to work in the pub 20 + years ago and the latest make over has made this pub a gem in decor. The food is good, service is friendly. A reinvigorated food focused local. Relaxed and seemingly popular with locals.

    We were disappointed with the roast. Meat tough and gristly not many veg. Expect lunch time would be ok but maybe we got the left overs. Staff were good and friendly

    Servings smaller, prices higher, restaurant emptier than used to be. 1 drink each, £80 spent and children still hungry - that can't be right can it?

    We had a super waitress, really happy and attentive. Starters were simply amazing but the mains seriously let us down after such a wow first course. The crab burgers were very oily and over deep fried that ruined the delicate flavours. Deserts then made up for it though. Loved the pear sorbet and my husband said the Capricorn goats cheese was stunning. Would go again if in area but choose my mains carefully.

    Food great service abysmal. Service was full of kids not caring. Dropping cuttlery and walking past it. Waiting 20 minutes for drinks. Hour food and 30 minutes for desert. Put me off returning as no one had any control.

    Always a good choice for a pleasant meal out - but where is the veg? Green vegetables do not appear on the menu as side dishes, though seem to be available on request, but at what price? Speed of service can be variable, but on a relaxed evening out, do we care?
