    Our waiter kept forgetting what we were asking. I had to ask for a beer 4 times, and also the side I had requested to come with my main arrived after repeatedly asking for it. The atmosphere of the place is actually very nice. The food was worse than I anticipated based on the reviews. I'm a big fan of Turkish cuisine and this was probably my worst experience at a Turkish restaurant.

    The restaurant has a lovely feeling but in my opinion it was very over priced for what you got, 1 sml bottle of peroni £6.90, £21.50 for what looked like a childs dinner, I left there feeling hungry and for the large bill we got was very frustrating to have to go home and get something to eat. I will certainly not be returning there. The one at the top of town is alot more value for money.

    Was very busy on a Wednesday evening. Service was timely & friendly to enable us to leave on time for our Anvil concert. It's always a pleasure to return!

    We went to the Olive House to celebrate a family birthday, six adults and a young baby. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly in there and we were given a table with plenty of room for the pram etc. The service is friendly and efficient and the menu has a lot of choice and all food ordered was plentiful, delicious and well presented. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone.

    Really like the venue and decor in this place. Staff really friendly and attentive. Wine was a bit on the steep side but come to expect price rises when eating out nowadays. Will definitely revisit again.
