A lovely date night with excellent service and wonderful food and drink, we started with a delicious pornstar martini and then had a lovely bottle of Italian red wine. We enjoyed the Christmas menu with a great choice of starters mains and desserts

Lovely meal. Not been for a few years for no particular reason, but glad we went back. Shame it wasn’t busier, but the whole of town was quiet.

Delicious and flavoursome food - each dish on our table was different, well presented with great flavours - clearly cooked fresh. Polite and helpful staff - checking in but not over the top. Really good value for an excellent night.

Restaurant was lovely decorating. Looked amazing, staff were pleasantly polite. Food looked amazing, but unfortunately very tasteless, very bland. No staff asked how our meal was? Very expensive experience, maybe get a new chef...with some taste buds 🤔 won't be returning 🙃

This was a perfect choice - decided to eat out last minute picked the stuffed olive. Their autumn menu is full of choice and flavour! Starters delicious & struggled to pick with all the choice. The crab risotto & prawn & sausage casserole lovely full flavoured dishes - perfectly cooked, delicious! Dessert also did not disappoint. Booked again on leaving!!!

The food at the Stuffed Olive is big on flavour and they know how flavours work! Every course was delicious and distinctive. We started with the smoked salmon fritters and the spicy lamb and beef arancini. The fritters used well smoked tasty salmon which was lovely wih the subtle taste of the creamy horseradish. The minced meat in the arancini worked perfectly with just the amount of spice to taste lovely but not overpower the creamy arancini. Our mains were boozy duck - duck cooked perfectly with a thick tasty sauce with just the right amount of pork and brandy flavour, and chicken with goats cheese, chilli and fig stuffing. The stuffing worked brilliantly in what was a stunning dish. The desert of Black Forest Tiramisu intrigued me. Apparently it was new on the menu, and what a great addition it was. The moist tiramisu sponge working perfectly with the black forest cherry flavours. Delicious!! A bonus was it was a lovely atmosphere with helpful, friendly and attentive staff.. oh and the poshest toilets!!! If you a wondering where to eat in the Northampton area, The Stuffed Olive is well worth a visit.

This was a Saturday evening birthday meal for two. Service was excellent. We both enjoyed our starters (the falafels and the crab stack) - very tasty. Main courses were excellent - pan fried duck and steak, cooked exactly as we wanted. We were unfortunately too full to try the deserts. Overall an excellent meal with attentive service from the staff. Initially food was a little slow to come out but that was understandable given the number of people arriving and ordering quite close together - that’s hard for any kitchen. The only reason I haven’t given an overall top rating is because there was an error with the bill. That said the owner corrected it quickly with an apology. Overall I heartily recommend eating at the Stuffed Olive.
