I’ve been here a few times now, first time in the restaurant this time round. I’ve enjoyed eating in the cosy and very comfortable bar up until now so it was a bit of a shock to be told very bluntly that we couldn’t eat there this time. We were ushered downstairs and given a table at one end of... More

My partner and myself have eaten the first-class Sunday carvery at 'The Olive Mill' on many occasions and the food and service have always been excellent. Today three friends and I ate their 'two courses for £10 . 00 lunch' and were really overwhelmed by the delicious food, the service and the truly fantastic value for money. We will all... More

The Olive Mill was perfectly placed for a birthday get together from two ends of the M5. It was a last minute decision to stop there and we were very pleased with the friendly greeting, service and food. To make it even more special the staff were very happy to let us bring in, and eat, our own birthday cake/pud... More

The Olive Mill is in a lovely semi-rural location with fantastic views. Which has been on the TV show. The restaurant inspector. What have we let are self’s in for??? The Outside looks a bit drab, plenty of dead plants to great you. On entering we were met with a warm welcome by friendly staff in the family run restaurant.... More

Trouble with carvery food is it tastes so much better when just cooked but if the restaurant isn't that busy then food sits about under warming lamps and ends up tasting like a microwave meal. So unless you can book for around midday then I would avoid. The creme brulee was pleasant. This was our second visit. The first was... More

Family friendly. Service friendly and explanation as to the wait for food, which was that there were people who had ordered before us and in order to keep the food unspoilt and hot the restaurant would rather we waited to be told when to queue up for food. Good choice on carvery menu and large portions. Lovely atmosphere and views... More

Had a lovely meal here a few months ago, and going again this weekend. Really lovely service and you feel well looked after here. Complimentary bread and olives are brought to the table while you are waiting for your starters. Great choice of veggie food for starters for me, but not so much on the main, but having a bigger...

Was not impressed with the menu, somewhere between pizza bar and restaurant. Lack of atmosphere, only 6 people in the restaurant on a Friday night.
