I went for my Birthday for afternoon tea and the food, service and setting was amazing. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be returning.
My daughter in law, granddaughter and I enjoy going out for a cream tea. Usually this means attentive staff, nice food and extra tea or coffee if wanted. Also a nice quiet chat together. None of this happened here. My daughter had booked an outside pod but was unsure if it would be for three or four people. When she rang to confirm there would be three bookings, she was told the pod was no longer available as there had to be four people to have a pod. She requested a table outside. We walked in to find we'd been given a table inside. Not as requested. The noise inside was absolutely terrible. We were given two teapots of tea to share amongst the three of us and a stand of cake and sandwiches. Being a veggie I can only say my four tiny finger sandwiches were bland and uninteresting. I gave up after eating two. My meat eating companions were luckier. There was also what appeared to be chickpea curry rolled in filo pastry. I like both but this looked unappetising so my daughter tried a piece first. She declared it heavy and stodgy so I left it. The small scone was dry and hard. It's the part of cream tea that we enjoy the most and look forward to. Even smothered in jam and cream I could only take a couple of bites and left it. My daughter and granddaughter ate theirs but couldn't touch anything else so we put the cakes into a box to take home for my grandson and left. We could see the pods from our table and one clearly only contained 3 people in spite of what my daughter was told. I would have given one star but gave 2 star as my daughter and granddaughter said, it was 'alright but we've had better'. Somebody asking if all is ok is part of the service that makes you feel special and makes you want to return. Not here though. A feeling of indifference as to whether you were fine or not. We'll not go back. Once was enough. I'm glad that others have had a better experience. It certainly wasn't a pleasant experience for us. Sorry Olive Tree, we all have 'off' days but I believe in being truthful in my reviews and saying exactly how it was for me. This incidentally, is the first negative review I've ever had to write.
Very pleasant cafe in great surroundings. Inside and outside seating or book a pod. Lovely food and coffee. Very friendly staff and happy for dogs outside. Ample parking in the grounds.
