We recently visited the Stuffed Olive and had the most amazing food. The wine was also delicious and the service was excellent. Can't wait to return!

When the first taste of your starter makes you say Wow then you know you are in a great restaurant. Loved the food, full of flavour and properly prepared. Lovely people and attentive service. Perfect.

We popped in by chance on a sunny evening and were super impressed. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was my wife's birthday and we had a wonderful time, highly recommended. Jason & Amanda

We took the opportunity to visit on a quiet Sunday evening for a family birthday. I’ve wanted to visit for many years but have not found the opportunity. I’m really pleased to have visited as the food was excellent! A big thanks to the team who patiently waited on us despite there being no other guests and likely had to cook a lot from scratch too! We really enjoyed our visit and it was worth the wait!
