Modern décor with lots of pop music references. Attentive and courteous service. Interesting and varied menu, featuring dishes from, Jamaica, India & Morocco. Wonderfully cooked food & superb wine enjoyed by my husband and myself with reasonable prices. We will be back.

We booked an evening meal to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. All the dishes on the menu were different to standard fare but not one of my family who have different tastes left a scrap on their plates. The wine was reasonably priced and all courses arrived hot and together - always a plus! We all wanted to try one... More

having heard very good things about this restaurant it was good to finally get there last night. The first thing we noted was the variety on the menu - so much to choose from. As soon as we sat down bread, nacho chips and a bottle of chilled water were brought us. All four of us agreed our food was... More

Ate here for a birthday meal with good friends. The menu was the most interesting I have seen in a long time. When the 4 dishes came out we all had to try a bit of each one as they all looked superb! I had the chicken and chorizo which was just fantastic. This place deserves to be no 1... More

I was staying at the adjoining Olive Branch B&B before a trip to Lundy and needed somewhere nearby to eat which had a good menu, a suitable wine list and was good value for money. I'm delighted to say that the Olive Room met all my requirements, So much so that I ate there on the way home too! On... More
