"Obviously a captive audience in an airport so without any other food outlets (other than a coffee bar that we spotted after or WHSmith we had no choice. Ordered 2 breakfasts one meat breakfast with fried eggs and one veggie breakfast minus the roasted peppers and tomato (I know, I’m fussy when it came out the meat one had scrambled egg (not fried as requested with toast that was bread on the top and toast on the bottom and I’m not talking either side of the bread I’m talking as if you drew a line across it or popped it in the toaster with one half hanging out. The veggie breakfast (including the peppers I asked to be left off came without toast (my fault for not understanding the menu properly, but who serves breakfast without toast? the waiter said ‘do you want toast’ I said ‘yes please’ I took this to mean he was getting me some, never came back. The beans were cold, and not been sitting for a minute cold like hadn’t been heated cold. The eggs were snotty. Looked around for someone to talk to about my disappointment but there was now a queue as long as my arm at the bar and no one else in sight. Eventually when I told the same guy who had offered me toast how awful it was he just smiled and cleared my plates. For the price of that breakfast I think it was an absolute joke. Would have waited to talk the manager but I think I would have missed my flight. Confused at how over run they were as well, surely they are used to the patterns of busy trade times it’s the only eatery in the airport for goodness sake (after security .......maybe they hadn’t checked the flight times when making the rota. Can not deny that the staff were polite and the ordering process was fine (apart from getting both the meals wrong coffee came out quickly. Colour me unimpressed!!"

06.00, hungry. I 'd eaten at the pub at Bournemouth airport previously and not happy with that, so ate at the little café this time. Really nice.

Horrible dirty overcrowded place. Long queues and overworked staff. Shame it is the only place to eat at this airport. Next time I will bring my own food. Give it a miss if you can.

We had a breakfast in the early hours of the morning, the breakfast was hot,well presented,we didn’t have to wait long for it, it wasn’t huge but enough to tied you over for a few hours.

This is the worst battered fish I have EVER had. Apparently it's supposed to be a light golden homemade beer batter. It is burnt on the outside raw on the inside and the oil tastes rancid. Be warned

When you no real choice of where to eat, I suppose you should not expect too much.but you should your food still be of a good standard. the olive tree food not really up to scratch. just yo be warm would help.

WHS was sold out of sandwiches so we looked at the Olive Tree takeaway selection. Not only were the ingredients not shown but there wasn’t even a basic description of what each sandwich was. There were a couple of shelf tags but no way to tell what was what.

Presented my traveller card which states you get 25% off food and drink only to be told you have to buy a meal as well as a drink to get the discount. Very misleading on the app. Eat and drink before you get here as they will not honour the offer and they know they’ve got you once you’re through security!

I was surprised to read the reviews on here as we had a completely different experience! We flew to Malaga on a Thursday afternoon and stopped at at he Olive Tree for lunch before our flight, there was plenty of seating, service was quick and the guy behind the counter could not have been more helpful, the food was served quickly and was lovely as was the drinks (prosecco) it was the perfect start to our holiday and certainly stress free for us!

I visited The Olive Tree in August last year and gave a one star review. I visited again on June 29th with very little expectation, but, was pleasantly surprised. There were 4 or 5 members of staff behind the bar, all working extremely hard. Theft were all very friendly and efficient in doing their job. The long queues that I have experienced in the past weren't allowed to develop due to the efforts of the staff behind the bar. We ordered food which arrived promptly. The chips were tasty, but, my burger wasn't particularly hot. I would definitely use The Olive Tree again based on this experience.
