"We haven 't been to the Olive Tree Cafe since before lockdown. We visited the Garden Centre today purely to go to the Cafe. I have been feeling low in myself lately and the Olive Tree Cafe has such a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious and the carrot cake and scones are to die for! as were the drinks and service was as good as always. The ladies and gents in the Cafe literally do not stop. We were not aware that it is preferred that a table is pre booked now, rather than walk ins, which we did on this occasion, but we will definitely pre book in future. People 's reviews are exactly that, their views, however, it is a little unfair for people to say that you have to sit waiting for ages and staff are grumpy! A lot of these people volunteer their time and as the saying goes 'Be Kind ' Thank you everyone at the Olive Tree Cafe. We look forward to our take away sandwiches and look forward to seeing you again soon."

We absolutely love it here! Kind, friendly, brilliant cause and amazing food. The setting is so cosy, the plants you can buy and local crafts add to its community feel.

Came for a breakfast as a change and thought we’d try here. Fantastic food and variety with a great “build your own” breakfast. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a go. View menu

Popped here with my son after visiting the garden centre. Waited 10 mins to be seated then another 15 mins for our order to be taken. The waitress was not in the least bit friendly and there was no smiles just grunts. We then waited 30 mins for a coffee and a toastie (toastie was 6 pound! . Food ok but overly priced and extremely slow unfriendly service will not be returning.

We waited to be seated and served, but the waitress took the order of the couple sitting across from us and ignored us. She then promptly took another couple's order and continued to ignore us. Eventually, she went to the kitchen to chat, and after waiting for twenty minutes, we decided to leave. Based on other reviews, it seems like this may be an issue with just one particular waitress.

Decided to go for a spontaneous brunch with one of my daughters and grandsons. The service and food was excellent. We all have different dietary requirements and the menu allowed for all of us to eat well! I went for a brunch with sausages and bacon and it was the best brunch that I have had for years! I will definitely be visiting again and bringing more family and friends to sample the lovely food and atmosphere. View menu

I have been to this cafe multiple times and the staff are always friendly and attentive. I usually try to make a reservation as it can get busy, but even when it's busy, the staff are still talkative and personable. I particularly enjoy when the lady with curly hair and beautiful necklaces is working because she is always pleasant to chat with while serving me and gives great recommendations. I would highly recommend the jacket potatoes and paninis for lunch, and the toffee cake for those with a sweet tooth! Can't wait for my next visit.

I have been a supporter of this charming and friendly charity cafe since it opened around 2010. A friend and I visited yesterday for brunch on June 20th, 2023. We both ordered the ham, egg, and chips with a side of bread and butter, but were disappointed with the thin, wet, tasteless, and rubbery ham. However, the chips were delicious and the egg was small and hard-fried. The side salad looked wilted. Despite these issues, they are easily fixable. I recommend that they source their ham, bacon, and sausages from local butchers like Bryan Turner in Ferndale or Glyn Hunt Sons in Rodbourne Road for better quality. The hard egg can be cooked better, and the salad should be fresher. I will give it...
