The Wild Olive - Menu

We have been to this restaurant quite a few times now when visiting the Lakes. The food is consistently excellent and the staff very attentive and friendly.

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. The staff were able to accommodate us without a reservation. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely fabulous Italian restaurant in Gosforth small but serving seriously good food amazingly good takeaway food! The staff are lovely a real credit to the owners chef! Would highly recommend View menu

a lively place that I would recommend to you to book if you want to eat here. we could only be put in because of a cancellation. the food and the service are both very good, we would eat here again. the only thing to stop a check was the size of the pate starter on the special menu; a tiny smoked tub for

Obviously doing very well at present. Customer care seemed nonexistent. Answerphone on in afternoon. Don't leave message. Call when open at 5p.m. At 5 p.m. still answerphone. Eventually tried to make a booking- unable to offer time. Seemed a couldn't care less attitude on the telephone. Not a recipe for a long term business?

We got the stuffed mozzarella bread with chorizo to share it was delicious could not fault it. We then got a pizza each and some wedges to share these were also delicious. Big portions and great food would get pasta next time to try as someone next to us got it and it looked stunning.

On a different night, we decided to try their takeaway service. We placed our order over the phone at 5:30pm and were told it would be ready by 7:40pm. Despite giving them 2 hours notice, when we arrived for pickup, our order had not even been started. We had to wait an additional half hour, and upon arriving home, we discovered one of the pizzas was incorrect. The food is decent, but the long wait times are not worth it. It seems they rely on the lack of competition in the area to survive.

We made a reservation for 4 adults and 2 dogs for the evening, as we had confirmed that they were allowed. We were initially seated outside while our table was being prepared. The waitress promptly took our drink and starter orders, and they arrived quickly and were delicious. However, after that, things took a turn for the worse. We waited for an hour before someone finally cleared our table and brought out our main dishes. We had to inquire about the delay, as other guests who arrived after us were already ordering and receiving their meals. While I don't mind waiting a reasonable amount of time, it felt like we were being ignored or forgotten. The staff were quick to bring the bill and re... View menu
