Reviews The Olive Leaf

Very tasty turkey sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Lots of different veg, Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets, really lovely gravy. Nice and hot. Caramel cheesecake and chocolate brownie for dessert.

A great pub along the sea front, very welcoming and happy staff, clean, with a lovely outside seating area, food was presented very well and tasted yummy

My wife and I had the pleasure of finding The Olive Leaf. It is simply superb. The staff are so friendly, polite and engaging with their customers. We had lunch and the quality, presentation and taste of the food was fantastic. There's plenty of choice for beers and lager too. Everything about this place ticks all the boxes. It was an 11 out of 10 customer experience, it was that good. If you're ever visiting Hayling Island then do give The Olive Leaf a visit, you'll be glad you did. Thanks to everyone we spoke to which contributed to our stay in your part of the World. We wish you continued success.

Lovly Pub.The staff made me feel very welcome. A genuine sense that they really did care. I notice that they were saying, hi, to alot of their regulars. I had a mixed roast. I'm a big guy. But I felt like I could of done with couple more Roast potatoes, 3 served. Only one pig in a blanket too. I did only book an half hour before I ate, don't know it that affected anything. I'm sure the amount would be adequate for the average diners. Just saying. My veg came in separate blow it had sat in the kitchen a little too long. But the contents were good quality and well cooked. Otherwise the food was lovly. Especially the cauliflower cheese, such a good flavour. I did have room for dessert tho. A Lemon marang pie, with cream. Again a little small. I was surprised to see squirty cream, alongside my pie, but it could of been frash cream piped, it tasted good tho. The pie lacked that enough lemon tang, for me. A very thin marang topping. But it was fine. A lovly touch, was a sprig of fresh mint leaves on top of my pie. That really elevated that dish, complimenting it superbly. The pub itself is clean, cosy and as I said, very friendly. Just across a main road is the beach! You can see the sea through the window. I did get to sit out the front to finish my Guinness, a pleasant view to be had. They a have a lovely outdoor space out the back. Smallish carpark, well lade out maximising the parking in that space. Overall a enjoyable pub. I will definitely be going back. I may even ask for more roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. I don't mind paying a bit more. Maybe it's me who is the pig, smiles.

Visited the Olive Leaf while on holiday on the Island, we chose this wonderful pub because it had the best reviews out of all the pubs in the area and thankfully it lived up to these reviews. The quality of the food and presentation was absolutely outstanding so much so I payed my compliments to the chef in person which to my surprise was an 19 your old chap called Josh, I have to admit I thought it would be a seasoned chef with years of experience to serve up the quality of food this young man did. All other staff were very helpful and friendly also.
