I visited The Olive Garden for a last-minute dinner with friends. The restaurant had a cute and simple design with outdoor seating. I couldn't get any of the meat dishes, but there was a good variety of vegetarian and sea food options on the menu. The pizza was honestly the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. My friend who got the spaghetti bolonaise, which came with a generous helping of cheese, really enjoyed that too. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here and will definitely recommend it to others.
Only negetive is that it was a little difficult to get the waiters' attention as there were only two of them working. But they were very friendly and accommodating.
Cafè 46 and The Olive Garden are run by the same people. During the day Cafè 46 is open and in the evening it's The Olive Garden. I love going there, even though I no longer live in the area. I am able to get some work done while having a good lunch or simply a cup of tea.
Today I had a quiche and salad for lunch. It was really good. The quiche had lamb in it. I love lamb. Good healthy meal with a great cup of coffee - cappuccino of course. And I absolutely love the idea that the salad comes in a little fire bucket.
Fabulous Italian restaurant. Recommended to book in advance as it is not too big. Food is superb, very attentive staff. I tried the Gamberonni al aglio for starters and the chicken milanesse and an affogatto for dessert. All 3 choices were perfect.
Beautiful restaurant! Lovely staff and delicious food and drinks.

This family run Italian restaurant is a big hit with the local community and by passing visitors alike.
Its one of THE places to be seen for lunch where I would advise a reservation at weekends as its busy
A warm welcome sets the mood for a relaxed atmosphere to unwind for the odd hour or two. with friends or alone
Seating capacity is for 48 customers when full so best get there early to avoid disappointment.
Choose their set menu or go for house,
Sea food dishes a must. And do look at the daily board above the bar for off menu options.
The Olive Garden has been around for some 12 years thou there has been a restaurant here as far back as I can recall and that is some 35 year's
Long may it continue.
Good value for money. Portions were generous and the quality of the food decent - great for an easy weekday dinner out.
Service was very slow. Food was good. Quantity was generous.
Dropped by for a quick bite to eat on our way to somewhere else. Food was fast and tasty. Sign up to mailing list online and get money off, sun- Thurs (I think)
Great local restaurant.
Tasty food, good proportion and reasonably priced.
I changed Penne to Spaghetti for Carbonara and my friends ordered Seafood Spaghetti which normally comes in tomato sauce but they asked for cream sauce instead.
They all impressed with the cream sauce - smell of white wine in the sauce was superb!
Carbonara was average - it would be nicer to taste the more of thick egg york .
First time. Lovely great pasta and pizza. Forgot to take pics cause I enjoyed it that much 😁. Will be back.
The food was tasty but not authentic Italian. The garlic bread is more of a garlic naan. The pasta was tasty but more of a fusion.
Been here many times. Limited menu but most items well executed. Pricing is reasonable. Decent pizzas+pastries. They now have outdoor seating , which is ideal for mums with babes.. Park at council carpark by Waitrose, £0.30p only for 1.5hrs. Great for shoppers wanting a quick bite and some caffeine
