The Olive Tree - Carte

We reserved a private room for a baby shower and the staff were incredibly helpful in accommodating our dietary needs. Poppy, our server, made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

This is a go-to local cafe when walking with friends. It's very chilled and whilst the cafe itself is quite cavernous and feels a bit canteeny, it does mean it's always possible to find a table (which one needs to do before ordering at the counter)

The customer service experienced in the cafe today was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond their remit to look after us in unusual circumstances and particular thanks to Fiona for her solicitousness and care. The coffee is delicious! Highly recommended. Voir le carte

We had lunch at the Olive Tree. I ordered the cheese sandwich, which was quite pricey at £8.50. When it was served, I had trouble finding the cheese. The presentation was lacking, so I had to send it back and request more cheese, which was brought to me in a separate bowl. See attached photo.

Called by Saturday for some lunch. Of the four people behind the counter no ne wanted to serve us,much to the amusement of the young boy serving. The filthy look I received from one of the girls serving completely shocked me and we left immediately. We will never return and will advise others not to. This will also have an effect on the garden centre,even tho this is not a reflection of them,we generally go these places to browse the garden centre and always stop for food

Disappointing food which is a shame as the venue staff are good. Aromatic duck panini was packed with duck in an overly spiced sauce, far too sloppy for a panini. The brie bacon panini had very little bacon or brie far too much cranberry which I had to scrape out as it tasted more like a jam sandwich. Drinks were fine. Floor needs a good clean, crumbs debris which looked quite old under our table. It won't stop us returning to the garden centre but next time it'll just be for plants coffee instead of lunch.

We had my mother's wake at this restaurant on Wednesday, December 13th. The service, food, and attention to every detail were exceptional without any exceptions. We were able to enter through the side doors and were welcomed by a professional and attentive staff. They accommodated our party of 55 people, although we only had 40 guests. The buffet featured delicious hot and cold dishes, individual cakes, warm scones with jam and cream, and a constant supply of tea, coffee, and juice. This was a truly exceptional farewell for my mother, and the Poppy and her team played a major role in making it special. Thank you.

My Daughter and I recently visited Ashtead Garden Centre for the Christmas Shopping Evening. We decided to make a night of it, and have dinner in the cafe afterwards. The cafe was very quiet, considering it was a special evening. Maybe this should have warned us of what was to come. My Daughter went up to order. She was kept waiting a while, although there were numerous young girls standing doing nothing. She ordered a Brie, cranberry and bacon panini for me,with sweet potato fries. She ordered the same panini minus the bacon for herself, with normal chips. When the food came out, my panini had been left out, so I had to go and re order this. There was no cutlery in the containers at the cou...

Have been here before and it was very average. With limited other options we came again recently and was very disappointed. The menu is pretty basic and uninspiring. And the food is very expensive £9.95 for a jacket potato with cheese and beans! . I went for the sausage panini with cheese and tomato chutney. The sausages must have been the most basic, budget sausages they could find. Probably from the Tesco value range. No texture, grey, processed to within an inch of their lives. Took one bite and left them. For a £10 sandwich, the least I'd expect is decent ingredients! My son had the kids pizza. Was ok. My wife enjoyed her sandwich and that did look good to be fair, but was still overpric... Voir le carte
