Really very nice, helpful and welcoming staff and a lovely spacious feel to the place while keeping that cosy pub feel too! Good beers and the food is of good standard and servings.

Mike

We had a lovely meal at the Olive Branch, the food was really enjoyable, and the service was super attentive. They’re really dog friendly and made us feel super welcome, can’t really fault it. Lovely pub would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Lucy

A delightful pub easy to access with ample car parking space. Sat outside with my kids in the lovely garden and enjoyed a really generous serving of fish and chips. It was a visit made even better by the friendly and attentive staff.

Stuart

We were staying at sister hotel 1777 close by so we had dinner and breakfast. Lovely warm evening and outside area was wonderful. The vegie selection on the menu was good… Breakfast was superb due to the food and great friendly service. Totally recommend!
