    Best place to eat in Basingstoke. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. We constantly go back to The Olive House to eat, never had a poor experience. This time we went with my brother and sister and thier partners and they left buzzing about this place.

    We had a lovely meal at the Olive House. The food was excellent as was the service. The restaurant had a great atmosphere even though it was busy. We would highly recommend the Olive House as a great place to eat.
