We have been to the Stuffed Olive many times over the years and it never disappoints. The menu is always interesting and the food is well prepared and excellent quality. My only comment is that you need to be prepared to pay ‘London’ prices: £60 per head including drinks without being extravagant.

Awful. Slow service. I mean really slow. Waited 40 mins for a bottle of wine and a kids apple juice. Food was awful, Childs pizza was shop brought, and the burger was over cooked and dry. Chocolate cake was dry. Not even an average meal.

First time we had been there. We booked very early on a Tuesday evening so only one other table occupied - and it is a relatively spartan setting - so it was a tad quiet! The upside was that service was immaculate - and friendly. We were exploring venues to take posh friends for a meal. The food was excellent - nicely imaginative and looked good on the plate. We drank Pinot Grigio (yawn!) but it was a truly impressive bottle so very enjoyable. We're coming back.

Although food was good, found several hairs in my dinner, they asked how it was so I mentioned the hairs and showed them, the manager came out and said that they couldn’t have been from anyone in their kitchen. I didn’t expect anything I just mentioned it to make them aware, but their response was very disappointing, will not be dining there again.
