We ate as a family for my wife's birthday. The website is misleading it says that it is fine dining and that it offers elegant dining with dishes from our fine a la carte and grill menus It definitely isn't and doesn't I will...attach photos of the plastic covered menus we were given to illustrate this. We ate fish and chips, steaks and lamb all adequate if we'd been in a down market pub but nothing as promised on the web site.The prices were incredible for what we had. The Olive Tree is inside of a hotel called Durrant House and is probably more about catering for hotel guests on packages.The decor is bizarre with no sign of the promised Victorian candlelit charm and while we were there the...

We visited a restaurant that was advertised as a fine dining establishment with a decent menu selection. Despite having reservations, we were surprised to find that we were seated at one of the tables in the restaurant. The appetizers were beautifully presented and set high expectations for the rest of the meal. However, most of the main courses were just okay, with some issues like hair found in one dish and a overly hot salad in another. The cheese pizza, which was supposed to be a special treat for cheese lovers, turned out to be a frozen Chicago Town pizza. When we questioned the staff about this, the chef had already left and the acting deputy manager was rude and unhelpful. He offered...

We chose this restaurant because it was advertised as Fine Dining with an A La Carte menu. In reality it was Pub Fayre at best and disappointing. The menu had dishes such as burgers,scampi and chips and so on. The only sauces you were going...to get was the ketchup kind. It was fine if you like pub food in a decent setting, but it certainly was not Fine Dining. We had dressed up for the occasion but found ourselves surrounded by other customers wearing shorts, t-shirts, jeans and trainers which is not the etiquette you would expect in a Fine Dining restaurant. We mentioned politely to the Manager that the experience was not Fine Dining and that we were disappointed but he seemed a bit in-dif...

Our daughter booked a table at The Olive Tree as a present for our Wedding Anniversary. We were originally going to have a Cream Tea, but decided to have dinner instead and I am so glad that we did! My husband had Hunters Chicken and...I had Spaghetti Bolognese and we both agreed it was the best meal we have had in a restaurant. The lady who looked after us was delightful and very friendly, efficient and helpful. We were so impressed that we booked a table then and there for my Birthday. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in and around Bideford then I highly recommend you try it out. Book a table now

Our group of four made a reservation for Sunday Lunch at The Olive Tree Restaurant. The food was fantastic, filling, and served hot. A big thank you to the attentive restaurant staff who took great care of us. I found out that the beef came from a nearby butcher shop. To top it off, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert included in the special £12.50 price. We enjoyed our experience so much that we have already reserved a table for Christmas Day Lunch.

very poor service and eating quite poor as well as great lack of any seasonal and also not very well cooked. also plastic-covered menus were not cleaned after they were saved again, salt and pepper pots were dirty! would not eat there definitiw again.

Do not visit this restaurant. If they have any sense, they would have read the negative reviews and avoided this place. Everything is prepared from frozen ingredients and lacks flavor. I regret dining here and would not recommend it. Book a table now

Good choice of food although specials board could do with changing more often. Restaurant itself is a nod to the Orient Express in styling.
