Guests rave about the friendly service at Olivers. The staff's attentiveness enhances the experience, making diners feel valued. The Sunday lunch is a standout, with many commenting on the flavorful meals and generous portions. The inclusion of a kids' menu, alongside board games for entertainment, earns the restaurant points from families. Live entertainment, particularly the weekend singers, adds to the fun, creating a vibrant atmosphere that keeps patrons coming back for more.

Most Disliked

While the overall reception remains positive, a few patrons expressed disappointment regarding the absence of lamb on the Sunday menu. Timing issues relating to food service were noted by some guests during peak hours, suggesting that busy weekends may require a bit more attention. A couple of visitors mentioned that a wider dessert selection could enhance the experience, though those who tried the desserts found them lovely. Occasional noise levels during busy events can also detract from a more intimate dining experience. However, these minor critiques do not overshadow the general delight shared by the majority of diners.

Visited your venue today, for a roast you were all very welcoming, friendly and attentive, gutted you didn't have lamb as an option, but understandably. The dinner was stunning favourite part was the raosties, although overall everything was amazing. Really enjoyed my time. There was no rush for us to leave, really pleased with my overall visit will definitely recommend. Thankyou Gemma, Joe and the oliver team there today.

We stopped at Olivers for lunch and have to say it was fantastic. The food was beautiful and arrived at the table promptly. We both enjoyed a couple of drinks with our meals which were pretty reasonably priced and also very nice. Will definitely be back .

A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at Oliver’s Restaurant. I can’t say enough about Oliver’s! The food was absolutely beautiful both in presentation and flavor. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a delight. The service was just as impressive, friendly and professional. Oliver’s is a true gem, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended! 10 out of 10!

Gemma and Joe were fab, friendly hosts. The beers were tasty and clean. We just popped in for a swift one in afternoon but will definitely be back to sample the food and watch the sports. Get on down and support this fine local pub.

Drove past and hadn’t realized it had reopened until I seen the new management sign. Me and the wife popped in for an evening meal on Friday and was outstanding! Real pub grub with a smile! Came in for a Sunday dinner and was even better! Real family atmosphere and outstanding food and pint! Can’t recommend enough
