I was recommended to try The Olive Tree for tea one evening by a friend and after weeks of putting the idea off, I finally caved in on Thursday evening. For what I thought was just a regular trip to the local chippy turned out to be quite something else.
The Olive Tree is essentially two different take aways rolled into one which compensates for everybodys individual needs. It has the british classic, fish and chip shop menu which offers a variety of different types of fish from Hake to Haddock. The Olive Tree then has the Meditterranean aspect of the menu which offers shish kebab meat, king prawns and other types of fish such as salmon and seabass, all of which is cooked on an open flame grill right in front of your eyes. Each item is served in a tray with a side portion of salad and homemade rice.
I decided to suprise the wife and kids and bring home a selection of shish kebabs,
chicken x2, lamb and sheftali. Each kebab was served in a pitta bread with salad which was beautifully presented! I also added a seperate portion of chips just in case!
One of the most impressive elements of the experience was the customer service. The young lady who served me was brilliant, and offered to give me a wide variety of sauces to take home and test with the family.
The shop itself is aesthetically pleasing and whoever was responsible for putting it together deserves a big pat on the back. The cleanliness of the shop was also immaculate. As mentioned earlier, the staff were welcoming, assuring and understanding; and most importantly the food was absolutely brilliant, 10 out of 10!
Its difficult to put into words how impressed I was with The Olive Tree however I felt compelled to write a review. I just wish i had went sooner! Keep up the good work.
Highly Recommended! read more
