Olive Tree Brasserie Stockton Heath

The restaurant owner is vegan, so everything on the menu, including cocktails and wine, is clearly labeled. There are many creative vegan options available, such as vegan chick'n. I thoroughly enjoyed both the evening menu and Sunday menu.

This restaurant puts in a good effort with plenty of options available. All hot drinks can be made vegan with a variety of plant milks, and all vegan cocktails are clearly marked as such. We tried the vegan roast, the chick'n was just okay and the Yorkshire pudding was more like a dumpling. The sweet potato falafel had a nice flavour with a little bit of heat. We also tried a selection of starters, resembling a tapas style. Overall, the food was good and we would consider returning. They offer a lot of vegan desserts, in fact, there are more vegan options than non-vegan options which is great.

I recently went for lunch at this restaurant. The service was excellent, with all the staff being very friendly and talkative. The decor is beautiful and the food was delicious. I tried the vegan jackfruit gyros and chips, and the waitress was knowledgeable about vegan options and helped me make a decision. The prices were reasonable for the area, and I would definitely go back again. They also have a special 'Veganuary' offer where you get a free vegan meal with a cocktail purchase, which is a nice touch. #Veganuary.

Myself and a friend booked after seeing the January offer 50% . As we arrived and were seated I asked the waitress to clarify we would be eligible for the offer and she explained that was fine and then highlighted the dishes not included. Slow drinks service and took a while to order. Many dishes unavailable due to a supplier issue. We opted for gyros and asked for one without the hot sauce, which I think probably isn’t uncommon as many don’t like spice. Food took a while and my friends gyros arrived covered in hot sauce. We asked if it was the hot sauce and before we could finish waiter abruptly replied it’s on the menu, it’s what you’ve ordered. Yes it is on the menu however we had asked for it without and told it was fine. He did then offer to change it however didn’t seem thrilled. A new gyros returned however by then mine was cold. After our meal we asked for the bill. Realised the 50% hadn’t been removed. When we asked it was because the online booking didn’t quote the offer. Again the tone was almost argumentative, rude and abrupt. I would have been absolutely fine with not receiving the offer had I missed it on the terms and conditions if we hadn’t asked for clarification before ordering and when seated that we could use the 50% off. Overall the menu looks good if not running on limited availability due to suppliers, the food is quite nice but honestly it felt like us visiting was a problem from being greeted to leaving as the staff were very unfriendly.

Have eaten here a feel times and never been disappointed. Really professional and friendly service, great vegan options, especially the veganury special on now. The food is fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere cozy and vibey. Thanks Nicole for the great service on our last visit.
