read moreThe Olive Tree in Bideford boasts a fine dining concept, yet many guests feel disappointed by its execution. While some diners appreciate the comfortable, old-world ambiance and commendable service, others criticize the quality of food, citing frozen dishes and a lack of flavor. Despite a promising menu, the experience often resembles that of a pub rather than a fine dining establishment. Occasional highlights include friendly staff and decent meals, but issues with cleanliness and inconsistent standards mar the overall impression. While some patrons leave satisfied, others advise caution before booking a table.
