The Olive Tree
Blimey ! That’s a bit of a demolition job they’ve done on the Olive Tree on the main page of this site.“The restaurant/bar is situated …on the corner of Perrers Road and Acklam Road”; no it isn’t, it’s on the corner of Perrers Road and Atwood Road.“I left thinking about Café Rouge’s Steak Baguettes that I’ve enjoyed on numerous occasions in a more agreeable environment for not a great difference in price.” Café Rouge’s baguettes are nearly £3 more, so about a 50% difference in price. Whether the Olive Tree environment is more agreeable to Cafe Rouge (which it is, IMHO) is down to personal taste, I suppose.I’ve been to The Olive Tree dozens of times and will continue to do so. I've have had no issue with the staff, described by the writer describes as ‘cold’ and ‘surly’, in fact I find them to be very nice.You seldom see a bad review on this site; to single-out The Olive Tree for such a pasting is a bit if a surprise ! OK, it’s not exceptional, but it does what it does pretty well and is a good place to have close-by.Would the writer care to justify their negativity with some facts rather than just “the feeling that something was not quite right” ?
