The Olive Tree

Residents of Nailsworth know The Olive Tree well. Early risers grab their freshly ground coffee and cooked breakfasts here, friends gather for lunch, and there's always an excuse to enjoy afternoon tea with a mouth-watering array of homemade cakes. Later in the week, families, couples and intimate groups visit for delicious evening meals and to enjoy the laid-back vibe. Owners Paddy and Sarah create a home-from-home atmosphere. Pizza and pasta are of course popular, and with good reason, but if you fancy something with a little more pizzazz perhaps try the saffron haddock broth or homemade vegetable-and-feta-stuffed pancakes. There are ample vegetarian options too, as well as vegan-friendly and gluten-free alternatives. The menu is awash with home-cooked delights, and there are some great deals to be had at lunchtimes and on Thursday and Friday evenings
