The Olive Tree Cafe And

Wonderful afternoon tea. Amazing food and service. We had a wake there after a funeral. The stuff was so nice, and the select we had for afternoon tea could not be faulted. They did use and themselves proud

Visited today with friends for lunch which went onto coffee and cake. Tasty prawn sandwich on delicious multi grain bread. Service very friendly and very quick. One of the better garden centre cafes around the area.

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon tea. Ben our waiter and all the other staff were really kind and helpful to my family. The cakes and sandwiches were presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. There was a good range of choice and they...

I’ve visited this really quiet place for a second time after a horrible experience on my first visit and nothing has change, at least nothing for better. Second visit and last one for me! I’ve ordered this morning a Chai Tea Late which is OBVIOUSLY...

Service was terrible. We waited an hour for our food and when it arrived one person was left out. When we asked for the other meal, they said they had run out of jacket potatoes and asked him to order something else! He had to leave to go back to work (hungry! . Plus his food was on bill!

We live on Epsom Downs and used to LOVE coming here for family lunches, particularly the pizzas. Several months ago lots of items were off the menu when we came in, and the waitress admitted that the entire kitchen staff had walked out without notice earlier in the week. Must have been some disagreement!

We have been to this cafe/restaurant many times in the past, when it was bustling, good food, good service. We 've tried a few times since and each time it seems to get worse. The staff seem to change every time, the place is never busy. If you want a nice relaxing coffee in a peaceful surrounding then this is for you. For anything else.....forget it. Why they persist with table service when every other successful garden centre restuarant does not, confuses me.

We booked to take a lady of 92 for afternoon tea. When we arrived we were told to sit anywhere, I asked if we were going to have a table cloth at which stage a creased stained cloth was put on the table. Tea was brought out and then the sandwiches etc. We sat for about five minutes until we could get a member of staff to bring us plates. At no time did anyone approach us to see if we needed more tea or if it was to our satisfaction. On complaining I was told they had been very busy at lunch time and were not very organised to which I said that was not our problem. I was also told that they had given us extra food to compensate which we had not asked for. I asked to see the Manager but she/he...

We really wanted to like this place, having had four disasters in a row we’ve finally given up trying. The service every time has been shockingly slow I’m sure we were forgotten each time. The first time I waited an hour after ordering to then be given (a vegetarian something I couldn’t eat, they tried to force it on me and I finally left without paying or eating anything as what I’d actually ordered wasn’t available (nor were any other veggie options . Another time I turned up and no staff had made it in so they shut the cafe (wasted journey , another time I spent time queuing at the till to order only to be told later to sit down for table service to then be forgotten and then finally have...
