Reviews
We were looking for somewhere for lunch and stumbled across the Olive Grove. At first, we thought they were closed as it looked dark through the windows. When we got inside we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff offering to find us a table and insisting they were open! I think there were two other customers in there, so it was very quiet. (the number of customers is often an indication how good a place is, so I was a little cautious). Anyway, I needn’t have worried. It turned out to be a lovely place to stop for lunch. I suspect as it’s a Bistro and a little tucked away, their evening trade will be their most busy time. The staff were very helpful and the service prompt. The decafe tea was good and the food excellent. I had a platter on a wooded board, with chunks of different types of bread, cheese, olives, salad and cold meats. It was delightful! By the time we walked out I felt I had just sampled a taste of Spain.
A wonderful independent restaurant in Worksop. We received a warm welcome, top-notch tapas, and lovely wine. The service was friendly and efficient. Really enjoyed it here. A lovely place, a highlight of our day out, and would definitely go again.
Had delicious tapas selection including really nice gluten free bread. Lovely flavours and a nice friendly vibe. One of us is coeliac and no side effects experienced. The guy who served us was friendly, professional and knew about cross contamination. Would definitely recommend this place and hope to go back again.
What a wonderful afternoon we had celebrating a friend's birthday. Tapas was delicious and the service was above and beyond, we enjoyed a very special afternoon, they even opened up the little courtyard so we could sit in the sunshine We loved the relaxed Mediterranean vibe and could have stayed all day. A real hidden gem.
Came up to Worksop for a quick night stay and had dinner here. It was really lovely. The place was packed too so the atmosphere was buzzing — staff were also attentive and kind. The food was so tasty. We had the baked Camembert to share and then had pasta/ lasagna for mains. Can’t fault the place! 10/10 would recommend.
