The Olive Tree Cafe And - Mole Valley

Disappointing food which is a shame as the venue staff are good. Aromatic duck panini was packed with duck in an overly spiced sauce, far too sloppy for a panini. The brie bacon panini had very little bacon or brie far too much cranberry which I had to scrape out as it tasted more like a jam sandwich. Drinks were fine. Floor needs a good clean, crumbs debris which looked quite old under our table. It won't stop us returning to the garden centre but next time it'll just be for plants coffee instead of lunch.

Have been here before and it was very average. With limited other options we came again recently and was very disappointed. The menu is pretty basic and uninspiring. And the food is very expensive £9.95 for a jacket potato with cheese and beans! . I went for the sausage panini with cheese and tomato chutney. The sausages must have been the most basic, budget sausages they could find. Probably from the Tesco value range. No texture, grey, processed to within an inch of their lives. Took one bite and left them. For a £10 sandwich, the least I'd expect is decent ingredients! My son had the kids pizza. Was ok. My wife enjoyed her sandwich and that did look good to be fair, but was still overpriced. £3.50 for a coffee and £2.75 for a can of drink, came to around £35 in total. I don't mind paying a premium for food, if the food itself and the ingredients are good. But this really wasn't. Also, the cafe/restaurant area was filthy. We sat towards the back where the tables have bench seats up against the wall. My young son dropped his pencil so had to get down on the floor to retrieve it. There was old food, napkins, dust, and all sorts under the chair. Hadn't had a proper clean for weeks and weeks. Not acceptable. This place feels like it's resting on it's laurels in a nice part of Surrey with a constant flow of people, they can charge what they like and people will pay it. Poor quality, expensive prices, and poor cleanliness means we won't be returning. There's hundreds of alternatives around where £35 will get your a great lunch. Visit those instead.

Called by Saturday for some lunch. Of the four people behind the counter no ne wanted to serve us,much to the amusement of the young boy serving. The filthy look I received from one of the girls serving completely shocked me and we left immediately. We will never return and will advise others not to. This will also have an effect on the garden centre,even tho this is not a reflection of them,we generally go these places to browse the garden centre and always stop for food

The service was very good and food was delicious, more food available if needed. Penny was checking regularly on us to see if we needed anything.

We reserved a private room for a baby shower and the staff were incredibly helpful in accommodating our dietary needs. Poppy, our server, made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
