We were in the area and a friend recommended this restaurant. We weren't disappointed. The food is excellent with friendly service. It is run as a charity to give jobs to those with learning disabilities as The volunteer Manager explained to us late that evening. So very lovely.

The good restaurants in Ironbridge book up in advance. Although popular, the Olive Tree wasn't necessarily our first choice and we did have to wait until 8:30pm on Saturday night to get our table. The Olive Tree is run as a charity but don't let that dissuade you. It has a limited menu but the food is superb. I had... More

Great food but we had to wait AGES for the food to arrive! The waiter was friendly but the menu needed a bit more to choose from as there was only something like 5 main meals.

We visited here in late 2011 and the place was great then. Scroll forward to 2013 and the food we've just eaten is as good as ever. Very friendly service, very fair prices - what more does anyone want? If you're looking for a decent place to eat in Ironbridge you could do much worse than the Olive Tree.

We discovered The Olive Tree quite by chance and what a piece of luck. Where do I start? The food was exquisite and beautifully presented food, the staff were so friendly and you felt that they really cared both about their work and their customers, the surroundings were beautiful and the restaurant was absolutely spotless. All of that at a... More

Really enjoyed a good meal here with friends close to the famous Iron Bridge. What an interesting menu and an interesting building overlooking the Ironbridge Gorge. Friendly service and very good food beautifully presented. There are a number of places to eat around here - choose this one first! Real ale on tap - a pint of Stonehouse's Station bitter... More

Not been for several months but our Guests had been returning full of praise. So, as friends were coming for lunch we booked at The Olive Tree. The sun shone (for a while) and we had pre lunch drinks and a cheeses & olive platter sitting on the patio, enjoying the view of The Iron Bridge, then moved inside as... More

Sunday evening and we had nothing booked so wandered the main drag in Ironbridge, looking for a place to eat. Two couples were going in to the Olive Tree and said it was good. We followed and had a very pleasant evening. The food was of a high standard and the service excellent. Recommended.

We'd been to this place when it was in different hands, and not enjoyed the experience, so have trotted past ever since. But yesterday evening (Sunday) we wanted to eat out after my wife had run a day's workshop, so went a-hunting. Of course, loads of places that would attract us don't open/serve on Sundays, and we were not attracted... More
