If you don't like Indian or Italian the choice of restaurants is a little lacking in Iron bridge so book yourself a table to avoid disappointment. The Olive Tree is a 'true' restaurant, the choice is very good, the service is excellent and attentive and the food is very good value. I had the rib eye steak which was the... More

We chanced on The Olive Tree when looking for a meal on Sunday evening. This was our first visit in its current guise, but we had eaten there many times under previous ownership so thought there would be a chance of catching the last of the evening sunshine in the rear courtyard. We were right! The menu is fairly short,... More

The only real venue in Ironbridge 'proper' to have a riverside patio garden. Quiet and tucked away, a bit of a hidden gem this - I am almost lothe to 'spill the beans'!! The bistro wine bar has a smallish menu but this means everything is fresh, and cooked to order, the staff are friendly, the atmosphere unhurried and the... More

Presentation was superb. A limited menu but that shows it is all freshly prepared. OK the service is not the fastest but if you go out for a nice evening then why hurry a good thing. Friendly staff and very good value. The perfect end to our week away

Lovely little Bistro in the heart of historic Ironbridge. We had a good light lunch on the sunny terrace at the back and thought it would be a good place to eat at night if you were staying over. The staff were friendly and helpful and the menu was inviting.

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.
