The Olive Branch Café & Restaurant - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mark Craig Food was incredible! Mussels, Scallops and Prawns with the chilli and ginger sauce were amazing. Steak melted in your mouth, the garlic, shallot and mushroom went great with it. Lovely setting, very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be going back. Very Impressed.

Nigel Barker Called last night and the food was excellent, nearly didnt due to other reviews glad I ignored them.

Lizzie The most fabulous afternoon tea! Everything was so fresh and tasty, huge portion and great value for money. We took food home, presentation was amazing and staff were really friendly

Shiv - Pure joy on a plate – no exaggeration! The food here was one of the highlights of my stay in Oxford. As a vegan it’s so hard getting a decent meal in a casual setting but this place is like an oasis. I was practically salivating watching the person in front of me having their order made. The guy serving (seemed like owner/manager?) was so lovely and let me select a bit of everything. Food was 10/10 for freshness, flavour, nutrition and variety. The pics speak for themselves, and what is shown only cost me £10 odd (including kombucha), which is a steal for sitting in eating such wholesome food. Falafel was also top notch. I got spicy sauce but could’ve tolerated more heat, though didn’t miss anything because the flavours were POW. Overall, if I lived here I’d probably be in this place several times a week. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the chef was also super friendly. Keep up the magic, CHICK PEA. you’ve got something special here.

Cris Arama Saw someone walking down the street with a sandwich that looked so good I asked them where they got it. I got one for myself (roasted vegetables with mozarella and salad on olive ciabatta) and it was absolutely incredible. It was as big as my head, so I ate half for breakfast and half for lunch. The service was really quick and friendly, the sandwich was really tasty, and the price was reasonable given the portion size. Would definitely come back!

Stephen Nichols Words completely fail, this has to be one of the bestest ever restaurants we’ve been in to! We came here for my mum’s birthday and had the La Carte Menu, the food and drinks were delish plus all the staff and service was superb! The recommended dishes… Crispy Lemon & Pepper Calamari, Wild Mushrooms, Gusto Dough Petals, Three Meat Ragu Lasagne, Ragu Pappardelle, Caponata and Mixed Salad. The final touch was when they brought out the birthday surprise, a chocolate mousse with edible petals, strawberries and Blackberries with a birthday candle on! Would absolutely most definitely come back again and would love again to say thank you to all the staff who were serving on the evening of 29th Oct 2025
