Best Restaurants for Foodies in Hunstrete

We had a couple of cocktails to start which were SO flavourful and interesting. When the food arrived we were blown away - the pork cheeks were out of this world! Don't miss this place when you visit Midsomer Norton!

We visited The Olive Tree on Friday evening for their seven-course tasting menu, and overall, we had a fantastic evening. On arrival, we received a lovely warm welcome into the restaurant. It was relatively quiet, with only a small number of other guests dining, which made for a really relaxed and intimate atmosphere. We were presented with an excellent wine list, and the staff were extremely helpful in guiding us towards a wine that would complement the tasting menu. The wine selection was quite expensive, but that’s perhaps to be expected at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Throughout the evening, we were looked after by a number of different members of staff and chefs, all of whom were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Each course was brought out and explained in detail, including the ingredients, flavours and techniques used to create the dishes. This really added to the experience and gave us a greater appreciation of the food. The food itself was absolutely outstanding. We were genuinely blown away by the quality, presentation, flavours, textures and colours of every dish. Each course was an experience in its own right, and the standard of cooking was exceptional. We were at the restaurant from around 7 pm until 10.30 pm, so it was quite a lengthy dining experience. On occasion, we did feel the wait between courses was a little longer than necessary, although that’s probably us being a little picky. We had a brilliant night. The food was genuinely out of this world, and the team did a fantastic job of making the tasting menu an experience rather than simply a meal. A restaurant we would certainly recommend for the quality of its food, and an evening we thoroughly enjoyed.

Outstanding! What a find: a truly authentic Italian restaurant. Brilliant food, staff, ambience and value. We live in Bath and this has leapt to the top of our list. We will be back

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Arguably the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever ate at!

Really lovely staff who were extremely helpful at dealing with my food sensitivity. Delicious food. Would highly recommend.
