about us

We are a family owned, Mediterranean Restaurant in Bridport Dorset known for cooking delicious, fresh, local food.

Our food is cooked to order in our open kitchen so we are happy to change dishes to suit dietary needs or personal tastes. 

The Olive Tree is committed to providing great food & friendly service.

local & fresh

We always try to source ingredients locally. As well as using local merchants & traders, we also buy direct from small growers, vineyards, brewers & fisherman to bring you the freshest, high quality food & drink from around this beautiful town.

However, sometimes only the authentic ingredient will do, for example, our Ice Cream is Italian, but if you've got a local product that you think we can use, come in and have a chat with Simon or John.


We offer different events and deals.

We can organise private catering events like weddings and parties.

Depending on the size of your group, we may also be able to offer you a private dining room.

Email me at mail@olivetreerestaurant.net and we'll get together for a chat over a coffee.
