Olio restaurant has lovely staff, a great atmosphere but most of all I was impressed with the number of GF options. I could have almost everything on the menu!

Lovely terrace to enjoy an al fresco lunch. Beautiful gardens. Decent wine list and upscale food. Mediterranean style. We had lamb meatballs and avocado mozzarella small plates. Circa £30 pp.

We went to Homewood Park Olio restaurant for a Sunday lunch to celebrate my parents anniversary. We ordered 3 roast dinners, 2 beef sirloin and 1 pork loin with extra cauliflower cheeses. When the food arrived, we noticed it wasn’t warm at all, the side of cauliflower cheeses was lukewarm. We had to order extra gravy as there wasn’t much on our plates. Even the gravy wasn’t warm. So my dad went up to complain about the temperature of the food, and the lady turnt round and said “would you like a refund” and my dad replied “no, I’ve come out for lunch and would like to eat please” as we wanted to enjoy a nice Sunday roast dinner and to leave full. Another lady (dressed in a blue floral dress with dark hair) came and took our plates away, there was no apology with this, she came across very unprofessional as she sighed multiple times and made us feel uncomfortable for wanting warm food and the fact we are paying high prices, we expected good service. She even questioned “do you want new cauliflower cheeses” in a very abrupt manor. When the same waitress came out with our new roasts, she placed them down and said “don’t touch the plates as they are boiling hot” and she raised her voice in a manor to get everyone’s attention and carried on shaking her hands saying “Jesus Christ they were boiling plates” almost to get a dig out of us as we wanted warm food. This left us feeling uncomfortable again as people were looking round at us like we were the problem. Other than this, our 2nd lot of roasts were tasty and the gentleman who cleared our table was very apologetic about our food and was very professional about the situation. We have been here before for my birthday dinner and you could not fault the food at all, we were very excited to come back and unfortunately we left very disappointed.
