The Olive Tree

Just been to Cornwall camping, On the off chance that we could get a table we called into this restaurant on our last evening. Luckily someone had cancelled and the proprietor gave us the best seat in the house as far as I am concerned, Very bubbly host, very attentive, left plenty of time between courses to make sure we were ready. You MUST book to guarantee a table. I had brown crab meat mousse on bruschetta with pear compote, white crab meat garnish and baby pickled pear. My partner has squid and chorizo in a type of broth. Both meals were lovely, I could have eaten helping after helping of the crab mousse even though they were of a substantial size. We both had crab linguine with chilli and lemon and again it was lovely, not too spicy, a nice hint of lemon, The only downside to this menu was the dessert, we were very full but we did look at the dessert choices to see what was available but nothing was really inspiring compared to the rest of the menu. A lovely refreshing sorbet with fresh fruit would have been quite nice instead of ice cream. We declined the dessert, however highly recommended, average, price, cost me £51.00 for the two us which included 2 beers and a lemonade.
