Delicious wild mushrooms, falafel, Greek salad and sirloin steak. I'm a picky eater but couldn't fault the food at The Olive Grove. Friendly and efficient service.

About the restaurant

We're proud to say that Brighton was the second ever Bill's, and whilst it's no longer a bus depot (spoiler, it used to be a bus depot), it still transports you to the good times. Oh, and it's only up the road from the seafront, so there's no excuse to miss it, even if you get lost in the Lanes.

We had to wait to be seated as we were told that our table was ready but then advised it was given to someone else and it would be a couple of minutes. That was not true and we had to enquire if the table was then ready, to which we were seated immediately. Although we were having the set Christmas menu we were also not offered a drinks menu, we had to pull this up via our phones. The server we finally had was nice, but we had to ask to do the Cluedo activity but he was attentive when serving the food. Normally it’s been really great here but the seating and no drinks menu was not the best experience.

We were pleasantly surprised with a plate full of well cooked vegetables and meat. No complaints. It was good value for money and being Kosher it is definitely a bonus.

We had a family lunch for 5 people. We went for the vegan option on the set meal. This was an absolutely fabulous set of dishes, including a vegan duck option as a middle course. We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of the Chapel Down sparkling rose - delightful. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is attentive. Gars remains the best Chinese restaurant in Brighton. We're definitely coming back.

We were the only table in there and we had an excellent time! The 4 staff working were absolutely brilliant and made our night amazing. We turned off the Christmas tunes and had our own playlist. We just had a really lovely time. My seared Tuna was fantastic.
