The Fig And Olive - North Warwickshire

A meal for a school friend reunion. We hadn’t seen each other since leaving school 49 years ago. I suggested this place as I had visited for lunch last year and was well impressed. My friends came over from Kings Heath and Heighters Heath but said it was well worth the distance and would be going again. Knew the Fig and Olive wouldn’t let me down. Thank you.

Went for Sunday Lunch. Not too busy when we arrived and there were plenty of young people waiting on but they seemed more interested in chatting by the till than engaging with diners. The Manager was around but this didn't seem to make any difference. Got served eventually but the waitress did not offer a smile or any kind of enthusiasm, just had a bored expression. Food good but not as good as on a previous occasion. Beef was not as tender and not that much of it for the price. Wasn't asked if we wanted more drinks by our waitress so called her over once my sons said they didn't want another drink she scooted off without waiting to see if my husband and I wanted one so needed to flag down another waitress. Noticed other diners needing to ask for menus etc despite lots of servers being around, they were just standing chatting. This is a lovely place but the experience on Sunday was not comparable to previous occasions. Won't rush back for a while but will probably give it another go but when it is quieter as the service and food seemed better then.

Booked a table at 11am for 3 people last Sunday but did not get served until midday which was a lengthy wait. Otherwise a very nice meal.

Superb venue. Excellent food and service. Brilliant location for meeting friends and family in the Midlands . Always good .
