I hope they have not been too badly effected by Wetherspoons but now that the summer is here Wetherspoons has no chance of my custom. The garden is the place to be who wants to sit in a smokers den surrounded by just plain fence panels. Olive branch has open space and the sunshine why would you go anywhere else???
Excellent member of staff at the Olive Branch in Wimborne. I didn't ask the ladies name but she was excellent. Very attentive and made us feel very welcome. She was serving at the top part of the restuarant (where the woodburner is) and had green/blue earings! People are quick to complain so wanted to express how impressed we were. Atmosphere always good but food/menu could do with changing a bit more often but always a good night out.

ReportWe love the ambience in the Olive Branch and have found the range of beers and wines good, if a little on the expensive side. Service fluctuates, sometimes excellent and sometimes a bit haphazard. Food is the issue - it's not bad but needs to be either a bit better or a bit cheaper. Would be good if it was 'restaurant' standard rather then expensive 'pub grub', for which it is NOT cheap. We always feel we have paid a lot for what we have had. Needs attention to detail to be just that bit better.
One of my favorite places to dine. I've never been unhappy with the service or my meal when dining here and prefer it to anywhere else in Wimborne. I'm also glad they don't allow children in the bar area. An excellent place to go for those of us who don't have children.

A really excellent restaurant with a fantastic outdoor area available all year round. Each table is covered by umbrella which keeps the sun off in the summer and the rain when it gets a little wet. There are also patio heaters to keep you warm during the winter. The food is fantastic, the service excellent and the drinks available plentiful. If I have a criticism it would be that now there is a smoking ban all the outside tables are used for smokers, when really they should have a section for non smokers who want to eat outside. But all in all it is a fantastic place to eat.
The Olive Branch in East Borough, Wimborne is a fantastic gastropub that offers quality food and drink in a stylish setting. Theres an extensive beer garden, complete with patio heaters so that you can sit outside late into the year. The service is good even when busy.
