The Wild Olive

About The Wild Olive

Booked out on a Tuesday in a small coastal town tells you most of what you need to know, so ring ahead rather than chancing it with tired children. The wood-fired oven is the heart of it — the Wolive with caramelised onion and chilli jam, the spicy meatball, and generous pizzas for the price, plus stuffed bread and truffle-and-parmesan potatoes that arrive in proper wedges. Gluten-free pasta is done well, there are vegan options and a kids' menu, and high chairs and buggy access mean you're not wrestling the pram at the door. Free parking helps. Outdoor seating is the calmer choice with little ones — one family found sitting outside "restful" — because inside is warm and busy, and if the tables are full you may end up perched at the bar counter.
