On a weekend away we stayed 5 mins walk away and were recommended The Oliver Twist as a local choice for eating out. We were not disappointed. We had ham hock scotch egg and buffalo wing for starters, and mslayan curry for main course. Everything was hot , tasty and a really decent sized portion. We loved it so much we returned the following night for some delicious Honey and Garlic Chicken legs and a Lasagne which would take some beating anywhere. Beautiful home cooked food, friendly and helpful service. Best home cooked pub food we've had for a long time. Highly recommend

An amazing hidden gem. The food was amazing & the service was first class. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I can't remember the last time I struggled to eat such a delicious meal as the portions are extremely large. The restaurant has a family vibe and everything is spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms. We will be returning very soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening .

This is our go to restaurant for any family celebration or Sunday roast. You can guarantee a delicious meal every time you visit! The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to fit you in where possible. The Oliver twist has been our favorite place for 5 years now, and with living over an hour away doesn't put us off returning.
