The Olive Tree — Restaurant in Scotland

The Olive Tree is now our go-to place after hill walking by Newcastleton; both for coffee or a meal. The menu isn't too busy but provides a great choice, this includes whatever is on the chalk board as a daily special.

Great access for parking at the front (especially for motorbikes as they take no space) and lovely amount of seating both inside and out. The weather meant it was an inside job. Sat at a 2 seater table but with the amount of kit we had, ended up moving to a 4 (sorry for messing you about!). Our order was taken quickly and the food brought out just as fast. Lovely breakfast, and really nice panini. The applewood smoked cheddar is gorgeous with the chutney! Priced very well, payment options include both cash and card. Very friendly staff, would...
