Typical of this chain, excellent menu choices, also have gluten and dairy free options. Staff are friendly. Was a little warm inside on a hot day so could do with the ability to open a window for some fresh air (we were upstairs) or crack on the air con!
Had amazing brunch at the Chakra Lounge today. Perfect comfort food. Drinks to recommend Turmeric latte and Dirty Chai Latte. Food to recommend gluten free breakfast and the Tikka eggs Benedict with mushrooms salmon and spinach on sour dough.
Lovely book shop and cafe, but you have a long wait to get a seat when busy. Staff were not very helpful. Although did a good range of gluten free which made up for it.
Such a lovely lunchtime visit (again). Staff were very knowledgeable of Gluten Free requirements for coeliacs like me. Real fires, lovely food and great beer.
We visited today for a family lunch with a baby. The girls where amazing, I am coeliac and the gluten free breakfast was really good. The atmosphere is so cool and cosy. Amazing place!
We were looked after from the minute we walked in, attentive staff and wonderful food. The menu was more imaginative than most and tasted freshly cooked and prepared. Our food preferences were treated with the upmost respect (even having a separate gluten free menu, which is rare). Definitely would go again if in the area and wholeheartedly recommend.
Booked online, only 2 hours before we wanted to dine. Easy to book online.
Arrived a little late due to public transport but that was no problem to the staff.
Preferred our 2 meals, Gluten Free rump steak with the customary items and a standard mixed grill, both meals were excellent with no waste whatsoever. The rump steak took no effort to eat, tender and cooked just the way I asked for and the mixed grill was quality at its best. Presentation of the meals were spot on, and came to the table piping hot.
Can’t wait to return and have already mentioned the Kings Head to some of our friends.
Well done to the Chef!
Lovely pre-theatre meal. Had mussels and vine leaves to start followed by mixed souvlaki and lamb kleftico. All dishes were gluten free and fantastic taste. Even the 0 % pale ale was nice. Service good.
Absolutely superb from start to finish. Firstly the food: tasty in every single dish leaving us wanting more, loads of gluten free options for my wife which were also tasty, good portion sizes, reasonably priced, everything very fresh and of good quality, excellent presentation, equally lovely drinks and I must mention the beef peanut curry - honestly the chunks of beef were so tender and lean they were better than almost any steak I've had! The staff were attentive, friendly, polite and despite the restaurant being very full and busy the food came very quickly and the staff weren't at all phased by the busyness but perfectly amiable and available. The atmosphere was lovely, presumably because everyone was totally happy with the food, the staff and the service. If I could give an extra star beyond 5, I would!
Simple presentation, no fuss, maximum taste!! Really good fresh food, gluten free chicken burger the wife had ever had, which was essential a fresh battered chicken fillet which had a crunchy batter, with a pass for kind of taste. I had the Steak burger with Pulled Birra Beef and flavour from marinade "adoba" have that perfect sharpness and herby finish. No shiny sweet brochure here, just a good bun, skin on fries and picked cabbage which was withe a balsamic picking juice or cider vinegar or both, either way was delicious. Blue Moon wheat beer with orange was a good pairing. Reasonably priced great service, staff were friendly and had a good sense of humour. To place in Buxton for Gluten free options and hot fresh food

The atmosphere is lovely but the staff were rude when we mentioned that none of the food was gluten free and the allergen information on each product was covered up. Obviously people with intolerance and allergies are not welcome here and seen as more of an annoyance.
Called at this chippy,while passing through Buxton last week, we were looking for GLUTEN FREE Food, look no further, Fish and fresh Chips , absolutely fantastic,some of the nicest we've had , well recommended Thanks !
A really pleasant and relaxing venue. The food was fabulous. There are plenty of excellent Gluten Free options too. Our waitress Angie (AKA Barbara) was really friendly, polite and helpful, and her knowledge of gluten free food was excellent, which made me feel very relaxed as a Coeliac (Thankyou).
The Olive Tree was recommended to us by a friend, and I can safely say, I too will recommend it ... AND WE WILL BE GOING AGAIN TOO 😊
Celiac friendly
