The Stuffed Olive in Northampton

We visited on a Saturday evening, pre-booked a table and were still able to walk straight in. Not as busy as it has been previously. We both ordered the smoked salmon to start. They were very tasty, albeit extremely small and were eaten in 3 minutes. For mains I ordered the home made beef burger. It was very tasty and fresh. The only slight complaint was that the veg inside the burger was so cold, almost freezing that it made the burger itself cold. My wife ordered the garlic lemon stuffed chicken. Again this was really tasty but her only complaint was that it was covered in what looked and tasted like an Italian red sauce, not what was described on the menu. For desserts I ordered the cheese board which was really nice with a good selection and quality cheeses. My wife ordered the lemon shortbread cheesecake which she really enjoyed. We had a glass of wine each and a couple of coffees. Really good service and nice atmosphere. The total price was £85 which I think is fair for a fine dining experience.

Simply the best meal we've had during our two-week stay in the area. Vegan sharing platter with fantastic roasted veg, great flavours, amazing pastry. Loved the fresh peppercorns in the tomato sauce.

Absolutely beautiful food, attentive staff, perfect for a date night.

Food very tasty and lamb shank fell off the bone.Service could have been better. Was not busy but waited 10 minutes or more and drinks not served, 2 members of staff chatting behind the bar. Had to ask for them in the end, after another table that came in after us were served their drinks .No complimentary bread served with the starter, would have been nice to have side plate to put meat bones on as eating from dish difficult. Portion of vegetables very over priced.Seating very open and lacked a cosy feel.

The food was very nice and service was good.😀

Lovely meal, difficult to choose as I liked most on the menu. Tables spaced out for social distancing. Definitely come back

Food ok but......Once shown to our table all we could smell was this musty damp smell.It was like a wet dog, blocked toilet drain come stale flood water smell.We did notice 2 essential oil burners but not even they helped disguise the smell.Food ok had better in the past. My husband's burger was warm not hot, the fish ok, had better.To be honest the smell was so rank I doubt we would go back

Outstanding service, super thoughtful, vegan friendly. We had a 26 person work do, and the person doing the organising forgot to order the starters for myself and the other vegan in the party. I asked about the order - our fault, not the restaurant - and they offered to put together an off-menu dessert for us. Tracy was the lady in charge, she was absolutely lovely and really helpful. If you want to eat at The Stuffed Olive and you're vegan, drop them an email in advance, ask for Tracy, and she will be able to help.

One of the best restaurants in Northampton. Lovely food, great wine and excellent service. We had lunch there and both meals were really delicious. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic meal here with some very courteous service. It was a quiet Tuesday evening so it's difficult to say how good the speed of service realistically was but everything came out perfectly on time and my lamb was cooked perfectly. A great place for a date night.
