Olivia and her team were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and their thoughtful attention to detail made the whole experience feel seamless. The food was absolutely perfect—fresh, beautifully prepared, and served with a smile. The whole event had such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. A huge thank you to Olivia and her wonderful staff for making our family gathering so special. Highly recommended! ”

“ Back again for a friends birthday present. Once again, lovely food and friendly service. I love The Green Welly. Such a warm, friendly, welcome each time I have been (three times). All the staff are lovely. The food is delicious, freshly prepared/cooked on site. My lunch, the salmon and dill quiche was absolutely scrumptious, very tasty and oh!, melt in your mouth pastry. My friend also raved about her chilli, prawn and mayonnaise sandwiches, parcelled up very rustically. The courtyard is a delightful setting to enjoy too. All in all, a very enjoyable and reasonably priced, place to eat. Thank you Sue and the team! :) ”
