Olio Restaurant at Homewood

We booked this as a table of 6 some weeks ago for my mum's birthday today. I only realised this morning that I had not notified the restaurant of a dietary requirement for our group- entirely my fault! I called them first thing and they said they'd do their best to accommodate although they do usually like to have a day's notice. When we arrived, we were seated at our table in a fairly quiet restaurant room, beautifully decorated for Christmas. The staff were all very friendly, especially to the 1 year in our group! Our drink orders were taken promptly. The afternoon tea itself was fantastic, one of the best I've ever had, lots of variety! The savoury pastries/sandwiches were delicious, as were the cakes etc but our favourite was the bath bun! Very generous portions of jam and cream too. The dietary requirement was catered to perfectly, again entirely my fault I didn't declare this soon so we are very appreciative it was catered to at such short notice! A fabulous afternoon tea, we'll certainly be returning.
