Olive Thyme exceeded all expectations with their wonderful service and delicious cuisine. As a coeliac, I was incredibly impressed by their attention to detail in accommodating my gluten-free needs, going above and beyond to ensure a safe and delicious dining experience. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for amazing food and exceptional service.
Vaquero is tucked away neatly in Albion but it is worth seeking out. I initially found vaquero but looking through fine dining lists and I loved that the menu had so many gluten free/coeliac options.
The restaurant itself has a casual elegant vibe that feels very European, the menu is varied and the drinks have familiar flavours and some with a bit of extra flair. We ordered the squash parfait, knowing nothing about it, and it was so incredible I wish we had ordered four. We had three tapas and two mains between us, and the mains were deceptively sized and we couldn’t make it through! Be aware that the quail does have its head and feet attached, I’m a bit squeamish but thankfully I ordered the pork. The food was beautiful, the staff were lovely, the drinks were fantastic. We can’t wait to go again, and hopefully fit in dessert. Definitely a new favourite.
A shout out to Ashton at the Albion store who served me on Saturday. I told him I was Coeliac and he went out of his way to ensure he used fresh tongs to serve me. Excellent customer service from this young man. Thank you.

Great service by Oscar - even picked up that the sauce I selected may have run foul of allergies.
Not very often that you can have both a distillery and roastery in the same place ! Unfortunately, didn’t have time to taste the gin , but it looked good.
All the small touches are here ; nice and cozy , opposite a lovely sports ground ( drinks and coffee after game !) and obviously a local institution.
When my friend and I walked in we were seated and greeted promptly. Quite a bit of seating , but can imagine when it’s busy it gets full quickly . They premises with a barber , which is an innovative idea . You also sit upstairs which has a lovely park view .
We both had coffees, which were a lovely dark roast and I tasted chocolate undertones. My friend ordered the beef brioche burger, which was amazingly juicy with so much flavour , and a wonderfully sweet bbq sauce ( she gave me a little of the meat ) It also came with chips which also surpassed expectations. Best burger she’s had for a long time .
I ordered a gluten free pizza - which was aptly named La Fonz ( reminiscent of the Happy Days
era ) - the base was lovely , fluffy and crunchy with big slivers of Parmesan and stretchy mozzarella, and large fine slices of prosciutto.
So big I couldn’t eat it all in one sitting, but they gave me a take away box , so I had dinner that night .
Apparently there’s also live music here - the atmosphere is similar to what I imagine and American bar is like , lots of wood , long tables and the smell of bbq sauce.
If I lived locally would definitely be back again , especially to try the Gin .
A “relaxing into the weekend “ kind of vibe .
