The Olive Branch is an award winning hotel and pub suitable for various styles of event, from informal corporate meetings to intimate celebrations with family and friends. Originally three farm labourer's cottages, the site was renovated into a pub in 1890 and retains much of its unique charm. It's the perfect setting for a memorable event. Located in Clipsham just one mile off the A1, this is an easily accessible and convenient venue that also offers plentiful accommodation.
Originally a cow barn, the main event space has undergone an impressive renovation and now boasts modern comforts like underfloor heating and high speed Wi-Fi, while still maintaining its rustic character through whitewashed stone walls and exposed beams. During the colder months, there is a log burning stove built into the wall to add a cosy feel, while during summer you can benefit from French doors that open onto the garden.
The cow barn houses one large table that can seat between 11 and 20 guests for a private meal, and features a small reception area perfect for welcome drinks. For larger groups of up to 35 guests, the furniture can be rearranged so you can make the most of this versatile space and enjoy a drinks reception or party accompanied by a buffet style meal and music from the vinyl record deck. For corporate occasions like meetings or presentations, the cow barn can accommodate up to 16 people seated.
Regarding catering, you will be spoilt for choice whatever style of event you are holding. There is a selection of menus on offer from the award-winning restaurant, all of which make the most of seasonal and locally-sourced produce including fruit and veg from the onsite garden. Fine dining three-course meals for private celebrations can be arranged, as well as working lunches and light refreshments, so whatever your needs may be, the dedicated team at The Olive Branch will be happy to assist.
