The Olive Branch, Horsham

Having only recently changed hands, my wife and I decided to go for a meal here to celebrate her going on maternity leave.

What can I say, the food has certainly improved, no doubt due to the new management and chef having migrated across from a well known local hotel. Despite only taking over a couple of weeks before we went there, the service was very well organised and attentive, though not so much as to be over powering.
The food was well presented overall, the bread board starter containing a good selection of breads, though it would have been nicer to have the Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar seperate, not mixed together in one pot, a personal view perhaps.
My wifes main course was a delight on the eye, salmon fillet cooked to perfection (in her view) served with asparagus and baby carrots. My main, a dish of tortellini with Sun dried tomatoes tasted very nice, along with the half garlic ciabatta. For dessert, a word of caution, if the manager offers you Tira Misu, beware, it is VERY rich, though enjoyable none the less ;)

Overall the night cost just over �50 for the two of us, money well spent.

If your looking for a good night out, in a warm and welcoming environment, with food that looks and taste the part, we both highly recommend this place, much changed from its previous incarnations under H+W.

Lets be honest though, the name may change, but everyone will still know it as The Green Dragon. They changed the name of the local nightclub to 'The Chameleon Bar' however everyone i talk to still calls it Shelleys, yet another good example of a local name....
