About

The Olive House is a vibrant, family‑run Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant located in the heart of Basingstoke. It offers an inviting atmosphere with a relaxed, yet sophisticated menu crafted from hand‑made breads, fresh meats, and a diverse selection of mezzes. Guests can enjoy a range of dishes that combine traditional Turkish flavors with broader Mediterranean influences, complemented by an extensive wine list and a welcoming bar area. A key highlight is the recently opened Olivia Room – a 35‑seat function space featuring its own private bar and dedicated facilities, ideal for celebrations, corporate events, or intimate gatherings.
