NEW FEATURE: Photo of the day

By Matt Wright

In the kitchen at The Olive Branch, Clipsham, February 21, 2011.

This photo (and the ones below) were taken last Monday lunchtime but the Olive Branch was absolutely heaving. The kitchen’s quite small so I was getting under everyone’s feet. Seeing the OB’s kitchen and front-of-house teams in action is a real eye-opener – so much energy, professionalism and dedication, but they all seem to be having fun at the same time. It’s easy to see why Sean Hope’s kitchen has a Michelin star. The Olive Branch is aiming to extend its kitchen soon.
