Question

Are there any Olive gardens in the UK?

Answer 1

Olive Garden, part of the Darden chain, generally only establish themselves in the USA and Canada. The same goes for Red Lobsters, Smokey Bones, Bahama Breeze, and Seasons 52. I doubt they will actually set up chains in outside those territories as that is where they make most of their money through product outsourcing since their ingredients come from the general area.

If you want to go take a trip in the USA or Canada, most Olive Gardens are in business districts or mall areas.

Answer 2

These are a few public ones I know of - the links below are in the same order:

The Walled Garden Pigeonsford, Llandysul in Cardigan (Wales).

The Lodge in Plymouth.

The Eden Project on Cornwall.

A temporary one at Kew Gardens in London

ps: giantcock 2003 is wrong - olives are originally from the Palestine and the Fairtrade people will sell you some!  Olive OIl is the oil used to anoint a Messiah - see the Zaytoun link

Answer 3

No they're really from Italy. It's real Italian food.

It's a soup kitchen.

(seething sarcasm)

Answer 4

Morwood actually thought you meant an olive garden.....how cute and helpful.  Thank you for your efforts.  

The british have a different take on things.  When in England

don't look for American restaurants.............enjoy what they enjoy.

You will love their fish n chips.  Straight out of the newspaper.  Yummm.  They are big on Indian food (you know curry).

Answer 5

Your in the dining out section so one would thing you meant the restaurant called Olive Garden. Their web site did not permit a search for International records. I suggest you try the International Yellow Pages
