33 Olive Tree - in the Parks

Stepping into 33 Olive Tree in the heart of Craighall Park gently unfolds a rare blend of casual warmth and lively family energy. It’s the kind of place where the hum of joyful chatter from children playing drifts alongside the clink of glasses and the inviting aroma of wood-fired pizzas and slow-roasted lamb. Time seems to slow just enough to savor both moments of peaceful connection and the bustling rhythm of a weekend gathering.

This spot wears many hats with ease, creating a seamless rhythm where parents can unwind over a carefully mixed G&T or a brioche breakfast bun, while children roam freely through the sun-kissed playground, climbing treehouses, conquering slides, or finding their tribe amid arts and crafts. The play areas and attentive childminders create a natural backdrop for relaxed conversations, knowing little ones are happily engaged just steps away.

There’s a grounded joy in watching families and friends gather here, whether it’s before a friendly game of padel or while sharing the rich, hearty flavors of ribs and steaks. Its open-air beer garden breathes life into each occasion, making it a natural meeting point where owners and staff alike take genuine pleasure in welcoming back familiar faces as well as fresh ones discovering this neighborhood gem.

Beyond the food and drink, 33 Olive Tree feels like an embrace—a space designed with thoughtfulness that invites lingering, laughter, and the uncomplicated pleasure of being together. Whether you arrive with kids in tow or for a casual catch-up, the atmosphere quietly assures you that you’re stepping into a place where every detail, from the spirited staff to the vibrant playground, draws you into a shared local moment.
