Food and drink Olivo for Sunday Roast If you are looking for a quality Sunday roast then look no further than Olivo It’s that time of year again, when we all start digging out the scarves and woollies and wrapping up warm for the winter. Sunday lunch is one comforting weekend routine that most of us like to indulge in during the colder months of the year, and finding a really good Sunday roast can be quite an art on the Island. There are some people who like to find the cheapest, pile-it-high Sunday roast, whilst there are those of us who prefer quality over quantity. If you fall into this category then you will love the latest offering from the Olivo restaurants located in Newport and Ryde. Olivo, probably best-known for serving great pizza and pasta and delicious main dishes, have recently put together an amazing Sunday roast. They’re using the best quality local meat, the freshest vegetables, served with crispy roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, and topped off with an amazing gravy. Diners are given a choice of either one course at £10.95, two courses for £13.95 or three courses for £16.95, with a kids’ Sunday roast for £4.95. The beef portion was more than generous, the vegetables really crisp, the roast potatoes were light, fluffy and crispy, but best of all was the delicious gravy: we could have drunk a cup of this on its own! The portion size was more than enough to satisify anyone with a big appetite. Olivo will continue to serve their roast dinners throughout the year, and they’re available all day on Sundays - from mid-day until supplies run out. Currently they offer two types of roast.
