The Olive Tree Restaurant

Head out towards Whitfield and you'll find yourself in proper suburban Dover, the kind of place where restaurants don't need to shout about themselves. The Olive Tree sits on Singledge Lane doing exactly what it says on the tin—serving up Mediterranean food that actually tastes like someone cares. It's the sort of spot locals keep coming back to, not because it's revolutionary, but because it delivers. You're after straightforward, flavourful cooking without the London prices or the pretension that comes with them.
