and now let me introduce you to my team........... As regulars to the Olive Branch you will now that we have gone through a transition period with our front of house staff ! Which for those of you who know the industry will appreciate that this happens. But I feel that we have ridden this storm and the key members of staff we have in place now are:-
Laurent Joerger - Head Chef - Laurent has been with us since day one and continues to deliver the excellent food you have become accustomed to.
James Voysey - Restaurant Manager - James joined us at one of our most difficult times and has now settled in to his role
Aekarat Sae Na - Head Waiter - Aekarat left us for a while but we with your help persuaded him to return as he is somewhat of a local celebrity! and the place did not seem the same without him!
Well I hope that this has been helpful to you and you like me are looking forward to the lighter nights of Spring and the Hazy Days of Summer!
I hope to see you at the restaurant soon
if you need any further information or details on any of the events then please do not hesitate to call (016030 737555 or email us on info@olivebranchnorfolk.co.uk
