Olive Oil & Oregano


After several well-earned pints of ale in Tap East on Friday 14th October to celebrate its official opening the TYC gang headed to the lower ground floor food court to sample some Mediterranean delights and check on progress four weeks after the Westfield opening.


Olive Oil and Oregano had had a busy month and were keen to pay thanks by feeding their hungry troops! The authentic fresh smell of charcoal grilled Mediterranean meat reminded me of a hot summer holiday in Greece, it was time to tuck in…


All the food is sourced directly from Greece and cooked over a large charcoal grill for a full flavoursome meal with authentic Mediterranean theatre. The honesty of the brand is reflected through the warm oak counter with large branded logos. Hanging herbs, garlic and olive trees show the brands fresh values, while black tiles contrast against the yellow branding to create a sophisticated design.


Olive Oil and Oregano aim to create a fresh approach to Mediterranean food in an attempt to change the British publics perception of Greek fast food. After a full mixed grill including tzatziki and grilled peppers, and getting stick from the guys for not being able to hide my Derbyshire accent when pronouncing the word gyro! (‘yeer-ros’ not ‘ji-roes!’) I felt like a changed man!
