Olive Press was my choice for lunch when I quickly visited Preston. I had done my research the night before as I was limited with time and wanted to make sure that I would get something half decent to eat before driving back home.
There is a handful these restaurants in North West England, all part of Heathcotes Collection. Their menu is traditional Italian with a modern twist, lots of exciting options to try alongside all old favourites like handmade pastas and stone baked pizzas.
I wanted something light, so when I saw 'Healthy lifestyle dishes - all dishes under 400 calories' on the menu I was more than happy. 'Pizza with a salad centre', plum tomatoes, fresh basil, dried chilies&rocket salad centre was so tasty I didn't even realize that I was eating a pizza without cheese on top...something that one would not expect to happen!
I was pleasantly surprised with this place, though I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. Not for a moment did I feel uncomfortable eating alone and that to me always says something about the place. Their attentive staff all had smile on their faces and on my way out I got into chatting with two lovely men that I assume were the owners/bosses, when they kindly asked my opinion about wallpaper options for the bar upstairs.
