Fat Olives

Fat Olives was originally a Fisherman’s Cottage and dates back to the 17th Century when smugglers used the old passageways through the cellar and village. After many years of both working within the hotel industry and with Lawrence’s earlier career spending time in kitchens in France and Switzerland. Lawrence and Julia Murphy established Fat Olives in January 2000.

Our first year of opening gave rise to Fat Olives becoming runners up to ‘The News Restaurant of the year awards’ and again in 2005 and 2008. We were also winners of the ‘Charity Best Business’ award in 2006 for monies raised for local charities. These awards are gratefully received as they are awarded through votes from the local readers and customers via the Portsmouth News.

Fat Olives is also recommended in the five main Food Guides for 2011 and was listed in Egon Ronays’ last editions of “Top Restaurants in the UK 2005/6”.

We strive to ensure our customers are able to enjoy a relaxed and informal atmosphere with friendly attentive service. All our dishes are freshly prepared on the premises using as many local suppliers within the surrounding areas as well as serving fish and seafood from sustainable sources.
