The Historic Old Law Chambers is the setting for our restaurant, found at the end of a passage alongside Olney House in the High Street. Much of the old stonework and timbering of the original building has been retained within the decor giving it a historic flavour.
Our menu has been carefully planned to offer you Peking, Szechaun and Cantonese dishes, which are all prepared in the traditional manner by our team of chefs, providing finest quality food with excellent service.

In June of this year the Mayor, Councillor John Smail and Olney Town Council hosted a second Veterans Day lunch in the Olney Centre. These occasions have been enjoyed by so many members of the Olney Branch of the Royal British Legion that the Branch decided to arrange their own lunch
party and co-ordinate it with their Poppy Appeal Awards.
The organiser of the event, Basil Margrave, welcomed the 70 members and guests attending and called upon the Chairman, Philip Maxwell, to give the Exhortation and Silent Tribute followed by the Grace.
Following the lunch the Mayor, together with the President, Ivor Neale, presented the Poppy Appeal Certificates of Appreciation to the following members noting their years of service. Mr Willliam Meades – 5 years, Mrs Evelyn Bullen and Mr John Kent – 10 years, Mrs Ann Adams, Mr Len Adams and Mrs Gill Wright – 15 years, Mr Phil Maxwell and Mr Peter Bullen – 20 years, Lt.Col.John Curtin and Mr Richard Sargent – 25 years and Mrs Leonora Wood – 35 years.
