Lunch at Fat Olives, Emsworth
March 17, 2022
For our next event I have returned, for lunch, to another of our outstanding Solent favourites – Laurence and Julia Murphy’s delightful Fat Olives in Emsworth. The restaurant was originally a fisherman’s cottage and dates back to the 17th century when smugglers used the old passageways through the cellar and village. Nowadays the charm of this small and intimate restaurant is its relaxed and informal atmosphere and friendly attentive service.
Laurence and Julia established Fat Olives in January 2000. Laurence’s earlier career was spent in kitchens in France and Switzerland and both have worked for many years within the hospitality industry. All of the dishes produced by Laurence and his team are freshly prepared on the premises using local suppliers and seasonal fresh ingredients from the surrounding area. The fish and seafood are all from sustainable sources.
Full details can be found on the Solent Bailliage web site.
