About The Green Olive
On John St in Porthcawl, The Green Olive is a takeaway built around build-your-own salad bowls, with generous portions and a large variety of options to mix. The menu runs to a dozen items beyond the salad counter, including a Cajun chicken rice box and a ham, mozzarella and pesto panini. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations involved. The shop opens daytime only, Monday to Saturday, and stays closed on Sundays. It sits near the beach, making it a stop for food to take away rather than eat in.

“The summary of reviews says it all and is right: we had two large bowels of BYO salads, with truly generous portions. Also, you can achieve a good amount of proteins here which I really appreciated. The ingredients were all very fresh and substantial, kept me full for a while. Though we were obvious visitors, the staff was extremely sweet. Wish I had my The Green Olive near where I live:)!”

“We had a very lovely lunch here, with so many options! We ordered the Cajun chicken rice box which was amazing! And we had the ham, mozzarella and pesto panini, which was also very nice! Once we ordered we walked down to the beach for a great lunch”
