About Salty Olive Tapas Bar & Event Venue
Salty Olive Tapas Bar & Event Venue is an independently owned tapas restaurant at Unit 5 in Wokingham. The menu offers hot and cold dishes in small portions that reach the table at different times, including chorizo croquettes and chorizo in red wine. A bottomless brunch gives guests 90 minutes of drinks, with bottomless patatas bravas included. Vegan and gluten-free options are available.

Customer Review Summary
Private events are what most reviewers return to, with a hen do, a wedding, a Sweet 16 and several birthdays all praised for how the team handled set menus, pre-orders, decorations and a mocktail masterclass. Close behind is the tapas itself. Diners name the chorizo croquettes (one table ordered a second round), chorizo in red wine, squid, mini burger, meatballs, aubergine and the bottomless patatas bravas at brunch. Several mention the dishes arriving at different times so more can be ordered. Reviewers describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, and a few like the decorated dining area and the margarita. The caveats are small. One reviewer found the wait between dishes a little long, preferred the beef burger to the chicken burger, and ran out of parking time before ordering dessert. They also note the bill can climb for big eaters on small portions. One guest at a hen do said the team even let them put on their own playlist in the evening.

“Experience was amazing. We had two special birthdays here (50 and 18) and hosting was fantastic with amazing food, delicious drinks and a great party vibe (at our private hire event). Highly recommend Salty Olive, a great addition to Wokingham. From a pop-in lunch, to a cozy dinner, organised events and private hire it’s all brilliant and you’ll be taken care of by the Team. Highly recommended.”

“I booked the salty olive for my sister's hen do and they were amazing! I was liaising with Kerris a lot with set menus and pre orders and she was very accomodating and patient with me. Then on the night, Susannah and the team were so nice and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed and even letting us put our own playlist on in the evening! The food was amazing, good portions for everyone and the set menu price was very reasonable. The aesthetics of the restaurant are also beautiful, very nicely decorated. Highly recommend the salty olive for parties like this or just for a meal. Thank you to everyone for making my sister's hen do so lovely! ☺️”

“We visited The Salty Olive in Wokingham for their bottomless brunch and it was simply outstanding. The 90 minutes of flowing drinks paired perfectly with the delicious tapas - and the bottomless patatas bravas were a dream! The food felt incredibly authentic Spanish, with every dish full of flavour (the aubergine was my absolute favourite). The service was impeccable too - our glasses were never empty, and the team kept everything running smoothly throughout. We sat outside in the gorgeous spring sunshine, which made the whole experience even better. There was such a lovely, relaxed vibe from start to finish. I would highly recommend The Salty Olive - if you haven’t been yet, you really need to try it!”
