Meet The Manager
FAYE
GENERAL MANAGER | LYTHAM
Faye has spent the last 6 years developing a passionate team that has seen Olive Tree Brasserie Lytham become a hot spot for local foodies and visiting holidaymakers. The food is fantastic, the welcome is warm, but it’s the attention to detail and personal touches that turn a visitor into a regular guest.
We caught up with Faye to talk about bringing authentic flavours and the sun-soaked warmth of the Aegean to the charming coastal town of Lytham.
The Story So Far
Faye’s journey with Olive Tree Brasserie began right at the beginning, when her family opened the very first restaurant in Lytham back in 2007.
In 2020, Faye joined the team as General Manager, where she’s since evolved the venue to become a hot spot for both local foodies and seasonal visitors heading to the quaint seaside town.
“I’ve built my career around my passion for hospitality and looking after people.”
Olive Tree Brasserie, Lytham has grown to become a staple in the local community, bringing a mix of authentic Mediterranean food and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that for many, is a home from home.
“What makes us stand out is that family feel… we want guests to feel like they’re coming somewhere they know, while still giving them an experience that feels special.”
Spot On Service
Seaside hospitality operates on a unique cycle. Visitors to Lytham are driven by weather forecasts, tide charts, and the fierce swings of seasonal tourism. For Faye and her team, there’s always a need to balance summer highs with winter lulls.
So, a focus on first class service is the standard. Faye has trained a strong, service-led team, who pride themselves on growing an impressive number of returning guests, both from local areas and holidaymakers returning each season.
“It’s the little things, remembering a regular’s favourite table or drink, noticing when someone needs something before they have to ask, and making people feel genuinely looked after. Those small touches can make a big difference.”
Food For Thought
Our food is all about Greek gastronomy, inspired by the modern Mediterranean.
Our popular A La Carte menu includes Mediterranean classics such as Greek flatbreads, fresh houmous and Lamb Kleftico.
Firm favourites include padron peppers in maldon salt, spinach and feta arancini, and meatballs. Plus, our take on the classic kebab and gyros are a much loved mid week treat.
“Our Gyros and Kebabs bring together the fresh, vibrant flavours and generous style of Mediterranean food that Olive Tree is all about.”
The Olive Tree Bottomless Brunch is the perfect opportunity to soak up the weekend vibes and is available every day from 11am until 4pm. Guests can enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited drinks, plus a delicious selection of meze plates. Even better, when the sun is shining, the outdoor terrace is the perfect spot to soak up a few rays.
The Warm Welcome
A great dining experience isn’t defined just by the food. Customers now measure happiness based on how a venue makes them feel from the moment they step through the door. While exceptional food and drink set the stage, it’s the genuine warmth, atmosphere, and human connection that transforms a single visit into a lifelong habit.
Something Faye and her team know the art of.
“To me, hospitality is about making people feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the atmosphere, great people and creating an experience that makes guests want to come back.”
And it shows. Our customer feedback is exceptional and our Lytham brasserie is a firm favourite for those who don’t just head out for good food, they want the complete personalised dining experience.
You’ll find it, in the heart of Lytham.
