The Sooty Olive Menu Launch

Are you looking for somewhere new to try this week? Then you need to get over to The Sooty Olive, as they have recently launched a brand new Lunch and House menu.

The Sooty Olive have introduced a selection of new dishes to the restaurant, but have also kept your favourites, so there will always be something appealing. And as the house menu is also available at lunch time, you really won’t be stuck for options.

These new menus are only in their first week, and so are not available outside of the restaurant yet, but we managed to get our hands on a copy for all you Very Derry readers. So here it is… Why not enjoy today..
