Tonbridge Olives....

I see that Antonia's restaurant is changing its name to The Olive Room. I'm not sure of the inside story there. I know that it was originally named after the owners wife and not Portugeese Antonio, the ex head chef, which was just a coincidence. He's moved on to the Portugeese restaurant in Hadlow incidentally. The new name for the restaurant sounds okay I suppose although, just one question, won't the menu be just a little limited, you know, what with only olives on it? Although, thinking about it, there are black ones, green ones, stuffed ones, spicey chilli ones, garlic ones. In fact hundreds of varieties of olives. There are probably thousands of recipes for olive based dishes. Then there are olive pizzas, pasta meals and salads. There's a magazine called Olive Magazine and even a shop in Tonbridge already called Olive's on the corner of Hectorage and Goldsmid Road although, curiously, they don't sell any olives. Oh hang on, that's her name Olive the lady who runs it!...
