Community
At The Olive Branch we love where we work; and we’re fortunate to work where we live. And we’re passionate about our local community.
Wherever possible, we source our produce from local producers and our location in the heart of SA’s “Food bowl” with access to the freshest, best quality produce the Hills has to offer, this benefits not only us as well as local producers but most importantly “you”, the customer.
So whether your preferred on-point foodie-culture term is “Paddock-to-plate” or “low food miles” (..ermm, they basically mean the same thing), we’ve got you as the patron covered and in the knowledge you’re supporting local SA producers ( and in all seriousness, it is an “actual thing” – you really can taste the difference!)
Our support for our local community extends well beyond our menu.
Local music
At The Olive Branch we love local music and love supporting local musicians through hosting our twice monthly “Club Acoustica” sessions. Two Sundays a month we host “Club Acoustica” – a group of local musicians performing an eclectic range of music; from spoken word through to folk, classic covers through to original pieces. The group welcomes all people with a shared passion for music; From old rockers through to young emerging talent looking for an audience (and admission is cheap, in fact, we don’t carge an admission fee!) we’re proud to provide a venue to showcase local talent.
Local artists
Our gallery space is available for talented local artists to showcase their work. Whether you want to just show it or sell it, we’re happy to provide you with a space to showcase your talents to our customers!
Local families
Our original vision for The Olive Branch included a strong focus on families; a vision we’ve continued to build upon since our opening in 2009. Our children’s play area is a constant; however we also provide a range of kid-focused activities including:
But Wait, there’s more..
In fact, too many to list, but of note we also support the following community initiatives:
At The Olive Branch we’re always on the lookout for new and innovative ways in which we can support our local community.
Have an idea that you think would benefit the local community? We’d love to hear it!
