Located in Quarry Street, Olivo was first opened in 1997 by Nicky and Fulvio Bertani. According to the Guidford Museum, the building is a late Elizabethan timber-framed house, dating back to the early 1660's.
The property boasts many original features including, timber beams, intricate woodwork and a stunning fire-place (now the bar). The earliest written record of the building dates back to 1745 when the premises operated as a pub, known as 'The Kitt'. Over the next 40yrs the name changed to 'The Sheep Shearers', 'The King's Head' and 'The Sun'.
