A better fit for confirmed opening times than assumptions
There is not enough verified information here to make claims about takeaway, delivery, specific dishes, service style, pricing, or the room. If you are planning around Olio on the Green, use the confirmed hours first and check directly with the venue for anything more specific before you commit.
That matters for occasions and groups.
