Olive and Barr Reviews

What a fantastic experience! I say experience because it was a whole journey. Undertaking the renovation of our kitchen was intimidating and the myriad of decisions and choices to be made felt quite overwhelming. From the design, all the way through the project, the team at Olive and Bar guided and advised us and I must thank them for it. The end result, our beautiful kitchen has enriched our lives so much more than I could have imagined. We love to cook, now we have a fabulous space to cook and entertain friends and family just how we always wanted too!

James and Rachel did such a fantastic job with my kitchen. Everything from helping guide me through designing my kitchen, picking colours & styles and final installation was all done with such care. My builder messed up the installation and the Olive and Barr team came out to fix it - I wish I had hired them from the start as they did SUCH an amazing job! I love my kitchen and had such a great experience buying with them. The quality of my kitchen is amazing and I love how bespoke it is. Truly one of a kind. Thank you to the team at Olive and Barr for giving me my dream kitchen!

We’re very happy with our new Olive & Barr kitchen, it looks beautiful and truly bespoke for our family. The whole process was smooth and the entire team very helpful, from inception to final moments on site; Nicolle, Jane, Steve & Sophie assisted us through various phases. Absolutely recommend Olive & Barr.

We love our new kitchen. There were a few bumps in the road but ultimately things were straightened out and the quality of the joinery is excellent. We also highly recommend using their installers Vlad and Andre and their painter, Sophie, who went above and beyond to ensure that the finished product is stunning.

Olive and Barr were fantastic. We had a kitchen from Olive and Barr fitted in April 2023. From our first consultation to fitting their service has been perfect! James was incredibly helpful throughout, always getting back to us quickly and going above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Vlad and Sophie- the fitter and painter- were great! Their attention to detail was superb. They were also very courteous and tidy! The quality of the kitchens cannot be overstated! They were nearly half the price of their rivals and with a higher spec! We couldn’t be happier.

We are thrilled with our new kitchen. The whole process from beginning to end was a great experience. Big thanks to Nicolle and Jane for bringing our dream kitchen to life!

Thank you to the team at Olive and Barr for creating our dream kitchen. The design and quality of the cabinets and clever use of space is amazing. The whole team have been incredible throughout the process. Thank you to Heaven the designer who was not only an absolute pleasure to deal with but has an amazing attention to detail and creativity that brought our dream kitchen to life. Thanks to Jane and her team in Ops management who managed the whole process to run smoothly and took away all the stresses when we had a few things that didn't go to plan. Also Vlad and his team were incredible, his wealth of knowledge and experience is second to none. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result and can't recommend Olive and Barr enough.

We are very glad we chose Olive & Barr. First and foremost, the kitchen looks stunning! The build quality and attention to detail is excellent, and through a great early consultation process, everything is in the right place and works as it should. I would like to personally thank Nicolle for helping us design our dream kitchen. Nicolle is an absolute pleasure to work with, as well as being patient, honest and inspirational. We could not have done this without you Nicolle! Secondly to Jane, who has been supportive and responsive throughout - we always knew what was happening and when, and any issues were dealt with quickly and fairly. Finally, Vlad and his team of kitchen fitters, proper craftsmen who clearly care about their craft and are rightfully proud of their work. We looked at a lot of different company's in our search for the perfect kitchen, and we could not be happier that we chose Olive & Barr, and would unequivocally recommend them to anyone looking for a quality shaker kitchen.

The quality and workmanship of the handmade cabinets was simply beautiful, very pleased with my gorgeous new kitchen which was also great value for money. Communication excellent throughout the process.

Great quality and great service. James and Lisa were brilliant.

Great kitchen, great company. Reliable team who did everything perfectly from design to fitting, to painting. Thanks all at O & B.

We have worked with Olive & Barr on several of our projects. Their level of service and quality of workmanship has always been exceptional and i would not hesitate to recommend them to all our clients looking for a handmade shaker kitchen. - Lomax & Chi

Really good experience, a few bumps in the road but Nicolle in the London showroom has been an angel!

Excellent from start to finish. Nicolle was a great help with design. Logistics and operations made coordination with our builders very easy. All of units very high quality and look fantastic. Worth paying the premium over the standard high street kitchen suppliers. Have recommended to multiple people.

Olive and Barr were great, from Nicole’s help and guidance (and buckets of patience for numerous changes of mind!) in the design process to Pieter’s immaculate painting of the cupboards at the end. We are so pleased with our kitchen, which really reflects our vision.

We couldn’t be happier with finished kitchen and the service we received. Working as a design manager in the construction industry I work with a lot of kitchen designers. The design service you will receive from James is exceptional. He truly knows how to make the most of the space and deliver the ideas you have. For us it is the detail that has made the kitchen so great. The quality of the materials, wall units deep enough to fit plates, high quality soft close catches, the list goes on. The installation was managed and undertaken really well. We had one mix up with an end panel which was changed within a week and without debate. To me this was invaluable and showed me that they are genuinely delivering high quality kitchens that’s satisfy the customer.

From first visit to view the Lavender Hill showroom, through to design, sales, survey, operations team, fit and paint, everyone in the Olive and Barr team were professional and approachable and offer excellent customer service .Communications were seamless. Any questions quickly answered and any issues immediately addressed.Nicolle our designer spoke with us constantly with good humour and patience, listening to us carefully, tailoring our design as we worked through the design process . The kitchen itself is amazing, excellent quality, perfectly made and exactly fitted all at a competitive price, everything we hoped for and more. It’s been much admired by everyone. If you’re looking for a new Shaker kitchen, I’d highly recommend you to visit and meet the people t and see their product, you’ll not be disappointed .

O&B built our utility/boot room and pantry. From start to finish James was always available and very quick for communication which was great. As well, bouncing ideas of James and him challenging our thinking as well, helped us build our design in a practical way but also looking great. The cabinetry and finish was also off high quality and installations team were tidy and Jane on the organisation was great. Overall we were extremely happy with Olive & Barr as a service and product and highly recommend for anyone looking that personal high quality aspect.

Great service. Reassuringly solid units - great quality, and very reasonable prices.

Almost perfect experience. I would definitely recommend Olive and Barr who designed, supplied and fitted my kitchen. Nicolle (Lavender Hill shop) was endlessly patient in advising, encouraging and fine tuning throughout the project. Steve’s skill and patience in his role as the kitchen fitter was incredibly impressive, and Louise painted the units to perfection. The whole job was coordinated by Jane who did a superb job in juggling a myriad of deliveries and contractors.
