The Poppy
Ovillers-La-Boisselle
17/09/2024: Very good food and very welcoming staff
09/09/2024: Called in without booking - were greeted with no words or smiles. They pushed two tables together and left us.
Menu looked ok but it was three courses don’t expect sandwiches…..we waited.
We were the only English in the busy restaurant, people coming in after us were greeted,.,.seated and orders taken.
After 25 minutes we had been ignored to the extent we hadn’t even ordered drinks or received acknowledgment from staff when we tried to get their attention.
Thus we got up and left. We are a mature group in our 50s and 60s who visit the area religiously every year.
We left feeling deflated, more so we felt we weren’t wanted.

Old Blighty Tea Room
Ovillers-La-Boisselle
05/05/2024: Finally writing a review of my fabulous Battlefields tour with Jon last year!
I’m so pleased I chose Jon from Old Blighty Battlefield tours (who also runs the tea rooms with his wife) to research and guide me on my very moving, personalized tour of the Somme area (including Pozieres & Bullecourt ) where my Australian grandfather fought in World War I (in the 22nd battalion and related Pioneers.)
Jon tailored the tour to my needs but was also very flexible about where we went. (This was particularly important as I unfortunately only had one full day. I wish I could have spent at least two days seeing the area.)
While I’d seen some of my grandfather’s army records beforehand, Jon researched his and his battalion’s movements thoroughly. It was very moving to often stand either on or close to, as well as see the very places where my grandfather would have stood, fought, dug trenches, camped etc, and to visit other sites such as the John Monash centre and towns where these men might have visited /stayed in when not in battle.
With his deep knowledge of the history and local geography, Jon clearly explained what happened in various locations and the context, logistics etc.
I highly recommend Jon as a highly informative, articulate guide and delightful person. I felt very comfortable doing a solo tour with him.
