Always assumed it would be very expensive but it wasn’t at all. Service excellent & food delicious. A good choice of vegan & good choice for my husband who likes his meat. I had a delicious vegan curry & hubby had minute steak with chips. Pud was frozen fruit berries with lemon sorbet & crème brûlée which hubby gave a 9/10. He lives crème brûlée & always gives a rating & 9/10 was excellent. It was our anniversary & we were given a complimentary chocolate slice which was delicious. Will go again with friends

About the restaurant

In the heart of the East Devon countryside, surrounded by acres of farmland, you'll find the award-winning Greendale Farm Shop and it's family-friendly café & restaurant. The Greendale Farm Shop Café and Restaurant is much loved by visitors and locals alike. We offer a new extensive menu, created around many of the items sold in our shop and showcasing local produce from our farm and fishing boats. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are no problem and we have a children's menu for the little ones, too. We offer breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as tea and coffee, delicious cakes and Devon cream teas.

Once you've eaten why not take a stroll along our family farm trail. The trails follow a level path that’s just right for pushchairs and little legs where you can say hello to all of the animals, including Oscar the Ostrich.

On Sunday and Monday evenings, from 3.30pm, our restaurant serves from our extensive fish and chip menu only.

Plymouth

About the restaurant

The dome-shaped venue on the Hoe, aptly named The Dome, was designed by architect Tony Irish. The Dome was first opened in July 1988 as part of Mayflower commemorations in Plymouth and started life as a local museum and tourist information centre.

Designed to have the Art Deco feel and opulence of a 1930s ocean liner, the venue’s bar will feature an extensive wine and gin list, a selection of cocktails plus a full range of beers, ciders and soft drinks.

The restaurant’s menu will feature fresh, local and seasonal produce and will include fish sourced from local day boats. We will also be offering traditional afternoon teas.

There will be opportunities for private dining, small weddings and business meetings – all set against a spectacular ocean view backdrop!

the breakfast was very bland, no seasoning/flavouring. tomatoes had clearly been standing around a while. we were offered granary bread and white so we had one of each. the granary option was not granary bread, it was more like hovis 50/50 bread, definatly not granary, which was disappointing. these vice was very slow but, the atmosphere and location was perfect.

Food and service always excellent, the French waitress is particularly delightful. But park across the road rather than trying to fit round the back.

About the restaurant

Beach House is a laid back, foodie destination set right here on a stunning stretch of Devon coast line at South Milton Sands. Take a seat and relax, just a stones throw from the sand, with all the sizzling prawns and lobster you could wish for, accompanied by a bottle of La Nina rosé. Enjoy the sunset, cocktail in hand, with views over the sea and Thurlestone rock.
