About the restaurant

One stop eatery
We’ve combined bar, restaurant, and café into a truly individual one stop eating and drinking experience.

We’re open, so why not stop by and sample our great food and drinks, and experience our unique, welcoming atmosphere.

Note when booking - a high top table is a taller table with bar stool height chairs, the chairs have backs and are very comfortable but we recommend not booking these if you have very young children (under 5s) or members of your party who are less able bodied.

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.

Have used Greendale many times over the past couple of years, today was disappointing. The attention by the waiting staff was excellent as usual. However the food was not to its usual standard. We had scrambled eggs on toast. According to the menu three eggs would be used per portion. It was clear that this was not the case. At best it was two eggs per portion. I work in the industry and I know the difference between a two and three portion of scrambled eggs. It might just be one meal, but that one meal sadly taints the memory of all the other excellent meals.

Pub

Sidmouth

About the restaurant

A resplendent thatched-roof Inn, located in the heart of Devon, two miles from the coastal town of Sidmouth. With eight recently renovated rooms, the Blue Ball is a snuggly, seaside treat of a place. Locally sourced seafood specials are the order of the day, supplied by renowned Cornish fishmonger Flying Fish, coupled with a well-stocked bar of real ales, liveners & pick me ups! Our cosy corners, eccentric finishing touches and curiosities make for quite the venerable experience. Only heightened by our splendid rear garden which promises to provide a welcome haven.

Booked a table on OpenTable for 4.30 for my wife's birthday. Booked an early time because it was given as an option by OpenTable and the weather forecast was for snow. We arrived at 4.15 and found that the restaurant was not supposed to open for service until 5pm. Bobby the barman and Josh the chef made us very welcome and opened early for us. We enjoyed a lovely meal, complete with candles to celebrate the occasion! Thank you Bobby & Josh. Great customer service by both of you!
