At Otter Nurseries Garden Centre

Very limited menu, been like this the last 3 times I have been. Decided not to go again for a while and hope they change the menu.

Went here for lunch with my husband. We arrived early, before it got too busy as it was half term. We both had fish and chips with coffees. Friendly service and not a long wait for food, in spite of the growing queue. The food was tasty, will definitely return

The Otter nurseries have got to be one of the best places to visit at any time of the year. They have a great restaurant with a very good menu. The staff are excellent and friendly, the food is good and well-presented. The cost is also very reasonable. The nursery always puts on an excellent Christmas display which is both colorful and bright. Highly recommended for spending a couple of hours looking around the gift store and garden area.

When we arrived at the garden centre we went for a coffee then a look round. We returned later for lunch, both times we were served by a lovely young man called Brock, he was pleasant and polite. We have eaten here several times when we have been in the area, I feel the menu isn't as extensive as it used to be, they used to do a lovely ploughmans lunch. This time we had jacket potato with ham and cheese and ham, egg and chips., food was nice and hot.

We had lunch here in a very nice setting. I and my husband chose tomato and basil soup £5.25 each) with bread roll £0.95 each) and as a main meal ham, egg and chips £10.95 each) and to drink pot of tea £2.25 each). The soup and bread was to die for, extremely tasty and the ham was proper ham, very tasty meal. We found this place is very popular as you can buy there plants, very good choice of clothes, hats etc., kitchen ware etc. It's place I will recommend to visit.

We stopped at Ottery Nursery on our way home to Devon on a bank holiday Monday. Decided to have lunch in their café. It was quite busy. Seemed to be lots of queuing, lots of people and lots of staff. The only menu appeared to be the board on the wall. Ordered a toasted ciabatta roll. We sat at a table and it was not too long before our food was served. My ciabatta was OK with a reasonable amount of filling but it was quite bland. It was served with a small side salad and some crisps. The cafe was clean and large. Tables were well spaced apart. The service was good. Ver carta

It has been eleven months since our last visit to the restaurant, we were disappointed back then, however, things have improved no end. The whole place is alive with customers in all departments. Back are the missing tables in the restaurant, the efficient serving staff and not least a decent menu. My fish in beer batter was perfectly cooked, moist flakes of fish in a crispy batter and tartare sauce that is unsurpassed elsewhere. My wife had soup and roll saying that it was quite filling. The cost was not cheap, prices are rising everywhere, we were happy with price and quality. Thank you to the management for getting back on track after a very difficult couple of years.

Recently had a very good breakfast here. We used to visit regularly for lunch pre covid and loved their home cooked meals served with real veg. So we decided to try lunch again. Choice was very limited. There was a light bites option which was mainly sandwiches. The “main meals” listed were disappointing. 1/2 the meals majored on jacket potatoes and soup which should really be on the light bites menu. Remaining meals consisted of a curry, a pasty, scampi and chips and a cottage pie. As cottage pie was the only option with veg we chose that. We were VERY disappointed. Hardly any meat, potato was liquid mush and heavily salted. Veg was cold and dry. Otter what has happened to you? You used to...

My husband and I visited for dinner today (Friday 3rd March). It was a quieter day, which was nice, lots of people but no families with kids so quite quiet which was nice; you don’t always want noise. We queued and I saw the desert selection. There was a few nice cakes but not the choice there used to be. The scones are still not the huge ones they used to be. Not as many home baked options they used to have. Anyway, we ordered Tuna sandwiches, large portion of chips, tea, coffee and two pieces of marmalade cake. We seated and it wasn’t long before the food arrived. The sandwiches were lovely. Loads of filling, generously sized. There was a small side salad, I can’t eat it but it looked ok.... Ver carta
