About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Dog-friendly
Good for groups

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.

A regular visitor at Greendale but this visit was disappointing sadly. Toast brought out to the table in a lasagna style dish, not sure how we were supposed to put butter on the toast, had to go back to counter & request a plate, toast also overdone! My friend had poached eggs on toast & they looked like they were chucked on the plate & two of the eggs were over cooked & not runny. Big queue to pay afterwards too!

We visited this restaurant after attending parkrun and, anticipating it might be busy, used OpenTable to reserve a table in advance. This turned out to be a wise decision, as most tables were occupied when we arrived. I would definitely recommend booking ahead if you plan to visit during peak times. Our group of three was promptly seated at a well-sized table, giving us plenty of space to enjoy our breakfast comfortably. The atmosphere was lively but not overcrowded, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. While the prices were slightly above average, the quality of the food more than justified the cost. Everything was served promptly and prepared to a high standard. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience with no complaints at all. I would happily return and recommend it to others looking for a quality breakfast spot with great service.

Greendale is a great stopping place for lunch and to stock up on supplies on our journey to our Devon or Cornwall holiday destination. The food is always good and the service team attentive. Worth a stop.

Have visited many times before but this was the first time our party have sat in the outside area and found it to be a lot less noisy. Will sit there in future!

Firstly order came out incorrect, secondly it is quite expensive for what you get compared to other farm shop cafes and garden centre cafes. Even a basic full English should include hash brown and tomato like it does everywhere else not be an extra charge. Stokes sauce bottles are being refilled with a cheaper brand (you can taste the difference) but aside from this they are filthy and congealed. It was even impossible to get brown sauce out as the cap was so congealed. If you going to refill then at least clean caps and necks of bottles. We won’t be going back as better value and service elsewhere. Really can’t see why it is so busy all the time.
