Otter Garden Centres Torbay

Roast dinners in the “cafe” were excellent, we will certainly be back again soon. probably best to book at present because there are fewer tables due to COVID

This is the old styles centre, a little dearer, but good selection, staff ok, but won’t help unless u ask, car park on a hill, be careful, cafe there too, a little expensive for what it is, but worth a coffee

I've ate here a few times for lunch with my wife and her mother. The food has always been nice, (sometimes the wait can be a bit long). However, the staff are friendly and if its not raining, its lovely to sit outside and take in the great views. Speisekarte ansehen

We had Sunday lunch in the conservatory, main window catch broken, window closed--temperature must have been about 35 degrees. The good selection of vegetables were nicely cooked but the roast beef was almost inedible--there is tough and there is tough--this was very tough so we will not do Sunday lunch again.

The Panini was tasty, but the sight of a small green caterpillar in my salad was enough to ruin my appetite. Additionally, we had to clean up the previous customers' dishes before we could even sit down. I'm not sure why I keep coming back here, maybe just for the view. Today will definitely be my final visit.

We decided to have coffee and cake in here for the first time in a while but were rather disappointed with the coffee. Coffee used to be lovely here; nice and hot and well made, but now just out of one of those 'press the button ' machines. What a shame, as the cake was lovely, but spoilt by not-very-hot average coffee, at not-a-very-average price! Speisekarte ansehen

The garden center is located in a beautiful rural area just outside of Paignton/Torquay. We have visited about twelve times since Otter took over the nursery. The quality of the plants, shrubs, and trees meets our expectations for a good garden center. The restaurant, while small, is sufficient for a nice lunch or coffee and cake. Kudos to the staff at Otter, especially during these difficult times.

I arrived at the restaurant and found the car park to be full, so I expected the cafe to be busy with a queue. Surprisingly, there was no queue and I was seated right away. Drinks and food were ordered quickly, and within ten minutes, 3 bacon and egg sandwiches and a tuna sandwich were brought to our table. The food was excellent and the cafe had a one-way system in place which worked well. Some tables were a bit close together, especially when four people were seated at one table and one person was standing for a while, encroaching on a nearby table. However, the rest of the cafe was spacious and of a good standard for a garden center restaurant.

We popped a across the water from Dartmouth to have a look around and pick up some slate. As I am on a disability scooter I am a little restricted and we did not get as far as the section that housed the bags of stones, however I knew what I wanted so a very helpful staff memeber/gentleman offered to get them and take them to the tills. So we bought a few bedding plants and bulbs and headed for the cafe. Unfortunately the coffee machine was just being commissioned with the staff learning how to use it. We said we would wait and have a Cheese Scone whilst waiting as we were told it would only be 10 mins or less. It turned out to be nearly 20 but we were happy to wait. The Scones where delicio...
