Coldharbour Farm Shop in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely little farmshop, brilliant food at Coldharbour field kitchen. We'll worth a visit.

The food is really good, the place is amazing (with a view) and the staff is incredibly nice! Our dog even got some treats!

Ottery St Mary music festival was held there.

Great service, loved the different tapas and pizza choices on the menu, providing something for everyone . Delightful live music and clean toilets. Would recommend for the perfect affordable night out .

Having tested the water on our own we went back with the family and can strongly recommend the sharing experience. The Tapas dishes, Pizza and Ice Cream were all scrumptious and fully devoured. Very relaxed, super value and a great find. You can eat inside or out but as it’s July in the UK we had to go indoors.

Friendly service, with locally sourced delicious produce.

We took a group of 14 people from our Local History Society for a tour round Ottery St Mary followed by lunch at the Field Kitchen. The food was delicious, with some interesting options on the menu, and the staff were so very helpful - from booking through to serving swiftly and without any mistakes. Even the view was awesome. We'd defintely go back

Wonderful food, very helpful staff, beautiful view from the restaurant. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch yesterday.

Bog standard mostly oats granola. Previous days sausage tough and chewy. Gave it to the dog. Over toasted toast.. very hard to eat. So unnecessary as the place was quiet and service took a little while..

I was recommended by a friend so phoned around midday to enquire about eating and was told they closed the kitchen at 4pm. It was a nice sunny day so took a leisurely drive from Exeter arriving at 3.30pm only to be told by the proprietor that the kitchen closed at 3pm. I mentioned that I phoned earlier and was told the kitchen closed at 4pm but she apologised for my disappointment but was unmoved. It is a shame as I was quite hungry and the menu although not cheap was local and was told was good. I explained to the proprietor that her opening tines were confusing to customers but I personally think since the place was empty they closed early. Beware before you travel and make sure you book! Hopefully my review next time will be more positive.

First time there, excellent food, excellent staff, excellent atmosphere, excellent choice of ales (other drinks are available!🤭).

Just had an amazing brunch! Our first visit, but we will be back and spread the word!

Lovely little stop. We had the slow cooked beef on sourdough bap and it was so good we ordered another one to go!! Highly recommend. 🤘🏼🙏😎

Delightful little farm shop but the shop assistant was so rude!! We visited yesterday 26/5/24. My family have tattoos all except my elderly mother. She turned to her and said it was so lovely to see a person without tattoos. How judgemental, especially as we had just made a purchase from the shop. We did not go to the eatery so cannot comment, but we will not be returning due to that one member of staff!!

Really great place for lovely home made food, we have the best pizzas in a friendly, informal setting. Great live music and friendly, happy staff. Wonderful. Thanks

My wife and I had a great breakfast here. Very attentive staff, and would love to come back to enjoy the late summer evenings. Many thanks.

Very nice Sunday roast all fresh veg super beef

A little on the expensive side but amazing views and great service.

This is such a hidden gem, the location is incredible and the atmosphere is lovely. We had a great meal and can't wait to return.

Really friendly, welcoming staff even though we had an 8 month old puppy with us! Great full English breakfast. We got here shortly after 9am on a Sunday. Most of the inside tables were already reserved, but luckily they had space for us as it was too cold to sit outside. The views from the deck were beautiful - would be lovely to sit out there on a warmer day.

Excellent food & service, & dogs allowed

Went on Saturday morning with 6 friends. My vegan breakfast was very good indeed. The others said their traditional breakfasts were very good too. Add in the quick and cheerful service making it an all round good experience.

Lovely food, atmosphere and idyllic location with views. Limited menu but something for everyone. Specials were goods. Lots of good parking. Only downside for me was the service; very efficient but not warm and friendly.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Service very good!

Very good quality breakfast with all the individual components cooked with care. The coffee is also very good. Slightly more expensive than others for breakfast in the area, although that would definitely not stop me going again and I think overall the price is justified. The decor and location is also lovely with great views and the staff were cheerful. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

We love coldharbour, always good service and food, freshly cooked and locally sourced. Staff are welcoming and accommodating The bubble and squeak is amazing, always a favourite. Looking forward to more visits. Make sure you check out the farm shop too

This tucked away farm Kitchen and farm shop offers great fresh local food in a delightful setting with really friendly staff. It is quite small which makes it very cosy and welcoming it also offers a large outside decking area with fantastic countryside views which would be perfect in the warmer months. Not only do they offer breakfast and lunch menus they also offer Sunday roast.

Absolutely superb brunch for my birthday. Had the veggie breakfast with added sausages, home made apple juice and great coffee. The staff are amazing and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. They made me feel very special. Every time we visit we are in awe of how fabulous this set up is

I love this place. It`s rustic and charming. The Sunday lunch served to my husband and I today (15th Oct) was delicious. There was plenty of food but the meat (beef) in particular was so tender. Excellent choice of veg etc. I love the fact the meal is served on a square metal tray as this is just adds to the rusticness of the place! Please don`t change any aspect of your Sunday lunches as they are perfect as they are. I don`t think I`ve had such a wonderful and tasty Sunday lunch in years! We will be back!

We had 2 super Small breakfasts and coffee! On Saturday 7th October. Beautiful views ! Very friendly service.our first time of visiting! Will definitely go back ! Then we went to the farm shop ,bought a few Xmas presents!

Really delicious breakfast here, when we eventually found it. Lady in the shop was a bit rude when telling us we were walking the wrong way shouting "no no" at us rather than politely getting our attention and directing us the right way. Thankfully the breakfast and the staff in the Field Kitchen were much nicer. Food and coffee came in good time, with a tasty fried egg with a runny yolk to dip my toast in. Delicious! We will be back again, and least we will know the right place to park now!

This was our first visit (of what I know will be many) based on recommendations made. The food was terrific, service excellent, and this was the perfect place to have a leisurely Sunday brunch. The full English was superb. Our visit coincided with possibly one of the wettest Sunday's ever, and so weren't able to take advantage of the outside decking, nor see the expansive views that were shrouded in cloud, but that didn't spoil our visit in any way.

Beautiful place and delicious food

This is the best farm cafe I have visited. It is really understated yet the food is fantastic, the staff are lovely, and the view is to die for.

Went last night for tapas, which they do on Friday and Saturday evenings in the summer. You can sit outside on the verandah if it's warm, or else indoors. Tasty food prepared to order, staff are cheerful and helpful and you get magnificent views over the countryside. Excellent value for money. Probably advisable to book.

Good food and great views. Would highly recommend.

A spur of the moment visit for lunch. Menu was varied and not so extensive you can’t make up your mind. I had enough trouble as it was! I decided on one of the specials and my son chose another. Gorgeous surroundings in a great location. Lovely decked terrace overlooking the farm and distant town of Ottery. Staff were friendly and smiley. I look forward to going again.

Squeezed us in late on a tapas night, food was supurb, service was excellent and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

10 of us rocked up this morning, booking with little notice. Very decent! Melody of breakfast choices ordered, all sublime. Stunning views and excellent all round. Very happy and willing to visit again soon.

Nice produce and reasonable prices. Hidden away in narrow country lanes.

Excellent local farm shop , with extremely helpful staff

Had a fabulous evening to celebrate my retirement. Wonderful venue with superb vies. Delicious food served by a friendly and efficient staff. Amazing gem of a place.

Visited with my husband for lunch after walking our dogs nearby. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we sat in the outside seating area with the dogs. The food was fantastic, would recommend

First visit, great outside seating area, great views, great food, will be back

Cold Harbour field kitchen is a treat to visit. We went on their weekend Tapas evening and what a treat, delicious tapas dishes were brought out to us as we wanted them with friendly and professional service with fabulous views to look out on Highly recommend

Lovely food, lovely setting. Staff great 👍

Lovely views but not keen on the 'designer' galvanised enclosure surrounding the outdoor seating area Would look great with rope fence pergolas ,vines etc

We had never tried this place, don’t know why! We tried their tapas evening tonight and were impressed with the food and the value, and the gluten free options! We had the squid, the prawns, chicken skewers, pomegranate chicken wings, serano ham with manchego, roasted potatoes and chimichurri, and bread with dips. A cider and two large glasses of wine and our bill was only £63. Dog friendly and we’ll definitley return.

Delicious food and friendly service. Dog friendly - my dog loves to join me and enjoy a cheeky sausage

Yesterday, 1st June 2023, husband, myself and dear friend Ann had booked lunch at the Field Kitchen cafe at Cold Harbour Farm, Ottery St Mary, Devon. It’s about a short hour’s drive from our home near Newton Abbot. As the day was warm and sunny we chose to sit at a table out on their terrace that overlooked the beautiful Devon rolling countryside. We each chose different dishes from the deliciously sounding lunch menu. I had the fish one, husband had the chicken special of the day and Ann had the shredded beef bap. Each dish was well served and tasted as delicious as the menu had sounded. We followed that with a warmed Brownie served with vanilla pod ice-cream and clotted cream. Scrumptious. Afterwards, when we left to get in the car to drive back to Newton Abbot, our car failed to start. Neither key worked (mine or husband’s) and we faced a frustrating half hour or more trying but failing to make contact with roadside assistance. We were rescued by one of the cafe staff who saw our plight in their car park. She kindly organised one of their staff, who worked on the farm itself, to bring jump leads and a car driven close to ours. Whilst husband and cafe staff faffed about with connecting leads to the batteries of both cars etc, Ann and I quickly escaped back to the Kitchen cafe terrace to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea. We three were then more than delighted that the car problem had been solved by the extremely helpful staff, their jump leads and their car’s battery. We then happily drove home promising to return later this summer. The whole day was exceptional, especially made by the Cold Harbour Field Kitchen food, staff, clear blue skies, sunshine and the beauty of Devon’s countryside. A happy, memorable day out. We all heartily recommend Cold Harbour Farm Field Kitchen for lunch, to anyone. We fully intend next time, after our lunch, to include a visit to their Farm Shop that lies a short 100 yards up the lane. Wonderful staff who went above and beyond providing delicious food, to then help us resolve our failed car problems with no hesitation whatsoever. Many thanks from Jackie Starkie, my husband Roger and our friend Ann.

A decent breakfast, I had the veggie and husband had the full, he was offered an extra item to replace one he didn’t want. Seemed to be good quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and the view was great when standing up…not so good sitting down as it’s blocked with corrugated iron. It was popular and filled up quickly so get there early,….hopefully they will put some sun brollies up as it was very sunny and I wouldn’t want to be there later in the day. Coffee was pretty weak (for me)…and I was given a tube of sweeteners which definitely needed a sanitise . Overall it was pretty good but very expensive…I just cannot justify nearly £34 for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees

A lovely find. We love visiting here when we come down for the day to visit family in Devon. The food is always fresh and the menu is always well thought out. A gorgeous setting with gorgeous views. I would love to see some of the farm shop items in the cafe/kitchen to have a look at when visiting the kitchen.

We went for afternoon coffee and cake. The view from the outside space of the field kitchen is truly fabulous; you can see why it is in this location. The cakes were great. The coffee was not to our taste being rather mild making the price seem high. We live local and based on the great view suggest visitors to the area seek out the field kitchen. It is not well signposted so make the effort to go see the panorama view.

We cannot rate Coldharbour highly enough. Excellent coffee and cake coupled with a warm friendly welcome. Our waitress Susie was a delight. The farm shop is beautifully laid out, and the selection of ready meals is superb. Liz is a credit to the business and very courteous. Would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely return. The views are stunning.

We visited on a Sunday at 12.15 hoping for lunch. Breakfasts (until 11.30) and specials were advertised on a board outside but after waiting for a few minutes to be seated in a fairly quiet cafe we were given only a breakfast menu. The waitress explained that the breakfast menu was actually available all day but that there were no specials. As we'd had a cooked breakfast earlier we decided we would just have coffee and cheese scones but sadly there weren't any so we asked if the plain scones on display were freshly baked. After being told that they weren't we decided to leave. The cafe itself is quirky and nicely positioned with fantastic views from the large patio but inside the assorted stools and chairs brought back memories of junior school. Judging by other reviews it seems we might have been unlucky.

Went for a late lunch and sat on the terrace outside in the sun - idyllic location and they were kind enough to rustle up a fantastic vegan option with no notice. Great coffee, friendly staff and amazing views - highly recommend

We had a delicious lunch here. Friendly staff. Lovely space, feels cozy and inviting. Plenty of outdoor seating for warmer days with stunning views. The farm shop is about 100 yards up the road and is also worth visiting, it even has a gin tasting...

We have literally just left and had the most fantastic visit to the field kitchen. We sat outside with our 2 dogs (who were more than welcome inside, they were greeted with dog biscuits and a cuddle) the views are amazing, we watched 2 birds of prey swooping overhead whilst we had our breakfast in the sunshine! We were greeted and sat by a wonderfully friendly lady (sorry I didn’t get your name) they were incredibly dog friendly - the menu even has a dog section! Our 2 had to sample the sausages and they went down an absolute treat! Onto the human food…. Well, we went for breakfast, but I would say It is probably the best breakfasts I have ever had! I had the veggie breakfast my father in law had the bubble and squeak with 2 (monster size) sausages - which we had to come to the farm shop to stock up on! We will definitely be back to sample some other delights! Everything was so fresh and vibrant, cooked incredibly, a great cup of coffee and the service was beyond fantastic! We will 100% be back! Amazing job guys - we’ve definitely found an absolute gem today and will be telling everyone we know!

We finally got around to visiting this morning… and wow, it was definitely worth the wait! We came for breakfast with our 2 dogs and it did not disappoint! Absolutely stunning views and as the sun was out we sat out on the decking… we...

We popped here as I’d wanted to for a while. We weren’t disappointed. “Sole in a roll” was beautiful and a cracking hot dog. Great flavours, good quality food. Great views although it was a bit chilly still to be sat outside. A very rustic...

First visit, lovely breakfast, excellent service. Will be back soon, summer cream tea with wonderful views, sounds brill.

Once again, an amazing breakfast and warm welcome for us and our dogs. The cafe is in a log cabin and is so cosy with the woodburner on. Great views and we can't wait for the warmer weather and tapas on the veranda!

A lovely cafe and restaurant with superb views over the country side. The cheese scones have just taken over first place in our tasting tour of East Devon.

Treated a friend to a birthday breakfast. Wow the Bubble & Squeek was Amazing with a side of Black Pudding. Walked up to the farm shop and bought some gifts as well - very reasonably priced and excellent quality. The service is always second to...

This was my third visit and on both previous occasions I had the mushrooms on toast which was the best I've ever had but though I ought to try more of the delicious menu. I had the duck burger, and it was amazing. OK, it...

A lovely place to visit nice to see them going from strength to strength Love their quirky dishes. Just what Ottery needs.

A brand new breakfast menu. Fantastic value and dog-friendly.

We visited The Field kitchen here today for lunch . Lovely restaurant, lovely decor very clean , helpful friendly staff and great service . The food was absolutely delicious. The vegetarian platter was adjusted to vegan for me and was the best vegan platter I've...

Three of us booked in for a lunch at this new spot. We had been previously to the old kitchen and shop to eat and enjoyed it. The "Field Kitchen" is a recent addition I believe, which is well situated for unspoiled views. Service was...

Shop was very good, Chilli relish was outstanding, went for breakfast in cafe section after, produce was great but not cooked to it full potential, we bought sausages and bacon and had for breakfast the next day, cooked the sausages in the oven then cut them down the middle and then fried them off, they were outstanding.

Thank you again Coldharbour Field Kitchen for the wonderful breakfast yesterday. It is such a treat to be able to share your very tasty food with our American family. We were all very full and very happy when we left.

Great food, great service and a nice atmosphere.

We booked a table for 4 at this cafe. It is very popular despite being off the beaten track. We had the small breakfast which was more than ample. It included black pudding which is always a bonus. The food was locally sourced. For example,...

Great food. Great views. Delicious Sunday Roast

Absolutely gorgeous food , service and what a view 💞

Fantastic place for lunch. Amazing views across the valley, very cosy and lovely decor inside. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food absolutely delicious. Had the Hoisin duck burger. Would definitely recommend. Will return soon to try out more lunch dishes and breakfast menu.

Very friendly nice view topped of with great food

We had a very enjoyable family brunch at Coldharbour Farm Shop. The food was delicious and generously portioned , staff friendly and helpful and setting gorgeous. It’s well set up for young children. A big thumbs up all round!

Loved it, restricted menu but all of it was great

Lovely location with far reaching views. Interesting menu with food that kids will like but that also appeals to parents and done to a high standard. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly. A real find and great to be suprised by the menu and the standard...

Nice breakfast without the meat items.

First trip to new field kitchen , lovely views and setting . We ordered two cakes to share with our coffees , the banana loaf was dry and hard and all three of us could not eat it . Advised the lady who served us...

Very disappointed, turned up for breakfast nice and early this morning and as there was only one table with people at we thought it would be nice and easy to get breakfast. Out order was taken quickly and drinks served in good time, shame the same can't be said for our food. We were surprised when two tables received theirs before us and therefore asked if there was an issue and were assured ours was next, sadly that wasn't the case. Eventually received food after a 50 minute wait and then my wife's was cold which although they replaced shouldn't of happened. A real shame as the setting is fantastic as was the food buy service was poor. Not sure if I will return

Lovely setting with stunning views of the countryside. Narrow lanes to get there so not for nervous drivers. Breakfast lovely but just one negative…… please don’t put black pepper on fried eggs, let the customer decide, it really spoilt my breakfast. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food. Beautiful setting. Friendly and efficient staff. Very welcoming to children and dogs. Of course we wanted to eat outside, as the views are stunning. A bit more shade would be welcome in our current climate; not all tables have fun umbrellas.

Full marks and great addition to the dining options in East Devon. Visited after a friend’s recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. Cheerful, friendly and easy going staff make you feel welcome. Super lunch menu and not too extensive so decisions were quickly made. Excellent meals...

WOW! Amazing view from the cafe terrace and such good food I almost ordered it again. Farm shop is full of treats and even let you try all the gins before you buy. Also we found some alpacas just next door.

What a stunning destination, the view was outstanding, the tapas evening meal was excellent, spotlessly clean, friendly helpful staff, all round best place to eat in Devon

Excellent food, amazing service from the whole team. Was seen to by Beth and she was absolutely lovely. Very high quality food, would definitely go again. On a previous occasion was seen to by Gabe and he was absolutely amazing, very professional and was seen to very fast. Thank you team

Very good food. Beautiful views. Excel place for a food break

Friendly place with great views and lovely fresh food. Try the bubble and squeak, its delicious. We went for breakfast and cannot understand why weve never been before as we live locally, 10 mins away. All food is freshly cooked and sourced locally, lovely happy...

The day we visited they were operating a limited menu of tapas and cream teas...which was fine. We deducted a star because the description in the menu was a bit confusing and the waitress wasn't sure what was what (we didn't realise, and nor did...

This place is really nice. So glad they got a coffee machine as previously it was French press and awful. The coffee now is actually worth going for alone. Really nice. Glad the nachos are back too; very good value lunch dish (although the duck...

Lovely little shop will return at Xmas to search the amazing selection of gins

I've just enjoyed a massive plate of Bubble & Squeak with toast on the side - I'm not often beaten but on this occasion I was. Delicious. My friend had smashed avocado with two poached eggs, again really generous portions. We started off outside on...

Wonderful food, wonderful views, already booked in for another visit.

A lovely venue to eat drink and take in the stunning views. The breakfasts are really good, all home cooked food and locally produced. In fact the pork and lamb are produced on the farm and are available to buy from the farm shop. Also...

Beautiful venue but menu a little limited and very expensive. Shame we have been regular visitors and always very pleased with the lunches we have had.

We were regular customers at the original farm shop cafe; bringing family and friends to enjoy the experience and delicious nachos, if not weekly then every few weeks. The new kitchen/restaurant is beautifly built in rustic themes, with gorgeous, far-reaching views. Unfortunately the mouth-watering nachos...

Interesting farm shop with lovely views of the surrounding countryside
