Knocked 2 stars off as the new conservatory is awful and waaaay over packed with new chairs and wobbly dangerous tables with warnings on them! We liked the comfy ones that used to be there but they've moved them into the main restaurant. As we take dogs we cant sit there. Its also a cold dull area which is not great for my 83 year old grandmother. We visit very often and are disappointed.

Always visit fermoys when holidaying locally and always enjoy a browse and purchase some cracking cheeses and Cornish pasties. This year the place is pretty much the same but the prices have really shot up. Staff friendly and cheeses bought were excellent as usual but they need to keep a check on prices or they won't be here for much longer.

Very disappointed in food choices, food quality, table congestion and prices in cafe. A lot of overpriced bric a brac. My experience was summed up by seeing a dog urinating on a bucket containing lanterns and I couldn't find a member of staff to point this out for cleaning. I used to love Femoys and was sad.

We visited the cafe mid morning and had a lovely cheese scone, a toasted teacake and coffee. The staff were welcoming and friendly, a very polite young chap who was clearing and cleaning tables asked if everything was alright. We enjoyed wandering round the garden centre and being able to get a very good coffee and cake, the re vamped garden room is a pleasant place to sit.

I wanted to take some Devon fudge back to friends after our stay in Abbotskerswell. The food produce section did stock fudge. A very expensive Devon fudge (£10) and fudge from: Scotland, Cambridge, Dorset. Perhaps Tabitha’s cakes would do? Made in Leicestershire. 😖 There are plenty of Devon fudge makers in Devon! Please stock local! I did however manage to pick up a fennel plant and a sage plant, guided by a very nice garden section assistant.

I am appalled see what you have done in your store! You seem to have forced Newton Pet and Aquatics to reduce the size of their premises and then had the audacity to place bird food and feeders immediately in front of their displays in direct competition. Absolutely deplorable. Fermoy’s has lost me as a customer and I shall certainly be informing family and friends of your actions.

I have always used the Newton Pet and Aquatics shop based at Fermoys for buying bird food. Unfortunately this morning I was shocked to see that the pet shop had been made smaller, and Fermoys had put shelves of their own bird food and feeders directly in line with the superb pet shop. I think this is a dreadful, deliberate use of the pet shop (who sell bird food) to sell their own bird food. I won't be spending money at Fermoys any more. I will continue to support the pet shop.

What on earth are you doing? I am a regular visitor to your garden centre, restaurant and to Newton Pet and Aquatics, a local business based on your premises. Visited today and horrified to see that you have not only reduced the size of the space rented by this local business, but the space you have 'reclaimed' has been filled with wild bird food in direct competition with them. As a large business, surely you should be supporting small local businesses NOT competing with them under the same roof. Local people will vote with their feet!

I asked for some help and that is what I got. Paul listened to what i wanted and I couldn't be happier with my choices. On the way to put my trolly back a member of staff offered to take it and said enjoy the sunshine.

Sorry, but awful food and over-priced too. I had a sausage roll that was £7 and the sausage meat was dry and the pastry chewy. My wife had a scotch egg that was a similar price and literally had no taste at all! Even the Bakewell slice was devoid of flavour as though they had tried to put as little jam and almond paste in as possible. Awful and ridiculously expensive too.

Easy to find and park, lots of beautiful things to look at and the food in the cafe looked inviting. However, the prices are high, even compared to other local garden centres. Another customer was talking to us and said "they seem to hike the prices up, because WE have the money" referring to being a pensioner. So, I know it's not just me that thinks it's a bit much. Saying this I purchased a sale item, 3 lanterns. When I got home they were broken and rusty/flaky - so returned them. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but on looking at others on the shelf, they were also poor quality and condition. So obtained a refund. Not likely to return anytime soon, as we like to visit other garden centres that are better value for money.

The prices are pretty average for the sort of breakfasts they serve these days. £10 ish for eggs Royale, Benedict etc. The eggs Cypriot was different and tasty (Halloumi with poached eggs etc). We're pretty fussy and the food hit the spot. Don't know what else to say really.

The garden center itself is good, a nice Christmas selection and the food shop is good but there are major issues with the restaurant, we where waiting to get a coffee and there wasn't a major que but we heard customers being g told there is a hour plus wait for hot food, clearly who was running thd restaurant had no clue how to run one. There ws more than enough staff to cope. The roast dinner was being put on a plate then putting in a microwave to heat up. I saw 4 diffent customers leave when they where told it was a hour a big loss of takings . Its expensive at £17 for a dinner when the service is so poor. I never mind paying for quality if the service is good . I worked for Forte for 10 years and if my staff run a restaurant like this they be fired . Please sort as I so want to still use this place

Very disappointed. We selected the Christmas lunch, there was plenty of it, in fact to much. The turkey was in large thick slices but dry, the carrots were cold, the red cabbage had a very strange taste usually it has apple or cranberries but this tasted very much of vinegar. the roast potatoes looked lovely but it was a job to cut them up, which I think was the knife not being sharp. The rest of the veg was ok. At nearly £17.00 each just for dinner was a lot of money.

Cakes coffee and delicious meals, what more could you ask for? Fermoys cafe/restaurant was so busy yet again today so I'm not the only one who thinks this way! It just amazes me how Sheridan and her the staff all remain so efficient and friendly in the most difficult of circumstances. Blue Diamond need to recognise the amazing work (and food!) that these dedicated people produce. They cook in a domestic size kitchen with no room to breathe and they never stop!! Having visited many Blue Diamond cafes around the country I believe this amazing gem has been forgotten by those in charge. What a shame!

We are local people. Always go to Fermoys for Breakfast and was totally appalled. Wirh the prices on their menus. How can you justify by charging your extra breakfast items at £.2.95???. for 1 egg 1 tomato 1 slice bacon etc etc.Absolutely scandalous. If you bought individual items your Full breakfast would cost nearly £30. I wiork in Catering and can honestly say I would never charge this. There are so many local people that will not be returning. You need to go back to the owners Blue Diamond and see how they can justify by charging this? Times are hard for families.
