Fermoy's Garden Centre in Teignbridge

2 sandwiches ( 4 slices of bread !! ) with a few crisps for my wife and me was £26 unbelievable. And they had the nerve to overcharge me by £6 ( after querying was refunded ). The whole place is terribly expensive , never again.

Lovely garden centre and delicious food in the cafe.

Santa's grotto is amazing for kids! For what it is these volunteers do a better job than some of the big companies! it was brilliantly layed out and played out by elves couldn't fault it!

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. Edit: Really Fermoys, would you eat this slimy bacon fat. This was 60% of the bacon.

Absolutely great for gifts, plants and the restaurant is beautiful and all dog friendly.

Lovely garden centre with a good choice of Christmas decorations, I had the roast and I wouldn't recommend it

Always a great place to visit. Good stock. Really nice Christmas selection

The cafe here is superb, a big variety of cakes and food but with a homely feel. Play area for the kids and heated conservatory to sit with dogs. The garden centre itself is interesting with plenty of stock. The highlight for me was the pet and aquatic section. It's hard to find independent aquatic supplies, staff were knowledgeable and stock very reasonably priced with a good variety.

Waited over 30 minutes for a sandwich only to be told that they had no prawns available and it would take a further time to defrost them. Asked for refund.

Lovely selection in the shop and the restaurant is excellent

Great visit, nice stop in coffee shop, well worth the visit

Wonderful plants, cakes and a large variety of seasonal presents and Christmas decorations

Great variation of goodies, some a little pricey but lots to look at and choose

Been going to Fermoys for years as I have a half acre garden so in constant need of soils, plants etc and on a whim garden features. However, I won’t be going back again due to an extremely rude worker in the outdoor plants section (don’t know his name but he had a brummie accent), who needs to realise that customers have a choice as to which garden centre they go to, and there are plenty of others, where they will not be insulted and embarrassed. Yes, my dog did scent mark in the outdoor plant section, but it does not matter if he had done it in the middle of the indoor shop, on his leg, you do not treat customers as he did, shouting out to his colleague how disgusting we are, ensuring all other customers could hear and see us. If he wanted to say something to me, take me to one side and say something quietly, not in the cowardly way he did. He may not care that his employer has lost our and all our friends custom going forward, or the negative feedback across social media, but would perhaps have acted differently if it was his livelihood that depended on customer retention. Looking forward now to exploring some of the other local garden centres and nurseries!

Rather disappointing 😞 I've been going to fermoys for years but today just felt disappointed with it over all. I took my son to the toilet, the disabled loo is shabby, old, dirty and honestly made me want to go home. The doors to the toilets which are meant to be white are so dirty, they are disgusting. Because they are wanting you to look at everything in the shop they are making you walk around the whole building to get to things instead of the little bits where you could cut through, great marketing sense but really annoying for customers. It was disorganised, prices on various things couldn't be found and it was difficult in general to get to where you wanted to go. We went in the cafe, they have done the conservatory in a lovely way and it was a nice place to sit but the cake ,we had a gf one was not really fresh and a rather small piece for nearly £4. So many area's not great. One thing I will say is in general the staff were helpful, kind and fairly smiley. Just a shame because it's a place we used to go a lot but I'm not sure I'd make much effort to go back to as it was.

Really nice, loads of Halloween and Christmas stuff, great for all family, and lovely cafe!

Getting ready for Christmas ..going to be good

Easy parking on a gentle slope. The shop is interesting, the service friendly and the prices as per. But the jewel is the food: absolutely delicious! The staff are a credit to the business.

A very meandering garden with good plants just setting out Christmas

Restaurant, doggy section, fine garden products, lots of parking.

Had a quick visit here, a wide variety of plants and garden related items, plus a cafe which had decent coffee. They have a very nice food and drink section with all sorts of great produce also. 👍

The Garden, Food and Gift Parts have had a revamp. The Restaurant has a new look too and excellent value and service. The Food was delicious, perfectly prepared, excellent value.

Stopped for lunch very good food and nice place to browse around

Great selection, a bit pricey, but better quality and they offer advice when asked. We enjoyed our breakfast in the delish cafe, had a good look around at all the merchandise, food market, plants and so much more. They have virtually everything a person could want for a garden--even sheds, BBQs and lawn furniture.

Popped in for a quick coffee on way home. HUGE selection of cakes and goodies, very nice! Massive range of plants & garden equipment, pet/aquatics section, plus butcher outside.

Excellent Butcher on site... And an array of gifts for any occasion plus houseware, deli, cafe, garden centre, bird food etc etc.. Amazing cakes in the cafe 🙏

Firstly I have visited fermoys in the past for lunch which I may add was not the best, on this occasion I will have to eat my words so to speak, the lunch I had today was absolutely delicious which was an old favourite sausage and mash however the mash was cheese and onion with onion gravy not forgetting the 2 sausages which left me stuffed. If you do happen to visit fermoys I can definitely recommend the above you will not be disappointed 👍

We visited on 6 September 2024 having visited several Blue Diamond Cafes and Garden Centres. We were VERY disappointed! We ordered a Prawn Baguette which is normally around 10 inches long and filled beautifully with a lovely crispy top.What arrived was a basic long bread roll around the size of a hot dog roll about 5/6 inches long! I complained and was told they had changed suppliers and these were the new baguettes but that there had been discussion about them and it was hoped they would be changing supplier again. On a positive FAY, who I believe was the restaurant supervisor did her best to explain and was very understanding.

Found this my little.gem of a.garden centre by pure accident one day. Lovely place to take a wander and pick up some bargains. Fantastic cafe and staff super helpful

Went to have breakfast today , which has always been really nice , but today something had changed . The sausages were different and hard , the bacon over cooked and like cardboard and the black pudding not the same . The poached eggs over cooked . I don’t know if they have a different supplier for the food or whether a different chef but it’s not the same . We have always enjoyed eating here and the staff are lovely and service excellent but whatever they have done to the breakfast they need to sort it before we come back .

Lovely dog friendly garden centre, with very friendly knowledgeable staff.

Great full English breakfast good value for money coffee pretty good too. Cakes looked delicious so purchased some to take home and they were really delicious , very fresh. would recommend cafe to all.

Well stocked but fairly expensive

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.

Cafe lovely. Caters for vegans. Dog friendly

Brilliant place with something for everyone Great restaurant with excellent food (you have to try the cakes ) The shop is full of great items There's a butchers on site

Popped in for some lunch. However had to wait for some time while people had their hot drinks made which was a pain when I just wanted to order food. Chiabatas we're nice but chips where not cooked that great. Good range of plants and garden accessories. Lots of parking.

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.

Great place with loads of variety. Toys, food, furniture, clothes, tools and animals. Lovely little cafe but very expensive.

Lovely garden center beautiful plants all well cared for

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.

Busy cafe/restaurant, wide range of goods including a grocery with excellent range of cheeses. The plants are diverse, in great condition if a little pricey

A visit with helpful, friendly staff.

Nice Garden Centre, used to enjoy visiting here for the Cafe , unfortunately not as good as it used to be , don't expect these places to be cheap , but I feel it's a bit overpriced for what is being served.

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.

Enjoyable visit today, loads of lovely plants to see.

A lovely place to visit and have a wander. They have a large garden centre with plants, pots and ornaments. Plenty of gift ideas with a range of furniture, toys, bulbs etc. Best of all, they have a cafe, a deli (with some wonderful cakes and cheeses), plenty of parking and of course a public toilet just in case.

Great selection of everything you need for the garden and your outdoor space freindly staff and lovely cafe serving beautifull and tasty food highly recommended

Great staff , wonderful range of plants for all budgets.

Delicious desserts in a Cafe!!! Definitely recommend!

Thank u for service this morning before work it helped having a couple of cakes really good prices lovely staff and a great please to go

Favourite place to go! Dog friendly, great cafe and the staff are helpful and friendly. Product choice is useful and fun! Love my giraffe.

Wonderful products, service and food time over time………!

Always the best plants, great stock selection and a good collection of unusual plants,,garden accessories for outdoor living, as well as for the home. Good restaurant for lunch or tea. Forest, farm food shop and local beer and wines. Obviously, for all that, you are not going to get the cheapest prices. But it's a blue Dimond, so if you have a card, then members' offers apply.

Good carparking helpful staff , cafe very good. Wheelchair users and disabled people may have some hardships in the outdoor plant areas, hoses and undulating ground conditions.

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.

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.

One of our local outlets for aquatics supplies. Very friendly and professional staff

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!

First time at the garden centre. Had a bit of trouble finding the plants at first. I was looking for a couple of shrubs and something to climb/cover a fence. 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 the food is bland, and is very expensive for what it is…..awful! Won’t be going back. 😞 The staff behind the counter are friendly.

Very nice garden centre, has something fur everyone. Great cafe, lovely staff great service too. It a bit like Trago so much under roof but the staff are a different calliber. The acutally engage with there customers rather than walk right past them. Sorry Trago, they have obviously busted abd decided not to follow your lead! Food, fish, friendliness, flowers and fun. Give them a visit, don't forget your wallet.

Lot of wonderful items for the garden and home. Very good deli counter. Not the cheapest place to shop. Very busy restaurant with lots of home cooked dishes

Mostly overpriced, with overcrowded stock. Outdoor plants section is well worth a look, as is the café.

Lovely place much bigger than looks great cafe

I have just had a wasted 20 mile round trip to find the Garden Centre Closed. I checked the website beforehand; it said 'open at 10am.' It's a pity no-one bothered to update it to 'closed on Easter Sunday.' While I was doing a U-turn in the gate, three other cars had the same problem! Thanks, guys.

Great selection of plants and Dart Farm butchers - best steaks around

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.

Like the pet shop but the garden centre getting very expensive

So many lovely friendly and helpful staff in the Cafè, shop and garden area. A decent pot of tea and my sister reckons the mocha is the best she has ever tasted. Such a nice place to have a mooch!

Amazing selection of products Store a tad cramped - not much space in the isles Lovely in store cafe and food counter Friendly knowledgable staff

Very enjoyable and so many lovely plants 🪴 spoilt for choice, a great afternoon so much to see and buy also inside well stocked for everything you would need !!!! Thankyou so much Fermoys Garden Centre 😀

My favourite place the best ever cheesy chips the food is fantastic I love the garden centre and shop The pay shop is good The staff are helpful and friendly and unlike most places they smile xx and enjoy there jobs

Good quality products sold here, from food to furniture.

Wow. Simply wow. Give yourself more than two hours to explore, view and enjoy this fabulously well worked and laid out garden centre. So much more than just plants to enjoy. A really great treat to visit

Fermoys the garden centre was good But and a big but thought we have lunch there I had fish. and chips the batter was so hard. when I cut it a bit shot of nearly took the eye out of the lady on the next table .My wife had cottage pie it was warm the gravey was greasy and the presentation was terrible my wife could not eat it been there many times don't no if they have a new chef but not up to there normal standard

Good food and friendly Good garden centre Good butcher

Fermoys have something for everyone!

Excellent! Also the cafe offers wonderful selection of meals and cakes

We went for specific items, although they didn't have everything we wanted we still came out with the majority of it and some food items too

If you are going to charge nearly £10 for a cheese ploughman’s sandwich , maybe a little more thought on what you serve … 2 pieces of semi dry (half buttered) sliced bread … a sprinkle of tasteless catering cheese.. 3 slices of tomato … half handful of dry salad leaves … 2 half’s of tiny tomato ..teaspoon of Branston … half a dozen tasteless crisps …. £10 … wow … 2 of those with .2 latte’s …. £27 …. Shall not return

Had the most amazing full English today! Staff were so lovely and food was beautifully presented and very tasty!

Excellent cafe restaurant. Lovely helpful staff.

Friendly really helpful staff. Saw a lovely sunset from here that day I shopped there got everything I wanted whilst there too.

Lovely varied items to purchase apart from gardening plants and accessories. Café offers good range of food and drinks although a tad on the expensive side. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great little garden centre with a nice variety of plants knick-knacks delicatessen and on-site butchers. Really nice restaurant as well. The staff are all fabulous

I love visiting Fermoy's to shop, eat, chat and explore the shop.

Popped in for a drink and snack, very busy but served fairly quick

We've visited the Cafe a few times and always enjoyed the breakfast food. The staff are spot on too. Very surprised by the poor reviews. Never seen such a range of opinions. 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.

Small, local garden centre. Quite expensive.

A good quality garden centre with restaurant, butchers, flower shop and pet store. Plenty of free parking too.

Good for all the family. They have a small cafe, lots to look at and an animals sales area

I've always loved coming here. Cafe is lovely and there are so many gorgeous things in the shop. Things to eat, things for the home. A fabulous pet department. I could spend a fortune. As for the Christmas stuff...oh my days!!

Lovely place, with a brilliant mixture of items for all ages. The food is delicious, if not a little pricey. Also they have an aquarium section, with very healthy fish. I can personally vouch for this as my Honey Gourami are thriving. Everything you need for the home & garden. Plus a great butchers.

The butchers shop was Brill a lovely joint for Xmas and picked up some horse radish and he reduced price because of size.

Drove up for a relaxing treat of lunch and shopping. Decided on lunch first as obviously very busy the week before Christmas. Ordered and paid for lunch only to sit waiting for 50 minutes. When we went to check on where our food was, got two versions of events 1. Our order was not passed on 2. Our food had been eaten by someone A serious waste of time Left hungry and very disappointed 😞 But will definitely give it another go because the food looked amazing and kind response from the owners

Just a passing visit to show our little grandson the fish. He really enjoyed it. Plenty of free parking a good cafe and a huge range of items for the garden. Today spent a little more time here. A fantastic selection for Christmas, gifts decorations and food a d drink
