Fields will not be the same if they close the resaurant at the end of february. We have come to buy and browse and eat for the last 10 years. If the restaurant goes what will entice "families, the older generations into the shop" Please rethink this " People are always hungry" the loss of footfall will speak for itself. "Fields management" Please read your other reviews "google maps" "trip advisor" and make a note how many mention the cafe/restaurant, if it closes people may just decide to buy online. Departmental shops always have somewhere to eat, average high street shops do not. Market it better, realize the jewel that it is to your brand. Every weekend the most densely populated area of your store is the cafe per sq ft, realize this and build on it, don't shut it down. Simply put the cafe hugely increases the time each buyer is physically in your store to decide to make a purchase, without this they are in and out without a reason to re-enter until the next season of mechandise comes in.

They have some ridiculous pricing. I've bought a Joe Brown dress, on so called '- 20% offer'. Paid 75 pounds to then find out that the same dress on Joe Browns site costed 42 pounds. Not a great experience.

Well what a disappointing experience! Coffee shop has lost all its appeal. Gone is the Ilderton world waitress service. Limited food options , hardly any staff and not even a menu on the table... last time we come from Bournemouth for this.

We had a very enjoyable lunch at Fields yesterday. We were all pleasantly surprised by the choice and quality of the menu. The soup was lovely and the sandwiches generous and tasty. So much better than when we last ate here several years ago when there was still table service. Ver efficient and helpful staff. We did think the choice of cakes could be improved. We will definitely use the cafe more frequently now.

Went to the cafe and a little disappointed. Used to be table service but now we have to queue and order at the counter. A retrograde move which has taken away the former charm of the place. What a shame.

Used word reliable- as though only a limited menu the food served is good, well presented, and served with a smile. At busy times we have found availability of seating an issue but the staff are helpful and polite. A good place to refresh after retail therapy.

What a lovely charming place to visit. Excellent service, lovely coffee and properly made Earl Grey tea with leaves and fresh lemon. Lovely scones, a real pleasure, shame not more cafes like this. The manager, Pan Su Young, is a joy, runs everything very efficiently and has a good team around her too.

I was in Sidmouth today with my friend just for a day out to get art supplies and shopping. It was wet and windy but after a bracing walk across the promenade we were ready for a bite to eat. We popped into Fields which was very busy in the café department! We got a table and ordered our lunch . Waitress service, and our waitress was lovely. My friend has a severe egg allergy but nothing was too much trouble for her and we were both satisfied with light lunches and a cuppa tea. Fairly priced, food came quickly, food was well presented and hot. Pleasurable experience thank you!

Had the most amazing meal, I only ordered a sandwich which was served with the best salad and coleslaw I've had for a long long time, my husband ordered the sausage bap (which he throughly enjoyed) and regretted not ordering the same as I had. I can't reccomend the restaurant enough, the food is first class and the staff are always friendly and extremely helpful. We'll definitely eat there again.

A lovely old fashioned shopping experience. An enormous range of quality products to peruse. Staff are polite and knowledgeable . One of the rare places to shop where you genuinely feel the customer is important. Sadly there appear to be fewer and fewer of these establishments these days. I would certainly suggest a trip to Sidmouth is not quite complete without a trip to Fields.

We used to visit Fields Coffee shop every time we visited Sidmouth. We found it now extraordinarily offensive this past week, (during our recent visit) to place our order with the waiter who immediately asked for payment "UP FRONT" prior to our order being processed. Most unprofessional!

Lovely shop, nice tea in restaurant, just shame about certain staff member on shop floor! Husband was buying Christmas presents with cash - sorry we don't take cash, okay keep goods I will buy somewhere else. We have a cash till downstairs we can escort you down. No thanks. Forget it. Asked reason for no cash - due to Covid. Well maybe management need to wake up a bit because if you listen to the news there is very little chance if catching covid from money, and anyway I had personaly touched all items i was going to buy ! Which were quickly replaced back on the shelf by your staff.

I love this café! Very clean. Lunched there on three occasions in August. Sandwiches are freshly made with a tasty salad. Offered loose tea- so rare these days. The staff are very professional and attentive and personable. . On one visit we were advised that there would be a 25 minute wait for sandwiches- it was a rainy day and lots of people had come into the café, however food arrived much sooner- at least this managed expectations and extra hot water was provided for the tea because of the wait. Most hospitality venues in Sidmouth are advertising for staff, a common problem during the pandemic so sometimes waiting a little while does happen. The staff were really hardworking.

As usual, one of my favourite shops in Sidmouth. The staff are always so helpful. A good old fashion service. I gave one less star as the range of ladies clothes wasn't quite to my style, on this occasion. I prefer natural fabrics and a more bohemian design. Good to see a small range of Joe Brown's' clothes.

My second time to Fields over the last month as I was very impressed by my first visit. All three of us opted for the raditional breakfast, even though it was lunch time and it was absolutely fabulous. Really lovely quality bacon and sausage, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash brown, beans and thick crusty granary toast n butter! You must try it! If you love a good chip, then you must try the chunky chips! I had them before and they are the best, so we couldn't resist ordering a portion to share with the breakfast even though we didnt really need them due to the hash browns! Good service with a smile and scrummy food, what more can you ask! Well done Fields!
