The Greenhouse in North Devon

The staff were friendly: the service was quick; the food was excellent and the loos were clean. That rates ten out of ten with me!

Had ham and cheese Toastie. Ham was too thick and tuff to cut . Let alone eat. Tiny salad and a few crisps £11.00 overpriced and awful food . Same experience for other people in the group. Won’t be back . Would not recommend at all. Waiting time was long aswell. Bad food bad experience

Stopped here for a scone and a pot of tea while my wife and son went to the Toy Museum round the corner (also well worth a visit!) it's dog friendly which is good for us. The scone was crispy on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside, just how I like it. Would have preferred raspberry jam over strawberry, but that's just my preference. Well worth a visit.

We popped in after having a wonder around Lynton & Lynmouth and we were greeted by a lovely chap. We found the place very welcoming with a great atmosphere. We will look forward to coming back!

The man behind the bar seemed rushed off his feet despite it being quiet. I sat alone eating an alright pizza and he sat a couple tight next to me even though there were plenty of less awkward a spaces for them to sit! It just all felt a bit chaotic and not chilled. Music could be a little loud to cover the quiet.

Came for breakfast and dinner, and the food was delicious! everything was cooked and presented well, as were the cocktails. The restaurant is beautiful, spacious and a great atmosphere for a couples or friends dinner. Our waiter sam was so polite, chatty and helpful when i asked questions about the menu. i have never had service up to the standard he gives! he went out of his way to make the guests happy, so really appreciated that!!

Amazing food, I had the veggie burger and hubby had a cheese burger. It was fresh and mouthwatering. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Staff were happy and professional and chatty and made the visit so worthwhile. I'd highly recommend a visit. Looking forward to next time we are down this way x

After walking the valley of rocks we decided to have lunch here it was a very good decision right from entering we were made to feel welcome all the staff were second to none I had a curry which was amazing my wife had jacket pot with tuna again really nice we had to deserts crumble and custard and sticky toffee pudding and ice cream it was all very nice very reasonably priced and of very high quality thank you for a great meal will deffinatly be back Ash and Kaz

Lovely atmosphere & lovely food. Fantastic service especially from Sam - so polite, couldn’t do enough. He made our experience all the more memorable! A real asset for any business !!

The greenhouse has a great atmosphere and is super friendly staff! We were welcomed in, and they gave us a table without booking. I love the decor; a greenhouse theme with plans and quirky patterns. The food was a great quality and value, I had a delicious smash burger followed by a sticky toffee pudding, all of which was prepared impeccably. Not only that, the portion sizes were massive, which was great for me cause I'm a hungry boy. Special thanks to Sam, who helped us out on the evening and made us feel at home, a few special requests that he happily helped us out with. Great place to eat, 10 out of 10 would recommend it.

I came here for lunch and loved the decor and vibe. Coffee was also good. We had bacon and Brie baguettes with chips, and my baguette tasted so bad of cheap margarine. The filling was nice so I ate that and left the bread. I would return, but I will definitely order something different next time!

Beautiful Sunday lunch last weekend, really tasty. Great value, service and drinks choice. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Visited for a light lunch. Friendly service. Interesting freshly made dishes. Coffee particularly good. Enjoyed "retro" background music. Home made fishcakes excellent. Home made soup very tasty, hot and good sized portion.

We were on a visit over new year. We dined on New Year’s Eve, staff were so friendly, food was hot when it came to the table and we all agreed our food was very tasty. Cocktails were great too! Also visited for breakfast a couple of mornings later - also tasty and warm.

Great pub with friends was great fun and have a brilliant time Will be returning Been here for a pub quiz as well and was brilliant

A bit quirky i suppose you might say. Comfortable seating. Large 'conservatory' at the front looking out onto the main street. Nice staff but service for just coffee was a bit slow. It was nice enough.

Stopped here for something to eat as not many places seemed to be open in the early afternoon. Absolutely delicious burger and chips. Wow. Friendly staff and chilled out vibe. Deffo recommend.

We really enjoyed the Greenhouse atmosphere and food. We started with lunch when I had a baked spud with cheese and coleslaw and thoroughly enjoyed it. We went back for tea and cake and ended up having supper there as well. Friendly and helpful staff, especially Samuel who looked after us in the evening. Well done team Greenhouse and thank you.

Microwaved jacket potato with the smallest possible portion of salad…and that was it. £10.50 with no other dressing options or additional butter. Just basic and minimal.

We had four steak diners here on a Friday evening, the food was good and the service ok. Lacked a little atmosphere but was reasonable value.

Only popped in for a drink, would’ve potentially had more or visited for dinner but wasn’t the warmest of welcomes. Both women were miserable and we weren’t made to feel welcome at all. Nice decor, toilets could do with a refurb. Disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, so much so we went back the following night. The food was really tasty & plentiful. It was busy, however, the service from all we encountered was friendly & efficient with a special thanks to Samuel for his 'service with a smile'. Well done to Scott and team, loved the atmosphere.

Lovely Sunday Lunch, one beef & one nut roast. Lovely vegetables & added cauliflower cheese. Polite & efficient service. Didn’t have dessert. Thank you

Really good food, great atmosphere with wonderful staff. I have to recommend the young man called Samuel who went beyond to be friendly and attentive whilst so professional. We will return!! Thank you for a lovely evening.

This was a great find. We went in for coffee and went back for dinner. The food was excellent but the service was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful and smiling, such a refreshing experience compared to many places we visit. Nothing was too much trouble and it was very busy, rightly so.

Went as a couple for an evening meal. Staff were all very friendly. The food was hot and tasty. I would recommend to anyone to try. My only slight criticism would be the menu is a little small.

A very well presented cafe in Lynton, lovely quirky decor. We had lunch, sandwiches, pizza, baked potato and some drinks. The food was delicious (especially the bruschetta) but unfortunately service was slow and as a party of eight, we were all eating at different times. The staff were friendly and accommodating and apologetic when we asked where our food was.

A smallish menu but reasonably priced, food is excellent quality, portions are a good size and very tasty. Can recommend the steaks.

Only stopped for a coffee but we had a warm welcome and enjoyed a couple of well-made cappuccinos. We will be returning for food - the breakfasts looked amazing!

Always a shame that so many places in the UK close early so was delighted to find the Greenhouse still serving after 20.30 We were strolling around the lovely streets of Lynton and fancied an ice cream dessert. Couldn’t find anywhere selling them that was still open so popped in here and asked. Opted for coffee and chocolate brownie. Then suddenly one of the staff appeared, having overheard my request, and presented me and my friend with an ice cream each in a tub. Really nice touch so I thought I’d give them a shout out. Great customer service and delicious ice cream, coffee and brownie!

Good food, very pleasant surroundings & dogs are welcome too. The only criticism we had was that the table top needed a good scrub, my cup stuck to it so when I went to slide the cup across the tea went everywhere! A bit of elbow grease required on the cleaning there. All fine otherwise & we plan to return when we visit Lynton again.

Popped in for a cream tea after a long walk. The fruit scones were the best we had tasted, freshly made that morning by the staff who were friendly and helpful. Totally recommend a visit to this lovely place.

Gorgeous scones & coffee in lovely surroundings over 8 different scone types 2x lattes 1 x flat white and 1 cappuchino £29 3 scones 4 coffees a tad expensive

Visited this beautiful part of Devon. The Green house does a fine cream tea. Choice of scones and Tea. Very well presented. Also offers other great food options. Very friendly staff lovely and clean and not expensive. Worth a visit

A lovely place to have a break. Managed to get a table outside. We ordered a second drink, it was not busy & upon checking the receipt I was charged double for a coffee. I paid contactless & a second member of the staff came to help with the refund. I was given a paper refund receipt & was told no need for me to show my debit/credit card for the refund. Not sure how long it takes for the refund to be debited as yet not showing on my account after 24 hours. But will check again in a few days.

Came for breakfast on a recommendation from a member of staff . Was not disappointed 5 star experience.

Called in out of the rain as looked inviting. In brief the coffee was good but the food was poor. We spoke with management who told us that a new menu had been introduced including quiche with coleslaw and the price had been increased. Unfortunately we received a cold quiche without coleslaw which I didn’t enjoy and was charged the new price. Although we were offered a replacement we agreed that any refund could be put in the charity box. Doesn’t score lowest score because the redeeming feature was the coffee which tasted good. Also pleasant atmosphere inside.

The Greenhouse has always been a favourite place to come for lunch or a coffee and cake in Lynton over the years and we were not disappointed this time either. The scones we had were exceptional. I haven’t tasted such beautiful homemade scones for years and the new couple running the Greenhouse are providing some lovely food. I can highly recommend it.

Ordered the dish of the day a Spanish potato dish. It arrived with the outside hot and the inside stone cold. The manager came who did not bother to introduce herself and I had to ask who she was. She said we test all our food with a probe. Well this one obviously wasn’t no apology and a look on her face of how dare I question her food I simply requested a refund. As I am obviously disabled she wanted me to go to the till for my refund I declined. It was only when she came back with the change she offered me a scone. Needs to improve her people skills.

Lovely warm welcome into a clean, bright tearoom . Had fabulous coffee and warmed cheese scones with butter and chutney . Lovely vibe to sit and chat and really top quality offerings .

Residents from a North Devon Housing Charity enjoyed a delicious cream tea at the Greenhouse this week. The manager gave us all a warm welcome and let us stay as long as we needed. . There was a range of scones on offer and generous portions of cream and jam. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit. I would recommend it highly for individuals or small groups.

Enjoyed a pleasant lunch in this cafe. Beautiful window spot to watch everyone walk by. Clean, tidy and efficient staff. Choose your meal and pay at the till. Waitress service for food. Two perfectly decent toasties with salad and coleslaw on the side and a delicious crab sandwich for the husband. Cold drinks and alcoholic drinks available. Spacious and nice buzz of atmosphere. Perfect stop to rest our feet. Food is reasonably priced given it's a tourist area and it's a good location opposite the top of the slope if you come off the Cliff Railway or walk up from Lynmouth. Service was slick despite it being a busy half term.

Visited on Friday 07th October 2022 We took shelter from inclement weather in The Greenhouse Tearoom in Lynton for lunch. Order at the counter and pay in advance rather than table service. Teapots are very small which is disappointing and it felt like the whole cafe in terms of food and crockery is a little bit form over function.

Very bright,open,spacious cafe,first visit to the Greenhouse!! Food excellent,good service,overall very enjoyable

Lovely place, lovely staff and great food / coffee. Came on with the family and had a great brunch. Great location as straight off the train

What a find! This is our first visit since the new management took over. The scones were fantastic. The place is bright airy and clean and the staff welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be going back!

The staff are lovely and all very comfortable but realised there are no prices anywhere. Quite surprised that two drinks and two scones was nearly £16. Would have queried but didn't think of it till after. Cashless is too easy!!

Met by rude staff, tables and floors are messy, most of the food sold out, made do with the sausage rolls in the cabinet (which is fine) but salad had a few sprigs of lettuce on the side. Not like the other photos from others....

Fabulous food and drinks and even better service. Please support this wonderful restaurant when you're in the area. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent service. Swiftly served good quality homemade food. Great selection of fayre. Sausage rolls are delicious. Coffees are barista quality. Dogs welcome and kids.

My wife and I have visited this restaurant on many occasions but our most recent visit can only be described as very disappointing. We ordered 2 coffees and 2 bacon bloomers (bacon sandwich). When ordering, I requested the bacon to be well done, preferably crispy....

Excellent scones, with plenty of jam and clotted cream. The coffee was superb. This cafe was a welcome finale to a long days walking. Will definitely return in the future.

Had breakfast (smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast) and it was perfect! My other half had a full breakfast which he really enjoyed. Service was excellent too with friendly obliging staff.

Got recommended by a friend to visit when we were here. Ten of us seated no problem. Got told there would be a 25 minute wait for food which actually was only 15 minutes. Food was great and reasonably priced

Just lovely. Ten of us arrived and they said there’s be a bit of a wait for food, but within 15 minutes our food came out hot and delicious. Highly recommended! Limited menu of sandwiches and toasties but all cooked well and served beautifully 😋
