The Willow Tree in Torbay

Brilliant service and food as always. Still one of the best in the Bay. Had a great a outside eating area to looking out over woodland.

We often go here because the food is always great, they even cater for our autistic child. The staff are lovely especially Tania. She is always welcoming and gets whatever we need with a smile on her face. Thank you.

Friendly staff lovely atmosphere.

Very nice place to visit , superb staff and food , plenty of space and very dog friendly too

Rachel and Leela were excellent hosts. Food was carvery and pizza which were equally excellent. Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Don’t miss an opportunity to visit

Lovely food, lovely service lovely Sunday lunch yesterday will definitely go back again. Pity some of the people that come in now didn’t have the respect to the staff they should have but I suppose that’s life with people have no respect for staff.

Wow what a transformation after the new refurb! Fantastic food and amazingly friendly staff. Great prices and wide selection menu. The bubble waffles are seriously impressive my daughters eyes lit up.

Food tasted the same but charged us more because they had a change to the place. Wouldn’t come here again, gravy had hard bits in it , meat was solid, and what a waste of money.

Welcomed with a warm greeting at the door, service was amazing and the food was affordable and very nice. Lovely staff and amazing atmosphere. 10/10 !

Food not hot. Pudding lovely . Very , very, noisy. Food not hot enough. Engine room food much more Appetising.

Meat was solid gravy was lumpy and hard bits in it the price was shocking the food had no flavour and tasted all the same. Never coming again would not recommend it asked for Fanta and gave us Tango pudding took forever to come my brownie was FROZEN bits in it never coming back it’s the same old crap willow tree just more expensive never ever ever coming back

Absolutely brilliant service from Shirley behind the bar . Well done 👏

I visited the Willows again and was met and greeted by Shirley. She was friendly, knowledgeful and warm! I cannot recommend her service enough!!

Greeted by Shirley , regulars at the willow tree come along most weeks with supported living very welcoming and accommodating , service , atmosphere and food is great

Came to the willow tree with a group on a Saturday. We were welcomed by Shirley, she showed us to our table. The staff were happy and helpful throughout. Thankyou for a lovely dinning experience, much appreciated.

Popped in for a carvery with the family. Was not disappointed at all, lovely place with great food fresh for the carvery. Shirley was very attentive and great with the kids also Would definitely recommend

Shirley was great, service was fab and quick. Good attention to detail and very friendly. Portions were also large and good value for the money, particularly the carvery.

The price for the food and how much you get is absolutely amazing. The service was amazing Shirley was very friendly and very helpful

Shirley was lovely and friendly and service was amazing. Food was very well portioned and tasted great

Lovely time at the Willow Tree, looks absolutely stunning after it's refurbishment. Shirley was very kind and accommodating for us all

Tania gave us a first class service again. We always sit in her section. She is friendly and professional. Thanks for another great recommendation Tania. We had a fab evening.

I booked a table for 4 at 12.30 on 11/4/2025. We ordered our meals separately within about 1 minute between us. One meal was served, about 8minutes later a second meal was served then about 15 minutes later the final 2 meals were served, by this time the first person that was served had finished their meal. We had to go to the bar and ask the staff where the final 2 meals were. I was rather upset as this was a birthday celebration meal which we were all looking forward to. Hopefully the service will improve for our next visit, we have been coming to The Willow Tree for several years and have not experienced this service in the past.

Second visit in a month. Tania was fab! Very attentive and friendly

Good for a dinner out at the end of holiday, chips were cold unfortunately, and the peas were overdone. But service was good, nice restaurant with plenty of disabled parking with ramp entrance, great offers with the website or app too

We have loved this spot for a carvery for years to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. Liam was super patient with all of our voucher codes and was very friendly. Great customer service and great food. Thanks Liam!

Went for breakfast. Good selection from self service cooked buffet with unlimited toast, tea and coffee too. Venue recently refurbished to a good standard and remains a welcoming and attractive site with tables cleared and cleaned promptly.

What a fantastic lady full of joy Shirley ,made our lunch really lovely will come again

Great food lovely pub to dine in Shirley was a great help and waitress . Would definitely becoming again

Great staff, very busy 6-7, nice roast, burger not great

Walked 30 mins.They wouldn’t let us in.Lost on £40 Never go there again 🤬😡

Great revamp, looks really modern and fresh inside. 3 course set menu was very good value, we tried all the starters which were very nice! Carvery was good, we didn't realise it stopped at a certain time so had limited options. All the deserts were lovely, as was our server Tania. We'll be back!

Absolutely love the new pub It’s great

Food was incredible. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout the visit. Will definitely be returning. 😊

Good food, good service. Friendly staff

Great service from Liam who always goes above and beyond! Thank you I will be back!

Booked a table for 9. Was served by Tania, who was more than helpful, and we know it wasn't a one off as the last time we went to Stonehouse we were served by her and she was equally as helpful. Food was as good as always, in our party we had 6 adults, 1 teen and 2 children under 10, so we had a mixture of meals ordered all were good 👍 Will definitely be returning.

Had a meal for the grandkids on Wednesday good food excellent service from staff heads up to Rachel who went above and beyond, will definitely be back

Tania was a great host very professional! Thank you for the great service!

lovely place lovely food but really long wait after ordering (about 45-50 mins) wouldn't have minded as much if we'd been warned it would be a long wait. I know running a service is hard though and the food was lovely :)

Clean, friendly and great customer service. Food was good and carvery looked delicious!

Such a lovely place to enjoy a delicious meal, with such reasonable prices. And lovely staff.

Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice and plenty of it. Was very impressed and reasonable prices.

Our server was called Rachel and she was the kindest helpful woman ,constantly checking on us and making sure we were happy with our food and making sure we didn’t need anything and if we did need anything she was straight on it ,made us feel so welcomed , what a lovely experience.

Shirley was amazing, no faults whatsoever. Whole team went above and beyond

Always a lovely experience at the willow tree. The refurbishment is really lovely and looks very happy, however, we have found it is now harder for wheelchair access, we usually come as a group and sit at the back with sometimes at least two wheelchair users and we found it difficult to get to the back due to a table being in the middle of the walk way. The customers were lovely and moved for us to get through but this shouldn’t be necessary. This needs to be improved really to make it accessible for everyone like it was before. Spoke with Tania and she was very helpful with this and have advised to us to leave some feedback on here:)

I Highly recommend eating here! Many thanks to Rachel for her excellent service. 👍🏻

Looks great since the refurbishment! Staff still as lovely as ever... Good good!

Stopped in for an "all you can eat" breakfast. I was greeted by Becky who was really professional and explained where I needed to go (first tume fie me). The food was really good value for money. I will definitely be coming back.

Willow Tree - Torquay: Excellent food and service; a special thanks to Rachel and Alishia for looking after us. We always enjoy the food. It's particularly pleasant and relaxing after the refurbishment. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing 👏 Rachel and the team was great 👍 highly recommend ❤️

Looking great after the refit and still excellent value. Thank you again Karen for your excellent service. The best carvery in Torquay,

Absolutely brilliant. Love the new look. Staff excellent service, big shout to Aleshia, Karen, Rachel and Liam, you all worked so hard, and were very polite and caring. Food excellent, always look forward to going. Thank you all. Christine

Staff very friendly very clean love the new colours can’t wait to visit

Highly recommend, great food, excellent service. Our server Becky was exceptional. The pizza and bubble waffles are phenomenal 😋

My family and I are regular customers. The food and customer service is always fantastic. Shirley and the rest of the team are always very polite and helpful, and will quite often find time to chat to us.

Went here tonight with friends from college 8 in total new decor amazing very helpful staff Liam on bar very helpful and fast Racheal and Alesha in the restaurant super friendly food very tasty and come out very quick thank you will def return

Came here tonight with my family for a meal, food was brought out quickly despite it being busy and was hot and delicious, many thanks to Rheese for the lovely pizzas! All the staff were lovely and helpful

Love the revamp, place looks great, my daughter had a pizza and I had the carvery both were spot on and service was great, highly recommend.

Very rude customer sevice from red head "manager", doesnt appreciate regular custom. Will avoid now

Had an amazing time at willow tree ! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious,perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Great selection of drinks as well, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a relaxed night out. Will definitely be back!

Gorgeous refurbishment. Fresh and clean, with a lovely nod to the traditional pub styling, too. Shirley welcomed us and was happy to serve us a morning coffee. She was very complimentary about their recent developments and encouraged us to check out the garden area as we said we might sit outside. The new tables, chairs, and garden planters are a perfect setting for the coming spring and summer sun!

Fantastic refurbishment the new dishs look amazing, the carvery is fresh and hot and the bubble waffles are to die for. If you haven't been yet your missing out

Went in for lunch with family today , food was great , clean fresh staff are great too would definitely recommend to anyone ! Will be returning very soon ! It's a 10 out of 10 from us 😊

Lovely restaurant with amazing staff! Looks absolutely amazing after the refurbishment and the new dishes taste absolutely stunning. Bubble waffles look and taste amazing; would definitely recommend sharing one of these with a family or friend😋

Visited since the refurbishment, food was brilliant and glad to see new options on the menu, staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall a fantastic experience, will be going again for the Alforno dishes.

Honestly, I’m really disappointed. I had a table booked with my friends for 6pm. The three of us had ordered our food by 6:10pm. And by 6:55 their excuse was that there’s a lot of desert orders at the moment. I’m sorry but how can it take 45 minutes to put some icecream in a cup. Next time I’m just going to get a Ben and jerries. In the end when I did get my food, there was no apology either.

Ordered a Sundae and had a 50 minute wait with no warning. Currently still waiting.

Wonderful evening at the Willow Tree for my father in laws birthday. Excellent food and exceptional service from start to finish. What a gem of a place! Will definitely be returning soon.

Absolutely amazing experience. They incorrectly put our order in wrong but we were happy with what was ordered it was corrected. And it was perfect! Amazing staff! Tania was amazing made us feel welcome and did an amazing job. But all staff were amazing!

Amazing service from all the staff here, Tania our waitress was fantastic, food was served hot and very good value for money!

The Willow Tree looks incredible after their refurb, completely transformed the restaurant. The team are lovely and the food is amazing. Would definitely recommend going here!

The service was great, was super friendly and welcoming. We had the carvery which was tasty and well cooked. I also had a rocky road waffle, which was to die for, honestly, the best desert I've had in a long time. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks

Nice refurb food was good nice bar staff and tana was great service. Apparently no quiz no any Moore 😖

Good food, Great service provided by Tania, the place looks really nice after the refurbishment. Will come back

Popped in on Sunday 9th March with mum without a reservation just for a snack. This wasn't a problem. Lovely welcome on walking in and shown to a lovely table. Place looks amazing after refurb! Ordering was quick and food was lovely. Karen who looked after us and has done on previous visits always has a smile and a chat with us. Very attentive.

Visited after the recent refurbishment and was very impressed with the new look. Have tried breakfast and evening meals now and they have all been great, definitely going back to try more from the menu. Staff are fantastic so friendly and helpful

We were served by Karen and she was amazing great customer service…thanks we will return

What an amazing restaurant, quality service, staff and food full 5* ratings across the board. Just had an amazing renovation and it looks incredible!

Great Refurb and pub looks stunning 😍

Visited the willow tree for my birthday after their newly renovation. The food was amazing, all came out super quick and hot. Although the lasagna definitely needs chips as the garlic sticks were a bit stale :( The deserts were to die for! The staff members Rachael and Cam were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Food is what you expect for the price, Rachel the waitress was really lovely, very friendly.

I would like to give a huge shoutout to Andy and his team at Stonehouse for their outstanding service. Cheers Shirley for sorting Kylas Ice Cream. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was fantastic, with a wide variety of options that even catered to the kids. Overall, we were thoroughly pleased with our experience. Thank you once again!

What a fabulous make over .. the food was delicious the staff were lovely very helpful. Will definitely be returning

Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic re-image at The Willow Tree which has covered all areas of the business. The outside area is welcoming and plenty of room in the garden for the summer months. Inside the colour scheme is bright and vibrant and with the Daily deals they have I'm sure they will be very busy. Staff were warm and welcoming and all members of the team were insightful and thankful for the re-image.

Excellent most enjoyable food very nice staff extremely helpful.

Thank you Tania x Lovely service😊

Always been amazing food but definitely improved since the refurbishment

Lovely team, especially Tania who checked in at our table this evening. Carvery was good though cauliflower cheese was not hot. Pizzas were great but the lasagne was soupy, hardly any pasta. The desserts were amazing!

The Willow tree has just had a major overhaul, and just reopened, food is great the decor is amazing and as for Shirley she is an asset to you

A really excellent carvery lunch in delightful, refreshed surroundings, presented by top-notch, friendly and caring staff who clearly have pride in their workplace. We are sure to become regulars - many thanks!

Great food, excellent value for money and lovely staff 😊

Excellent food, excellent staff, Becky was amazing, so helpful. Would recommend Thank you Val

Speed of service was amazing with an amazing atmosphere. Ria was especially amazing

Came down for the re-opening, looks amazing, staff were very friendly, was served by Liam who was friendly and poured a fantastic pint. If you’ve not been down in a while, it’s well worth it

Had a very good meal Sharon was very helpful

Refurbishment is really nice, service received by Connor was very pleasant.

Fantastic decor, great service and very friendly staff, superb food I will definitely be back

We used to be regulars at The Willow tree. We loved the lightly battered fish which before the pandemic was served alone and you then added what you wished from the carvery. Now the fish is heavily battered and served with a big pile of chips plus peas. It is nowhere near as nice as it used to be so we don't come very often now. Please go back to the original way of serving this dish, please.

Had a fabulous dinner at the willow tree tonight for the pre opening. The Willow Tree looks amazing after the refurbishment. Staff were superb Liam, Aleesha, and Cam on bar were very friendly and accommodating. Ria, Karen, Rachel, Tammy, and Connor ran the food, they were so cheerful and couldn't do enough . Compliments to the chefs food was amazing. I definitely recommend it. A very warm and friendly atmosphere. Well done to all.
