The Kitchen at Combe Garden Centre — Restaurant in East Devon

Waited at the 'please wait to be seated' sign where the staff member just proceeded to look at their checklist for a few minutes and couldn't even acknowledge us. Another member of staff eventually came over to show us to a table.

Order was taken and food delivered within 10 minutes but drinks came about 10 minutes against.

We were on a long journey so decided a sweet treat so my wife went up to the counter to get us something where she was told to sit down as orders had to be taken at the table. When she stated that without looking what was available she wouldn't know what to order (a fair point) they agreed to take them order at the till but rather than her take the cages then we had to wait for the waitress to bring them over... 15 minutes later.

It was very busy, so perhaps it would be better on a quieter day, but I don't think I would hurry back as there are lots of other options...
