Rosemoor Garden Kitchen — Restaurant in Torridge District

We stopped off here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the options available.

We went for the Sunday lunch and they had a vegan option which was well thought out and absolutely delicious. My husband had the beef roast and said it was cooked to perfection - he described it as better than many places he's deliberately chosen to dine at rather than stumbling in on because it was one of two options available at our location!

The children had a sandwich from the cafe as they were being fussy and the staff were fine with them eating the food at our table, which was a relief.

One thing that was slightly confusing was that you paid for your meal when you ordered. We'd not realised and, had we known, would have ordered pudding at the same time. As it was, we had to call back the waiter to order the second course. Not a massive issue, just something to be aware of.

There was also a mix-up in that I'd ordered a pudding when they'd run out. Being vegan it made everything more complicated, but they ended up getting me a cake from the cafe and refunding the difference. Everyone very pleasant and helpful so it wasn't a big deal.

Apparently they've recently reopened and everyone is still getting used to the new system. I got the sense that a lot of the customers weren't happy with it (as they presumed they'd never get their food once they'd paid!) and the staff seemed rushed off their feet and were dealing with a lot of criticism due to it. It's a shame as they were very polite and helpful and doing their best, so hopefully once it's bedded in they'll be given a bit of slack!

If we lived locally we'd definitely visit more often (it's only accessible once you've paid for entry to the gardens) but as it is, we'll have to go again in a...

Went here twice on our visit to the garden. Fist te was for morning tea, they has a lovely selection of cakes to chose from. The only downside is there was no chocolate cake or brownie. The Almond tart I had was delicious. We then came back for lunch and just had a sandwich and Crisps. Both were really nice and sandwich was fresh. Seating area was easy...

I had the most delicious pork pie lunch here, every little thing was clearly lovingly handmade. We sat in the terrace garden on a nice day. I wasn't the one who payed so cant comment on that, i expect it was pricey. but I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a...
