Willow always provides a selection of healthy, tasty and very original food. Although I have been eating and cooking vegetarian food for over 40 years, Willow always comes up with something new and different. The lunch dishes include a choice of at least two main dishes, quiches and salads containing unusual and seasonal ingredients. I had a tofu and courgette... More

We visit Willow whenever we go to the South Hams and our most recent visits were as good as we remember. Willow has a great curry night every Wednesday and the curries are just immense. On Friday nights they have live music and food. We attended on both occasions and were very happy with our experiences. The staff were even... More

Whenever I am in Totnes, I eat here,I have travelled many a mile to eat at this place out of frustration of trying to find variety in vegan/vegetarian food. What a refreshing change from the usual on offer for veggies, such as cheese and Tom sandwiches, jacket pot with cheese, and oh the usual pasta and tin toms poured over... More

I have eaten at the Willow many times and every meal has been a delight - if it's a lentil-heavy blast from the past then I for one am glad. Unpretentious and basic, this restaurant boasts a lovely courtyard garden that becomes a summer sun-trap and a family room where children can play, draw or wander at will. Green and... More

Enjoyed a lovely meal with children and friends. There were 7 of us so we booked a table in the family room. Food was fresh and tasty and everything home-made and mainly organic. Delicious fresh salad portions and good value options for children. Counter service was a little strange, demarcated roles for taking orders for food or drink seemed unnecessarily... More

Why is it that some vegetarian restaurants are stuck vividly in the 80's? My wife is vegetarian/vegan and while I eat meat I enjoy well prepared vegetarian food. We went to Willow for lunch. Place was busy and wide menu choices. It looks like some vegetarian restaurant owners think vegetarian restaurants should look like - grubby, chaotic and overloaded with... More

We had lunch here and although we are both meat eaters, after this experience we are seriously considering vegetarianism! The salads are superb as are the other dishes. To be honest there is so much to choose from you could be there a week and not get through everything. Staff are friendly, efficient and helpful and the Chef needs to... More

Willow doesn't seemed to have changed in 20 years. Back then vegetarianism was a novelty. This place is a Legend. Be prepared to switch off your mobile phone, share a long table with others and pretend rock was young and protest songs were in the charts.

I have visited over the years Totnes and Willow several times, the two go hand in hand. I often think of driving there from the New Forest just for lunch and the ambience of the place. I have never been disappointed with the delicious vegetarian food that is served there. I only wish is that Lymington had something similar. By... More
