We chose to stop off at the very picturesque village of Otterton for lunch and decided on the mill after reading reviews. There is a large car park so parking was no issue. The restaurant is located amongst the various mill buildings and is set over two floors. We chose the open beef sandwich which came with salad and crisps. We also chose a side of triple cooked chips to share. The food was great, service polite and the overall cost not excessive. We finished off our visit with a look round the mill gift and craft shop along with the mill workings which are still in use to supply the on site artisan bakery. A very nice visit.

Excellent experience. We had a wonderful time at the Otterton Mill and so did my brother's dog who was well behaved. We sat outside. The atmosphere was warm and friendly with other customers chatting amongst themselves. The food was fresh and delicious. I had local pan fried fish on a bed of chopped potatoes and other vegetables. It was cooked to perfection and a delight to eat. My companions had fish and chips which were very tasteful and the other dish was portobello mushrooms which were healthy and enjoyed thoroughly. The staff were all friendly and professional and made us feel welcomed. I would recommend the Otterton Mill for a meal, refreshments, and fresh produce from the shop. The craft shop also stocks many interesting items to purchase and look at.

The mill is funded by the shop and restaurant so there is no cost to see it. A few notes around explain how the mill works and it is kept in a presentable and working condition. If there was a schedule of when the milling activities were taking place then that would be good and during the summer holidays they should consider (if feasible) more than twice a month. We did buy some gifts and some bread from the shop. However, we did eat the bread two days after so was not as tasty as it could have been, but it was good still. NB. Bread was pricier than superstore prices (but that is expected), but this cost cover the whole experience. Definitely a place to visit and if you buy the local produce, you will have good quality locally produce food and support the mill.

We and our local family are regular visitors to Otterton Mill all year round, enjoying lunches and teas in the café, or picking up bread and unique gifts in the farm shop and gallery. We knew that the rustic setting of the characterful buildings and external spaces presented a unique and interesting atmosphere, so when it came to choosing a venue to celebrate a special anniversary, we were delighted that they could accommodate us for a private evening party. This also included being able to arrange our own band to play, with their guidance. Prior to the evening we met with the owner and head chef to walk through food options selected from their regular menu, plus a few special extras. These included some of our favourites from the café; quiche; bruschetta; mackerel pate; a selection of local cheeses and of course scones! The resulting buffet was delicious, catered for all tastes and was thoughtfully presented. The party was a great success and guests from all over the country commented on the terrific venue, the great food & drink, and particularly, the incredibly efficient, yet informal, service offered by the delightful young team. Thank you Otterton Mill for a fantastic evening!
