About

Nestled in the heart of Devon’s beautiful Otter Valley, Otter Valley Ice Cream & Field Kitchen is a family‑run haven where artisanal gelato, freshly baked pizzas and light lunches are made from scratch using local dairy and seasonal ingredients. Since its opening in 2010, it has evolved from a humble summerhouse into a stunning stone‑based kitchen overlooking the rolling Blackdown Hills. Patrons can enjoy a range of classic flavours—Madagascan vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and honeycomb—alongside innovative seasonal specials such as creamy ginger‑butternut squash and fragrant Sea Buckthorn. The restaurant’s panoramic glass walls offer sweeping views of the valley, while the dog‑friendly outdoor terrace invites guests of all ages to relax in the sunshine. With its award‑winning quality, welcoming atmosphere and emphasis on locally sourced produce, Otter Valley Ice Cream & Field Kitchen is the ideal destination for families, food lovers and travelers seeking a taste of Devon’s culinary tradition.
