Otter Valley Ice Cream
Located in Devon in the beautiful Otter Valley & Blackdown Hills, Otter Valley Field Kitchen is a small family business based on our fourth generation dairy farm. Our handcrafted artisan ice creams and sorbets remain at the centre of our success as we strive to make ice cream how it should be - smooth, creamy, full of flavour and irresistibly indulgent.

Using our own cow's milk from the farm along with the finest natural ingredients and handmade ripples, we have flavours to tempt everyone's taste buds. From the traditional Madagascan Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry and Honeycomb to the more unusual, seasonal specials such as Cream Tea, Ginger & Butternut Squash and Seabuckthorn.

Alongside the ice cream, our field kitchen offers a range of light lunches and sweet treats using only the best locally sourced seasonal ingredients. We are very proud to hand-craft all of our pizzas to order using sourdough which is made and proven in house accompanied by the freshest toppings, all cooked in our very own freestanding stone based pizza oven.

Otter Valley Ice Cream and Field kitchen, certainly is an exciting place to be, and we absolutely love what we do. The new building, which replaces the summerhouse, marks the start of a new chapter for Otter Valley. Beneath the oak trusses high overhead, walls of glass allow you to experience panoramic views of the unspoilt Otter Valley.
Our gelato style ice cream is made from scratch, only ever in small batches, it's full of flavour and irresistibly indulgent. Our flavours change on a seasonal and rotating basis - making in small handmade batches allows us to be creative with our flavours, keep an eye on our Facebook page for our weekly special.
Homemade sourdough breadsticks, slices of Lonza, Coppa, cider chorizo, fennel salami and Draycott salami from a local charcuterie, alongside local Brie and goats cheese. PIZZA - Our sourdough pizza bases, are handmade in our kitchen everyday - slowly proven and then hand formed. Paired with the finest san marzano tomato base and the best local ingredients.

Fabulous lunch. Incredibly convenient heading home on A30 from Devon to Wiltshire, but we'd have happily gone out of our way not to miss this gem of a place. Reasonably priced, very delicious, comfortable chairs and cosy atmosphere. I'll def be back and this time with a cool box so I can stock up with ice cream - as good as I've ever slurped 😋

Wow! I think this is probably the best breakfast I’ve had for a while. We especially liked the gourmet hash browns and quality sausages. I needed a doggy bag for my toast as the amounts are impressive!! Very warm welcome from friendly staff too. Thank you.

Delicious ice-cream made on site. Fabulous hand stretched, wood fired pizza, with gluten free option. Dogs welcome on leads and at outside tables. The beautiful views over the farm and valley are a tonic. Definitely worth a visit. Staff were friendly. Very busy, but the waiting times were not too long at all and with the quality of the food and a great modern venue, it was worth it. Will be sure to return for a breakfast soon and will leave room for some cake. It all looked delicious 😋.

Milkshake made with their gelato tastes amazing. Sandwich was tasty but not much to it. but looking around the pizzas and sausage rolls also look really good.
Service was good and they have a nice view too.

Always a lovely trip here, ice cream is amazing. Would love to see a hazelnut or Turkish delight flavour there one day. Vanilla definitely gets a paws 🐾 up from Duck!

I think it is the best cafe I have ever been to! Huge variety of ice-cream flavours, pizza, coffee and stunning views! I wish it was closer than 2.5 hours from our home. Highly recommend.

"Coffee stop" on bike ride. Ended up having a pizza as well, which turned out to be a great decision as it was amazing. Looking forward to trying the ice cream on my next visit.
Staff helpful and friendly. Passed the "can I have some water for my water bottle?" test.
Located on busy A30 which can cause issue when leaving back towards Honiton. Be patient.
Will definitely revisit.
