Private functions:
We can open in the evening (early evenings) for a private party-minimum number of people 15 and up to about 30 ( less than this and there would have to be a surcharge to cover extra costs incurred). Bookings have already been taken as it is such a lovely venue.
Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten free food:
we do not use any eggs, meat or fish in any of our dishes. All the food on the menu is suitable for lacto vegetarians(most of our customers have no special dietary requirements-they just love the food!). Most of the food we prepare has a Vegan option ( the Boss is Vegan!)& there is an extensive range of meals that are suitable for those on a gluten free diet.

Work/jobs:
Send in your CV & if a job becomes available then you will be considered.
At present there are no vacancies as we have a loyal team in place & have just taken on another full time member to cover the extra help needed as we grow in popularity but the plan is to expand so extra help will be needed in the future.

Workshops:
Work on the studio is now complete then there will be workshops held from silversmithing-card making -ceramics-painting-sculpture-etc.
These courses are aimed at different levels of ability from beginner to advanced. Dates & details will be posted on this sight.As space is limited it will be based on a first come,first serve basis-so it would be advisable to register quickly in order to secure your place. The plan is to make it a destination place so we are working with the local B & B's to present a set of options of what's on offer here in Seaton and the surrounding area.

Products tested on animals:
Anna Pola would never knowingly use anything that caused any suffering to any animal.We have the co-op eco range of cleaning products and also some from the eco Waitrosse range.If something has slipped through the net then please name the product so that we can remove it from the building and follow up with a letter of complaint to the manufacturer. If you're in the building then please tell us how you think we can improve things as the more eyes the better and that is how we can move forward. Our aim is to have a space full of positive,good energy where people including those who work there feel safe and uplifted.
REVIEW BY ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS:
We have an ultimate goal to work our way round all the vegetarian eating establishments on the VegetarianDevon.com website. So on Sunday 19th of December it was the turn of The Terrace Arts Café in Seaton.
This was also an opportunity to invite my daughter and partner to join us as a Christmas present from us. Art Anna Pola (The Terrace Arts Café) was running a special Christmas menu which we decided to try out and needed advance selection. Having made our four menu choices the week before we waited with anticipation for Sunday and our trip to Seaton from our home in Chagford and my daughter in Bristol . Unfortunately the weather contrived to spoil things and my daughter was stranded in Bristol and lost out on her Christmas meal. Nothing however was going to stop us getting there, so just the two of us arrived for lunch. We had never been before, so on arriving in Seaton we asked a pedestrian for directions, the comment along with the directions was ‘a good choice, we wish we were going there’ which was an excellent recommendation.
The Terrace Arts Café is in an elevated position on the sea front, and even in mid December has a spectacular view out to sea. We were greeted with a glass of warm mulled wine and had a wander down stairs to view some of the local art which it seems changes with frequent differing exhibitions. The food was a pleasant surprise, I have to admit to low expectations when choosing a vegetarian Christmas menu yet here each course was presented superbly with taste to match. I started with Artichoke & watercress salad with blue cheese dressing, one of the best starters I have had anywhere followed with Brocolli & Creamy Cheese 'en Croute with a substantial array of side dishes. At this point I was unable to contemplate my third course of local cheeses so these were taken home for later. In fact we went away with the food that we could not manage plus the meals that my daughter and partner had ordered.
The staff and owner were all very friendly and made us feel completely at home, they were not aware of our connections with the VegetarianDevon.com website. Would we go there again, yes definitely, but we still have ten more to visit on our list first.
