We randomly stopped here for lunch en route to Dartmouth and were pleasantly surprised. I chose Cheese on Toast with a cheese fondue dip and salad. It was delicious and reasonably priced. My partner enjoyed a Cheese and Ham Omlette which came with salad and chips. Service was friendly and efficient. We may well visit again on our way home.

We stayed a night while visiting family and were given a very warm welcome. Room was at back of motel so no problem with road noise. Bed comfy, everything clean, good shower. Breakfast was excellent and again, staff at breakfast went the extra mile to make us feel our custom was valued. Would recommend and would stay again.

Very glad to have found this place. Conveniently located for our weekend trip to Lyme Regis and other coastal hotspots - but more economical than the alternatives we looked at. It had all the facilities we needed. Everything was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. Didn't have time to try other meals, but it seems a popular cafe/restaurant. Will certainly go there again.

The worst and most shocking experience nobody minds a 20 minute wait on food , however not a single customer was advised not even for take away services. I felt the need to begin advising them myself. What I found really shocking aside the awful under cooked food was the staffs. Refusal to allow a 3 year old little girl to have sausage and chips when they sausage egg and beans as the meal followed by chicken nuggets and chips fish fingers and chips etc . This is not a place I will ever enter again unless it changes hands . This is our second visit the first was just as bad but we thought we would give it a second chance .

Arrived at 12:30 on the way back from holiday for a quick snack. Was advised by the lady behind the counter that they would not be serving food because they were short staffed and the staff who were there would need to take their break very soon as they hadn’t had one yet. Although being short staffed is obviously not desirable, one does wonder why all the staff within a cafe would insist on having a break at peak lunchtime. We still ordered four cappuccinos to go and were told to wait at a table. Once the cappuccinos arrived, I started putting the sugars in for our drinks and overheard the same lady asking her colleague “what those two were hanging around for”, referring to my partner and me. For what I’d hoped would be an enjoyable lunchtime experience, we were all left with a bitter taste in our mouths and I would recommend you give this one a miss.

We chose the Chilli con Carne and the Beef Curry, and after a wait of 20 minutes I went to the counter to ask about progress. The chef informed me that she was taking them out of their frozen containers to be defrosted so there would be a further wait. Eventually after another 15 minutes we received the food. It was difficult to understand that the server sat playing with her phone, another person maybe was in charge but didn’t seem to do very much and the chef could only handle I table at a time. There were 3 occupied tables with a maximum of 2 people on each. Never again. The food however was quite tasty and hot!

Used to love this place but boy are they expensive now. Everything I usually ordered has gone up in price by about £3. It was expensive to begin with but I don't want to pay £10 for a full English breakfast when the quality is literally greasy spoon. Big let down. I'll come back if prices become more reasonable.

Popped in for a quick break on our journey back from Devon . Very slow service . Handed dirty oily menu that showed sandwiches were £10 a pop , coffee just short of £3 . So we just stuck with a shared tea cake £3 and coffees ....Horrified to see the “ chef” without an apron/ whites , gloves etc and handling the chips from the server directly onto the plates , the same with the butter etc , cut slices placed in a pot with his fingers ...no tongs or similar used , no washing of hands in between , wiping his nose on the back of his hand was a nice addition ....but even worse was the unmasked guy clearing tables and wiping the cafe seats with the SAME CLOTH he then used to wipe the table ! ... , no sanitizer spray used either ...IN LIGHT OF COVID, LET ALONE BASIC HYGIENE, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ! I wouldn’t let my dog eat in there , totally gross transport style place . Eat there at your peril . Toilets minging too .

Have just stopped here. Followed the national guidelines masks on, NHS app, hand sanitizer, waited to be seated by staff and shown to a table. Staff all wearing masks and visors. Ordered our food with the very nice staff member. A few minutes later a man walked in without a mask and walked straight into the food prep area, into the kitchen and back out,then back in. Chatting inappropriately close to several staff members. Wandering all round. Masks protect other people from you, not the other way!I said to a staff member about this man in the food area with no mask on, she looked and said it was the owner. I said that I didn't care who he was he should be wearing a mask and abide by the rules the same as the rest of us. She said she would tell him. He shouldn't need telling, shame on you. Don't know why you think that you are different yo everyone else. You are putting everyone at risk, especially your staff. Maybe some hygiene guideline training is needed by you to protect us from you!

So I stopped here for breakfast and, it has to be said, my experience was OK at best. However, the poor family that came in after me were treated so badly, i feel compelled to review. A lady and her 2 children came in to the cage and were shown to a table in the other side of the cafe. Whilst waiting they felt it was too cold and moved to another table that looked free. The little lady with glasses that worked there went up to the family and said quite agressively "No, you cant do that". The lady apologised explaining very politely that she wasnt aware. The server continued to express her annoyance by saying "I've got to go clean that other table now and I'm too busy". The lady repeated that she was sorry and offered to clean the table for her. The lady was clearly shocked at the approach the server was taking. They server said to the lady i dont like your attitude (which is hilarious because she was being relatively calm in comparison to the server). When the lady pointed out at the server needs to check her own way of talking to people the server said I'm too busy and the family had to leave. I looked around and there are no obvious signs explaining how this cafe runs. I would also like to point out that, despite the cafe having half of its tables full, the server had PLENTY if time to fuss over a customers baby everytime she went past, and never got round to cleaning either of the 2 tables the lady sat at forbthat reason. So rude.

We didn’t know what we had to do but a lovely lady explained everything and made it very easy for us to understand, we went and sat down at our table. Food came out fast even with it being busy, the food was absolutely lovely, I thanked the chef after 2 empty plates of food, he was also very polite and friendly. It was such a lovely visit and i will definitely being going back again! The one thing I won’t forget and every place needs is friendly polite staff and good food we had both of them.

On our way to Brixham we stopped off here for a bite to eat mid way. We signed in as requested and found a table and ordered food etc. We required some condiments so got up to get them only to be shouted at by a very miserable lady behind the counter. We apologised and explained we didn’t know the rules. Food was very average for the money spent. On our way home we again stopped off for a bite to eat. I used the facilities and went in to meet up with family members who were already seated. The same lady behind the counter shouted at me about not signing in. I tried to explain I was putting belongings down with family to be met with rolling eyes and shrugging shoulders. Also it was far to cold in there as they insist on having the doors all wide open. Picked up belongings and left immediately. If you don’t want people in don’t open or at least talk to customers with a little respect. Manners cost nothing. One family custom lost.

Feeling in need of a cooked breakfast we stopped here for one and a coffee. We had a regular breakfast each and our son had a kids breakfast. The regular breakfast is egg, bacon, sausages, beans, hash brown and toast. We both ordered mushrooms and hubby had black pudding as extra! Black pudding comes as 2 slices! It was all delicious and plates went back empty! Not sure what a previous reviewer meant by fairground ketchup as it was Heinz and the brown sauce (which is always my choice with a fry up) was HP. The coffee was good and you get proper butter with your toast. A very extensive and not expensive menu, whatever you fancy they're bound to cater for your needs. Staff were efficient and friendly. Place was nice and clean and American diner style tables and chairs. As Arnie said 'I'll be back'!!!

I found the A35 Pit Stop purely by chance. From the outside it looks like a regular “truck stop” but the inside is airy and clean offering at table service which, in this day and age, is something of a rarity. When I arrived there, around late morning the place was quite full, so I was expecting something of a wait to be served. A few moments later my order was taken, just a toasted sandwich served with crisps & salad, and a mug of tea, and about 10 minutes later the food was served, along with a sincere apology for the wait, which wasn’t excessive in my book! Price wise, it was very reasonable.I must also comment that the toilets put some of the motorway service station facilities I’ve used to shame!The only downside is that I will probably not pass this way again, but if I do and I need a comfort break, then this will definitely be the Pit Stop of choice.

Visited as a result of the reviews, they don’t lie!! We had the English breakfast which was cooked to perfection and outstanding value for money. I had the children’s breakfast which was one egg, one piece of bacon, beans, toast and 2 sausage, plenty for an adult, but there are bigger versions for a bigger appetite. Lots of parking with 2 disabled bays right by the door, very clean toilets. The menu choice was exceptional and we sneaked a look at the lunch menu too, we will be returning many times over this holiday. Very friendly staff too, a real pleasure to visit.

We stopped here while travelling through and decided to get something to eat. The place was busy but not rammed but they appeared to be struggling with it. It is a very small cafe but they appear to attempt to offer too much choice making it difficult for them to keep up with it. There was a carvery which we were told was shut, even though people were helping themselves to it, then an extensive menu of breakfasts and such. We ordered 3 breakfasts and some eggy bread with bacon. We waited for almost an hour before the food arrived but all the meals were stone cold. After being sent back they came back a second time even colder! Including a hash brown that was actually frozen. We decided against actually eating the food and left. The manager was very apologetic and amiable but the food was awful.

We stopped here for a drink and a snack on our journey. As I walked in all the first thing i saw was the floor under the tables absolutely covered in food. My family and I then sat down and ordered two coffees, two milkshakes and chips. The drinks came but as the waitress put them down her finger was in one of the coffees! However we drank our drinks but after 10 minutes the chips still hadn’t come. We went up to the front to ask to cancel them as we needed to get back on the road but they said it was too late and gave them to us in a takeaway box rather forcefully. We immediately left after paying. Will not be stopping there again, hygiene is terrible as is the staffs attitude.

Four of us stopped here on 6th June while travelling from Cornwall back to Hampshire. The staff were welcoming, the menus were spotless, and the tables and chairs were very clean. We all had the toasted sandwiches, which each came with a small but adequate bowl of potato crisps and a lightly dressed salad garnish. The lavatories were immaculate, with hand driers which actually work. The service was perfect, the food was obviously freshly made to order, and I for one am gutted that this cafe/B&B; is not closer to my home.

I have never before written a review in Trip Advisor. I don't like to do people down, and I accept that anyone can have a bad day. However, the Pit Stop cafe near Kilmington on the A35 takes the biscuit in truly awful eating experiences. I was driving from Portsmouth to Cornwall with my elderly mother for Christmas. We'd been driving for over two hours and were seeking a stop for lunch. The Pit Stop looked to be just the ticket - not one of the massive chains, and with an appealing menu. 'What a find,' I said.

We booked this through an online booking site, cost for an family room with breakfast was good. Little bit concerned due to some reviews but overall pictures on web looked good. Glad we gave this place a chance. A real gem in the heart of Devon. Our family room was like a small flat minus the kitchen. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Twin beds had separate room and generous size double room. They had even gone to the effort of placing some small toys in the twin room. Bathroom generous size. Very clean, only downside is small flat screen TV, though to be honest it didn't bother us. Breakfast very good, freshly cooked and staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning and will contact direct. Another bonus is the parking. For us the location on A35 didn't interrupt our sleep or our child's sleep. A lovely "pitstop" and can't believe the times that we have passed this by, but not anymore.

We both went for cooked breakfasts, the normal sized one was quite adequate although they do cater for the larger appetite.

stopped off for a cooked breakfast on the 02/09/2018 around 10.30 am and sat at table 3. the table was clean and the floor was clean and the toilets were clean. The order was taken and the tea took about 5 mins to come to the table the breakfast was a mega breakfast and was stunning hot and lots of it. I would recommend and the will be back with the family as we are always along the A35. the only thing i would say is a bit expensive for the breakfast, I would price it around the 8-9 pound mark but I will be back for sure. keep up the good work

We stopped here on the way back from holiday for tea. The food was disgusting. The place was filthy dirty and the staff were lazy & disorganised.

Regular stop for trips to the South West. Offers range of fried breakfasts and cooked meals, cakes & ice cream. Toilets have been redone so much better & has separate baby change facilities. Plenty of parking, Petrol station with shop next door as well.

Nice place with plenty of seating. The menu has very good choices which includes all day breakfasts, light meals, mains and desserts. The large breakfast I had was large but well cooked and hot. The staff were prompt and pleasant. The place was clean as were the facilities.

Had the small breakfast for around £5 and the food was good. They swapped the bacon and beans out for an extra sausage.

We choose this for a night as needed to get the train home the following day from Axminster which was walkable but 1.5 miles away. The room was clean but very basic - bed very uncomfortable (no hair dryer). The room was noisy because it’s right on top of the A35. It was extremely expensive did not bother with breakfast as I would prepare a healthy breakfast not deep fried!!

Stopped here for a break and something to eat. Husband had large all day breakfast and they even swopped the hash browns for chips for him. I had a baguette toasted but Ali g with the baguette you also get a generous salad and crisps. All in all well worth the money and would we go lately stop here again if passing.

Two of us shared a large chicken club sandwich. That and a portion of chips set us up for the test of our journey. Very reasonably priced and cheerful staff. Nice coffee too. Recommended.

This place is just awful. We should have known better when on arrival the toilets were out of action and you had to use the terrible ones in the jointly owned garage. We ordered what should have been a simple bacon sandwich. This came on two slices of the cheapest white bread you can imagine and absolutely greased soaked and dripping. The bacon wasn’t proper bacon it was just cooked ham or gammon and bizarrely it was served with some odd salad and some crisps on the plate. Just disgusting. The coffee was equally as bad with odd greasy floaters in it. Never again!!

Small breakfast was the perfect size and the kids had some crayons and a little activity sheet to keep them entertained. Would recommend.

Just finished a most wonderful carvery at the A35 Pit Stop. Choice of succulent roast beef, pork and/or gammon with loads of crispy cracklings, roast potatoes, carrots, red cabbage, really cheesy cauliflower cheese, pork balls, broccoli, sage and onion stuffing and sky high Yorkshire pudding with lashings of hot gravy! Fantastic value only £9.95 for adult size or £6.95 for child's size. Highly recommended - this is our third trip. Now a regular!

Upon arrival we were told 20 minute wait for food, over an hour and a half we waited for 2 measly burgers, when you have a screaming hungry toddler it’s not ideal because we would’ve stopped at the shop opposite!

Stopped in for a quick bit of lunch and what a pleasant surprise. As me and my friends were vegetarian we asked the chef (amy) what she recommended. She suggested we try out her new vegie burger that she was trialing which wasn't on the menu yet. Well let me tell you.... YUM! I've tried a LOT of vegie burgers and this was one of the best! If you visit make sure you ask for "amy's vegie burgers". Their strawberry milkshake was lush and their customer service spot on. I will definately go back!

Really enjoyed the carvery, homecooked food at its best! The sort of place you're looking for to get some grub on a long drive. Can't wait to come back on our next trip. Don't judge a book by its cover!

Having started work in the area I decided to stop and have a quick bite to eat. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but don't be put off! The inside is spotless clean and there are clearly improvements being made. I ordered a mixed grill, which looked great on the plate. Service was friendly. Will be returning.

Having never stopped here before I thought I'd give it a try. It was very busy however the staff were friendly and went out of their way to give great service! The food was freshly prepared and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The kitchen is open and you can see how clean it is. All the staff work very hard and it was enjoyable to sit in such a nice atmosphere.
