Black Dog in East Devon

It was our first visit to this tea room. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had a piece of (vegan) black current tart and it was delicious. We sat outside in the sun and I could of sat there all day. The tea room is not a vegan or vegetarian one but does provide plenty of options for a vegan, vegetarian or someone who is gluten free. Will be definitely returning and hopefully having lunch.

Last year I visited 65 different cafes. So far I have managed 48 this year. This one is the BEST. It was so well presented that I assumed that it was newly opened but learnt they had made use of Lockdown time. I got a fabulous bacon and egg sandwich with home made bread and chilli jam. They clearly know their local customers. I called in as I travelled from Cornwall to Hampshire. I would love this to be my local but I live in Newcastle but I will be back if I pass near by in the future. Thank you !

Lovely cream tea with good quantities of jam and cream , friendly people would highly recommend if in Lyme Regis .

I am gluten free and the cake I had was light as a feather and extremely tasty, a raspberry and cream Victoria sponge.Coffee also exceptionally niceMy friend had a good size pot of teal and said the cake was also excellent.The owner was friendly and very chatty, and told us her husband had baked them. I think he deserves a Hollywood handshake.We will be back for more

First time eating inside since Covid started,Tables spaced out well and airflow from open door and window, also very clean.Food was excellent as always, had the scrambled egg on toast, with mushrooms and tomatoes.My wife had the same but with poached eggs,My son had the Brie and bacon roll,My other son had bacon and scrambled egg on toast.All the food is excellent and very reasonably priced,Especially when you consider so much is home made.The owners are very accommodating and friendly,Dogs also very welcome.Will be back soon as they also do some very good cake!

Very friendly tea room just outside Lyme Regis (a nice walk from Lyme Regis to Uplyme). Fresh home cooked food, very tasty and more than ample portions.

Brilliant sevice, friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious .definitely worth a visit. The brie and bacon roll was incredible

Friendly service, lovely food, very clean. Had a lovely morning tea with family. My family could even buy the tea served, to take back home to Australia

Called in here for a much needed late lunch after a longer and more tricky walk than we planned for. It didn't matter that we were a bit muddy and we had some fantastic Leek and Potato soup and a scone which erked us up no end. Thanks

You know when you're having a bad week and you visit a dear friend? You chat, and eat a meal cooked with love, and leave feeling a hundred times better? That's just what a trip to this teahouse feels like. There are two cheerful rooms and a garden full of birds (we were visited by a robin), friendly people and delicious, simple homemade food. It's a very special place.

Visited with my husband and three boys, such a warm welcome and lovely chat. Warm home baked scones and great cakes and drinks. Would definitely return and recommend!

We wished we could have visited more often during our stay as the cakes on offer were to die for. We sat in a very pretty established garden to enjoy our cuppa & cake. Thoroughly recommend

We bookended our trip to Lyme with a visit to the tearooms; sitting in the lovely garden chatting to the friendly owners and eating a cream tea seemed the perfect start, and end, to our week. Our regret is that we don't live in Lyme in order to visit here more often and to try more food; along with Lilac, this was really a highlight of our week.

Just delightful garden and a menu made up from local ingredients. Very hard to find anything of this quality in the area.

We took a walk from Lyme along the river and decided to drop in here for lunch. Unfortunately we hadn’t booked a table but was not a problem and were fortunate to get a table in the garden. Lovely spot with butterflies etc. Lunch was great. Rarebit was superb as was the grilled Halloumi and crumble cake. They are very dog friendly and each dog is given a bowl of water. Loose leaf tea so nicer than the bag variety.Will definitely pop in again if in the area.

The best rarebit I've ever had, tasty is not the word and a huge portion. Dorset apple cake, and nectarine crumble with clotted cream were bloody delicious.

We went for brunch and the food and service were simply amazing! The chef tailored all our food to our taste and even brought water for the dog. I only wish it was closer to home!

We first came to black dog tea room in June and couldn’t wait to return. Such friendly staff and amazing food. Yesterday we had the most amazing bacon and Brie sandwich and the rarebit. The garden is relaxing and lovely in the sun. We will be back to sample some more of the food the next time we are in Lyme. Be patient the food being fresh and home cooked takes time but is worth waiting for

We hadn't booked and were lucky to get a table, so do try to book in advance!We ordered a bacon sandwich on sourdough and halloumi on sourdough toast. There was a slight delay as the bread was still in the oven, but we were warned. It was 100% worth the wait. We're only sorry we waited until our last day as the little savoury scone we had was deliciously light and left us wishing we could try their scones.All the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful, despite being very busy.

Outside seating great service and food. We had afternoon tea all made with locally sourced produce but also made in house so very fresh. I would recommend booking before you travel here as very popular

Beautiful. Not over crowded, good 5* Good service. Fresh quality ingredients very fairly priced. Gardens pretty and well-tended. Will be back.

Really cute tea room with a pretty garden at the back. Really helpful and friendly staff, also dog friendly with dog bowls and everything. Scones were so good would definitely recommend ! :)

A lovely welcoming place. We sat outside in glorious weather. The food is fresh, generous portions and so, so, tasty. The salad ingredients seem to be sourced from their own kitchen garden. Everyone enjoyed their menu choices all of which came with a small cheese scone. Service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

Down to earth and non pretentious . Lovely people and tasty food. As for Gorgeous George, the Black Dog himself, my little pup is in love

Had lunch today and it was so tasty. The guys were so nice and friendly. Sat in the garden house which was lovely, overlooking the garden and hills beyond. Going back tomorrow. Highly recommend.

I never ever write reviews, but I just had to on this occasion , if you visit Lyme Regis and don’t visit the black dog then you’re quite simply missing out on THE BEST cream tea I've ever had and I’ve had a few in my time , service was very friendly and very human and the home made food to die for. We will definitely be making another visit before returning home this Friday

We are a family of four staying in Lyme Regis. Been out for the day and decided to stop here as it looked so nice. We were approached by a very stressed out lady who said if you have not booked there will be a problem !!!!!!!! we said ok and went to leave - she then said i will see if i can squeeze you in. She came back and said in a loud voice its a one off but will get you in. Made to feel like we were a real nuisance. We sat down and she barked the menus are out there so make your minds up. We all looked at each other and laughed out loud we left via a side entrance never to return.

We did a round trip walk from Lyme along the stunning river and stopped off at the Black Dog for a cream tea. The couple running the cafe could not have been more welcoming. We sat in their beautiful garden with our dogs and the cream tea is exactly what might hope for. Despite their popularity, the owners went out of their way to make us and our dogs feel welcome and as if they had been waiting all day just for us! Could not recommend this cafe highly enough. Authentic, personal food and service to match. Worth the walk from Lyme.

We hadn’t reserved; were just passing and fancied a cream tea but despite being busy and close to closing this lovely, very accommodating place were so helpful and able to squish us in for the most delicious cream tea! Delicious scones, ample real cream and fabulous jam and the tea was wonderful. I expected to pay a premium being so close to a tourist hotspot but was very pleasantly surprised with an extremely good value, reasonable Bill too! We will definitely be back and many thanks again ;)

Super place, just outside Lyme Regis, very organised and covid safe. Excellent fare, very well served and reasonably priced. 3 dog biscuits for the woof too.

Best Cream Teas around hands down. They were that good we went back 3 times and have taken more home with us. Very friendly and accommodating especially as we were a party of 11. Thank you again

Great tea rooms with a lovely garden a short walk out of Lyme Regis along the river Lim trail at Uplyme. although we only had a drink and a piece of cake the lunch menu looked amazing. Service was first class

Enjoy the best scones in a relaxing corner with a beautiful terrace and very good service. This is a must!

Went here for a Cream Tea. Well what a gorgeous location. The quality of the food was excellent and the prices reasonable. The owner is also very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

This place is not to be missed if you're visiting Lyme. ( booking is a must) )We had 2 fabulous meals here, afternoon tea & a lunch. The extensive menu covers all tastes & nothing is too much trouble. The food is to die for, freshly prepared & good size portions. Beautifully prepared salads, cakes, bread, scones & all made here by a very talented chef. The staff are in a class of their own & made us all feel very welcome with their own touch of good old fashioned humour. Covid restrictions were in place & we shall return. You can even stay in the B & B.

Wow! Great experience!The scone and cake we had was outstanding and the lady waitress was so kind and welcoming!Would highly recommend booking in advance as we seen a few guests turned away due to being fully booked. Best booking at least a couple of hours in advance.I had lost a set of keys in my car in the morning and couldn't get them out. I told the owner/waitress about this as needed their advise to find a local car garage to pull my car apart as we were not local. Her partner came out and plucked my keys out! Could not be more thankfull and happy with the customer service. We had purchased one of his homemade Christmas Jam too! Will definitely be returning if we come back to Lyme Regis!

Lovely garden to sit in with plenty of space between tables. The salads were really nice and plenty to eat. Service very good but we were there at a quiet time

A great find, would strongly recommend, a hidden gem! Had a great afternoon tea with lovely service. Dogs allowed too!

Food fantastic and very healthy. Cooked fresh on the day - all locally sourced. I would highly recommend .

I would recommend this place for the extraordinary waitress. She told us to ‘oh god hurry up’ as we tried to pick some drinks. Maybe she thought we couldn’t hear her under her mask.The drinks weren’t the best and she explained she ‘would try’ to make them.I can recommend the scone though and I’d visit again as it was extremely odd.

Delicious loose leaf tea with warm cheese scones, divine coconut & lime cake and lovely Victoria sponge. A cut above other establishments visited so far this week.

We were looking forward to a really relaxing tea, sandwich and delicious piece of cake, however, the clear lack of staff and stress shown by the owners, somewhat spoilt the experience. The attitude towards “The Public” (as described by the owner)was appalling . Maybe, they need to look at the signage to help “The Public”follow the process they have put in place. I actually felt genuinely sorry for an elderly couple who turned up in the garden, whilst we were drinking our tea, to be greeted by sarcastic remarks about there being a booking system, of which they knew nothing, as they had entered by the side gate, next to the car park, which appears to be the logical point of entry (and the gate was wide open). The owners need to make it clearer at this point or ensure that the gate is locked so that potential customers make there way to the front door. An A sign visible from the road stating that booking is required and a telephone number would also help. It is clear that two people running the cafe during good weather, where at present people prefer to be outside in a beautiful garden, does not work. Tables were full of dirty plates and it took an incredibly long time for both food and drinks to arrive. It is such a shame, the food is amazing, fresh well presented, extensive menu, excellent quality and an incredible setting. Their attitude to the public leaves a lot to be desired!

A warm welcome with good Covid-19 social distancing in place. We hadn't booked but were lucky that there was space in the garden outside. A nice tea with great homemade scones with lots of jam and cream.

We found this cafe by chance when passing and were so pleasantly surprised. There is a beautiful English county garden at the back of the cafe. The menu offers both traditional tea room options as well as some different home made creations, amazing home made bread and some delicious kale pesto, the food was really exceptional. You have to book during the current COVID situation but they were kind enough to accommodate us when we turned up. Great customer service and we will definitely be returning if we’re passing again!

We had morning coffee in the beautiful garden, then tempted we stayed for lunch. Oh my...the best bacon sandwich in homemade sourdough and gammon and melted cheese tasted exquisite in same lovely roll. Pickle was delicious. All homemade and fresh. After more coffee, we made it home with take-away lime and coconut cake. Cannot rate it high enough.

The food was delicious but was it worth waiting 50 minutes for some sandwiches and cheese on toast? We planned to make a quick pit stop at the black dog tea rooms enroute to our hotel in Lyme Regis and was shown to an alfresco seating area in a beautiful country garden. The lady serving us did her best but seemed a bit overwhelmed and stressed with people walking in and out her way to use the toilets or read the menu. We understand that with Covid restrictions there are going to be some teething issues however our tray of teas were quite literally slammed on the table without asking if we wanted any sugar or extra milk, and our sandwiches arrived to the table one by one. We were hoping to try some of the cake however as we sat for a further 20 minutes without having our plates cleared we decided to up and go. An extra pair of hands would have helped perhaps?

Such a lovely tea room with excellent GF options. All food delicious and home cooked. The garden is absolutely lovely too! Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely return on my next trip here! They also make their own tea which was great, we bought some to take home.

Lovely tea room, we had a cream tea which was superb. We turned up on the spur of the moment, as we were driving past on a wet day, the welcome was delightful and they were able to fit us in.

The views are pleasant from the gardens and the tea was enjoyable. It was relatively quiet when we went but it was nice all the same. The tea was a large cup and we enjoyed a big slice of cake too.

This is a lovely place. The scones were perfection, the cheese on sourdough toast delicious, plus there was proper leaf tea. The garden is very pretty and you can also sit inside. The staff were very friendly even though we phoned up to book only 10 minutes before we turned up. It isn’t very convenient to walk to from anywhere, but there is enough parking. I totally recommend it.

Found this little gem while going back to our campsite. Dogs are welcome , inside and outside seating available with a private room to use. We had scones , Dorset apple pie and chocolate brownies. No crumbs where left as it was yummy. Staff so helpful and really kind. Will return to try more of the menu.

We were driving past and decided to stop for tea here in the garden. Lovely surroundings (slightly marred by the washing in the garden) and very friendly service. Scones delicious as was all the various cakes we had. Would definitely recommend.

This place is a real gem, serving beautiful homemade food, cooked to perfection.In fact it was so good we had to go back the next day!I really recommend the homemade scones (we even had a lovely savoury one with our sandwiches).What made the experience even more brilliant, was the beautiful garden you are surrounded by. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the yummy food and peaceful garden!

We came across this lovely tea room by accident on the way to Lyme Regis. We were the first customers in after lockdown and we were so impressed. Beautifully clean and the food I just fantastic. It justly deserves all the excellent reviews.

Excellent all round. Beautiful building, superb home made scones, choice of other food, great service and dog friendly. Also very nice garden - highly recommended

Food is very nice, everything is home made or comes from local producers. Prices are a little haphazard for example the massive bacon sandwich my son had was very good value, whereas my chorizo salad was probably priced at upper end of reasonable. That's not to say the food is expensive, it represents good value for the quality you get. Service is very friendly and atmosphere relaxed. It's not the place to go for a quick bite, service is not fast, more aimed at making it an occasion. Overall worth seeking out if your in the area.

Incredibly friendly and welcoming, and in a delightful garden setting. First-rate cream teas as well, at a very reasonable price. I was glad to give this place my custom after the lockdown malarkey. Highly recommended

What a lovely find just dropped whilst passing on a walk & enjoyed the most wonderful tea, scone, jam & clotted cream. Almost everything on the menu is home made. Do stop here if you're passing. Terry

We did the inevitable River Walk on a wet February morning and plodded up the main road in Uplyme to find The Black Dog Tearoom. It was about the only place open on a Monday: Lyme really shuts down in the off season. So we approached the building on the roadside with a mixture of gratitude and concern that the only place open would not necessarily be the best.But we were delighted to walk into an elegant, warm, bright and clean cafe. And we agree that the scones were the best ever - especially my cinnamon and cranberry one.Friendly owners, who gave us tips to find a more scenic route back to the river.A very happy experience. And the rain had stopped by the time we left. All good.

What a find - excellent dog friendly cafe! Could come back daily and not tire of the fab menu. We had the smoked cheese & bacon roll, cheese scone and grilled cherry tomatoes, local Earl grey tea & a latte. All delish.

Whilst we were in West Bay for a week we popped along to Lyme Regis for Lunch. Having read some favourable reviews we decided to try the Black Dog tea rooms just out of town. It is definitely worth a visit as the food was excellent and the service incredibly friendly. You can see from the picture that the cheese ploughman’s was a full plate and very tasty.If you are in the area make the effort to head out of town as it is well worth it!

We were passing on our way into Lyme Regis and spotted the tea rooms so decided to pull over. I have to say it was a very fortunate impulse. I'm gluten intolerant and a veggie so find I'm quite hard to cater for. Not at the Black Dog! I had a bean burger in a gluten free bun and my companion had a regular bun. We were both extremely impressed. The bread was delicious and the bean burger was a perfect blend aromatic spices and herbs but without being hot on the tongue. It did not suffer from the dryness or mush of some bean burgers. The presentation was extremely attractive with a side salad I would have been happy to eat on it's own. Having enjoyed these with a pot of Assam tea, chosen from the many on offer, we decided to finish our meal with something sweet. I was offered a choice of 4 different GF cakes. Quite a luxury! We chose to share a slice of coffee and walnut which was so light I could barely believe It was GF. Service was great and we had a lovely chat too. We will definitely return.

We were looking for a light bite, and knowing that Lyme would be bursting with visitors, wandered inland.Came across this tearoom and thought it would be ideal for us.The place was busy, and we were shown out into the summerhouse and told there would be a wait. Whilst waiting we were given a small scone and butter as an appetiser.We ordered the squash, coconut and ginger soup with a roll and butter.I also ordered a bacon and Brie roll to follow. Fortunately the waitress suggested that I should forgo the roll that should accompany the soup.Everything was steaming, and the soup very tasty. All the rolls were homemade and mine with bacon,and Brie, large and a meal in itself.A very impressive visit, with great quality and service.

Dog friendly & delightful. Excellent for cakes, light lunches and snacks with home made bread. Scones are lovely & the bacon sandwich with tomato chutney is special. .

Very friendly people and excellent food. Would recommend the ploughmans lunch and delicious hot fruit scones. Kids really enjoyed the pizza.

We had. Super walk along the river from Lyme to Uplyme and popped in here for a treat. The lovely lady said we might have a bit of a wait as they had a largish group in and we said we didn’t mind. We were served our drinks after about five mdrinks notes, and our food very soon after. The tea was the best pot of tea I’ve ever had in a tea room and my scone was FANTASTIC. Crisp outside and light inside, my husband’s sandwich was lovely and came with a cheese scone. Beautiful. The garden is lovely, service pleasant and efficient, very reasonably priced. (I’m comparing this with an expensive place we visited the day before, no contest) Lovely place.

What a great find. We called in here with our dog on a wet day and had soup each. Leek and potato for my husband and sweet potato, ginger and coconut for me, served with home made rolls. Absolutely delicious home made soup, the best we have ever had. The cakes looked really scrummy but had no room that day so had to call in on our walk the next day to sample them - apple cake and cloted cream, really tasty. So nice to find a place that was so dog friendly and everything home made. Chruncy got offered water and given a treat so she was happy!

We stopped for tea and cake. Plenty of delicious home made cakes to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff

Visited this tea room with my daughters and families, 7 of us. My husband telephoned to book a table and they asked what we wanted. My husband confirmed it was cream teas.

We dropped in for lunch on our last day in Lyme Regis and should have visited sooner! We had a delicious lunch; I had the pizza, my wife had an enormous ploughman’s (with amazing cheeses) and my daughter had the bacon and Brie roll. We also had scones and pots of tea and everything, I mean EVERYTHING, was so delicious. We will certainly be calling in again when we’re in this neck of the woods.

Visited for tea and cake after a lovely walk to and from Lyme Regis. Beautifully decorated, exceptional homemade cakes, vegan and gluten free options (advised to phone ahead for a wider selection next time, which I thought was really accommodating), superb teas, and a really lovely couple to wait on us. We sat in the garden and enjoyed some visiting pooches. Highly recommended.

Came here to escape the rain with our puppy and it was wonderful - the food was fresh, plentiful and very reasonably priced.

I have been to the Black Dog many times and never been dissapointed. Always a friendly warm welcome from Sonia and Roddie. Food great and you must try their sandwiches (made with homemade bread) with salad and homemade cakes. The garden is lovely and a relaxing place to enjoy your meal. Dogs are made very welcome too.

Have drivennpast many, many times but never stopped. Finally went for lunch with the family and we all lived it. Excellent quality food, and lots of it.

Halfway through a lovely river walk from Lyme Regis we stopped here for lunch. My husband is a tea afficianado so was pleased with the number of different loose leaf teas on offer. A big plateful of tomato and pepper quiche with such a colourful and tasty salad and a mini cheese scone on the side - wonderful. I would have liked cake, but no room.

After walking along the River Lim to Uplyme we headed back down the hill toward Lyme Regis. Stopped at this cafe and had a lovely lunch, homemade tomato soup and bread roll. Plus a mini cheese scone sample very good.

what a beautiful little place to find. the proprietors are extremely friendly and welcoming. the food is exceptional and all home cooked. locally sourced ingrediants dogs are more than welcome and offered treats and water. beautifully clean and fresh inside with an outdoor eating area also. plenty of parking space available.

Lovely scones for the family and dairy/gluten free cake for me! Well worth the detour! Will come again! It was very pleasant and as homey as a little cottage. It is right next to a lovely wildlife river walk with a small hill included. You can see a dazzling view and it even sales products!

I loved it here. My g'friend and I visited specifically based upon all the reviews and we have to say; they were accurate! Sandwiches, mine was Brie and Bacon, was presented excellently, and tasted lovely. All the way from the location to the seating area and the garden were perfect. A great little tea room and just the ticket if you want attentive, warm, friendly staff and environment and tasty food. A must!!!!

Popped in on our way past and was very pleased with friendly service, great home made food and nice view (from summer house). Kids very happy with home made pizza and beans on toast, my wife and I both had the Welsh rarebit and it was fantastic. Followed up by some smashing sponge. Will likely stop in here again.

Take the River Lim Path from Lyme Regis and half way along a diversion is suggested that takes you to the Black Dog Tea Room. Take It! We did on the way back. The food is all prepared by themselves and as one of us is Coeliac finding the Gluten Free coffee cake was a joy. It was just the best GF coffee cake. Had a good chat with the owner re cooking gluten free as well. The normal Victoria Sponge was also awesome so a gluten free version next time please. As you approach from the walk there is a final gate and then it is not obvious whether to walk up the lane or the footpath opposite; the best route is to use the footpath.

Lovely home cooked food at very reasonable prices. The owners were very helpful and made our children and dog feel very welcome. We will be back.

My first visit to this little gem was a little over a month ago with my elderly mother and little dog Ronnie the mini schnauzer.

Big bowls of soups with homemade rolls - often flavours that you won’t find elsewhere.

This place is lovely. Light and airy and the most delicious home cooked food, including all the bakery products! Clearly a labour of love. The coffee was amazing, despite being a tea room and our dogs were made very welcome.

My husband and I popped in with our dog on a mid Monday morning having stayed in the area over the weekend. We received a lovely warm welcome from Sonia who fussed our dog Bones the whole time we were there (we actually got to eat our lovely breakfast in peace!).

This is my second review and the place is heart warming to say the least. Extremely clean and the food and coffee is second to none. Roddy and Sonia relentlessly provide warm, welcoming and efficient service. Coffee excellent and the best scone I've ever tasted. Lovely returning locals. Great selection of teas and accessories to buy. Also prices are excellent for area. I have recommended here to people I see on rambles in the area...also it is open all week apart from Wednesday. Very, very feel good place and perfectly run. Beautiful...

We stayed at the Black Dog and had read of the wonders of the tea room - and were not disappointed! Wonderful cheese scones, plain scones and fruit scones baked by Rod, wonderful relaxed and professional service from Rod and Sonia, and brilliant insight on range of teas! all superb and thoroughly recommended.

Have eaten here twice while on holiday, had egg on toast , scrambled with mushrooms and tomatoes, bread is home made, my wife had poached, very good value, very relaxing atmosphere.

Visited while in holiday. Very dog friendly, offering water and treats and understanding of our mad Collie! The home made rolls and scones were really tasty too. Thank you. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful home made bread and locally sourced ingredients made this a really superb lunch. Hosts were charming, decor very relaxing and parking plentiful. Home blend tea reminded me what real tea tastes like so bought some for home

This is a hidden gem in Lyme Regis.

Popped in late in the day, really lovely scones (warmed) and really enjoyed. I can understand some of the comments made about the welcome, as we experienced this a little with lady saying she still hadn’t had her lunch and she’d had a rush on, but brushed it off, I think it’s her way of speaking. Also, no sugar delivered with tea and coffee. Friendly place overall and dog friendly.

I have been here a few times now and the scones are extremely nice. The establishment is very dog friendly and staff are very helpful.

Super find, food and drinks just lovely the guys that own it are super would stop here again. Nice cup of tea and they live dogs

Popped in on our way back from Cornwall took a little drive into Lyme Regis and stoped for some lunch.

If you're looking for somewhere to have a cream tea in Lyme then this is the one. Lucious scones, jam and clotted cream. Friendly service. Light and airy tea room with a summer house for much needed shade overlooking a pretty garden and rambling hills in the distance. A fantastic find and well recommended.

Pre-booked as there were 10 of us. Rod was very helpful when booking, describing what he could prepare for us. Nearly everything is sourced locally and Rod does all the baking fresh each day. Not being great fans of fancy cakes I chose cheese, ham, rolls and "higgidy"? pie - a type of cheese and leak quiche, followed by scones with jam and cream. Good choice of loose leaf tea which they also sell under their own name. We sat in the garden and had a most enjoyable and relaxing time.

What a fabulous place, tucked away on the corner in Uplyme. Seeing the sign made us stop as we have a black dog! So glad we did the reception was gentle and welcoming.

Have been a couple of times for lunch. Both times warm enough to sit outside in the garden. Lovely salad with homemade quiche and a lovely homemade scone.... Service is very pleasant and all the food I have seen looks lovely. Will be returning soon.
