Brookside Café & Restaurant in Teignbridge

Excellent service and really delicious meals, we will be back.

Excellent service and good quality food. Very clean restaurant area and spotless toilets

Had a lovely meal for Sunday dinner. Plenty served even I couldn't eat it all

Delicious lamb roast, served on hot plates, abliging staff.

Everything took an age to come to the table, when it did eventually come there was hair in the salad! I bought it up to the waitress who said "oh that shouldn't be there" then charged us the full £32 (two sandwhiches, a coffee and a milkshake) and walked off without even offering to remake the salad at the very least, so say it is disappointing is a let down

The food and sevice was very good. Food was well delivered. Bonus they also serve local beers and ciders

Had a lovely lunch with family, friendly service. We sat outside and admired the flowers and plants that adorn the building.

We are stopping on a near by campsite. The Brookside is a lovely calm place to stop in for a snack or a full meal. It is also nice that they do an all day English breakfast. The staff are so polite and accommodating. The lattes are huge and in my opinion how they should be. Everything was served hot on hot plates and was delicious.

Stopped for lunch, very friendly staff. Had the pie of the day. Will go back and have another pie of the day another day. It will be a different pie.

There was 8 of us and the food arrived piping hot and at the same time, the desserts were very good also arrived at the same time, the food was first quality and the waitress were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, would happily recommend them and we'll be back again soon 😁

Fantastic cafe. Lovely food. Would visit again.

Really good food. My friends and I met up on Wednesday long over due. We always go here as the place is welcoming and the food is wonderful

Waited 20 minutes to be served after being told. Thay will be with us once they had court up

Back again on our way home after our holiday in Dartmoor. Waitresses are so friendly & the garden is so pretty. Would definitely recommend. My husband had full English & my scrambled egg on toast was cooked just as I'd asked. Thank you for great service!

Wonderful staff excellent service and yummy food 😋 had corned beef hash which I think I don't remember coming up for air when I was eating it 😆, even had room for a melt in the mouth meringue with berries and cream 😀

Lovely breakfast. Recommend a visit 👌

Lovely restaurant very clean, super service and amazing food.

Lovely place to have breakfast on a sunny day in the garden. Staff Lovely, food is what it says is on the menus.

Loved this place ! Staff = 10/10 Ambience = 10/10 Cleanliness = 10/10 Food = 1000/10 ✨ Definitely a MUST visit ❤️

a bit disappointed the salmon fishcake, not really taste salmon inside.

I tried to get served but the staff were too busy chatting.

Nice place ,Nice food staff a bit miserable

Delicious meal, generous portions, local ingredients, plenty of green veg (not just the overused chips), not overpriced, very attentive waiting staff. All that in a lovely garden, on a warm sunny day, under a decent-sized parasol. What more could one ask for?

First visit to brookside restaurant, we were very impressed with the surroundings and it has its own carpark. The staff are very friendly and made us feel welcomed. As I'm a ceolac, they gave me a choice of white or brown bread as not many establishments offer that. The gluten-free breakfast was very good. There is a good atmosphere to the place. Will be going back very soon. There are outside eating areas to the front and side.

Took visiting family recently. It was great! Beautifully cooked: quality ingredients, & well presented. Very friendly and efficient service. Good choice of tea - not just your regular fruit or herbal: but Assam, Darjeeling, Earl Grey etc… (I prefer my tea in a mug: however, it was served in a cup & saucer - and the cup was hot! A very nice touch indeed.) Will return soon. Thank you

Tasty food, would 100% recommend the full English

A very nice place with good service. Only went in for a drink but the place was very busy serving food what is a good sign. Dog friendly as well.

Good food good service good atmosphere and definitely good fair pricing what more can you need..

My partner and I visited Brookside Cafe today for the first time. The welcome we received from the owners and staff was very warm and friendly. We both enjoyed the full cooked breakfast. We could tell the products used were of good quality, the bacon and sausages were particularly tasty. We shall return to try some of the offerings from the lunch menu.

We will definitely go back! Cosy, with nice food and fantastic staff!

Good food and service Staff helpful and friendly

Didn't book, accomodated 4 adults and child in high chair.

Very good but it was a bit too warm for me

Food wasn't to bad. However, the service was terrible. Staff were rude. Took ages for our order to be take, our plates were thrown in front of us then when paying staff came across extremely judgmental. Safe to say, we shall not be returning.

Stopped by for cup tea and also enjoyed some lovely cake with friends. Recommended.

Very dissapointed. Unable to review food or service as we were turned away. Made a journey as we heard this was a good restaurant. Checked online that it would be open until 4pm. Arrived at 3pm and, even though the door was open and staff inside we were told it was closed.

Family friendly eatery, warm ambiance. Food constantly reliable and wholesome. Keep going back and never been let down. After another visit with my family, all the above still applies.

Good breakfast. Included coffee. Reasonably priced. Recommended.

Fantastic meal, good atmosphere, helpful staff. Will be going back.

A friendly place to stop when it was pouring with rain and blowing us off our feet. Several other cafes in above turned us away with the dog but Brookside welcomed us with open arms. Super friendly staff with warm smiles that made us feel very welcome. Food was hot, well cooked, served quickly and was plentiful - it also tasted superb. The breakfast wasn’t greasy and the toast was hot! My wife had corned beef hash and eggs and said she felt 8 years old again, old school comfort food.

Found these guys while looking for a lunchtime snack on a damp day. A busy and thriving cafe/restaurant with good attention to detail, varied menu, good coffee and attentive professional staff who attend in and outdoors. Enough space between tables to be comfortable and not colliding with others getting in to them. The rear entrance is level through double doors for less able visitors in wheelchairs. Small step at the front entrance easily negotiated with care. Outside seating available (not used that day as it was bucketing down !) Dog friendly inside and out which is important for many. Good size portions of fresh cooked food in a short timeframe even when fairly busy. Very reasonable prices with offerings of local jams or chutneys plus cakes of all sorts at the till point. A very enjoyable experience especially on a run out to Trago.

Lovely experience, excellent food and friendly staff , worth every penny .

Visited the Brookside several times. Always friendly welcome from the staff. A hearty breakfast.

Nice dog friendly cafe on the edge of Bovey Tracey. Great breakfast, with a warm welcome

Top notch Christmas 🎄 nosh. Thank you 🤶🎅

Roast potatoes needed to be crisper, but good value for money.

Very pricey for low-quality breakfast food - eggs undercooked and slimy, sausages very low-quality - bacon dry. Only one single mushroom and most of the plate is filled with over-fried potatoes. Service is reasonable and the cafe generally caters for OAPs. Lots of people with dogs in there, and over 90% of the customers were over 70. Hideously expensive (£28 for 2 substandard breakfasts). Tea was awful - very weak indeed.

Excellent food with plenty of choice,staff very friendly and efficient. Some parking available as are restrooms.

Nice lunch and great service. Tr the jacket potatoes they are plus

Popped in for a fry up. Staff were great and the food came out fast and hot. Delicious 😋

A lovely restaurant/cafe in the heart of Bovey Tracey. Always a warm welcome and great food.

Found this little place by accident today, and was most impressed, everything was spot on from staff, service, menu, food, car parking, a little gem.

We had an unexpected visit to Bovey Tracey. Brook side was recommended to us. It was first class … friendly, lovely food…well done, thank you for making us feel so welcome. 🥰

A great place to eat at, we were well looked after & the food was as excellent as the service.

Quiet, peaceful place to have lunch. Both had Cold Meat Platter with Pickles, small salad and chips, pot of tea each. Real slices of turkey, beef and ham. The pickles are local and better than big brand names, as you would expect. Otter Vale Apple with West Country Cider our favourite. A little pricey but worth it.

Great cafe food consistently good.

Very nice food.staff freindly to

Visited today on recommendation from a couple we met in a coffee shop. An absolute gem of a place. I had the crayfish salad and friend had the cold meat platter. Both had dessert. The food was amazing and the service to match(thanks Sophie) .Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed some great food today at Brookside. Food and service first class. We will be back for sure.

Enjoyed a hearty breakfast here. Staff are friendly and polite. I'd strongly recommend it 👍

A real pleasant surprise! Food was great topped off with a cheese platter.

We sat outside. The lady who served us was lovely. Very pleasant surroundings right by the brook

Excellent food and service, came out quickly, Helpful, friendly staff. Free car park at back small and tight if very busy. There is a pay & display car park just 2 minutes away if theirs is full.

A charming restaurant with great staff and homely atmosphere. Extensive menu. But roast meals often accompanied by overcooked and limp vegetables. Mashed potatoes a lump of stodge. Salads and sandwiches are the best bet. Garden seating when the weather permits. Parking slots at the rear but spaces at premium. Public parking about ten minutes away.

Really pleasant and helpful staff and very good food

Went to Dartmoor to explore and stay over on Saturday night. Put into google local cafes open on Sundays. The Brookside Cafe came up and we put it on our maps. When we walked through the door we have a warm and lovely welcome, and was shown to our table. Good sized menu to choose from. Me and my partner both had the breakfast cook with a pot of tea and coffee. It was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Ordered 2 full English breakfast at £10.95 each. Quality was average, eggs were underdone and slimey. Tea was Very weak with 2 bags in a small pot, left it to stew but no change. Service was good and friendly, but for the price and quality of ingredients sadly won't be returning. I posted this review over a year ago, but Google moved it to an entirely different business..

Dropped in at 11:30 on a Sunday on the off-chance that they could fit us in for a coffee and cake - most of the cafes were closed and it was raining. They put us on a table that was reserved for lunch at 12:30 which was perfect. We both had a large coffee and a caramel shortbread which was very nice - I had started eating it before remembering to take a picture. Staff were very nice. They were fully booked for lunch which is always a good recommendation. The menu from breakfast through to dinner looked good. Based upon our limited experience we would recommend this place.

Lovely food fantastic staff would definitely recommend coming here

Had lunch with my uncle. Nice place and good food. Service was a little slow. Hadn't realised that there was a dog friendly section.

Nice little family run restaurant. The staff are always accommodating and helpful. Nice outside area and plenty of seating inside.

For the price I would expect 2 sausages or 2 bacon not 1 of each.

Have visited many times, good food and friendly service.

Always fab food ,in a lovely setting ,and great staff

Great for breakfast (cheeky champagne option), dinner and tea, this lovely business is a Bovey stalwart for many years... Always great quality food and a very warm welcome Back today, June 2023... Still fantastic!!

Gezellig dorpje, mooi wandelgebied!!

After visiting a garden and a tea room nearby, which were both shut!! We remembered that Brookside cafe was very in the vicinity and having been before and had a lovely meal, we decided to pay another visit. We'll we were not disappointed, the place was buzzing. The staff are very friendly and the food was great. We had a sandwich, which was very fresh and full of filling. Followed by a cream tea, the scones were massive and very light, and there was masses of strawberry jam and cream. We left feeling full and happy. Would highly recommend a visit.

The best value cream tea ever. The gluten free scones were delicious and the portions were large and delicious.

Very well run restaurant, great food, service and staff.

Excellent food and service thoroughly recommended

There isn't much to say as it is such a wonderful location and lovely staff. The scones are exquisite and you can ask for fruit scones with your cream tea :). The only mark down was that smoking is allowed outside.

Great value for money with well prepared and cooked British food from egg and chips to a full roast, excellent.

Very busy cafe easy parking and lovely selection on the menu. Cakes are to die for. Watch the waste line. Staff are so friendly and attentive.

Lovely lunch today at Brookside Restaurant. Delightful staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. Gorgeous roast dinner. Thank you. Will definitely be back

Great place for a good meal with a family get together. The staff handled our food order's brilliantly (not easy) I had the Pie of the Day which was Fabulous.

Great food. Super location Only this visit it took ages for someone to come to table to take order even though it wasn't busy

Nicest hot chocolate I've had in a long time.

S lovey find on a wet Sunday afternoon looking for cream tea. The service was very good, it was a lovely clean cafe restaurant and relaxing atmosphere and you could tell local regulars go there. Our cream tea and cheese scones were bug and very tasty with a good amount and selection for the price! Also absolutely fine with a toddler. Thankyou

Never been here before Popped in on off chance of a table for lunch Service was great Food was really good We will return

Very welcoming friendly staff. Very busy so it shows you how popular it is. Food was nice. Just a few extras on the afternoon tea would make it stand out e.g crisps, quiche, salad etc. A few different smaller slices of cake would be nice on it as well. Will definitely go back and recommend. Thank you!

Just had a wonderful festive lunch here today, with a group of ladies. Lovely food and service. Will be returning again.

Popular cafe with a traditional menu of good quality food. Large windows give it plenty of light and comfortable eating area.

An excellent lunch to celebrate father-in-law's 96th birthday. The food was delicious and there was a good range of options on the menu. We really enjoyed the experience.

My Fsther in Law brought us here when we visited him in a nearby nursing home. He had been before and was very excited to be going again. We can see why. The staff are wonderful Kind, very pleasant and knew how to time the attendance perfectly. The food was brilliant. Fresh and tasty. I had lamb and it was beautiful. The restaurant knows how to cater for its clientele and we felt comfortable and welcomed. This was the first of many visits to come. Prices were very reasonable also.👍

We landed on this place one weekday afternoon, it looked lovely as a garden suncatcher in the late afternoon sun. The waitress was very helpful and attentive, promptly clearing our desired table which had just been vacated and taking our order. The lunch of coronation chicken sandwich with side and crisps was delivered in no time. It was a very wealthy portion and tasted delicious. We washed it down with an ale. Lovely place, was very impressed and would definitely return

We come to Devon quite often having a relative here in Bovey Tracey. The Brookside is a favourite of ours. A great choice of food offered and it is always good. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Prices are good and we've never been disappointed. It's well worth a visit. Can be busy so you might consider booking ahead.

Good food at a fair price. Limited onsite parking but the local car park is only 3 min walk away. Always a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff

Excellent service, choice and the food was perfect. Friendly and helpful staff.

Good choice of menu at reasonable prices.Food and service was also good.

Service is a bit long but super friendly and honestly on a great level , food is delicious and atmosphere is lovely! Perfect place to have lunch with an old friend :)
