Creeping Thyme in Teignbridge

A hidden gem! Delicious food in a smart venue with a relaxed ambience. It is a family-owned spot that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend the Venison for a main. Can’t wait to go back soon!

Absolutely gorgeous and intimate place for what feels like fine dining at an affordable price! Went for a family Sunday roast meal and enjoyed 3 courses each of which we ate every bit of! The roast chicken supreme was delicious - would definitely recommend. We will be back!

Creeping thyme what can I say they see you eat with your eyes and my goodness it was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Every course cooked to perfection and yes we managed 3 courses. All local fresh ingredients and Tom and Louis are so friendly and professional absolute delight to dine here. The little bar is beautiful for pre or after dinner drinks or both cocktails are stunning just ask Tom to surprise you with his choice today’s was so good. We cannot think of any other restaurant where we have had better food and we do like to eat out a lot thankyou so much look forward to returning.

Thank you to the Creeping Thyme staff for our family dinner last night. We're from Swindon and currently staying in Devon for a long weekend. My husband found this place on Instagram and we decided to go last night, having seen the photos and menus. He emailed Thursday evening to ask for availability and quickly received a reply. He also asked if they would be willing to turn some bar snacks into a main for our very fussy daughter, as she wouldn't have eaten anything from the dinner menu. Thankfully they said yes. It's not the easiest to get to, if you're using Google Maps; it wanted us to take a road that was blocked off. The lighting around the grounds is also a bit lacking so get your phone torches out! The building, now a business centre that was a military hospital in the First World War, is stunning. It's quite quirky on the inside, still keeping quite an old-fashioned hospital look, which is interesting! The restaurant itself has a little bar to the side which looked good and we were invited by the staff to have a drink first, but, as we were with the kids, we didn't bother. The main dining area is impressive with high ceilings, huge windows and plants and the tables are centred around a beautiful baby grand piano. The menu is small, which isn't a bad thing. It is confusing though, as the menu is different on the website. The complementary appetisers were arrancini, one plate with a lemony sauce, one with a sweet chilli. They went down really well, even with The Fussy Eater! I had the John Dory with crushed new potatoes, chorizo and green beans. It was so nice and the portion was probably about right for most people, I just have a small appetite. For dessert, the peach parfait was really nice. The staff are friendly and attentive and, again, we really appreciated them accommodating our daughter (who also decided she didn't want anything from the dessert menu so asked for salted caramel ice cream, which is listed as a part of a dessert, not a dessert on its own, and they happily obliged, even asking if she'd prefer a cone or a bowl.) We all enjoyed the food and the experience as a whole. Thanks again.

Found creeping thyme on instagram and as we were staying in Exmouth thought we would give it a try. My daughter is a bit fussy so I dropped them a message on instagram and asked if they could do one of the bar snacks as a main and Louis was great and said no issue. From the moment you arrive out side it’s such a great setting to restaurant it’s self. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t have been nicer to talk to and accommodated our daughter very well. The food we had was fantastic and never felt like we were rushed or waiting long between service. 100% worth the visit and when we are staying in Exmouth again we will definitely be booking again. Thank you for a wonderful evening

I read an article on the BBC News website where the owner was quoted. Despite living within reach I hadn’t heard of this place so I read the reviews and booked for that evening. So pleased that I did. We found it a little difficult to find within the Seale Hayne complex - you go through the big arch and it’s at the back to the right. You’ll see the lights on! We had an earlyish booking & were the first to be seated for the evening so I was worried it would be really quiet and lacking in atmosphere but it actually became really busy however the waiting staff seemed to cope well. Attentive without overdoing it! There was a tasty amuse-bouche, delicious starter and wonderful venison which we both ordered. We’d also ordered a side of veg and one of chunky chips. They were good but unnecessary as the venison came with veg so only worth ordering if you have a large appetite. Final note - the photos of the dining room on here don’t do it justice. We’ll definitely be going back regularly.

Went for a impromtu lunch and loved every bit of it. The service was friendly and courteous. The food was lovely with just the right size portions. I am looking forward to steak night on Thursday!

Can’t recommend highly enough - amazing quality food, relaxed yet very attentive service, They went over and above with some lovely touches given we were on a birthday night out. We will definitely be going back

Exceptional food, relaxed but very attentive service. Worthy of their recent award wins and a hidden gem based on the number of covers occupied for a Friday night - highly recommend.

Wonderful food and staff. 10/10. A real treat. We finished every single scrape of food in our 3 courses, even though portions were generous! But worryingly quiet - so please support!

Exceptional Food! We celebrated my birthday with friends here. We had pre dinner drink in the side room which was very relaxing. We all had a Three course dinner and the food was amazing! the presentation and taste were incredible. Lovely evening and will be back soon

Sadly a disappointing experience. The cooks and waitress showed no flexibility or interest in their customers

Lovely meal in an unusual setting… we both really enjoyed the food which was presented beautifully and tasted very good indeed. We will be back …

Phenomenal. Very accommodating for gluten intolerance. Brilliant and friendly service, tasty food and generous portions. Lovely atmosphere.

We went here for a birthday meal and it was perfect! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The building is beautiful, there is lots of parking and it’s only a 10 minute drive from the centre of Newton abbot-What’s not to like?! Would definitely recommend.

Have been here twice now in the last 2 weeks. Firstly went for the steak evening & returned yesterday for Sunday lunch. Having looked up restaurants near to us found this online decided to try it as we like fine dining. This place did not disappoint. All food was perfectly cooked & so tasty. On the Thursday night the steaks were so tasty & perfectly cooked with amazing chips. For Sunday lunch we had assumed it would be a choice of roasts but they obviously try to cater for everyone with a range of dishes (one being a roast). We had the croquettes & the pork starter & then both had the roast chicken. They were the best roasties I’ve had in a restaurant ..proper crispy! To finish I had the white choc pannacotta which was delightful & my husband had the gooseberry tart, to which he said was the best dessert he’d had! The decor is also tastefully done & works as a great backdrop to the superb food. Seale Hayne is such a beautiful building so it’s nice it’s being put to good use now it’s not a college. It’s a little hard to find as signs arent particularly clear & it’s along a tight little lane but it’s worth it! It’s the sort of place we want to keep to ourselves so we can always get in! Keep up the fab work! We can’t wait to go back!

Having heard lots of good reports when they were in Bovey but never being able to get a table, we thought we’d try their new location. Having not been up to Seale Hayne before, I wasn’t sure exactly where the restaurant was, but once you drive up to the main building, it was fairly obvious. We were the first table at 7pm and I was slightly worried that we might be the only ones dining! This wasn’t the case and other tables arrived 20mins later. We chose off the nibbles plate, olives and cheese and truffle croquettes which were sensational! They are currently doing a special on 2 ribeye steaks, 2 sides with sauce and a bottle of wine which is what we chose. The steak was sublime, both of us were impressed so we chose a dessert to share. The white chocolate pancetta was impressive and we would definitely recommend to anyone to visit. You won’t be disappointed!

We have been to Creeping Thyme a few times now and the service and attentiveness of the staff is absolutely spot on. The food is amazing, outstanding in fact! We have booked both in advance and at short notice and have always had nothing but a well thought out and welcoming experience. Steak night last Thursday was sublime and such great value. From now on Creeping Thyme will definitely be our go to place for dining, and cocktails and nibbles with friends and family ❤️

My friend and I went back to this restaurant after reading the reviews for my birthday, what can I say, everything was just great, from the setting, service and especially the food well presented with great flavours, I had the pork and Panna cotta to follow with apricot sorbet was top notch,as a chef myself it's nice to appreciate fine dining for a special occasion,not that you need one,so get down to creeping thyme at seal hyne near newton abbot.thank you again.

Excellent food, friendly service, and a stunning location! 10/10 would creeping thyme again.

Lovely meal! Highly recommended

It is not often you find an absolute gem when you are not looking for one… but we have found ours. Creeping Thyme is an affordable, fine dining experience on our doorstep, set in the beautiful Seale Hayne estate just outside Newton Abbott. The venue is picturesque, peaceful and relaxing; the service outstanding and the food is simply superb. The menu is very carefully thought through, and we were glad not to be overwhelmed with far too much choice for a change. This small team deserves the awards that keep coming their way, we need to support this excellent restaurant. Go see for yourself, you will not regret it. Creeping Thyme – thank you for the wonderful anniversary evening

This is without doubt the best restaurant in the area by far. Newton Abbot has been crying out for a fine dining restaurant, and now we finally have one! We have eaten at Creeping Thyme 4 times with a variety of groups; twice at their old location in Bovey, and twice at the new location at Seale Hayne, so it's about time I left them a review. We absolutely LOVE it. The chef is extraordinarily talented and the team create a calm, professional and friendly atmosphere. The cooking is consistently excellent and the menu is exciting, modern and innovative. If you haven't discovered this gem yet, then get a date in your diaries - I promise you won't regret it. Really hard to pick a favourite dish, but the Pimms jelly with cucumber sorbet was outstanding...

AMAZING FOOD. First time I've been to this beautiful place. We were not disappointed. The restaurant and the food was stunning. We had lunch there. It was lovely light and airy in a relaxed atmosphere. Will love to come back of an evening or for the lovely Sunday roast for sure!!

Great lunch here today with family. The food was delicious and the presentation stunning. The chef was happy to adapt to suit our dietary needs (vegan) and the staff were really friendly . Lovely surroundings too. I would love to go back next time I'm in the area

Great vegetarian options, good service & lovely space.Chunky chips delicious! Would definitely go back & would consider for a special event.

Went for a family Sunday lunch out to the new location at Seale Hayne. It was such a treat! A really stunning setting for a fine dining restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious, we had perfectly cooked tasty food throughout the course, and enjoyed Creeping Thyme very much!! Will certainly be back! Thank you Louis and team :)

Second time visiting creeping thyme, the first being in their original Bovey Tracey location, this time at their new premises at Seale Hayne. The new setting is absolutely beautiful; the little bar area being dark and cosy and the restaurant being light and airy and sophisticated, the grand piano being a beautiful addition to the space. The service was super friendly and relaxed, and as we were there for a birthday we were offered a celebratory drink which was very kind and unexpected. The food was absolutely phenomenal, every morsel on every plate being perfectly cooked with amazing flavour, and each dish as a whole was expertly balanced by a very talented chef. I really hope Creeping Thyme thrives in its new location as this place deserves to be booked out weeks in advance. So happy there is finally a nice high end restaurant in the Newton Abbot area and we'll definitely be back.

Went for a family celebration dinner to the new Seale Hayne premises. Surroundings were lovely, all the food was so delicious. Beautifully presented and packed full of flavour. There is a nice little bar area too, which is a bonus. Comfortable place to wait for everyone to arrive. Bar and waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. Food, service and surroundings are exceptionally good. Will be back at the first opportunity.

Amazing food! A real destination for a fantastic evening out. The setting is lovely at Seale Hayne, tucked away and quiet. The restaurant very relaxing and everything eaten was exceptional. I look forward to returning!

If you want a great eating experience go to The Creeping Thyme at Sealehayne near Newton Abbot. (Go straight up the centre of the quad and turn right.) It’s only just opened and it’s so good to have a great dining place almost on the doorstep. I went with a friend and the food was sublime - the cinnamon panacotta to die for. I shall be going back very soon. Check the opening hours before you go as, at the moment, they’re not open everyday.

Had a truly delicious meal at Creeping Thyme at its new location at Seale Hayne, near Newton Abbot. Our lunch was of the very highest standard of preparation, cooking and presentation. The food could not be faulted. The service was very friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. We will certainly be returning and telling our friends they must go for probably the best gastronomic experience in our immediate area. S.Cox

Excellent Food, Outstanding Chef, & a Brilliant Host! Try Creeping Thyme, you will not be disapointed.

Fantastic 3 course meal, delicious food and excellent service!

I booked Creeping Thyme for my partners birthday dinner and was blown away by the whole experience. Louis’ food was just sublime and Dawn our server was so incredibly warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend this venue enough. We will absolutely be returning to experience their new premises in Seale Hayne in March 2024. They deserve all of their accolades. Simply sublime.

My partner and I visited Creeping Thyme last week whilst visiting Dartmoor. The whole experience was exceptional. Dawn and Louis were welcoming, friendly and engaging, and the food was incredible! We were the only table in there at the time, and so Louis was able to come out and speak to us afterwards which added a personal and special touch to the meal. It was clear that a high level of attention to detail had gone into our dishes. We definitely recommend visiting. Wishing you every success with the new restaurant!

Best meal we have had in a long time, ordered salmon and the duck to start followed by venison and aranchni then apple and pear crumble and lemon parfait all were stunning, full of flavour really well cooked will be recommending.

We really enjoyed our visit here at Creeping Thyme; we came up for a last minute booking looking to try local places and we weren't disappointed! We were greeted by Dawn who was lovely and welcoming, made sure we were comfy and got us sorted. We had starters and mains and they were all really excellent, I loved my duck starter and the burger was phenomenal 🥰 The music was low key and appropriate - not too loud! My partner had the salmon and the arancini and both were exceptional. No hesitation in returning! We look forward to more delicious food when we return.

Great spot for high quality food and fair pricing as you really get your value for money. Highly recommend. Dining experience was exceptional with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. The menu offered an array of dishes and I had the lamb which was a culinary delight. Can’t wait to visit the new venture to explore more of their delicious creations!

Four meals ordered. One lamb steak and three burgers were ordered (two venison and one vegitarian). Burgers were bland and expensive at £27.00 each plus service charge. The lamb steak at £30.00 plus service charge was tough to the extent that a knife could barely cut through it and consisted of at least 50% hard uncooked FAT. A complaint about the lamb resulted in an apology from the waitress with the reasoning from the chef that "a rump cut is usually tough" and a bottle of beer was given free of charge as the "chef's way of saying sorry". Apparently no one else has ever complained which I find hard to believe but nevertheless I imagine that a lack of return visits may prove otherwise. The chef !!? chose not to come out of the kitchen to apologize which was clearly not due to the restaurant being too busy. Such a shame as it could of turned out to be a regular haunt in a town needing decent eateries.

Had wanted to go here since it opened, on a whim managed to get a table for two. Overall, it was a great meal, with us both having 3 courses. Each course had lovely little bits and bobs that made the dishes top notch. It is fine dining without the pomp. Quite small portions, especially for the vegetarian cauliflower dish; whilst absolutely lovely did seem a little on the pricey side for the amount of veg on the plate. Regardless, ate every last bit. Others have noted about bread which I wanted to mop my sauce and was offered quite a sweet brioche, really didn't go which was a shame, but a minor winge in what was a lovely experience and highly recommend.

Party of four burgers were salty plate bulked up with chunky chips one of the party doesn't eat chips so asked for salad and was told they don't keep salad a tesco is within walking distance of the restaurant .A service charge is added to the bill which I don't mind paying if the meal is half decent .I wouldn't recommend this restaurant

Second time back here and food was incredible again. Lovely atmosphere and great service!

Oh my goodness the food was delicious. We had a fantastic time and we were made very welcome. Most definitely visit again!! A big thank you to Lewis & Donna, who were lovely.

Such a lovely restaurant with friendly staff and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing meal we had tonight. Service was excellent and we would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.

Excellent dinner at this restaurant, so good that we went back the following night, which was just as good. Food and service both outstanding.

My friend and I made Bovey Tracey as the jumping off point for a week’s holiday in this part of Devon. We were staying at a pub that offered no meals, so we ate out all the time.When we entered Creeping Thyme we received a warm welcome and were seated. The menu choice was interesting and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been invested in order to render the menu choices appealing not only to the eye but also to the taste buds. On the first visit ( we liked the restaurant so much we went a second time ) my friend ordered gurnard ( a type of fish she had not eaten before) which she found very tasty. I had duck and it was amazing. The portion were generous. The standard of cooking, accompaniments and gravy were what you would get in a Michelin starred restaurant. I then finished with dessert (the parfait )and it was delicious.On the second occasion, my friend and I both chose ham hock for a starter ( scrumptious) that friend then followed with the duck.On the earlier occasion Lewis the chef/patron said he would cook me chicken (not on the menu) when I came for the second occasion and he was true to his word. The chicken was superb. I prefer red to white wine and downed a couple of glasses of smooth Merlot.All in all, two very unexpectedly enjoyable dinners at the Creeping Thyme. My friend and I frequent restaurants that serve high quality meals and we are satisfied that Creeping Thyme is up there with the best of them.

Very limited menu, choice of just three main courses. Our table was underwhelmed by the food, it was nothing special. Website advertises an A La Carte menu, this was not available. We won’t be returning.

This is a small restaurant with a short menu, each item special. I had the Confit of Duck, while my date had Pavé of Hake, each just right for tastes and size. We had started with Crusty Feta with Lemon Aioli (me) and Tempura Whitebait (date) and we were able to finish with Dark Chocolate Ganache with Tiramisu ice cream (me) and Earl Grey Crème Brûlée. All delicious. The wine is worth a mention: Los Picos Merlot from Chile – light in taste and only 12% ABV. It was a great evening out with friendly and efficient service in an attractive and cosy setting. Thanks!

We just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in this gem of a restaurant! The ambience was cosy and understated. The service was friendly and the food surpassed our expectations. It was delicious. chef obviously loves his craft. Thank you for making this special occasion even more special.

What a lovely nice little restaurant this is! The atmosphere is great and above all the food is excellent. Every dish is carefully made out of the best fresh ingredients by this great chef! Cannot recommend more!

Delightful food and good atmosphere. Perfectly cooked head bream fish dish Very good local cider aswell , Devon red recommended.

Each course delightfully presented, interesting and tasty. Chicken terrine and pumpkin soup as starters, mains of bream and fried gnocchi. Great setting for a romantic dinner.

Delicious meal and reasonably priced - £31 for three courses

Our first time at Creeping Thyme and it won't be our last. Super friendly service and delicious food. Exceeded our expectations.

We had a beautiful dinner last night at Creeping Thyme. The flavours were fresh and delicate, the trout was cooked to perfection. I had the coconut pannacotta with pineapple sorbet for pud and it was heavenly! Lovely service, in an intimate & pretty setting. Thankyou Creeping Thyme, your doing a great job!

Stunning food. It looked amazing and tasted even better. A feast for the eyes and mouth. We will definitely be back soon.

Utterly gorgeous food... not cheap! Service and ambience great. Only 20 covers so you are not drowned in other people's conversations.

Having recently moved to the area, I was very keen to try the best place in town! I was far from disappointed. Everything was delicious on both our plates. A small menu which no doubt keeps the quality up. Friendly and unstuffy service. I'll be sure to bring all my visitors here!

We’ve been meaning to try CT for a while now and so I booked a table for two one a Saturday evening. It’s a really small place but comfortable and so friendly. The menu is small and the drinks list too but don’t be put off, you’ll struggle to choose what to eat as it all sounds fantastic. Grilled mackerel with capers and gin granita was amazing, as was the pork fillet main. My wife’s sea bream was also very good. If the rhubarb cake dessert is on the menu when you visit then you have to try it!

We enjoyed a beautifully presented and tasty meal. It was a celebration of my partners birthday. The quality of our food and delivery was great. A nice relaxed restaurant with friendly service. This business deserves to thrive in these challenging time. Bovey needs places like this. Recommended and I’m sure we will be back.

This is great restaurant. Small personal & has a lovely ambiance. The food is amazing, local produce, beautifully cooked & presented. We enjoyed every dish. The whole experience of our visit was perfect from the great food to the lovely lady looking after our table. We are so pleased we found it & can’t wait to return.

I spotted this little place had won some awards when looking at things online so thought worth a drive (22miles) for my husbands birthday meal. Sweet little place - rustic, unpretentious with a warm welcome (especially as we were late - my worst nightmare). We had very nice bottle of wine chosen from a short list and followed eith three courses each. The duck croquettes and mackerel starters were both stunning. The generous portion of lamb was great too. I had the parmesan gnocchi. Not my usual choice but it was very good and an attractive plate. For pudding we went for the chocolate mousse and rhubarb sponge. Again all very nice although I felt the sponge could have been lighter but I am no expert. We thought this place was great and well worth the £132 we parted with. The chef is doing a great job and we hope this little place thrives.

A lovely little restaurant with great service and excellent food. The only shame about the evening is that there weren't enough people in the restaurant - so if you are reading this do go along and support this chef who has recently started the business....

Excellent cuisine - some dishes ( I had duo of lamb) superb ! 12/10. A little expensive (£97 for two starters and two mains + four drinks) but (as the saying goes) you get what you pay for). Highly recommended. Only one minor complaint; all...

Lovely lunch prepared for my fathers 93rd birthday. Really tasty beautifully presented meals for 12 with the menu focusing on preparing a few quality dishes.

Devious and beautifully presented plates. A little gem of a restaurant.

Just had an amazingly tasty meal. Excellent service with a smile too. Lovely little friendly place. Heard it was good. They won a Gold taste of the west award, whilst we were there. Definitely would recommend.

A superb meal .. Every course was beautifully presented a true work of art and totally delicious !! A wonderful cosy atmosphere, with a gorgeous rustic edge... Our visit was made especially lovely due to the fantastic hosting skills of the waitress /front of house Dawn... Fantastically attentive and a great chatty , bubbly personality... I would highly recommend a visit to enjoy this wonderful eating experience.. Well done guys!! We'll most certainly be back..

First time here and would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere, attentive service and lovely tasty food. Very different tastes. Had the hock ham terraine, fish and mussels, cheesecake. Will certainly return.

Very good food ordered nibbles starters main and desserts all excellent with good portion size and good value for money, polite welcoming staff.

We read about Creeping Thyme on Devon Live and certainly have a preference for independent restaurants, which are few in the area, so we were keen to give this a try, so glad we did!! Dawn provided a great front of house personal service and...

Had a lovely evening here. The food was fabulous. Perfectly cooked and presented. Such a cosy atmosphere. Subtle background music. It was a great unwinding experience. Lovely staff and great service. Definitely going to go back.

Amazing food friendly staff and attentive service worth every penny and more!!

Best meal we have had in quite a few years. Would highly recommend. Friendly and efficient service too.

The food at this restaurant is excellent. Very good meal last night. They deserve every success

Fabulous lunch today at the Creeping Thyme today for the mother-in-law’s birthday. Truly excellent food, comfortable surroundings and friendly service. If you are in the area please do take the opportunity to support this local business. We will certainly be back! Thank you to Lewis...

Like previous reviews, excellent and well presented food, we ordered veal and hake for mains, both very well executed. The dessert which was chocolate creameux was divine. Thankyou to the chefs and front of house for a lovely experience.

Lovely food, well cooked and very well presented

Food was ok, just could have been a little more of it for our liking. After having 3 courses we went home to have cheese and biscuits! We were also sat by the window and got quite cold on an autumnal evening, so much so none of us took our coats off all night. So don't sit there if you suffer with the cold! Update: thank you for the reply but I think you are confused. This review was originally left about a year ago and we’ve only been the once and this is the only review I’ve left. Regards

Small, intimate restaurant, small menu, but what great food. Moorish curry flavoured popcorn nibbles on entry. Excellent wine served by a very attentive but not intrusive waitress (Dawn). We had the whitebait and feta balls for our entree. We followed this with the hake and...

Outstanding in every way. Some friends discovered this little gem and treated us out!

The attention to detail, the service and the passion for what they do can be seen. The flavours are balanced and amazing. Louis is an amazing chef. Service from Dawn is friendly and efficient, The portions will leave you satisfied, wondering if you CAN fit...

Food was wonderful! Really good to see a restaurant of this standard in Bovey Tracey. My husband and I loved it. The service was excellent as well. Dawn was friendly and attentive without being in your face. Well done Lewis to have the flair and tenacity to open such a fabulous restaurant in uncertain times. We'll be back!! Again and again. Loved it, thank you xxx

My family and I had the most wonderful evening here. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend the banana parfait for desert and #Lou Rose to drink. Thank you for a brilliant evening!

Visited with the family recently on a weekend in Bovey Tracey. The town's food offerings seems to be exclusively pub grub so we were pleased to find something a bit more special and so glad we made the effort! It's only a small venue so...

We had dinner at Creeping Thyme as a birthday treat, and it really was a treat. The food was amazing! My main course was probably the best vegetarian plate of food I've ever had. It was also very relaxed and welcoming, cosy and informal. We...

We lwere the first in tonight (18.8.22) but everything was very comfortable and easy going. My wife and I shared whitebait to start and the had rabbit (me - absolutely excellent) and hake. Lovely ambience. Will be back soon.

From the friendly welcome by Dawn and the great ambience, Creeping Thyme is a great small restaurant in the heart of Bovey Tracey. So refreshing, firstly, that Dawn was so, so proud of the incredibly talented chef and he certainly didn't let anyone down! The...

Hidden gem and well worth a visit. Wonderful fresh, tasty food. Fab menu. Will definitely be back.

Wonderfully fresh, local tasty food. Food looked great and tased even better. Well worth a visit.I will definitely return

We so enjoyed dinner here, so lovely that we have this niche restaurant so close to us, such a talented chef. I love to support a great independent local business. I highly recommend a visit.

A lovely restaurant. Fabulous food , such a talented chef. It's great to support such a good local business

I came down for a holiday from Bognor Regis and found this outstanding restaurant where I had a mackerel starter, lamb main and a chocolate desert. All I can say is wow, all three course were amazing. I highly recommended this restaurant to everyone, the experience was one of a kind with outstanding service that topped the experience off

Lovely intimate restaurant in Bovey Tracey. Definitely worth treating yourself if you are there. The food is amazing and the service is spot on. We had the lamb and the flavours were amazing. Always giving attention to detail the presentation is wonderful.

Great little restaurant, the lamb was amazing and the bakewell tart was even better. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and accommodating! Lovely food too. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Amazing. Popped in to try the new take out. One of the best burgers and chips I have had. Recommend you try. Restaurant is nicely decorated and I sm looking forward to trying in a week or so. Sorry forgot to take photos. I was to busy enjoying 🙂.

Excellent food and service well worth a visit shall be going back definitely recommend the food was amazing
