What's happened to this place? Been here many times but today was awful. I booked a table for two and there was a bit of confusion where to sit us, once seated we were waiting ten minutes for our drinks (which initially went to the wrong table) were told our food orders would be taken separately, which they were around ten minutes later. We got our food 50 minutes after arriving. It was luke warm and the chips were hard and dry, the 'gammon' was little more than a slice of bacon, the chicken breast was small and dry. We left half of our meal. When asked if everything was ok I said the food wasn't as it should be, the waitress reported back to the manager who offered a free drink, but we declined as we had to leave (given that we had already been kept waiting). I paid £35 for two soft drinks and two main meals which were all but inedible. The waitress was lovely and apologetic which stopped me taking it further. So disappointed with the visit, I have been ripped off. Maybe it was an off day, but I don't think I will be returning anytime soon, and certainly not for food.

Booked as a family of 4 to mark a very sombre occasion. Arrived to be told the electricity was off but expected back in half an hour. Eventually ordered. Food was cold on hot plates. Turkey was dry. Pie was a pot of cream sauce with a small pastry top. Liver and onions also cold and dry. They reheated the liver and turkey dinner. They came back part piping hot, part cold and mushy. Deeply unpleasant. They didn't charge for the turkey, but this was a very disappointing experience and waste of money and ruined the experience/remberance we had planned. Unless you like pre made microwaved food, I would avoid.

The staff tried to be polite but the food was disappointing. We wanted English breakfast but were told not available after 11:30. Okay, instead we ordered two soups of the day. The soup was disgusting 🤮🤮🤮 no taste, the bread was burnt and the waiter brought the butter later he just threw them in the plate. Not nice at all. We just wanted a good morning breakfast memory from there but unfortunately not.

Won’t be in a rush to go back! Lovely building in a great location with lots of potential, but devastatingly let down by poor customer service, poorly managed, no atmosphere and a stressed vibe from staff. The food is overpriced and sub standard. Hygiene has also been raised in previous reviews and I agree it could also be better. Overall I’d say give it a miss.

Went to this legendary place (still known to the wife and I as "The Green Cafe") for breakfast and had the Hash Brown Stack. It was absolutely perfect and I would recommend it to any growing lad or ladette. Really tasty and crispy. And enough to satisfy my appetite.

Awful! Turned up and got seated and we asked to move seats and got sent to a table with a broken chair! Then proceeded to wait ages for any service. All of the staff were not the most appealing and got a weird feeling. Finally got to the carvery and there was no meat, potatoes or Yorkshire pudding!!!! The main part of a roast! After dishing up our meals and sitting down, every bite of food got progressively worse. Especially when the cutlery given to us was dirty!! And to top it of it cost £18 for a carvery. 2/10 wouldn’t not recommend!

Good food and good service. Friendly staff too. Family friendly. Though their prices have increased about 25% recently. But considering the economic difficulties that's to be expected. And it's still good grub at a good price, even now. The Sunday carvery is pretty amazing too - it's so good that you need to book in advance. I go there often.

Went to the Dartmoor Diner a few days ago and was very disappointed. I was given a new menu , which I found was totally different. The selection was reduced and the prices were higher. When I queried this I was told it was under new management. The service was poor and the food was of a poorer quality. Many other customers were unhappy with the food, value and customer service. I have been going to the Dartmoor Diner for years. I shall not be going again. Such a shame !!!

Came for carvery with family on Sunday. Hadn’t been here for few years. The roast was always amazing and good value for money. However the price now is higher than average and was not as good quality as it used to be. My main disappointment was that when I asked if I could get a child’s portion for my dad who has Alzheimer’s and only eats a small amount I was told no I couldn’t do that rather abruptly. Is that really so unacceptable? A little kindness goes a long way and brings back custom. I won’t be back there again which is sad when I have grown up going there since it was the little green hut.

Stopped off for some breakfast. Beans on toast was top noche. No problem with letting us have a cat, because it was busy they asked if we would mind sitting outside with him which we had no quoms with as it was a nice morning. My teacup was dirty and I asked for a clean one when our food came. She acknowledged that it was dirty, apologised and brought me a clean one right away.

We arrived late, right at the end of breakfast service. The staff were friendly and helpful and ensured the chefs were able to get us breakfast even though it was our fault if we missed out. The interior is rather tired but there's a certain charm to it, we sat outside, most picnic benches slightly broken but they did the job. The breakfast itself was unfortunately not made from high quality ingredients. Sausages very bready and other elements rather greasy. Eggs yellowy in colour instead of golden yolks. This could again be our fault as we arrived late and this would be the final pieces of breakfast left over - but I felt it could have been better. Great location, we had a nice walk afterwards into the moor and the breakfast set us up for that.

Good food, my wife said her roast was very tasty. My all day breakfast was good, with a good choice of toast or fried bread. There was a friendly welcome with good service. Prices were average. Yes we will go back, but not top of our list. The only thing we didn't like was the smell of fat as you entered the building, which was a little off putting.

First impressions were of the car park. I thought we were going to break the suspension! There are some serious pot holes that could do with filling before an accudent is had. However, that's really where the negative ends. Staff were super nice and helped out with supplying a high chair. Would be nice for the high chair to have a little tray for food as unfortunately the little one kept dropping her fruit on the floor. Dogs are welcomed and although I'm not a fan of dogs in restaurants, we have to live and let live, right. The place was clean, as were the utensils and cutlery. I enjoyed my breakfast, but I do think one or two items on the 'make your own' could be a little cheaper. £1.50 is a lot for a single hash brown. But it was good to be able to pick your own items as I am allergic to eggs and don't like bacon. Service was quite slow but it was busy and when the food arrived, it was all brought at once and it was deliciously hot. The coffee/latte was very nice too. I think the prices are reasonable for the set menu meals. I live in London so most things cost twice as much when I'm at home. All in all a clean place with good food, nice staff and an old world atmosphere. I would definitely go again.

A very poor and rude welcome upon our arrival from the elderly lady with the wavy brown hair. We weren’t made to feel welcome at all. And we were told we had to vacate our table at midday, but yet it was only 10am at the time!? It took ages to be served, despite numerous staff members. it didn’t have a friendly feel at all. We didn’t eat but the food didn't look great. The fried breakfasts looked like they were made up of cheap sausages and bacon etc but they weren’t asking for cheap prices for their food and drinks. And judging by the hygiene standards in that place, I wouldn’t want to eat there. The cutlery was dirty and greasy. Not properly washed at all. We had hot drinks only. £5 for a pot of tea for two!? Madness and greed. Yea bags cost tuppence and you’re asking the same similar prices for tea like the overpriced coffee there. The men’s toilets weren’t priority cleaned. The toilet seat was broken and was just laid in place, not fitted and it had not been cleaned for days. The floor in the men’s was disgusting. Filth everywhere. It’s not been deep cleaned in months. These things give you a good insight into what the kitchen must be like. I shudder to think.

Yesterday we had lunch at The Dartmoor Diner. Three of us, accompanied by my Guide Dog. Two All Day Breakfasts, and Egg & Chips, with tea all round. Delicious, and extremely good value for money. What really made the experience special for me though, was the reaction, and attitude towards my Guide Dog and I. It’s sadly rare to be treated with such tact and respect. You placed us on a table with plenty of room for a large Labrador to lie underneath in comfort, completely ignored the dog, and the gentleman who waited on us very calmly told me whenever and wherever he was putting something on the table. Things like this make such a difference. Thank you, we will be back.

Arrived hoping for coffee and scones at 2pm. Server pointed us to the general area to sit. Huffed when we didn't want a meal. No scones. Only 1 teacake and that wasn't fresh. Cake was OK but sickly sweet. Flat white coffee? More like tepid milk. So weak. No froth. Was there any actual coffee in it? It was served to me slopped over the saucer. I asked for a napkin to mop it up and waiter brought some and slapped them on to the table. Have passed this establishment several times and car park was busy so had high hopes. Appalling service, food and attitude. As I paid, the tips beermug was pushed towards me. Really!!
