Hang Loose in North Devon

This is a great place for a coffee or something to eat when waiting for a train or shopping in the area. I meet friends here once a month and have never been disappointed. The full vegetarian breakfast is excellent. Don’t go to Costa, come here instead!

Oh my where do I begin! I would avoid this place at all costs! Guy behind the bar was rude not very welcoming at all.. the beer dribbled out the pumps .. coke from a can which was warm no ice.. seating uncomfortable, dust everywhere, we waited 30 mins for our food for it to be overcooked.. and a couple who arrived after us got their food before us.. there was people on another table who didn't finish their food and couldn't leave the pub quick enough either .. says it all ...

Not having oat milk is becoming a regular thing with all Costas now. Also, please and thank you don’t seem to be in the staff vocabulary either. You can smile and tell me to have a good day, but if you don’t say please when asking for money, or thank you when I hand it over, I’m going elsewhere in future!

As Costa’s go this one was clean and had a friendly and quick service. The mocha came in a giant mug and the server carried it over to the table for me as I was carrying a baby. They also provided a disposable cup when I left. Good stop while waiting for a train especially if the cafe at the station is closed. Dog friendly.

Waitress did her job, but a smile wouldn’t have gone a miss, seemed like she didn’t like her job or indeed may not be in the right career of hospitality. A hostess should be warm and welcoming. A can of coke with the glass would have been nice instead of as I witnessed a can shared between two different tables.. the food……. Dirty fries or rather swimming in a puddle of oil fries….. never have I ever seen so much oil I tipped it all out on to plate and napkins soaked it up! Awful will not be again!
