Mooplehog in West Devon

This restaurant was popular, but,being quite small, has CLOSED at this spot, but HAS MOVED to FORE STREET about 300 yards to the East, near the East Okement River, and its name has changed to " The Allotment ", as it uses food all supplied locally. I highly recommend it for a smiley welcome & good wholesome food. Now sells jams & preserves.

We stopped off here and had a vegan hot chocolate with our lunch. The vegan hot chocolate was better than most 'normal' hot chocolates that I've had, so I was very impressed! The food also was very nice, not entirely filling, but a decent sized lunch.

A small, very friendly & welcoming venue. You can sit alone at a table & just start chatting to another stranger, thus breaking down barriers between people. Drinks are delicious & nothing is too much bother to the Lady there. Nice nibbles to buy at reasonable prices. The Shop Title comes from the Lady's youth when it became a family nickname, Smiles here are FREE !

Neither of us are vegan or even veggie. We do like good food though and the breakfast casserole we had was simply delicious. Rich, hearty, warming and pretty different to most things you'll find on any menu. Nice quirky feel to the place too.

We arrived in Okehampton on the Saturday, had read reviews of this vegan restaurant before we left so planned to stop in for a coffee before check in at our Air BnB. Unfortunately we couldn’t all fit in as the establishment only sits 10 people. So we regrouped, let the week pass, contacted the owner (who was delightful) and booked ourselves in for the Friday morning. As we had a group of 9, she closed the restaurant for breakfast so we had exclusive use for the first 2.5 hours. The food itself was amazing! Between our group we had a mixture of the evolving menu. We enjoyed the full hog, the breakfast yogurt bowl, and the crumpets! All of them delicious! As a group we also enjoyed a selection of hot and cold drinks. When we left none of the plates or bowls were burdened by left overs, clear plates as far as the eye could see. I used the phrase evolving menu because when we asked to see the menu before we booked, Rebecca was unable to fulfil this request as she didn’t know what vegetables she would have from the allotment that morning! Perfect!This is a restaurant I would highly recommend to anyone, vegan or otherwise, in the local area. The food was filling and delicious. The host was fabulous. The cakes were cracking.

Came here twice during our holiday in the South West, having breakfast and lunch on separate days. Both times food was amazing, so much flavour and very clear care and time is put into every meal. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and amazing cakes too!

This is a tiny place with personal service and passionate cooking so don't be in a hurry at busy times. Our plates were works of art at very fair prices. Real plant based foodie eating. No toilets but wander to Spoons close by. Well done to this engaging Cafe, we would like to try everything on the menu.

A really great find. Lovely, friendly cafe with a fantastic range of vegetarian food. I had the smoked beans on toast, which were delicious, so full of flavour. My husband had a gorgeous Mediterranean tart with a salad which he said was beautiful. And to top it off a donation is made to a local charity with every purchase. We will definitely come back if we’re in the area.

Absolutely lovely family run place. Very quirky and comfortable set up. Made me a beautiful coffee exactly how I asked for it also. Highly recommend.

Took my family here today and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch. You can really tell that the ingredients are sourced with care. The cafe is a unique and special place and that it is a social enterprise too is fantastic.

Cosy cafe in heart of Okehampton with very personal service andlovely choice of food. Took my daughter here for lunch. She is vegan gluten free and Rebecca the owner was keen to offer her a choice of different dishes, which was very appreciated anddelicious. The cafe is very small and personal but worth sharinga table or waiting for one to enjoy this delightful food.Thank you Rebecca will certainly be back.

We spent a few days near Okehampton and had already found the cafe on the internet. The place is cute with lots to see and read and we had a pleasant chat with the lovely lady who owns the cafe while we enjoyed our vegan drinks. We are sad that we live too far away to drop by regularly (Germany :-/) but if we ever manage to stay again in that area, a visit to Mooplehog and the helpful owner is a definite must!!

We were looking for somewhere to have a late lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. The outside of the cafe caught our eye as we drove through Okehampton, so quickly parked and went inside. Had a lovely welcoming feel.Lots of tasty things on the menu but chose to have the veggie soup which turned out to be thick, delicious and in a huge bowl with a roll. Very filling! We hung around afterwards and had a great chat with the owner who shared her food sourcing ethics and how she came to start the cafe. though we live in Cornwall would definitely go there again when in the area. Great find! Thank you!

This is a small intimate and friendly café, which I can truly recommend as delicious and a great place to recharge your batteries. A place where people with dietary requirements can relax and enjoy being treated to having all their needs catered for. Eat a meal that is tailored for you! Then it’s served up to you in beautiful colours and flavours. Their dairy free hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. We have always enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and everyone in the café joins in for a friendly natter so it’s a lovely place to meet people or just be part of an interesting conversation. There are loads of amazing cookbooks to look through and you can learn loads of tips on preparing delicious alternative cuisine. A big bonus to the menus are the raw cakes, which not only very yum but you can indulge yourself and get away with minimal calories!

I attended the Mexican Themed buffet night on 27th April 2019, and the food can only be described as the work of a Culinary Genius - the gastronomic delights created were "off the scale" amazing - an accolade only awarded to the best in the business! Great value too. If I didn't live well over an hour away, I'd eat here at least 3 times a week!

My family and friends were staying at Wortham Manor (Landmark Trust) property nearby and luckily we heard about Mooplehog before we arrived in Devon. We had lunch on the first day we arrived and the vegan food was so tasty that we came back for another visit before we headed back to London. The breakfast was just sublime. The owner is really nice too.

What a beautiful little place. The food was delicious and we were made to feel extremely welcome - nothing was a problem. Even better - it is dog friendly! Thanks again for being so hospitable. This is a vegan cafe for everyone.

Small, friendly vegan cafe with delicious food and eclectic surroundings. Good choice of vegan foods for snacks or full meal. Definitely recommended. Dogs also made extremely welcome.

Visited Mooplehog en route from Cornwall to Somerset hoping to have some breakfast. Unfortunately the electricity had broken so was forced to have cake instead. Oh the hardship........Lovely friendly staff & super welcoming to well behaved doggos too. Cafe is entirely vegan which is a welcome thing to see. The majority of their ingredients are sourced locally too. Hope to visit again & try some more delicious (hot) food next time. A great new little business that is well worth supporting.

I went twice in one week!I had olive, pepper and chilli cheese pizza then spicy bean and cheese topped jacket potato! Followed by first vanilla butter cream cake then chocolate orange cake. Delicious and a totally vegan! What an utter hidden gem.Despite suffering an electrical fault and consequently having minimal options this week, we were delighted to visit this welcoming cafe! The available options did not disappoint and they will be fully up and running in a week - thank goodness as I will be back very soon!The owner is passionate friendly and caring and made our experience even better. See you soon mooplehog!

Quirky but wonderful interior. Good quality food and friendly staff. No toast was available as there was a problem with their electricity. However, at nearly a tenner for a tea, hot chocolate and two slices of cake, I was not impressed seeing that for the same amount we could've got two decent brekkies elsewhere.

We visited mooplehog today and came away with some tasty homemade vegan pizza and some vegan chocolate cake. You would never know that unfortunately they are suffering some electrical problems that should be sorted by the end of next week. The owner is still open but has a limited hot menu. There are lots of hot and cold drinks available including a delicious orange juice, arrowroot and ginger and black pepper drink. Lots of cakes and three different soups today including beetroot and kale - yum. The owner is lovely and has only been open since September, her warm character is reflected in the homely decor and she sells vegan cream too! Let's support our small traders and go visit mooplehog today.

We read about this little cafe on FB and decided to pop in. We were not disappointed - friendly, helpful staff and interesting menu. Will definitely visit again and, as they're dog friendly, take our 4 legged friend as well!!!

Having grown up close to Okehampton I was so happy and excited to find Mooplehog when visiting family recently! It really is a little hidden gem and perfect whether you're vegan or not. Being vegan myself it was so refreshing to be in a cafe and not have to worry about what I can or cannot order, the menu choices were amazing with lots of coffee's, homemade cakes, soups and main meals, everything is cooked fresh too. The cakes are some of the best homemade bakes I've had (even before I went vegan!), so good we even went back the next day for more takeout slices to take on our walk! I highly recommend the carrot cake and blueberry & lemon cake! We received a very warm welcome with lots of chats about vegan cooking and baking which was lovely. Looking forward to the next trip to sample the main meals soon! This is a must stop for any Dartmoor visitor.

I went to Mooplehog because one of our party is vegan, however I came away deciding it’s the number 1 place for foodies in Okehampton. It’s very reasonably priced too at 8/9 for a main course, and what was served was a feast for the eyes as well in lovely colourful bowls that were all differeny patterned, really beautiful. The interior seats 12 arranged in 3 tables for 4, and everywhere there are ingenious decorative touches and a genuinely stylish array of items for sale. The service is low key and informal. The menu comes as a stack of hand written flash cards to sort into piles to help you decide if you like, and helps the owners to not have to keep rewriting a black board when things run out! Everything is made fresh and tasted it. I’ll be going back.

This small, friendly establishment beckoned yesterday. Welcomed on arrival, and then a choice of drinks and meals. I chose the chai and a delicious meal topped with roasted veg. It was so worth the completely reasonable 20 minutes as it was prepared from scratch. Very tasty, well-seasoned and filling. Kept me going for the rest of the day. Just the place to take a break from the outside world, recharge and start again refreshed.

I’m a confirmed omnivore. But sometimes having a really high quality vegan meal just ticks the box. Would recommended.

We popped in on the way through Okehampton. We were greeted with friendly smiles from the moment we walked in. The owners are clearly passionate about food and how it’s made and had lots of time for us. We felt like old friends by the time we left full of beautiful cake and the very best black Forrest got chocolate with real cherries in the bottom! Omg! The food and atmosphere made us want to go back again and again. A real gem. A must if you are foodie at heart. Thanks guys. We will be back Chris & Nina

The owners have restored by faith in human kindness and rectified a problem quickly and efficiently. A great big thank you. I would recommend coming here and if you want a certain time to book to ensure a space. Tasty food. Lovely owners good atmosphere.

Delicious cake in mooplehog. Hard to choose one so we got three! Such reasonable price for handmade vegan yummy cakes. Will be back very soon. Great customer service and comfortable with the children

What I liked most was the warm welcome from genuine people who it sounded like were involved in the community and upcycling of goods. Food and drink were innovative and fresh. Sweet n savoury crumpets, milkshakes and an array of homemade cakes.

MooplehogOkehamptonFabulous raw cakes and tasty, healthy mains!625941587Yesterday we ate in Mooplehog in Oakhampton.For main we had paninis and salad - one was with lemon preserve and one with coriander and chilli. Desserts were two amazing raw cakes; chocolate/walnut and carrot. I also had a really thick hot apple drink with cinnamon.It was good food with the mains cooked to order.The premises is transitioning from a gifte shop to a vegan cafe and there are still some gift things around. There is a bookshelf with several vegan cookbooks to look at whilst eating/drinking.It, especially, makes an ideal stopover when on a journey to/from Cornwall and the north!Mooplehog also has a monthly vegan dinner night to look out for.Dog-friendly as well!

I found this lovely little cafe on the Happy Cow website when I was researching places to eat before going on holiday in Devon. It had only been open for 2 weeks! The owner is lovely - very friendly and a great cook. There is a small, but imaginative, menu because she prepares everything (except some of the cakes) herself, using locally grown organic produce. At busy times, be prepared to wait a little for your food.Eating there made my holiday, and Rebecca advised us on local places to visit. Although the cafe is tiny, it's dog friendly, which made it even better. The decor is fun, too. Closed Weds but open at the weekends.

This is an amazing little family run cafe that is completely vegan and half the time you wouldn't even know! The food is delicious, the owners are friendly and very welcoming and it's in an easy accessible location in okehampton. I can't wait to go back, trouble is I want to try everything!!

Feel lucky to live right near this lovely little cafe. Great menu with falafels , soups, cakes, fresh salads and daily specials . lovely tea selection too. The welcome is warm and friendly and expect to enjoy a chat with those sitting next to you or Becky the owner who will happily share her love and knowledge of all things food!

Excellent range of loose leaf teas and beautifully presented platters followed by home made cake. Not expensive and great service. A treat but at everyday prices. Great find. I shall be back for more delicious food.

Love Mooplehog! bright colourful healthy food served with a smile and a chat. The Spanish hot chocolate is chocolate heaven and highly recommended as are the falafels and mixed salads. All vegan food so great for everyone. Lovely cakes and wide range of specialist teas to choose from - all loose leaf and full of flavour. Well worth a stop-off if you are in Okehampton

A wonderful little cafe in Okehampton - just opened, making local folk, especially vegans, Very Happy Indeed! Beautifully presented fresh healthy main courses, followed by delicious decadents cakes or desserts. Rebecca - owner, cook, washer-upper! - always delightful too.

What an amazing little shop this is. Just popped in one day to visit ended up buying loads of little gifts. Just wish I had more free time, as I would come here and spend hours chatting to the lovely Rebecca and trying all her delicious vegan food that she offers. (not a vegan person but mooplehogs presentation and recipes make me want to try vegan recipes )

Oh my word what a lovely find. I absolutely love this cheerful little cafe with its great selection of fresh vegan food. Our lunch was delicious and excellently presented and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. This was the perfect place to spend our Sunday afternoon. We can’t wait to go back.

This tiny shop in Okehampton is a "Must" to visit. Very friendly owner who can tell you a story about ALL her stock. And if you are stuck for something to get for a present, just tell her the age the gender, what kind of things they like and she will point you into the right direction and you end up finding something you hadn't even seen! All very reasonably priced. It is a pure Aladdins Cave of quality goods, all either locally sourced or through ethically approved channels. It really is one of my favourite shops in Okehampton. Need to go in again very soon, but need to make sure I don't go overboard again. But hey! everyone loved their presents last time, so I may just go in and spend on myself this time :-)

Visited this place on way back from Cornwall , could have spent hours in here as there are so many beautiful things. I love the emphasis on local artists, bought lovely cards that were so unusual.Just step inside & enjoy the lovely atmosphere. A must visit !!

Beautiful shop with thousands of gifts, locally sourced. All very reasonable prices. Rebecca's ethics are amazing, wanting to give back to the community and add to the welfare of the area. Bought many small gifts for friends. Well worth a visit.

I visited Okehampton today and came across this little gem by sheer chance; and I'm so glad I did! When I first walked in, I was greeted by a very freindly shop assistant (who turned out to be the owner). I thought, "This is nice". A good range of cute, different and very fairly priced gifts and goodies. I bought some vanilla incense sticks, a cat-face pencil case and a hand made cushion. All for £20.What isn't obvious, or even evident, is that all the products in the shop are either locally sourced, or ethically sourced if not local. The shop owner searches for people who are at a disadvantage, around the world, who make the type of product she wants to sell, and buys from them. Some of the gifts were made by a family in Japan who were displaced. I took an immediate liking to this shop and I recommend you visit if you're in the area. Did I mention that the cushion I bought was hand made by local Okehampton residents living in sheltered housing due to the lack of work in Okehampton? The cushion is adorable, something of a style of its own; enough to compete with any of the big high Street brands!The shop owner is heavily involved in supporting the local community and is already coordinating events to help include the children from impoverished families in the local communities. She'll certainly help raise awareness in the community. Final thoughts: visit and buy some goodies. If you're only passing through Okehampton, or are just visiting the supermarkets, utilise your parking to the max; walk the 1 minute walk to this little gem!

On holiday and visited this town and saw a brightly coloured shop, straight away I wanted to explore more.Greeted by the owner with a beaming smile she explained where many of the items had been sourced from which made it so much more interesting than just someone not having a clue what they are selling.Great shop, full of fab items.

As soon as I walked in I was mesmerised.. What a fabulous lay out but mainly the perfect choice of hand made trinkets and things that make you go' aww, so cute '.. Spent way too much! Many thanks for the fun with the lady who runs it.. Quite wonderfully nuts!! Simply go.. You won't regret it.

It's a brilliant shop I absolutely loved everything in there I couldn't decided will have to take another trip back there at some point!

All visitors to Okehampton must visit this wonderfully quirky store. You certainly won't be disappointed 😀

You'll be hard pushed to be able to walk out of this shop empty handed! Beautiful gifts for all ages and for all price budgets :) Love it :)
