Morrisons Cafe in South Hams

Truly dreadful...having to line up..three staff...hamburger overcooked, no onions, no vinegar, no butter ...sandwich bland... ham and cheese no butter. If it not for Alishia( spelling!!?) smiling, listened very patient...we would have walked out. The cafe needed a good clean.

Now as a Devonian I was aware that Totnes Morrisons could have just been an extension of the London yummy mummy brigade, hiding as felt hat wearing socialists whilst still raking in big bucks working for Shell or HSBC from home. I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, there are the slew of mum's with homeschooled kids at their feet who are angrily shouting that they just want a Cadbury's Fredo rather than a nature valley oat bar, the deluge of chuckle shoes and crocs, the felt, oh so much felt!! The vegan children where so pale you can see their hearts beating through their chests like a deep sea creature. But the cafe is a sanctuary for those wanting a slice of proper Devon, average age 75, just what I said want to be surrounded by, a menu that's reasonably priced and a standard coffee that doesn't mean I have to ask my ageing mother for a loan to buy. I had the veggie sausage roll and coffee deal for £4 my partner Mrs M had the full English, her eyes are always bigger than her stomach but will she listen, no. We sat looking out on to a sunny car park fuelled with bad parking, tye dye and 90s travellers, wafting patchouli through the automatic door entrance. The food was as expected. It filled a hole. Nice bread, sausages were tasty and coffee was how it should be circa 2000. This place is an oasis from the big city folk who have moved in and brought with them a sense of amazement at seeing a field for the first time ever, whilst still keeping their capitalist ideals of buying so much felt and hemp that those dying trades are flourishing once more. I praise Morrisons for its honesty, openness and "you get what's expected attitude" Best value brunch in Totnes by a country yes country, mile. Bravo.

Once you have braved the leap across the huge pot hole (canyon), you can shop in a moderately average supermarket and enjoy an average breakfast. Staff are lovely.

Poached eggs and avocado on toast for £5 - bargain. All day breakfast is a great bonus when visiting "Arnie" the badly repaired and previously infamous "Morrisons Pot Hole". Badly filled after less than one day at number 42 in Totnes "things to see", Arnie "I'll be back" Pothole is a jewel of a trip. A deep and spiritual experience.

Ordered the ultimate fish and chips and also the meat free sausage and mash. Both tasted fine, the mash especially was creamy, so the meals were extremely good value for money. The lattes we ordered were extremely poor and not worth the money, even though free refills were included! We mentioned to the staff that we were getting strong half cups (so not enough milk) delivered and their answer was to press the button again, stupid answer as that would have been an overflowing cup. We were not the only ones, lots of people around us were complaining and nothing was done about it. Poor customer service, poor coffees and hence the low scoring.
