Romany Jones Cafe in Teignbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Another Devon gem just off the main drag. We have often driven passed and eventually pulled over today. A wonderfully rickety and unpretentious "greasy spoon" popular with local workmen. Great coffee and excellent sandwiches, generously filled in the freshest bread. Nice chat with the guy running this place all on his own. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Fantastic breakfast, the only negative is the change in sausages. Use to be really nice sausages, now cheap tasteless ones.

Always a fantastic breakfast love coming here for one wish we had a great cafe like this at home excellent staff too

The cafe advertises on its website and on noticeboards outside the restaurant that it is open 7am to 2pm, 7 days a week. Wel I went there for breakfast at 09:30 this morning on Weds 3rd August and it was dark, shuttered, locked up and unmanned. Big signs in the carpark with opning times but a big metal bar across the door with a huge padlock. No signs in the window to say 'Sorry closed today' or similar. Just a complete Marie Celeste of a Cafe. Not really the way to treat customers. I went 5 or 6 miles out of my way for breakfast here and the journey was a waste of time. Won't make the same mistake again!

This is a greasy spoon type place and friendly with it (apart from the owner, who's too much of a bread head to have real laughter/fun with). The food is good for this type of establishment but the sausages are of a really cheap variety and spoil a good meal...!!!! Cheers Rich

I have not been here for a few years and so certainly wasn’t disappointed at my spontaneous visit. Sat outside for the first time in glorious sunny weather and had the small breakfast. Really lovely and just the right portion size for me. Simply brilliant and open until 1400h so not just for breakfast!

Been driving past this place for a number of years and for one reason or another not been in. The decor may need some tlc, but the staff and food were both on point. Served quickly and fresh, can't wait to go back and have a full English!! It would also be good to have the farm shop behind, providing some of the produce: eggs, meat etc

Came with friends, who highly recommended the place. Really liked the simplicity and the atmosphere of the place, loved the creaky and narrow door! Very friendly and helpful welcoming staff, and as for food-it was great, well cooked and delicious. Would most definitely come back

we visited for a breakfast , the breakfast was good value for money and tasty with big portions. the only criticism is the green tea is in a cup where the tea is in a big mug apple juice, is poor value for money as it cost £1.70 for a small glass, when they buy a supermarket own brand at about £1 per bottle and they would get about 3 glasses out of it.

We're in construction, it was quick enough and nice enough and more than enough, thank you, very very good 👍

We arrived with a family of 2 adults and 4 children and they were very welcoming and accommodating. They do a fantastic trade and people were coming and going all the time which speaks volumes about this place. Great people, fantastic food and a unique setting. Would highly reccommend

Excellent breakfast we love going there everytime we come on holiday all freshly cooked excellent portions service fabulous thank you wish we had a cafe like your one in wales

We visited here this morning before heading off into the Paignton area. Quick, hot, tasty and friendly service ! A good, proper cafe breakfast and a great chat with the owner who was really helpful with travel tips for the area. A good bloke. Thank you 👍

we visited today for a breakfast. it came very quick and was tasty and hot. it was excellent value for money. felt they were good with current situation we are in

We were lucky enough to get a table inside on a very cold wet morning having driven down to Romany Jones after reading excellent reviews online. Lovely breakfast made with fresh good quality ingredients. Good service, great value for money. A lovely unusual place to eat, definitely not your typical roadside cafe.

The perfect breakfast, fantastic value for money and great service. The food is cooked to order and piping hot can't wait to go back.

Great big breakfast..too much for me to finish ..which aint a bad thing. Great big wedge of toast . Reasonable price.. All nicely cooked

Great little spot for breakfast. Food was tasty and great value for money. The one negative was parking, but that was probably due to me being grumpy because I wanted food

Over the years I have been to the Cafe & I must say i have never been disapointed BUT New owners I went & had the Mega Breakfast, Uneatable Bacon must have been lyeing in a bucket of salt for years, sauages raw in the centre, Beans cold I had to leave must of the food, The two very over weight men behind the counter just didnt give a monkeys I would not recommend any one to go there.

Very surprised by the uncleanliness, needs a deep clean from top to bottom. This includes menus, condiment holders, dado rail and the floor. Cutlery was very cheap and you had you search for clean items. Condiments were sparse and scattered. Chefs whites needed a good clean. Quality of food was not great, well over cooked eggs, hard bacon, inedible mushrooms, cheap beans, and tasteless sausage. So glad we only opted for a small breakfast. However the best toast I have ever tasted!!!

If you are going to treat yourself or your loved one to a stress free and delicious Sunday full English then this is THE place to go!! Options to suit, never a problem, three sausages, three bacon, beans, mushrooms and chips. Perfect! Relaxed and friendly and a full plate, I suggest a latte to boot! Go on, treat yourself!

I love eating here and as it is not far from where I live it is great to have it close by.Went with my Parents, Older Sister, Niece and Nephew for a 50th Birthday Weekend Breakfast before they left to go home.I had the Big Vegetarian Breakfast there was plenty of it and piping hot as it cooked to order. Love the toast you get with it nice and big just right for a sandwich or on its own.The atmosphere was lovely and the gent that cooked the meals was really friendly and helpful as they always are.There is lots to choose from on the menu so it is good for meat eaters and veggies alike. You can have a small breakfast or if you can manage it a big one keeps you going till lunch that is for sure and a great way to start a long journey on.Always go here when I can either on my own or with the family. I hope they will start their restaurant there soon.

Popped in for breakfast before a long journey. Good service, fast delivery, fresh cooked and very tasty. Ordered extra items with no problem and veey reasonable. Will go again and again....

Such a quirky cafe and friendly staff. The full English was great value and huge portions of everything! fried potatoes, tomatoes and beans and black pudding, its not often these days you get 3 pieces of bacon and sausages, and you could tell the bacon and eggs were good quality and cooked freshly. My poached eggs were perfectly cooked which is also a rarity these days and I had 3 eggs without even asking. Served with good quality buttered toast and a mug of hot tea. Sat outside in the sunshine and looked over at the rolling hills and fields. Lovely jubbly.

We have visited a few times and all occasions we have had a lovely breakfast my friend especially likes the saugages ( which she's very fussy with normally.) The only down point was the cutlery had to go through them but that might be me to fussy on dirty forks otherwise as I said very nice breakfast staff are very polite thank you.

5* service, I came with my family 2 adults and 3 kids, chap cooking the food helped as I have allergy and adapted foods to suit. Service really polite and kind. Food tasted amazing. Definitely be returning.

Good breakfast worthy of curing any hangover. Cute setting although could do with a bit of a clean. Not a fan of the basil tomatoes but love the rest of the breakfast & good coffee! Pop in every few months & never disappointed.

Had a lovely breakfast at romany Jones, all cooked beautifully, service with a friendly smile,would go back again ,all fresh ,nice cup of tea x highly recommended

Best breakfast for miles. Always cooked to perfection and brilliant prices. Very clean place and always very busy. Can’t believe the recent reviews. Must be a different cafe trying to hinder the success of RJs. My friends and i come here 3 or 4 times a week and have never had a bad meal and we have been through the whole menu, a few times lol. Lovely coffee machine as well. Very polite staff who never keep us hanging around (as we are busy people). The chef always pops over as he has got to know us now , lovely bloke , very polite , i think his name is Mark. Keep up the good work and see you soon.

I’ve never in my life been so disgusted at what I’ve witnessed today.

What a grubby little greasy spoon.

Found the exterior needing a lick of fresh paint, no Romany would ever allow their caravan lookso run down. The inside was reasonably clezn, although a little tired looking. We were the onlly customers, the young lady greeted us politely, took our order when the Chef,turned around the state of his kitchen wear wasdisgusting. There was more crease on his whites and I use the word metaphorically, than must have been in the FRYER! Having said that the food was cooked correctly and looked okay. I had jacket potato and side salad. The salad was plentiful but ...... the sliced cucumber had black mouldy spots and the iceberg lettuce wasbrown and bruised on the ends where it was not trimmed before cutting again. The cost was very reasonable, and I understand that this is a road side cafe, but please Romany Jones clean up your act, and I mean that literally! O

If you like cheap produce and paying premium Price for this tat then this place is for you. One sandwich nearly cost £5!!! And it’s not the best cheap deep fried tat.

The best place for a decent cooked breakfast with the old uncut chunky bread slices, doorsteps as we used to call them. Nice people, choice of eating inside or outside depending on the weather. They do lunch too and open till 2pm

Popped in here saturday on our way out for late breakfast/brunch, the cooked breakfast we had was a Big Breakfast all freshly cooked, lovely fresh bread, not at all greasy. Filled us up for the entire day. Would recommend and definitely go back.

Went to romany Jones for first cooked breakfast in about 3yrs. Don't know if it's new owners but the tables needed cleaning, the floors needed sweeping and washing and the walls, especially the dado rails needed a deep clean. That's the guest things I noticed before a wonderfully short wait for my food. The food was good but bacon a little dry, don't know if bacon was pre cooked earlier and kept warm. Would go again if the place was given a deep clean

Only live 10 minutes away from Romany Jones Cafe ,but it's my first visit here but it won't be my last. 3 of us had a small breakfast, 2 with toast and 1 with fried bread. 1 had scrambled egg on toast and the other one in our group had a large breakfast. All the breakfasts were cooked to perfection. The scrambled eggs were just right. The buttered toast was nice doorstop toast. The breakfast came with a good mug of tea. They were very busy and it seemed as one table empty it was filled.

food was cafe style .the building has good seating area's inside & outside , parking at the front of the building for about 5 cars . if you are working in the area its a good clean spot to get some food .

Unassuming place that's a long standing landmark serving a fantastic fry up at a price that makes it grrat value for money. They even do a loyalty scheme....!

"The best bacon sandwich I've had in my life" my 9yr old daughter said (she has had quite a few!). Love the fact that you can add your fav things to a small (quite sizeable) breakfast. Gorgeous great doorstopper slabs of buttered toast too! Overall fabulous.

Never disappointed when we pop in always high standard of food friendly staff and very helpful always leave with a full belly and smiles on faces

Popped in here today for late breakfast/brunch. when passing, the cooked breakfast we all had was excellent, full breakfast was huge, small breakfasts were not small, all freshly cooked, lovely toast, not at all greasy and they even do a vegetarian breakfast. When we are passing again will return.

Quaint Old Romany Caravan Café with car park The food is Freshly cooked - not greasy, varied menu, good prices value for money and friendly staff -

Came here Sunday 17th December for a family breakfast before they all had to leave to go home. There were nine of us altogether so we gave the owner plenty of notice to what time we would be there.

Absolutely delish fry up, food and service 10/10, Just needs a lick of paint to spruce up a little..

Found this place purely by chance, on our way home from a lovely holiday in Devon. With a 250 mile journey in front of us we wanted a substantial breakfast in the Grandchildren, rather than the fast. Food rubbish they normally have.

I come here often, and have even braved it with the fussy little ones. The staff are very friendly and helpful and catered for the whole family.

On our way home from holiday we'd decided to get some miles under our belt hoping to miss the jams then stop for breakfast this was how we came upon Romany Jones.

Best breakfast around here, Would be been a 5 if they upped the quality of the sausages! Plenty of choice

Very pleasant staff who always produce excellent food cooked to order (but you don't have to wait long) Good value for money. Daily papers available for customers and plenty of parking. Slightly cut off by the new road but well signed and easy to get to.

Delicious breakfast, plenty of choice on the menu for our picky boys!! Staff very friendly and welcoming! Great service, lovely fresh food, especially the fresh bread toast and the chocolate milkshake!

If you've not stopped at the Romany Jones cafe on your way to Torquay, give it a try the next time you're in the area. Don't be put off by the outside cause what you get from inside makes it worth while. The staff are always very helpful and welcoming, the breakfasts they serve are delicious with proper slices of bread and real melted butter. When you've been there once you'll want to go back.

Have visited this little cafe for years and the quality of food and service is always on point! Can't wait for the new eating area to be opened looks like it will be lovely.

Excellent service and good quality, tasty food and very reasonable prices. Be careful if you order a 'full' English breakfast as that's the LARGE version.......3 of everything! A 'big' breakfast is the usual 2-of-everything size.

Well....driving up we saw a red, gypsy like caravan nestled in the side of the hill surrounded by brush and hills. We were hungry so we reluctantly continued on,and when we walked in, discovered a very tidy dining area. Ordered the Big Breakfast.....and wow! What a meal! It was a great English breakfast. Delicious!!! Never would find a breakfast like this in the States. The toast was thick slices of brown bread with melted butter...and plenty of it. I ate it all. Great coffee. The people working there were very nice. Very good service. It was a wonder meal! I love out of the way, unique places. This is one of them.

Didn't have to wait long for our breakfast and was lovely .. nice mug of tea just the way we like it ..

The place is situated in a lay by, with parking. It is very charicterfull and full of passing charicters with interesting stories and Banter. The food includes fry ups, and many other choices, and the staff themselves are charicters It is quite quirky, and not your typical 'greasy spoon' cafe...

quirky little place full of atmosphere, cosy, great staff , the best breakfast ever! honestly! can't recommend it enough.

Saw a sign on the new bypass for cafe/take away and drove down to the old quarry to see non other then an old romany railway wagon! Plenty of parking out the front - toilet facilities and friendly staff! Cheap and cheerful but good selection of choices - card machine available too! Good stop off. Big thanks to Mark and Carl

We visit Romany Jones once or twice a month. Nowhere else locally can beat their breakfasts. The decor may be a little tired but we go for the food which has always been good. The toast is fantastic and the food cooked fresh to order - even when we've turned up close to their closing time.

Visited this cafe as a pit stop on a sunday morning cycle ride. The bacon melted in your mouth (yes it is possible) the best bacon I've tasted and eaten anywhere except home. Mixture of people also eating there. Friendly efficient staff in a clean cafe - housed in a converted extended genuine romany caravan with several outside tables for the better weather! Parking right outside. Varied menu of several breakfasts and lunches including lasagne. Wonderful thick sliced soft bloomer bread.

Great service, good prices and always a delightful breakfast every time I visit. The toast is absolutely amazing, and the coffee is good value and tastes great. A hidden gem, which is surprisingly convenient to stop off at and start your day right with a proper breakfast

Had a lovely breakfast here today. Well worth a visit . Clean friendly and to top it great food . Free wifi easy parking

The food is consistently good and the service is always quick and friendly. Whenever we pop in it's always the same great experience. A varied menu at extremely reasonable prices. I hope this terrific cafe continues to flourish. Check it out if you are passing, you won't be dissapointed.

Well what can I say but never disappoints amazing food great and friendly staff always smiling nothing is ever to much there aim is to please and they have never failed thanks to you all at Romany Jones.

Have been visiting Romany jones for many years and never been disappointed except when I've turned up too late. The staff are friendly and even remember MLW' s unfortunate dairy free diet. We usually get a large breakfast and a bacon butty with black pudding (two slices - other cafes take note, one is not enough), then we Jack Spratt it into two good sized brekkies with yolk forMLW and white and sausages for me, I am after all a growing boy. Two mugs of tea and a view across a valley unspoilt by the new bypass. The cafe also has plans to expand with new premises next door, but regulars will miss the slightly wonky railway carriages lashed together when it happens.

Great food for a cafe very popular with locals, full breakfast bacon sandwich or ham salad sandwich it doesn't matter what you prefer it will be tasty, open every day till 2-00pm but claws 1-00pm on Sundays. It's just of the new Torquay road onto the old road on left hand side but you need to look out for it as it behind a hill back off the road, well worth a visit if your hungry and you passing by.

We come here on occasion for a breakfast on our day off. Perfect every time. To anyone who hasn't been before it's well worth a visit!

Great place and location to have a breakfast with beautiful views. Very busy place and famous too. Service was good and had an enjoyable experience. Good for a change.

Take a detour off the new road to this place. Peaceful, great views. Happy people to serve you. Lovely burgers with toasted buns, 'real' cheese and onions. Great - even the plate was hot! Thanks guys. xx

Great breakfast here, open on a Sunday, really lovely staff, none more than a teenager but couldn't be more helpful, highly recommended.

Our favourite place for a cooked breakfast. Easy to get to, plenty of parking & outdoor seating for when the weather allows. We've been coming for years.

We were on an 'all day breakfast' hunt on a Sunday and came across this little gem! Exactly what we wanted! Really reasonable prices, a great selection and a very lovely bunch who work there! Thank you

Don't be put off by the outside appearance this place is five star in every way. Great food good service from very nice lady and gentlemen. Worth taking that twenty minute break before hitting the turmoil of Torbay. Can't recommend highly enough

Went for breakfast here on Tuesday after I had finished with an early appointment.

Been in a few times now, Food is always lovely, both cooks do a great job. Really friendly laid-back place to eat

Visited for 2 quick breakfast- tomatoes on both came out cold instead of being offered alternative options was just given 1 tomato each served in a ramekin dish then just told should have checked the tomatoes first!!

When my son passed through on his way home in Berkshire, he wanted a quick breakfast without troubling his Mum. So we went to this little place, which is very handy for us just down the road. Breakfast was excellent and friendly staff was most helpful. (No wonder why it is a popular place for 'truckies'!)

we stopped here because it looked such an interesting place. café is set in an 1800 showman's carriage set back from the road with parking. staff lovely, service great and food absolutely great. awesome value for money.
