Station House Hotel and Cafe Bar in South Hams

A night in the Station House while we visited relatives in the area. We had the Brent room for the first time, which had a bath and shower. Quiter than other rooms so less easy to hear the trains on the nearby mainline. Seems to be at the rear of the building. The room system works for us because it gives us the freedom to come and go as we like. My wife and her guests had a light lunch there, veg soup, which was very good.

What a find! Came here on a friday lunchtime..the cod and chips were cooked to perfection! Lovely staff bring everything to the table...such a good lslightly olde worlde feel of an england long ago..ill be back no doubt.

We waited over 40 minutes for lunch. The jacket potatoes were cold and solid (very undercooked), the chutney was missing from the curries, the poppadoms had been switched to onion bhajees, the sandwich was missing the coleslaw and the cutlery was dirty. I will certainly not be coming back.

What a treat this place is! We were served by Iona who was delightful and cheery and served a perfectly balanced decadent and indulgent slab of cake! I went for the special of the day which was the chicken salad and it was sublime! Brilliant atmosphere, a real cosy treat!

Friendly welcome. Warm atmosphere. Attentive staff. Good food. This quirky, gorgeous cafe bar is well worth an evening out. We loved it! It’s obviously popular with the locals, so book or arrive early!

Always use this cafe and never been disappointed until today . My breakfast sandwich was brought out with brown seeded bread when I ordered it on white .the man who brought it out never said a word and walked off bringing it back on white bread 5 mins later only for us to discover the bread was mouldy to which again he said nothing picked it up and took it away. On his return he gave me the sandwich with fresh bread without so much as an apology not a word. On this showing I will think twice about going back which is a shame as the usual staff that we have dealt with in the past have always been very attentive

Very welcoming dog friendly establishment that made excellent coffee and fabulous bacon, Brie and cranberry paninis. Comfy sofas and lots of atmosphere. We will be back.

Go here regularly- it’s great in every way. In the centre of the village. Lunches excellent too. Service excellent - oh and dogs are welcome too

Lovely old fashioned setting and a good choice of tasty dishes and cake. However, we consider the prices to be a little excessive and doubt we will return for food just perhaps, a coffee.

Went for a Sunday roast. We had beef (which melted in your mouth), stuffing,roast potatoes, snap peas,carrots, swede, parsnips, cabbage, French beans, Yorkshire pudding and beef gravy. Also had bread sauce. The meal was delicious. The staff were friendly. Would definatly go back and highly recommend a visit.

Not at all sure why we have only just discovered this place! The most amazing cheese and red onion paninis presented very differently alongside small pots of pickle; coleslaw and a side salad. More than enough for lunch. We also came the next day for hot chocolate and home-made carrot cake. Huge slices and delicious hot chocolate. I can see this becoming a regular place to meet up.

Excellent Sunday roast. One of the best plated roast I have in a long while. Highly recommended,a gem of place on the edge of the moors.

The chicken curry was terrible - the worst my mother in law had ever had. It was watery, flavourless, hardly had any chicken in it. Such a disappointment.

Came here with a cycling group and had a ploughman's and banana milkshake made by Trevor in the kitchen. Milkshake had bananas in it, on top with the cream and a wafer - may have had ice-cream also, it was really cold and the best milkshake I've ever had. Came back again with another group and had the milkshake again but it just wasn't a patch on the previous (no biscuit, no bananas, not cold) - when I mentioned this was not what I was expecting - was told different kitchen staff make it in different ways. Will check who's in the kitchen if I come again.

Been here several times now since January 2023, mostly for their fun quiz night that runs fortnightly on Fridays. Also came here for Sunday lunch for Mother's Day. The food and atmosphere are fantastic, especially the Sunday roast: one of the best we've had with loads of freshly prepared, perfectltly cooked veg. I shook the hand of Trevor the cook. The quiz has become our new family fun night to look forward to. We've learnt to book a table to eat food because it can get very busy. My partner and daughter have chosen pizzas so far (freshly made dough and proper thick cut bacon if you order a meat variety). I've now had their lasagne (tasty, but maybe slightly dry) and their tuna melt panini. Richard, the manager, writes and reads the quiz in his own fun, quirky way with multiple silly hats for music bonus questions. He's got a penchant for Beatles questions. Everyone in the Station House, including customers, are friendly and considerate. The decor's really nice. The staff are brilliant. And it's dog friendly too

Went for lunch today. I ordered a homemade chicken curry which looked fine but when I started to eat I came across a whole cardamon pod with seeds. Thinking it was a one off I carried on with the meal and found 16 WHOLE CARDAMON PODS altogether in my meal. I spoke to the waitress who consulted with the chef, agreed that they should not have been there and asked me what I wanted. I asked for a refund on my meal but I was told they could not do that as the till as locked. The best they could offer was a slice of cake to take home. Not good enough.

This is one of the best roast lunches I've had for a long time. NOT WARMED UP. Came out pipping hot and lots of it. Definitely going back.

I can fully recommend the Sunday roast. Advisable to book but well worth it! Fresh vegetables, good portions, good value and good for vegetarians.

If you want the very best homemade everything from delicious cakes to savoury meals, this is your place. The café is just gorgeous - vintage china, beautifully set out tables, sofa areas and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are delightful and can't do enough to help. Probably our favourite café because it's just great and we've never been disappointed.

Ease into a comfy chair, draw breath, be at peace and catch up over pots of tea/coffee and delicious cakes. Inclusive and welcoming

Keep popping in for afternoon drinks and food, has improved loads. Friendly welcomes and good drinks, only downfall is they close at 5pm !

stopped for a light lunch and decided on the afternoon tea. Very clean and staff were very helpful, would recommend

Found this place whilst on holiday, they have a good menu with lots of choice. Friendly staff and the cakes were so nice!

Called in here for dinner one evening when staying in the area. Inside and outside space was limited due to Covid separation needs but luckily managed to find seating indoors when another party left. Young, enthusiastic staff but seemed inexperienced. Ordered pizzas but dough had run out ( 6.30 p.m.) so offered panini pizzas instead. These were good ( and perhaps should always be on the menu?). They stop serving food quite early so you could be caught out if you usually dine late. We enjoyed the experience but felt it will be better when staff have settled into their roles. (Need to re- think the placing of some outside tables in narrow sloping alley beside the building- doesn’t work...)

Really friendly and helpful cafe, with amazing food with many homemade delights to enjoy. The atmosphere is welcoming with indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are good and quality perfect. A must for everyone coming to South Brent or just travelling through. Well done we love it.

This is a great find in my view 😊 Love Fergul's pizza he cooked me this Tues evening, good size and tasty......delved into the Mediterranean, yummy! And only half price @ £4 with the government HMRC scheme, delish and a real bargain, also swilled down...

We (a small group of friends) spent a lovely evening here over a few glasses of Prosecco. A great atmosphere with friendly and welcoming staff.

This location used to be a pub which was closed down (allegedly by the Customs and Excise) in 2019. Revitalised by the new owners that are trying really hard to make this a success. Give it a go.
