Terrace Cafe in Teignbridge

Drinks extremely expensive I paid £23 for a pint and a cider.

Refurb not an improvement. Confusing ordering system. Staff were not engaged. My tea was cold, and very overpriced for a shallow cup.

New look is an excuse for price gouging on already high prices. They should have been a bit more clear about the pizza not having cheese. Was quite easy to miss.

Long queue times. Then 30 minute wait more on pizza. Reasonable pizza but small for price

Lovely cafe with good choice of food, friendly staff and beautiful Thames river view. Shaya was very helpful in recommending food from menu. The food was delicious!

Amazing divine experience. Our steward Shaya is hospitable , courteous and majestic in his skills at making out Christmassy/ New year drinks … would recommend to all Experience the fun 🫡

Not great. Almond croissant was stale, staff could be more welcoming and the seating area was anything but cosy. Probably OK if you had a table with a river view.

Lovely to dri k s delicious IPA on the Riverside Terrace Bar of the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank on beautiful sunny evening, very near restaurants and street food. A great sport for meeting friends.

Real nice cafe. Fab views and atmosphere

Nice service, vegan roll should be in the cake section due to it being a sweet potato wrapped in pastry.

This cafe and members bar upstairs are terrible. Service ‘computer says no’ attitude. Members area very little food available despite the small food menu, most items unavailable. And even with members discount it’s expensive. Lots of other places for food and drink nearby. These 2 areas really let the Southbank Centre Festival Hall down badly.

Reasonable prices. fast and high-quality service!

Completely disorganised, no one knew where to queue to order or wait even though they had a ticketing system. More people taking orders that making the food and drinks. Waited ages for a decaf latte that was mostly foam and cold. They only had full fat milk. Will not be returning, ever.

Enjoyable space with views over the river . Can get very busy when there is a concert on. Good daytime meeting place. Café facing the river and bar on the other side facing inwards.

The location and environment, within the famous Southbank centre are just great. Nice ambiance. Great views. However, I was dismayed that the Cheese Ploughman's sandwich that we bought was perhpas the worst example of its kind that I have ever had the misfortune to consume. We chose Cheese Ploughmans because it is normally a safe bet, but on this occasion, absolutely terrible.

Very slow service. Tea was ridiculously hot. Hot chocolate was not.

Great location (very convenient with nice view) but suffers from poorly trained staff. I ordered a turmeric latte and they appear to have dumped in a full spoonful of turmeric powder, so it was powdery with un-dissolved spice, and the smell and flavour of turmeric powder was overwhelming. It was absolutely undrinkable, almost gag-inducing. Gaak!

Who is (or is not) managing this place - Gather & Gather?? It used to a great place when Co of Cooks managed the site. Needs strong professional take over with management that understand music and arts audience combined with Food and drink service

Perfecta vista de London bridge

Slow service, two coffee machines but only using one?? Eight!! Staff, two tills and still very slow.

Visited on remembrance Sunday. Charged for 3 coffees but only ordered two. Queried it and told I was being reimbursed for one but no, my statement shows a further charge. All in all over £11 for 2 drinks. Avoid at all costs.

Relieved to see that it’s not just me. This place used to be a really good café - albeit expensive. Now it’s just terrible and still expensive. Quality of food and drink is poor and the customer service is abysmal. It really does feel like another bit of the visible collapse of civilisation.

The very worst place ever. Poor staff. Bad staff Hot. Lucky there is not zero stars. Please go to another place. You will thanks me. Zero on all counts. No signs and no manager

I used to be a regular visitor to the Festival Hall and it’s cafe pre pandemic and went fo a coffee at this cafe yesterday. I was really disappointed in the attitude- I decided to have one of the special offer coffee with a pastry deals which ended at midday. When I asked for it about 12.13 I was told that “the deal had finished” as it was past 12. The manager was rude and blunt and when I pointed out that the notices as still up for it after 12 she said it had “finished” I found this really rude and unhelpful. Please be kinder to your customers in this era when we are probably facing a recession soon and people have been struggling.

We met friends here for drinks and it seems a lovely place ticked away inside an intriguing location. There is a small children's play area, art on the walls, friendly and efficient table service - plus a good menu of drinks and food. We only tried the drinks, but they seem to do a nice cup of tea, though I'd advise anyone to ask for individual tea pots because you don't seem to get two cups each out of the 'pots for two'. It seems a great place for families and anyone visiting the Guild of Craftsmen, but my only complaint was that it was rather noisy for any conversation.Overall it was very pleasant and somewhere I'd like to try again, if only to see what the food is like, but I imagine in the summer it gets far too busy!

Lovely little cafe with a well priced menu which include gluten free and vegan option. Well worth a visit

Unacceptable using only paper plates and cups for eating & drinking here options too.

Food choice limited but quality was not. Service was friendly and polite but slow because of the busyness.

Frustratingly slow service. Ordered a cappuccino which took about 5 mins to make and didn’t even have a coffee shot in it and had to take it back. Replacement took about 10 mins to make. Very chaotic and some staff very unhelpful and not friendly.

Fine simple food, good taste and Nice service

We always look forward to visiting the Craft Centre and cafe when we visit the area. Good lunches and coffeeRather disappointed with the waitress's wiping of the table - she appeared to resent being asked and then only half wiped it! Surely a key part of hospitality

Passive aggressive rude young woman 'serving'. Don't expect any pleasantries, she's doing you a massive favour letting you buy over priced dreary food.

We called into the cafe before looking around the gallery downstairs. The cafe was quiet and relaxed on our midweek visit. The coffee was good, my partner enjoyed her huge slice of cake, and my gluten free cheese scone was very good.

Consistently terrible food and service. Your coffee order is often lost. The millet broccoli and squash dish had raw millet, way overcooked, half rotted broccoli and over spiced damp nuts. Just terrible.

Lugar acogedor para pasar un rato con los amigos pero la comida y el servicio no es tan excepcional

The food is generally good, but the portions keep shrinking. Twice now I've had a main course that looks like something off a child's menu. First time, really apologetic staff, and a sensible size salad accompaniment turned up. Thought it was a one off....But went again today, and the half stuffed pepper turned up with a slice of garlic bread a few leaves and a single slice of tomato. Staff most dismissive, so won't be going again, which is a shame...

If you're looking for a cafe to sit and work at while looking over the Thames, this is the place. Simple takeaway food, a lot of tables and wifi. Perfect.

Great cafe, more food choices on market stalls around the back of the Center

We visit Bovey Tracey 3 or 4 times a year and don’t like to miss a chance to visit the Guild, and a visit to the Guild is not the same without a trip upstairs to the Terrace for refreshment. Good coffee and a limited but tasty selection of cakes and biscuits. They also do meals but they tend to the vegetarian/wholemeal type dishes which are not really my taste, excellent though they are.One of the excellent features is that it is wheelchair accessible as there is a disabled lift and level access to the shop/gallery below.

I have been here several times as it is near home. The service, food,drinks etc are wonderful.. The mill exhibition is amazing, all exhibits by craftspeople. Expensive, of course, but worth looking at.

Spacious and excellent to have a meeting.

Expensive arts centre cafe. Indistinguishable from any museum or theatre cafe in the world. Service was fast, but prices high and only justified by location.

Good place for a light and simple meal.

An overpriced cafe which feels a bit like a school canteen, but it's a decent enough place to have a quick drink in while you wait for friends. Very little alcohol is served at this bar, but the well-stocked Central Bar is just behind it, and you can bring those drinks through.

Spent a very cold winters day browsing for Christmas cards and other artefacts for Christmas presents. Obtained some very beautiful and unique cards but found some of the craftwork and artwork too pricey for our pocket, then the quality and standard was very high. As to these cafe upstairs, they offer healthy food at a sensible price, albeit their service when busy can be a tad slow. Definitely worth visiting if your in town.

Delicious lunch. Soup with amazing freshly baked bread and a great chicken salad washed down with excellent coffee and served up with good humour and kindness.

Enjoyed 2 lunches here, would recommend without hesitation to any Coeliacs. Tables are upstairs in the gallery, staff helpful and friendly but also knowledgeable about the gluten free menu. What impressed me was that all the food is home made and something different from the norm. I tried soup and cheese scones and the sandwiches were also tasty.

Called here whilst in the town for the day. Plenty of things to see and do. They have jewellery shops, china and glass plus a few clothes. If on holiday lots of lovely things to buy for presents to take home. Upstairs a nice restaurant which l didn't use on this occasion, with daily specials. A lift up to the upper floor plus nice clean loo's. It will keep you busy for a few hours. Right by the river with nice views. Free Wi Fi. Plenty of parking nearby. Being summer they have a beautiful display of flowers all through the town.

Had spent a pleasant hour or so in Stover country park and needed some refreshments. Seemed the easiest place to head for. Good decision - really lovely cake, quiet and restful ambience. My peppermint tea was 'proper ' tea, not some dusty old teabag.

We called in for tea and cakes whilst visiting Bovey Tracey. It is situated in a lovely old Mill housing a variety of artisan craft shops. The choice and quality of their cakes is excellent. The outside terrace is lovely on a sunny day. Very friendly staff. A great place for tea on a sunny day.

I crossed the river from Embankment. I was feeling sensitive and Agne called me. It was windy so I looked for a cuppa and a warm place. I had my English Breakfast with milk and I thought 'I need this all the times that I feel down'. The views aren't great but good enough for 'chill, chat and cheap.'

Encontramos el café por defecto, dando vueltas alrededor de las galerías. Fue inicialmente difícil de acceder. Lo vi desde abajo, pero no pude encontrar las escaleras. Las escaleras son para uso por lógica personal. Una vez dirigida por un personal servicial, encontramos dos asientos en el exterior. Fue un día muy caliente, decidí sentarme al aire libre. Un pequeño café, a unos 4 mesas fuera y 12 en el interior. Pedimos dos lattes, 2 libras. 50 cada uno. Servicio rápido. Cafés encantadores. Bonitas vistas desde la terraza.

Nice lunch time menu, I had a nice mix of vegan salads. Also had some vegan and gluten free cakes on offer. Roof terrace is very nice with plenty of shade.

Yo solía hacer un punto de visita cuando trabajan en la zona desde hace algunos años. Nuestra reciente visita confirmó que todavía es un lugar agradable para tomar un almuerzo ligero y café.

We just stopped for a coffee and a biscuit. Both were very pleasant. There is a good quality wifi which is also an advantage.We will definitely come back

Me encantó la variedad de arte diferentes, estilos y medios en pantalla - incluso para un artista no me encantó!

This used to be a good place to eat while at the guild. Now however I find they just aren't so good at all. Quality produce I'm sure, but for my taste too many "veggie" type salads on plate. Also when having a pork & apple burger my husband found the bread just disintegrated, I'm sure a good quality bread, but no matter how good the bread it cannot hold the burger without falling to bits. Also, the prices are quite expensive, for what they last charged us for 2 (very small) bottles of coke, £2.25 each, a sandwich and the burger option was somewhere around £25. For just £10 more we each had a roast dinner and dessert & 2 cokes,

Good for meeting up in a central area in London

We popped in here for Lucy whilst enjoying the nearby cycle path between Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey. What a lovely menu with plenty of choice. The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for a Sunday afternoon- great service and food. We certainly were not disappointed.

We visited as a large family group, we were heading for the Edgemoor Hotel but fortunately it was closed for a wedding which meant a short detour to the cafe/gallery. Lots of interesting things to look at or buy if you're minded.Cafe has a simple layout and it is easy to join tables for large groups. Good quality food. We were a table of 7 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, very generous portions. I'm partial to a cream tea and am a regular visitor to Devon and can in all honesty say this was the best scone I've ever had. You can tell they are baked daily. So good that I also had to try a cheese one. If you want a quaint tea room this isn't it, but I seriously doubt you'd find a better scone anywhere!

As always in cafes tody the sevice and staff atr great. Nice menu selling the norm but with very good looking main dishes

Whilst staying with family near Exeter, my mum wanted to experience an authentic Devonshire cream tea.The Terrace Cafe is located within the Devon Guild of Craftsmen so you have to wander through the art displays/exhibitions to get there.I don't remember the menu very well - we were only ever going to order 3 cream teas! I do seem to recall a range of sandwiches and soups on offer though.The staff were pleasant and brought over our cream teas not long after ordering.The food itself was lovely, freshly baked proper scones with two large pots of cream and jam.I could've eaten another one quite easily, and mum seemed very happy with her very first Devonshire cream tea.

Slow service but when the food eventually came ( it wasn't busy ) it was really good and imaginative , I had the roasted veg with hummus and a sweet chilli sauce . Which was why it was such a shock for the espresso coffee to be so foul ; I live in France and have spent a lot of time in Italy so I do know the variations of espesso but this was weird , in fact it was so bad that we wondered if it was some sort of cleaning fluid for the machine. It was the smallest espesso I've ever seen , at a guess 20-30 ml , it was luke warm and nasty , we complained and got another but it was just the same, we were told rather patronisingly that "some people don't realise how strong this type of coffee is " . What a disappointment . My advice , eat there by all means but avoid ordering an espesso

Expensive, but the food is good when it eventually comes. The staff however are slow and rude, and way up their own backsides, and certain meals are only served at certain times which is a really strange arrangement in this day and age. A pity when you consider its location. Needs a good kick up the backside.

This is an interesting place to eat as you reach it via an art gallery and shop. I was with two family members so discouraged browsing on the way to the café. We did our browsing after we'd eaten!The menu isn't particularly large but the food is good and the cakes and scones baked on site. Service was good and staff were helpful and friendly. I'd definitely visit here again.

We had a mid-week lunch at the Terrace Cafe. The venue is great; a nice airy room opening onto a nice terrace in an old mill right on the river bank. The mill also houses a craft centre and art space.We enjoyed the food and were impressed with the imaginative menu. The staff are friendly and helpful too. We'll most definitely be returning.

Lovely spacious cafe, serving excellent food. There's a roof terrace with huge parasols, as well as a courtyard where dogs are welcome. A pork and apple burger came in thick focaccia with plenty of onions, and interesting fresh salads. The cream tea was perfect - a giant lop-sided scone, freshly baked on site, with oodles of jam and cream. They even had my favorite lapsang souchong tea! The staff were cheerful and helpful. This place is worth a visit, quite apart from the beautiful craft downstairs!

The entrance is through an art gallery and shop so by the time you get to the eating part, you're ready for something a little out of the usual run of things. Food is full of flavour without being inedibly adventurous. Good place for relaxation and reflection.

Me and my girlfriend have been to the cafe twice and both times the food was incredible.Both times one of us had the Pork burger and both times it was amazing, just the right level of fat for a burger, it wasn't dry and was full of flavour, the accompanying salad was also fresh and had varying flavours which were lovely.This time we also had the Cream Tea for 2 which for £6.00 is reasonable value especially when the scones themselves were huge, soft and perfectly baked. Im hoping the jam was home-made too as that also was delicious. The cafe itself had wonderfully helpful staff who were bubbly and made the meal even better. Give that we had just cycled from Dawlish it was lovely to be greeted with a smile and happy atmosphere.All in all, great food,lovely staff, reasonable price and we will definitely be returning again.

Terrace Cafe, Bovey Tracey is the 'eating' part of the Devon Guild Of Craftsmen showroom in Bovey Tracey.The upstairs cafe is a light and airy place, lively without being raucous. There is an outside terrace area for summer use.At lunch they offer a range of on-site prepared mains using interesting ingredients eg crab tart, etc etc, as well as thick cut sandwiches, cakes, tray bakes and the like.Our favoured selection, as partaken of this past weekend, is their 'soupwich' - a hearty bowl of soup, sweet potato and carrot most recently, with a thick-cut sandwich, in this case a very generously filled sharp cheddar cheese. This put us on well for a wander around Bovey T itself.We use this place regularly when looking for a light lunch out.

I visited the cafe with my friend for a spot of lunch. We both chose the soup, I had roasted sweet potato with cajon spices, this came with a huge hunk of granary bread, my friend had rosemary, courgette and herb soup, both were lovely and perfect for the chilly day outside. Both of our soups, and a tea and coffee came to £13, which I think is reasonable, I would defiantly return. It did get busy over the lunch period so I would go early (we arrived at 12.30) to make sure you get a seat.

Theoretically the smartest place in the town for a relaxing drink and snack. Above the well known Devon Guild of Craftsmen with airy and moderately tasteful decor this is nonetheless a disappointing experience. Service isn't great, the food is very pricey and not that unusual or tasty. Tea shops and healthy snack places are popping up all over and this one isn't amongst the best. Add that to the increasingly commercial and not so friendly or helpful gallery/shop downstairs and you begin to feel that the Devon Guild is not such an obvious option and needs a good shake up. This used for two or three decades to be a cool venue.
