The Copper Kettle in Teignbridge

Fabulous hosting breakfast amazing location great

Booked here day before mothers day, 8 of us. We got the time wrong for booking, the staff could not of been more understanding. Staff were attentive and helpful. Food was delicious...cottage pie and the lemon drizzle i had were lovely and all homemade. Will be visiting again very soon.

A truly pleasant & restful stay at this charming B & B. The accommodations are well appointed with everything you should need, the management could not be more helpful. While our stay was in the very early part of January 2024 & the outside temperatures were really cold but our room was really comfortable & we had a comfortable night. The Tea Rooms are on the ground floor & this is where we had our breakfast. My partner is very gluten allergic but she was very well looked after. Our first morning I had an excellent Full English & on the second morning I had scrambled egg on toast with bacon & the scrambled eggs were truly fabulous.

Visited for lunch only and really impressed by the savoury options, including two daily specials. Really well cooked and well flavoured. Was so impressed we had to stay to try dessert - apple pie, cooked and served exactly as I asked. Service was very quick and friendly. Will come back. On site parking was a bonus.

Just dropped in for a cream tea. We had the savoury option. The scone was very fresh and tasty with two portions of butter each a nice piece of cheddar cheese and a lovely pineapple and onion pickle. Enough tea for three cups. Service was good and we were made to feel welcome even with our very loud little grandson. The coffee was excellent. Seating well spaced out so did not feel crowded. All in all very good and not too expensive.

We only visited the cafe. It was lovely and clean, nicely decorated and the staff very friendly. We had cream teas, and I have to say the scones were probably the best we've ever had. Highly recommend The Copper Kettle

I have been meaning to visit this place for ages and I am so glad that I did - best bacon sarnie I have had in years. Lovely warm welcome, kind and attentive service and a great car park. Thank you very much - I will be back again for sure.

Lovely garden to enjoy afternoon tea or a light lunch. Small car park at rear.

Had a great all day breakfast at the Copper Kettle. Tasty, hot food with plenty to eat. We were do pleased we returned for takeaway cakes which were delicious. Friendly and efficient service.

Brilliant little cafe/tea room! If you're visiting Bovey Tracey or National Trust Parke this offers a great spot for lunch. We had the Quiche served with a generous portion of salad and coleslaw. The quality of the food was excellent.

We popped in here as we were passing through the area. Proper little gem. We got a window seat for two (overlooking the busy little road) but you get to see, bikers, campervans, doggies etc, so still plenty to see passing you by. We had cream teas, I had the savoury option, very nice. My partner had the cream and jam x two! And he thoroughly enjoyed them. We had a bit of free entertainment there too, the waitress (possibly the manager) was serving the table of four behind us and they obviously all knew her because the laughs and wind ups they had going on were hilarious. We were served by a young girl (possibly fairly new) and she was superb. Very thorough and friendly. Thank you for the great service and cream teas x

The best Sunday lunch we have had in Bovey Tracey. By far the best restaurant in the area. We went for Sunday lunch on Mothers day and it was fully booked. (we had booked) We were only interested in Sunday roast, and there was a choice of Beef or Turkey. we all had Beef and it was superb, plenty off it, tender and plenty of veg. The roast potatoes were outstanding. You might ask why so much detail! well we have had some pretty dreadful Sunday roasts in and around Bovey. The deserts were also outstanding and plenty of choice plus good size portions. Wine choice and quality was limited but very reasonably priced @ £19:50 bottle and it was ok and enjoyable. The staff, particularly the lady were outstanding, friendly and helpful. Would we go again? absolutely although we were visitors from far off Hampshire our friends were locals and surprisingly it was their first but definitely not their last visit.

Lovely place for a Cream Tea great food and service

Gorgeous food, lovely surroundings and friendly hosts. You won't be disappointed.

I love lunching here, especially when all my friends can join us. The hosting is just right, not invasive, but attentive, and good humoured. The food is always delicious and plentiful and the pricing is good. Highly recommend.

A cute little tea house with some great cream tea.

Popped in for lunch today. The food and service was excellent. Lemon meringue was amazing. Lovely log fire. Highly recommended. Very warm welcome.

Lovely place very friendly good food

Well found this quite by accident and glad we did.Warm cosy fire,immaculate tables and well looked after by Trevor.Food brill-try the Cottage Pie- and only a short wait.Not over priced and the only downside was the Tea which wasn't the best.However will return but have coffee next time!!

Came over on Sunday morning for a full English & Poached egg. The service was excellent, food was delicious and the coffee was superb. Been a few years ago and don't know why we haven't. We'll be back... Thank you

Great home made cakes and coffee. Very recommended

Quick snack eggs on toast, lovely coffee,delicious homemade roulade..

Excellent cream tea and friendly service. We'll be back 🙂

Great value and service. Their Garden is beautiful too!

Great welcome and really helpful from the moment we entered to the moment we left

Excellent all home cooked food desserts to die for

Recently visited on a family holiday The cream tea is a must Provided cooked food even though the kitchen had stopped serving meals

This is a little gem, very clean and beautiful decorated. Lovely owners, nice vegetarian breakfast. 👌

Really friendly, we sat outside as the weather was perfect and the garden is beautiful. The scones were delicious!

Stopped by here for a bite to eat on our last day of our holiday. The reviews tempted us to come, we had a light meal and a wonderful devonshire cream tea in the beautiful garden. My mum loved the garden.

Wonderful dining experience. Loved it.

Great cream tea ,scones very good, staff friendly and garden flowers wonderful will return

Only stayed one night but had a great night's sleep and a fantastic breakfast out shone the breakfasts we had in four star hotels later in trip

Friendly service, fairly decent breakfast. Definitely would visit again.

Tea and coffee very nice as we been driving back from trago mills recommend

An absolutely lovely venue with excellent food and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We popped in for lunch, quite risky on a Sunday, but with the lovely garden area we were easily accommodated. The staff were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit perfect. The food was wonderful; lovely flavours and nicely presented. Desserts were equally outstanding and such a good range. We decided to share a cream tea for dessert, this was also to a high standard with quality jam and lovely fresh clotted cream. I should also mention that service was very prompt, ideal when you have hungry children with you. This would be a great place to visit at any time, breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea! Highly recommended, I only wish I'd taken some photos to share too, well worth a visit.

Wonderful food and lovely staff.

Really friendly, on-site parking and a lovely little garden area. The latte was very watery, though.

What a lovely cosy cafe made very welcome and very nice food

2nd visit to this lovely place. Great welcome and fantastic food. Rooms very comfortable. After multiple visits, always fabulous food. Hosts are lovely

Really good home cooked meals and desserts, generous portions. Delicious moist fruit cake, cheese scones or fruit, breakfasts, lunches, Sunday Roast. Special Christmas dinners, won't disapoint. Trevor and Harry friendly hosts. Beautiful garden to sit in, with established fruit trees and cottage garden flowers and rose bushes.

Lovely people, lovely food, spotlessly clean. A step back in time. Stop by as soon as you can. Genuine home cooked food served up just as you would like it to be.

Traditional B&B / cafe with a homely atmosphere. We went for coffee at about 1030 on Saturday and they were busy serving breakfasts (which looked and smelt good). Despite being busy we didn't have to wait too long for good coffee and delicious cake. Tables feel a little close together. Staff were polite and professional and friendly.

Just had a lovely breakfast there! Old world charm and character service!

Felt very staff Our first visit in 19 years Great food and service

Lovely cream tea in a pretty garden.

Came here for breakfast with my son. We both had the full English, not only was it good value, it was one of the best I have ever had. Very friendly service, very clean and has a lovely quaint feel which I think is really lovely.

One of the best tea room s in bovey Tracey fantastic selection of cakes. sandwich s tea coffee meals really lovely place to go fantastic service too x check this place out being local its a must :)

Had lunch with friends before going for a walk at Parke. We ate outside, lovely garden, friendly service, vegans among us very happy with their food

What a great little place & people .I would highly recommend this little gem ,the full English breakfast was beautiful, the surroundings made for a very relaxed morning before our hike out on Dartmoor. Treat yourself, its worth it 👌

Very helpful staff, especially for a late check in. The decor was slightly outdated for us, however one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed! The breakfast included in the price was also very tasty. Thanks again for our stay!

Very good home cooked meals sweets to die for friendly service 😋

We stayed 3 nights at The Copper Kettle B&B, our room was just delightful. It was spacious, very clean, comfortable and we slept really well. There was plenty of storage/hanging space and we made good use of this. It’s nice to be able to actually unpack and not just live out of our suitcases:-) Breakfast is included , which was very tasty, there is plenty of choice and it was all delicious. There is also a lovely big garden to enjoy, although we didn’t use it because of the inclement weather. In summary, a lovely and clean B&B, excellent hosts, super breakfasts.. we will definitely recommend to all our friends and family and when we are next in the area will definitely stop here again. Final point, and an important one, it’s very easy to find and has plenty of safe,off road parking.

Wonderful to see you folks again. Fantastic full English, perfectly cooked and joyful friendly service as always & your fruit cake.......a-maz-ing. See you again soon. Sally and Denis 😋😋

First visit,lovely garden setting,excellent food and service will call again.

We visited at lunchtime. When we arrived I must admit I thought it looked cluttered and old fashioned but I did notice that it was spotlessly clean ( not a speck of dust on the ornaments and no sticky table mats!) so decided to stay. The couple running it were very friendly and helpful and paid attention to checking we scanned our app on arrival and wore masks at all times. I had the special of the day which was a quiche which was delicious and absolutely packed with veg, I also had chips which were freshly cooked, piping hot and lovely and crispy. My husband had sausage and chips and enjoyed his too. There was a nice garden to sit in but the weather wasn’t kind so we stayed inside. We felt the food was very good value and the service pleasant and if we are in the area again we would certainly pay a return visit.

Stopped off looking for breakfast before starting our journey home. Excellent two poached eggs bacon and beans on toast . Belly busting delicious. Would recommend a stop. Food was freshly cooked and hosts where very accommodating.

Excellent. Good food, fair price, great service.

Great hosts.great food. FAB Apple pie

Good food, fair prices, nice people.

Drove past and popped in on the off chance oh wow ,I had a roast and hubby had steak and kidney pud it was delicious followed by raspberry roulade and apple pie yum yum the portions were just right ,tasted homemade too .staff were lovely very polite and very welcoming and friendly ,think this may be a regular place of ours from now on.

Brilliant bacon and egg sandwich and pot of tea on ride about. The lunches look really good!

Had breakfast here today - it was delicious. The service was friendly and we felt very comfortable. Would recommend!

So friendly!! The tea room is delightful and food delicious. The room was perfect for us. Warm and very comfortable. In this crazy covid-19 world it felt safe and clean. Definitely staying again.

Great Friendly service , good food , nice coffee. Adhering properly to covid rules .

Four of us called in here for a lunch and a cream tea. The service was helpful and pleasant. The food had a 'home cooked' feel to it and the meals from the 'mains' were delicious and enjoyed by two of us. The scones, made on the premises, were to die for, soft tasty and no hard edges and no 'bicarb' after taste. The other two of us had one savoury 'tea' (cheese scone with cheese and pickle) between us and followed with a cream tea for pudding! A taste of a chocolate cake topped with a Bailey's flavoured icing was heavenly. Do try it out if you are ever in Bovey.

For good homemade food, very friendly host couldn't ask for better

My husband, myself and my mother are on holiday and stopped to have lunch at The Copper Kettle. The food was fabulous. My mother and I had Cottage pie, broccoli , carrots and peas. It was the best cottage pie both my mother and I have ever had. The veg was cooked to perfection. My husband has a steak and kidney pudding potatoes, carrots and broccoli. He said his food was as good as our food was. There was an array of delicious looking sweets on offer. The service was fantastic and there was nothing to fault. I would highly recommend anyone going there. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

The best cream tea we've ever had.

Amazing.Lovely food and nice outdoor seating

Good variety of delicious cakes and cream tea's

Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Owner very friendly and goes out of his way to make your visit a pleasurable experience.

Lovely cream tea in a beautiful, sheltered garden. Delicious scones, generous portion of cream and friendly, welcoming service.Spotlessly clean, watched the owner meticulously wipe down a neighbouring table and chair. Lots of room in the spacious garden and stunning plants and flowers.Low prices and nothing too much trouble.

Really delicious cream tea, decent portion size, lovely service. Loads of outdoor seating available as well as indoor. Great level of hygiene maintained.

food and drink (presentation) - 9.5/10 food and drink (taste) - 10/10 customer service - 10/10 cleanliness - 10/10 venue and location - 8.5/10 48/50

It’s a shame it’s not bigger because the food is great home cooking. Sunday’s are hard to get a table because they have their regulars. You won’t be disappointed if you manage to get a table. Summer should be better had they have outdoor seating. They even have a few rooms for b&b

Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and great food

Have breakfast here most weekends. Such a warm and friendly welcome and the breakfast has got to be the best around. Well worth a try

Very pleasant welcoming cafe with excellent menu and service

We stopped here on a sunny Sunday on the way back from Parke. The staff couldn't fit us into the restaurant due to busy Sunday lunches, but there was lot of seating outside. The garden is lovely, and the cream teas are great. The only thing I would say is that there isn't much space to park.

Having driven past the Copper kettle while passing through Bovey Tracey I decided to take my children in when we went camping nearby. The cake was fresh and well baked, and the hot food was cooked well and made to order. The owner was our waiter and he was friendly and knowledgeable. My son said "it's very fancy in here" and it definitely felt like a treat to me too.

Quaint teahouse and B+B on the edge of Dartmoor. Beautiful gardens and a cute dining room. The afternoon tea was perfect. Attentive and friendly service from the owners and staff.

Very quaint little coffee shop & resturant.

Very nice ploughmans lunch and dog friendly

Thank you Trevor and Harry for your very warm Hospitality when we stayed in April tried to contact you on m ssenger but it didn’t work sorry take care love from Lindy and Barry Powell Spain.xxx

Had a lovely break here for a quiet cuppa, toasted fruit loaf and a cream tea. We had had a particularly complex and brain aching meeting in Bovey Tracey and stopped off here before returning home. It was so lovely, a really warm welcome from the lovely gentleman and a super spot by the window to watch the world pass by. We will certainly return. Thank you.

Very nice tea room, great food and service.

Lovely food excellent service nothing too much trouble

Fantastic food. Wonderful friendly staff.

Popped in when passing thinking it was a little tea room and ended up having the most superb lunches from a really interesting menu and specials board. Our meals were cooked to perfection and exceptionally tasty. Portion size was perfect. Well heated on a windy day and spotlessly clean in the restaurant and the toilets, the latter is always determined whether I would return or not. Finally staff very polite courteous and attentive. Whole experience was a pleasure. Well done !!

The Copper Kettle seems to be a popular eatery for some older residents of the Bovey Tracey area, but I personally fail to appreciate the makeshift character or quaint allure of the place -It is always difficult for a small venue to properly embrace the cosy image of a delightful cafeteria without accidentally becoming overcrowded, and when the limited floor space makes you hyper-conscious of absolutely everyone who dares to approach the back of your chair, it's then that you realize that the place is just far too congested for it's own good. Unfortunately, this is an accurate picture of my expirence of the seating arrangements in this establishment: in fact the whole interior feels undersized and nervously compact, not to mention a little improvized.Much to my disappointment, the food did not live up to expectation. The Cauliflower on my plate tasted horribly plastic, and although the slices of beef and the large Yorkshire pudding were both generous helpings, their flavour can only be described as standard and unexceptional. A handful of chopped Carrots and Cabbage leaves proved a mutual addition to the plate, although I must confess that the roasted Potatoes were truely excellent, delivering a rich deep kick straight onto the tongue. Dessert consisted of a homemade Belgium chocolate Raspberry gateau, which was deliciously fruity, and unavoidably handsome to the eye.I observed that the staff were loquacious and friendly, and they delivered the freshly cooked hot meals to our table without any undue hesitation or flippant mannerism. Perhaps it was because of their diligence that everything appeared to be clean and organized, and that we were not left abandoned for any prolonged period of time, such as when we were waiting to order. Asides from the great customer service, highlights from my visit to The Copper kettle were few and far between: the food was mostly unsatisfying, and the dining room way too small. Despite it's ldeal location at the edge of Bovey Tracey, the building simply does not grapple for my attention in any fashion whenever I drive past, and I do not see myself wanting to visit again.

Loved this cafe / restaurant. Very friendly owners. They have their own car park too. If you are going for a special occasion its advisable to book. It's also a bed and breakfast and incidentally the cheese scones are fabulous

Excellent service, and quality breakfast. Will definitely be going here again.

Lovely. Good food.. friendly people.. Nice and clean. We're looking forward to going again

Very nice only had sandwich and coffee but staff very friendly

Thank you for a lovely stay - I will definitely return next time I'm in Bovey Tracey. And will make sure I get to try some of your delicious looking cakes ! The room was very comfortable , I felt well looked after, and I especially liked your beautiful garden.

Lovely place to go food and service very good

Fantastic fresh home-made scones, delicious thick cream and top notch jam in individual pots. We took visiting friends who wanted a "proper Devon cream tea" and they really enjoyed eating in the garden of this charming tearoom. Took a peep over at another table and the Afternoon Tea looked well worth coming back for soon.Lovely!

Simply the best cream teas ever!

We were looking forward to a Devon cream scone and sadly we were really disappointed, the scones were shop bought and cold and the jam was the cheap and awful. Sandwiches were fresh and tasty but we didn’t end up experiencing the cream tea we hoped for. The young lady waitressing was very sweet and efficient.
