The Fox Tor Cafe in West Devon

This cafe is a gem. Price was great full breakfast with a tea and a orange juice for under £10 was delicious. Great atmosphere with great staff thanks again 👍

An excellent child and dog friendly café. The Fox Tor, in Princetown, is at a good location for the start and end of walks.

Popped in whilst passing through only intended to have a coffee but had lunch as well. Really impressed, good fast service, lovely food, fresh and tasty.

Visited yesterday, my parents had the standard breakfasts which came with tea or coffee and juice and I had a ploughman’s and drink- all For just over £30. Great food, great staff, free parking for 3 hours … what is there not to love! Be back soon , thank you

Stopped by this afternoon and had the best cream tea that I've ever had. Spotlessly clean and welcoming staff. The food coming out of the kitchen for other tables also looked excellent.

The look of outside from the road is unappealing but do persevere. Free parking at the back where you enter and you will be pleased to find an unpretentious and pleasant café. Very good home cooked food at reasonable prices. Spotless loos.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Called in for cake and coffee,good idea!! Can't rate the rooms tho staff were great thanks

Absolutely amazing good breakfast after a night out on the moors

A nice little café. Homemade coffee and walnut cake was very nice. And the hot chocolate with all the trimmings was very nice too. Great service 👏

The venue was clean and welcoming and the tea and cake were really nice and not overpriced. Don’t be put off by the fact that the cafe is incredibly shabby on the outside.

Lovely cafe & great quality food,

Excellent full English breakfast after a night or two on the moors. I keep forgetting about the free car parking!

Great full English breakfast. Cute local place.

Always pleased with the quality of food here. I usually have the breakfast. Unfortunately I can't comment on accomodation as I only use the cafe.

Pleasant cafe, great location, serving good food with friendly staff.

I grow up here and am disappointed in the coffee. Every time I go to fox for I ask how hot the milk was and they can never answer me. If you’re going to sell coffee please get someone to teach your staff how to properly make it. You always burn the coffee it’s bitter and it’s been like this the last ten times I’ve been in. And at £4:50 ish for what you call a large coffee I want it to taste right.

Fox Tor Cafe is a must-visit location in the moorland town of Princetown. Very clean and very welcoming, it's a fantastic place for light bites, a coffee, or a full meal. The ploughman's lunches are excellent. Free parking out back (you MUST register inside) and lovely clean toilets.

As a family of 4 we always have a day up dartmoor when we hoildaying at torquay all I can say is the food is outstanding from fox tor cafe and is very reasonably priced ..best ploughman's lunch in Devon

Excellent range of home cooked foods. Menu available online. Parking at rear with video parking system free to customers, but remember to add your Reg. to the pad inside, or scan the barcode on the tables - the fine is ridiculous, but necessary.

As always, lunchtime refuelling stop.. awesome, food and brilliant staff 🙂

Lovely place, lovely staff and very reasonable prices. Dog friendly, free WiFi, private (free) parking behind cafe.

Love this little cafe in Princetown. Had a lovely Salcombe ice cream and cup of tea (with alternative oat milk available!) for a good price. I think most items from the menu are locally sourced. Service was quick and there was plenty of tables and parking with the new ANPR system (3 hours register inside). Nice to see they allow dogs inside to! Wheelchair accessible from the front entrance to!

Great value Full English with Tea or Coffee and a glass of Orange in the price. Its nice and clean with a friendly service and atmosphere. Car Park at the back but you have to register your cars reg in the cafe.

Very tasty cream tea with scones.

Just stopped for a coffee. Lovely staff. 😍 I got stung by a wasp. They were quick to help me with antiseptic wipes and cream.

Inside or outside great little cafe. Lovely tasty fresh local food and good coffee

I cannot recommend the Fox Tor Cafe enough. The cream tea was excellent and availability of gluten free scones was a big bonus. Very good service, staff were friendly, cafe clean. During my visit to the cafe I left my handbag, not realizing until later. The owner of the cafe was so helpful and returned it straight away, recorded delivery, with the contents complete and the bag well packed. Thank you so much for this fantastic service.

We had a chicken korma what was surprisingly amazing! The chicken was fresh, sauce is wonderful! Nice, tidy and clean place.

A lovely little spot. The food was 11/10, all home cooked and well worth the wait during a busy lunchtime

Located in the heart of Princetown this is a fantastic café popular with cyclists and walkers alike. Just opposite the Dartmoor visitors centre which is definetly worth a trip too. Breakfast is excellent and includes quality filter coffee too. Has a car park which you can stay up to 3 hours in but don't forget to enter your registration.

A wonderful place to stop for a cream tea and get it off the torrential rain on Dartmoor. Lovely atmosphere, nice staff, fair prices and dog friendly.

We ate a wonderful lunch at the Fox tor. The food was delicious made with local produce. The staff were friendly and accommodating. This is a dog friendly establishment

I'd been looking to coming here whilst visiting Devon. It was highly recommended for a gluten free cream tea. We made the trip out to find it closed early, 3:30 when the website says 4. There were plenty of people still there so we asked if we could just buy some scones to take away with us but were told no. 🥺 Extremely disappointed.

Excellent food and drink. They were very accommodating to a large group of us coming in.

Lovely ploughman’s lunch!!! Garden is lovely in the sun, family had cheese and regular scones and a bacon and egg sandwich. Was lovely food, great staff.

Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast and would highly recommend it 👌

We had 30 minutes to spare between the cafe opening and a bus we needed to catch for a hike and this lovely place fed us a brilliant full English vegan breakfast and prepared us delicious sandwiches with vegan cheese and pickle to take with us for the day. Absolute life savers as we had more or less run out of food by this point on our trip. Lovely friendly service, delicious food, great value and so happy to see great vegan options. Definitely pop in if you're in the area ✨

We spent a weekend exploring dartmoor on Mountain Bikes and kept coming back to the Foxtor cafe to Refuel, fast hearty food served by friendly staff. The garden is a real sun trap too. Queue outside at 9am tells its own story!!

Very courteous and great service. Enjoyed an overnight stay and was well looked after! Great food and attentive service. Will definitely return again soon and thankyou so much xxx

Wonderful cafè and such great hospitality. My partner & I initially met for lunch here and due to heavy rain we arranged to stay the night in the bunkhouse. We were given the best service and kind and considerate treatment. I will definitely return again and thankyou for delivering top service.

Stopped for brunch. Nice burger and all day breakfast.

Amazing cafe. Good food, reasonably priced and good service. Lots of outdoor seating for when the sun does appear

We stopped for a cream tea, like you do in Cornwall, but decided that we would prefer a savoury lunch. I was very happy with my choice. The service was fine but I felt like I was just next in the queue rather than being welcomed with a smile. The food was promptly served and obviously freshly cooked.

The service was great. Coffees and cake were excellent. A little on the pricey side. Bought takeaway sandwiches, which were nice and chunky but didn't have any salad or sauce or anything extra. A ham sandwich was just that ..ham and bread so made them a little dry. Good atmosphere though and seemed busy.

Taken here by a friend today, lovely setting . I had the all day breakfast which I really enjoyed. Hash brown, sausage, egg, mushrooms, bacon all cooked exactly as I like. Polite and helpful staff. Will definitely call again.

Great food & service, lovely place we alway try to eat at when visiting the local area

Stopped in for a cream tea after a long hike. Ordered a “ vegan “ cream tea for my mum and she was served cows milk and full fat butter. Scones were also stone cold in the middle, microwaved for sure. Thought the young waitresses of their age would be “ woke “ enough to know what vegan means. Guess not.

Great value for a cooked breakfast.

Why are we paying £50 for microwave food , Chilli con carne -zero Vegan burger-zero Vegan scones- served with Butter/yoghurt and jam 😂 Staff should spent less time On phone and clear/ clean the tables Please change if you want to be in business or go bankrupt Best of luck 👍🏻

Superb breakfasts... really great cafe

Lovely, popular cafe in the heart of Princeton. Great atmosphere, and well behaved dogs are welcome inside. If the sun is shining, the outside seating area is more than double the inside space, and perfectly sheltered. Car park to rear as well. The food we ordered was very nice, really fresh and hot. A return visit is definitely on the horizon.

A welcome break from a spate of gusty wet weather on the moor. Welcoming and friendly service. Plenty of dining area and a wide variety of foods

Friendly service and good food in the middle of Dartmoor

My partner and I popped in for breakfast after an overnight stay on Dartmoor. I had a full fried breakfast and my other half had a sausage and bacon sandwich. The food was wonderfully fresh and of a fabulous quality.

Great breakfast, always busy with a good atmosphere of locals/outdoorsy tourists

Great breakfast and local produce was used. Very nice staff as well

Ah, the delights of the Fox Tor after a muddy walk or a soaking mountain bike ride. It doesn’t matter how disheveled you are, you’ll be welcomed. As well as muddy bikers the cafe also has room for dogs.

I've had a coffee and a nice cake before my walking, the staff is very kind and the plase is nice and lovely

Lovely little cafe situated in Princetown ideal for a cycling vacation

I enjoyed a very nice Hot chocolate, and carrot cake. My friend had a latte and T. Cake toasted. Very good service. Go again.

Amazing. It is at the sacred heart of Dartmoor selling lovely hearty food to sustain folk who enjoy the moor.

Was busy and rightfully so. Lovely coffee, nice bacon sarnie and a nice atmosphere on a drab dartmoor day! :)

Cosy cafe, with good choices, they have vegan and vegetarian options available! Which is good. Friendly staff and fresh food and drink. My husband’s burger bun was not fresh and we waited for 20 minutes,

Literally the best baguette ever!!! Stilton and cranberry comes highly recommended! Such a lovely cafe, friendly staff, good food and a great pit stop for adventures on the moors.

Lovely little cafe, good prices and good quality food. I will use this place again.

Fantastic food and service. Will be back again soon.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy our meals here and have taken advantage of the 'specials' on the blackboard. We have had the lasagne, beef chilli, sausages and mash as well as other meals on the regular menu, all of which we have enjoyed and are decent size portions. Will be back soon! As an aside we enjoy seeing the dogs who on the whole are very well behaved!

A great place to stop either before a long walk or after, great service, however they stop cooking after 3pm.

Great after a bimble over the moor, Warm, friendly and good food.

We were out for an early drive and saw this cafe. Great free parking behind. Really nice atmosphere and food is all fresh. We had a Brie and cranberry sandwich which comes with a small side salad. Wow, it was delicious. Coffee is good and hot. Lots of delicious delights on the menu. Warm and friendly service. Very reasonable.

Having recently moved to the local area we have visited Fox Tor Caf a couple of times now and it never dissappoints! They have plenty of vegan options for myself (including a Devon cream Tea - YUM!!). My partner and I had a lovely vegan breakfast there yesterday. Staff are very friendly and provide an excellent service. The location is also fab, being right in the middle of Princetown there are plenty of walks through the Moors on the doorstep. Would highly reccomend a visit :)

Had 3 course Xmas lunch with wife Steph today, have to say it was as good a Xmas lunch as we've had anywhere, all fresh produce and plenty of it, at a more than reasonable price, thank you so much to all staff and owner Derek for looking after us, Graham and Steph

Amazing food, local produce and really tasty. We had the cooked breakfast and it was very reasonably priced for the quantity and quality you got. Also great that there is parking.

We had some lovely good quality food here today. Good portion and the cheesy chips were fantastic with tasty cheese and we’ll layered.

Lovely breakfast and excellent value, especially with the hot drink and orange juice included

Great cafe with fantastic coffee, definitely top in Princetown. Super friendly and understanding of me being between jobs! I will be back 😎

Stopped here twice for a large breakfast and both times it was really good definitely recommended it.

Brilliant little cafe with lovely cake, and coffee. Didn’t try the bigger meals - maybe next time!

So I say on a table in a corner on My own well away from the dogs that were in the café and very evident by their smell. As soon as my food turned up another dog owner came in with a stinking wet dog and tied it to the leg of the table next to me and went to the toilet. While she was gone her dog shook itself dry, spraying filthy water all over me and my food. When the owner came back I complained to her, she made light of it saying dogs are a big part of life and I should learn to live with it. I was so angry I got up and left leaving my half eaten meal. I left a review on google and the owner also made light of it. Am I wrong to expect simple hygiene where I eat?

As much as I love dogs, and i appreciate people want to take thief dog to the cafe, what i don’t expect when paying £15 for a breakfast is a wet dog tied to the table next to me whilst it’s owned is in the toilet shaking itself dry, spraying my breakfast and myself with water from its wet stinking coat. The food is normally excellent here, but at this one time there were no fewer than 6 dogs in the cafe, and the smell of wet dog was over powering the smell of smoked bacon. Not the best experience I’ve had at this cafe, maybe dogs should be kept outside if soaking wet?

We had lunch here. Lovely fresh food, lovely staff, nice atmosphere and we could bring our dog in. We’d definitely go back.

Second time I have visited and this one five stars also. Had a cream tea and it was superb and great value. Dog friendly which is always a bonus.

Stopped for lunch, food was pricey for what it was. Staff were friendly enough but the quality of food combined with the price means we'll be going elsewhere from now on.

Had some carrot cake? was the heaviest cake ever, it would have sunk the Titanic from the inside let alone hitting it on the front, coffee okay but expensive.

Always use the Fox Tor when taking part in a late October cycle event across Dartmoor. Friendly staff who cope really well with 150, often soaking wet, cyclists who are in a hurry! Reasonably priced cafe grub.

Can't comment on the rooms, but had a full breakfast and it was delicious. Really good menu with lots of other options available. Looking forward to trying out more next time!

Absolutely packed when we arrived but was quickly delivered to our table , staff were excellent and smiling 👍

Lovely gem in a wonderful area, service and food highly recommended

Always nice to return to a warm and cazy cafe for a coffee and a catch up with friends.

A very lovely lunch. I had a vegan burger and it was delicious. Portions were great and the staff and service fantastic. The lovely older blonde woman kindly took a photo for me and was very caring. Definitely will be back again.

Delicious cakes! Excellent coffee, beautiful setting, friendly team.

Dropped in after doing the Burrator loop today for some lunch, ordered a ploughman’s- still is the best around in my opinion! Prices fair , nice and welcoming too.

Great cafe. Great service and food.

A firm favourite for my D of E team

Lovely place to stop on Dartmoor Food was great. Busy but didn't have to wait too long for food. Clean and tidy cafe and staff were friendly.

Good English breakfast at a reasonable price, friendly staff and quick service

The Fox Tor Cafe at Princetown never disappoints. Best breakfast around with plenty of choice.

Lovely all day breakfasts. Good value for money and the quality of the ingredients was great, e.g. the bacon and sausages were tasty.

The vegetarian breakfast was delicious and very reasonably priced. It came with a coffee and an orange juice!

Lovely cafe with lots of delicious cakes pasties etc. Lot of healthy options. I had the best jam donut l have ever tasted! Also nice gift ideas of food and drinks biscuits sweets. Staff friendly and polite. A very busy place in a lovely area.
