The Game Larder in West Devon

I’ve come to this shop hundreds of times and it’s always excellent. The staff are always lovely. The food is always great The coffee is always on point They stock a lot of local food and drink you can buy as well If you’re going on to the moors for the day this is the place to get breakfast If you’ve been on the moors all morning this is the place to get lunch

Popped in for coffee and cake before going for a walk with my mum. Loved the selection of cake which was plentiful even though we visited late afternoon which was a lovely surprise considering a lot of coffee shops tend to not have much choice past 2pm. I had the lotus Biscoff loaf and my mum had the hummingbird cake, both deliciously moist and VERY moorish. The coffee also lovely! Not to bitter and tasted amazing. Will definitely be returning! Also loved having a nosey at all the different products they had to offer.

Great coffee, lovely friendly service despite being busy. You can see that effort goes into everything they do here-it’s great and I will be back again!

Tried getting in here a few times for cakes but gave up. Finally got in ......the cakes were pricey but exceptional. Best Belgian buns ever

We came out today. Everywhere was very busy and we looked forward to the lunch from here. It’s been a while and we noticed that it’s now called just ‘Larder, but when we got the door at noon we (and others) discovered that on this May bank holiday they were closed but we very relieved to check online and find that they will be open tomorrow.

Pleased to find that despite the ups and downs of COVID stumbling blocks, the GKhas kept it together, so after a long trek with the dog on the moor, so useful to take away an excellent roast, a Thai chicken pasty and a vegetable pasty. For completeness some slices of cherry shortcake. Good value. Steady flow of customers and a queue but we were able park easily and close.

I have popped in to the game larder twice in the last month after an early morning walk. Both times I’ve had snacks and coffee, both times everything has been delicious! The service is great too. Will definitely be going back :-) x

Normally get a good portion of meat and potatoes with crackling and apple sauce as I can’t eat the bread or stuffing This time I seem to have been served half a normal portion and still charged the full amount Very dissatisfied and won’t return

Despite the current restrictions due to COVID, I still venture out for the occasional breakfast or lunch from The Game Larder Yelverton.The food is always freshly cooked. The menu varies day to day for lunches. It is by far the best quality food in the area.The staff are beyond helpful, and always take the time to ensure your order is as you want it.Mega thumbs up from me

Great to see the return of this local institution. The Game Larder is an essential stop for great coffee, the deli, and the pasties are legendary. Lou and Henry are delightful hosts. Can’t recommend it enough!

Come into this shop regularly. Pork and Chutney pie for my wife and Pastry or Pork bap for myself. Cannot fault it. Pre Covid they also served coffees and snacks at a long table or outside

Delicious food, coffee along with good, friendly service. Thank you. And a loverly Sunday meal which was the right size.

Love this place! Baps fab whether cold or hot....lovely granary rolls & they know what a real flat white is! Delicious food, coffee along with good, friendly service. Thank you!

On the positives: The food looks and sounds fantastic. But: It's all pretty expensive compared to say a bakery, on top of which I was charged an extra pound either for a refill of my bottle with tap water or for the privilege of 5mins inside to eat my black pudding scotch egg. On the food: The outer coating of the egg was thin and chewy and contained very little black pudding - certainly not enough to taste. And then later when I opened my takeaway chocolate orange slice (large and tasty looking) all I had in the bag was a tiny slice of fruit cake - Arggh!!Also, worth noting that the seating is two shared tables - one large, one small.

The food here is absolutely mouth watering and not super expensive either, the ladies where extremely friendly and helpful too, couldn’t recommend this place enough

Excellent service. The best coffee ever. Tempted by the lovely food so ended up taking home treats for everyone. Scotch eggs. So friendly and helpful.

You have to come here for the Bakewell Tart if nothing else. It is insanely good. No, wait, then there’ll be less for me! Seriously diet wrecking finger licking amazing. Good selection of local cheese and deli items. Friendly staff.

Good coffee and the brisket bap I had was superb. All smiles and happy customers. Not sure if the wine is for consumption, but good to see.

Absolutely love it here. A group of us are regular visitors during our bike rides up from Plymouth and this is the best place in the area by far for a drink and something to eat whether it be a roast lunch or just a filled bap for breakfast or light lunch. Lots of nice treats for sale on the shelves as well if you want something to take with you on the rest of your journey. Their sweet treats are great as well and go well with a hot drink of fresh made coffee/tea or my personal favourite a hot chocolate

Service is really slow when busy, staff chat too much with locals and amongst themselves. There’s cheese and pasties and deli goods but no game when we went, thought it was going to be a butchers/deli. Wouldn’t rush back

Excellent service every time. Range is specialist. Sometimes gets busy but the helpful staff always acknowledge you.

Waiting to be served for a take out item; 2 staff behind the counter preparing items who did not acknowledge I was waiting. Finally a staff member called for help from the kitchen. A man appeared and ignored me and went to the next customer, who also displayed a lack of respect by not asking if I was being served and proceeded to order.Very poor customer service. Will not return.

Always love coming here as there are always lots of tasty things to eat. Today we had pulled pork baps to take away with roast potatoes, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Very nice! Super service with a smile. There is an eat in option if you want to stay. I can definitely recommend Sunday lunch too!

A little gem of a shop and sells a huge range of delightful foods as well as excellent lunches and coffee. If you are passing Yelverton do call in you will not be disappointed.

We popped into the Game Larder whilst on holiday in the area.

Five of us dropped in here at the early stages of a cycle round Dartmoor. A perfect start with delicious coffee and very well filled Sausage Baps. There is a really nice atmosphere in this shop and loads of interesting sauces, cheeses, meats etc available, all adding to the attractive décor of this place.

The Game Larder, which was once a small village shop selling quality deli products, has transformed into a cosy coffee and cake shop. This location has seen owners come and go as they offered high end deli goods combined with pasties and newspapers but these current owners seem to have found a niche by combining their deli with cakes, coffee, sandwiches and wraps. They are closed Mondays.

Lovely deli with a great range of local products...however we did find it a shame that in the age of beautifully crafted coffee that the Game Larder hadn't actually upped its game in the coffee stakes to match its array of deli delights...our flat white was just milky coffee and our cappuccino was scalding hot and burnt my mouth. We so appreciate our local businesses and want them to thrive, if they got this right this place would be excellent.

Amazing value Sunday lunch in informal deli setting. Good well-cooked, wholesome local produce served simply with no fuss. Interesting variety of local produce for sale including excellent local bottled beers. A real find - would divert well of our route to go here.

Stopped here for coffee, cake and chicken fajitas. All was excellent especially the coffee which was top notch. Only one minus - no loos, so you need to hop across the road to the public conveniences - no big deal though and easily offset by the tasty produce.

The game larder have locally sourced and home made produce all of a high standard. Their cafe serves excellent quality food and coffee

Came in on then 25/07/18 and asked for a pulled pork bap, and was served with grace and composure. The food was excellent, if maybe a tad too expensive but no matter, and would definitely recommend to anyone else.

Local deli which has a variety of lovely cold pies, snacks cheeses along with all sorts of tasty chutneys, biscuits (sweet and savoury), pasta and a wide selection of drinks. They make lovely fresh coffee and have a sandwich bar (very tasty baguettes), jacket potatoes and a very tasty lunchtime menu from pasties and pies to fajita Fridays! The staff are all lovely and very helpful. Definitely worth a visit - especially on a Sunday for their roast dinners - eat in or take away option! Super value for money.

We never go anywhere else for our coffee. Always served with a smile. Lots of lovely cakes to tempt you. Wide range of scrummy food for lunch, hot and cold. Fabulous selection of pies, flans, cold meats, and so many cheeses!!! Always new things appearing on the shelves of the delicatessen to take your fancy. Fabulous little place.

It is a good job that I don't live near this place as I fear that I would become a permanent resident. Lovely fresh food - today for example they were doing pulled pork with stuffing in a bap. Pasties lovely and fresh and this is a real little gem of a place.

Visited for a late lunch. lovely little shop. selling hot snacks, freshly made sarnies and baguettes and most importantly, coffee!

Highest quality food with informal creative service style. Attractively laid out and a great addition to a rural village centre.

Small delicatessen with a great choice of groceries, popped in to have a look around and noted simple food choices but seemed well done. Large long table in middle with a couple of seats in window. The food was great and the home made sausages in buns were the pick of the food. Well worth a stop for a shop and some food

Best coffee in Devon! Friendly service, tasty food with a great atmosphere. Sell some very good quality produce. Small and cosy but child friendly too.

We are locals in the area and so it's easy to pop in here and grab a hot drink after a walk on the cycle path (incidentally this place is a firm favourite of the cycling fraternity which is great )

Always get lovely food here, I love thats it full of lovely different food as I like to try new thing. Staff are so friendly too. Best olives around 😋

Lovely place. We had simple cottage pie. Cooked perfectly, well seasoned and a welcome hot meal on a bitterly cold day. Good selection of local products. We would have stayed longer but were put off by a very loud opinionated coffee drinker sitting next to us. The main eating area is a large shared table area and normally this would not bother me and I guess we were unlucky. That said we will return.

A wonderful delicatessen that also offers hot food and beverages. I understand that their plan is to expand a bit and this is great news. I go regularly when I'm in the area and can highly recommend the pork rolls, which are generously filled and come with some very tasty sauteed potatoes as a mini side. If you're looking for locally made jams and pickles as a gift (or for yourself), then there's a good selection here. You'll also find a good selection of deli produce, both locally sourced and from Europe, plus some cakes, cookies and other goodies. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Do visit next time you are in the area!

Spontaneous lunch as my friend liked the look of the roast chicken with creamy bacon and cabbage. I asked if they could do something Vegan and they were happy to oblige. I had a jacket and chose sun dried tomatoes, olives, picked onions and spinach from their deli. It was delicious and such good value. Very limited seating so go early or they do takeaway food.

Amazing pasties and fantastic produce. The Yarg cheese is fantastic, the staff are warm and friendly. There is nothing not to like about The Game Larder!!! If you're in or visiting the area make sure you pop in!!!

I went expecting a tasty pasty but instead it had no flavour, I have had other pasty's here before which have been the same so the quality needs improving.

Lovely rustic shop with cheese, organic foods etc to buy but also serving drinks and cakes with lunch specials which I haven't tried but looked good. Not a huge amount of space to sit but also offers takeaway.

We had a great catch up with some friends in a Rustic Environment. The staff were friendly and we had a laugh with them but the cakes were to dye for and very tasty. I would recommend this cafe / deli for a lunch or coffee.

Perfect selection for a post "Summer's" walk in the pouring rain. Delicious homemade cakes, one-man-pies and the perfect marshmallow ridden hot chocolate! Looking forward to next passing through!

Only £7 for a roast, very tasty.

As you enter the store the smell of the food is incredible. The vast selection of cheeses, meats, pastries and bread is fantastic. Today was my first visit but it certainly wont be my last. We had some pasties, pastries and some cheese to take home and everything was excellent cant wait to go back.

A lovely family run deli take away with friendly staff where you can also sit down and enjoy nice food and drinks.

We've been twice for a light lunch lately because it is so good and so reasonable. You can eat in with real plates and cutlery or take out , and no extra cost. Just one prepared dish each day with rice or wedges, maybe salad and it's been mouthwatering. It is small but perfectly formed and planned for customer enjoyment and the service is so helpful and friendly. Just leave us room for our next visit!

I came in here last year for freshly ground coffee and other produce but this time wanted coffee and cake to eat in. They do a very decent cappuccino here and delicious treacle tart and it is a nice place to sit either in the window or at the large communal table. There is a very good selection of meat and dairy goods including game shot by the owner and her game keeper husband who works on a nearby estate. The young lady owner is formidable but luckily has a great sense of humour.

Pop in for ice cream ended up having coffee and cake, we had not been in since the establishment had changed hand so before buying my ice cream we had a look round, liked what we saw so decided to have a coffee and my choice of cake was Chocolate Brownie (scrummy). Though the coffee was nice it was not strong enough for me but that is a personal choice and when we go again I will ask for a stronger coffee. The staff are really great easy going willing to answer all stupid questions, such as where do you sheep's milk from doh, also willing to give samples before you but. Cheese made from sheep's milk very strong and tasty if you like taste of old socks, which it would seem I do, a bit like that blue veined cheese whose escapes me. Well worth a visit.

Very helpful staff serving food of a very high standard wishing the business lots of success if you want to eat in Yelverton there is no other place to go to eat

Just had a few days in devon . What a place made very welcome fantastic little delicatessen . Take out eat in Grab a basket a wonderful desplay of deli food . And much more. Well worth a visit .

Food is great, looked after my clumsy nan falling over, Nice feel of the place. Good for lunch and takeaways. Nice apple doughnuts too. Just wish they were open Mondays too :)

We popped in as we were hungry. It was very busy, which is always a good sign. My husband had the chicken smothered with Parmesan with potato wedges and salad. It was scrumptious. Ether than we have had in some restaurants. I had a pasty and the pastry was really light; the flavors were scrumptious. If you fancy a bit to eat, you would be silly not to give them a try. Great friendly staff and wonderful food, what more could you want

Called in here today it was busy , seats inside and out was full so we had a take away I had the chicken in parmesan sauce with potato wedges with salad with a side of garlic sauce and the wife had a traditional pastie, and went and parked up by the rock , omg my chicken was absolutely lovely I wanted to go back for seconds and the wife's pastie was very nice too , that's another great find around Plymouth for amazing food

Food wonderful. Customer service is superb, everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Value for money. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Well worth a visit if you plan on having a nice day out.

called in by chance, later in pm, can recommend the vegetable pasty - husband had meat variety, also very good. would go again with more time as the deli selection looked lovely

My son played cricket for Yelverton and got my sandwiches there last season,superb, went for a bite last week fantastic pulled beef sandwich with potatoes on the side. Had lunch today it was just out of this world. What makes it out of this world is that they are down to earth and just plain helpfull a northern attitude to just make you welcome and enjoy the experience 5 stars for this lovely family and food

I like this shop. Come here often when we walk the dog on the moor. The Game Larder is a well run and sells good stuff. My only and repeated disappointment is that as a result of their very wide range of eat in or takeaway options, some popular choices very quickly run out. Eg our favourite cheese and onion pasties. A vegetable filling is no adequate alternative.

Gosh what a lovely surprise...meeting a friend for coffee at this Deli. What a delight as my first visit. Excellent produce on displayed, interesting selection of spices,teas,and other deli fayre! Small food bar providing excellent hot food to eat in or take away. Coffee excellent too!

Had a tea and a Thai chicken pasty, absolutely top notch. Best pasty I have had in a while and service was excellent. Not a bad price and great that you can sit in.

Brilliant for lunch with a different special. Great helpful staff. A choice of pasties and pies as well hot drinks. A well stocked deli with local produce

The game larder is a great find, you can sit in and eat a good selection of fresh food and quality coffee or have your food and drink packed up to take away. They have a different special every day and some fab pasties , freshly made rolls and cakes. They also sell a large range of local produce including cheese wine bread and so much more. Staff are always friendly so definitely worth a visit.

I managed to purchase the last Haggis they were selling and it was really delicious, full of flavour and peppery as a haggis should be. Great little deli, always friendly, and their got take away food is always tasty. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

The Game Larder is evolving all the time. It is filling a very definite niche. It's Delicatessen counter has a good selection of home produced food, fresh pies always excellent, but it's dish of the day is even more tempting! Pulled pork, with roasties, onions, apple sauce and stuffing works for me! Home made cakes to follow - try the ginger slice..... Good fresh coffee and now somewhere to sit and enjoy it all rather than the bus shelter! Keep going Game Larder you are doing a great job and deserve to succeed.

Just got to say a big well done to the game larder.

Popped in here to pick up some lunch, had the most delicious chicken and tarragon pie, all the food looked beautiful, especially the roast pork and crackling, I'll definitely return. Staff were very friendly and the place was buzzing.

Staff and service are always excellent and the food is always of a high standard. Always a stop point for coffee either before or after walking on the moors.

The Game Larder at Yelverton had changed a lot when we went there in January. Now there is seating, so you don't have to take your food away with you, although we did as we had our Golden Retriever with us and couldn't leave her in the car - plus my 94-year-old disabled mother is quite restricted in her mobility, so staying in the car was easier. I have known the Game Larder for quite a few years as an excellent place to shop for all sorts of deli delectables, but now you can eat in it's even better. I was hugely impressed that I was remembered from my last visit in June 2016 - and I was offered free coffee as well. How kind! I always buy foodie souvenirs for my friends - the flavoured balsamic range is superb, as is the lemon ketchup - very tart, but quite delicious - and lovely Devon preserves. They always have all sorts of delicious dishes and baps etc on offer, so you can be assured of finding something to eat whenever you go there. It's perfectly placed for dog-owners as well, as it's a stone's throw from the open moorland at Leg-O-Mutton. Oh - yes - and we had takeaway Sunday Roast lunch on our last day - roast beef with all the trimmings in clever cardboard boxes that somehow manage not to leak in the car. A brilliant idea, and it made the perfect finish to our holiday. Thank you, Game Larder!

A lovely place to go and have a coffee, cake or lunch. A great place to go and catch up with friends. Lovely selection of cakes, and deli foods, also hot food or salads available to eat in or take away. Staff friendly.

When visiting my son he recommended going here. He bought me a lovely pulled pork roll with roast potatoes and crackling! Very good portion size. Well worth the money. Shame I don't have one near me. Will definitely go again on my next visit. 😊

we go here a lot- always great quality food and service with a smile. relaxed atmosphere, lots of choice, can eat in or takeaway. we definitely recommend

Coffee like dishwater - weak and unpleasant. Just one shot in an Americano, for 70p more than an espresso. Rip off! If the coffee isn't right then no confidence in other offerings.

This is a coffee shop and deli which doesn't show on here if you search for coffee shop or cafe in Yelverton. Anyway, it is a great place with a cosmopolitan feel, good (but slightly cool) coffee, great food and polite and attentive staff. We'll be back.

Totally and utterly delicious excellent value for money the staff are really friendly always a warm welcome have recommended to lots of friends

Bit sceptical that this was just a little over-prissy and not practical enough when it first opened but have been back a couple of times including today at lunchtime on a Sunday. Busy pleasant feel with plenty of enthusiastic customers and enough space and staff to tend to them quickly. Some extra tables inside and out, good generous portions and fair pricing. Let it go from strength to strength.

We were staying in Yelverton for a few days because this is the place where I grew up and we just wanted a light lunch. Greeted with a friendly welcome and most impressed the delicatessent which even had quince jelly! You can sit, eat your food and watch the world go by or sit at a communal bar table. The chicken fiatsa was most delicious. There was an excellent selection of home made cakes. I had to go back and buy the rest of the ginger shortbreads. Our coffee was perfect. All the home made food is very reasonably priced. We will definitely will call in again when we are that way again.

I called in here to pick up takeaway coffees and hot chocolates on a busy Sunday morning, it was such a surprise find! lovely atmosphere, great looking food everywhere, and a brilliant array of homemade cakes!

Really taste roast beef Sunday lunch. Friendly service, informal atmosphere that doesn't compromise standards. Eat in around communal table which adds to the feelings of wholesomeness 😊 Walked out with foodie gifts for friends. Can't wait to go back.

Been twice now for the sunday roast can honestly say it gets better each week, staff are very friendly, welcoming and very helpful so glad we found this little treasure totally recommend

We go here every weekend for a sunday roast or whatever their special is on the saturday. You cannot fault the place, local produce, local prices and they sell things that are a little different. The family that run it are lovely and never had bad service! Keep up the good work I love my weekend lunch treat!

This was our first visit but it won't be our last. Popped in for coffee and cake, great value, quality food and friendly owners. We will be back.

Popped in here to get a couple of pasties and to try the hot roll - on the day I was there this was pulled pork. We had them all to take away and have to say weren't disappointed, roll was amazing and comes with all the trimmings so make sure your hungry! Pasties were really nice to, owner was chatty and friendly which is always encouraging. Will definitely be back

Stopped here on Sunday to get out of the rain and grab a bite to eat! Had the most fantastic Sunday roast for only £4.50! The service was fantastic and all the staff extremely friendly! I've already told lots of people about it! Such a lovely atmosphere and place to be! I could have spent all day there eating and drinking! I will definately be returning!

My husband was at the allotment and I had nothing to make him sarnies, I intended to go to the game larder to get one of their lovely pies scotch egg or something, however they were serving roast to takeaway! i got my husband a beed boxed roast, the meet was in a roll, it was amazing value for money and the quality of food was fabulous! simply wonderful!

Have been here a few times now on a Sunday after having a long walk on the moors The food is delicious pulled beef in a fresh roll with gravy plus lovely roasted vegetables and a crispy yorkshires pudding to take away, Would definitely recommend a visit. Oo the party's are really tasty to. Can't wait for my next visit already.

New take on previous groceries etc on this site. Stumbled on it first today, Easter Monday when it was doing a steady trade, and we had a Thai curry chicken pasty, a regular cheese and onion pasty and some bread stuffed with pulled beef. All reasonably priced. Friendly staff and affable feel. Haven't investigated 'game' yet but I'm a bit apprehensive that it may end up leaning a bit towards snooty country folk caricatures as hinted at by the name.
