The Grazing Cow in East Devon

Pulled in here in on the way back from a holiday. Was treated to a friendly lunch for the family. We tucked into a range of different sandwiches. These were well made with high quality ingredients. The layout of the cafe was spacious and felt newly set up. The sign of quality was the number of regulars in for their lunch. Will be calling in again.

Breakfast was poor cheap sausage undercooked eggs undercooked very greasy decided go in shop get pasty’s to take home for tea couldn’t eat pastry underneath raw and also filling undercooked

My partner and I are driving home from Bournemouth and just happened to spot this lovely place on route home! My partner had the large full English breakfast. We had a pot of tea between us both. The food was excellent. Staff lovely and friendly and efficient! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and spotless as are the toilets. Will be stopping here again for definite. Absolutely superb! Thank you guys xx

I love breakfasts. The grazing cow offer all day breakfast. I ordered the normal English breakfast and my brother had the Ham, eggs and chips, which he said was very nice. My breakfast had overcooked, dry sausage and bacon, overcooked, soggy tomatoes, tasteless tinned mushrooms and a very nice egg. As I was hungry I ate most of it. All in all very disappointing 😞 The service was very good and fast. The setting was lovely. Just a shame the breakfast was a let down and quite expensive at just under £12. They also do a children's breakfast at £6 with a heading of "Under 12 years" Why? Why can't an adult, smaller appetite, have a small breakfast?

I had the eggs Benedict and it was not great, the ham was fatty and chewy, the Hollandaise sauce runny and seemed to be not homemade so I would be reluctant to return.

Although we live locally this was our first visit and we had been encouraged to try the place by relatives from Cornwall who call in regularly on their way past. On arrival we were greeted with a smile and shown to a table in the garden room. I had the large breakfast and my wife had poached eggs on toast. The food arrived quickly and was cooked to perfection. Despite being extremely busy the place was spotless and the service provided by our waitress ‘Ella’ was outstanding.She was extremely efficient and made us feel very welcome. Overall a really great experience and we’ll definitely be back.

Very busy but quick service by attentive young staff. Not quite 5☆ for me because I didn't think the sausages were special (but my wife wouldn't agree with me!).

We go here occasionally for breakfast and it's always good. So we booked for fathers day lunch. We had roast beef,roast potatoes,cauliflower cheese,red cabbage,mixed vegetables a slab of beef and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Looked really good. However the roast potatoes had been pre cooked and reheated and we were unable to cut them, we had to practically saw them in half. The cauliflower cheese was tasteless, no taste to the mixed vegetables, the only thing that did taste nice was the red cabbage and the Yorkshire pudding. The beef itself was nicely cooked but it was a good inch thick and looked more like a steak. We were quite disappointed that the food was really bland and sadly won't be returning or referring it to anyone.

Outstanding! Location... 5 minutes out of Honiton Easy parking Excellent full English breakfast.... exceeded expectations! Attentive staff ... shout out to Tracey from West Yorkshire... and we won our cricket!

We stopped by recently after driving by many times, so glad we did and will be making it a regular stop off. There were lots of staff, service was very quick and super friendly, even though they were very busy. Coffee was excellent, as was the food. Everywhere was clean and maintained very nicely.

We wanted lunch, but the restaurant was full. The waitress was very helpful and suggested we had takeaway. So we sat outside with delicious sandwiches on thick white bread plus salad and an Americano each.As well as the restaurant there is a deli shop and loos.Certainly worth a visit if you are passing this way.

Stopped here for a half way break...great find ..very clean, airey space,excellant covid measures in place. Friendly smiley welcoming staff. I enjoyed the white chocolate and a cheese scone, my partner had tea and drizzle cake..very reasonable priced £10.25.

We've had a fair few lazy Saturday brunches here and never been disappointed. Love that there's a board with details of where all the fresh produce is sourced from - all very local, so there's no issues with food miles if that's your thing. The food itself is freshly prepared to order and the specials board is different every time we go. The building is light, airy and scrupulously clean but manages to be warm and cosy in the winter. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

I was thrilled to be able to get a gluten free breakfast that didn't involve a plate of food that had essential breakfast items missing!!! Thanks so much it was a real treat. We found the atmosphere lovely with lots of space for social distancing outside. Service was great as well, can't wait to see the new garden area. We have already been back again with friends who are also gluten free and they were very impressed as well.

Very busy but service polite and fairly prompt. Excellent specials board and varied menu. Fairly priced. Outdoor seating and children's play area. Parking adaquate.

We had a large breakfast. All local produce. Very tasty. Would highly recommend this place. The shop also sells local produce.

Popped in on the off chance, had the last table. Excellent choice on breakfast menu, family friendly well laid out. Welcoming staff. All food prepared to order with info on it’s origin. Very tasty.

The grazing cow is easy to find. It is a lovely building well designed and decorated. We had the breakfast which was very good value, and we could see it being freshly cooked. The coffee was very good and the cakes looked delicious. Good gluten free options as well. The staff were very welcoming and it was an excellent stop on a cold dreary day log burner in the corner. Will certainly return when in the area again.

Bright modern building on A 35 Honiton to Dorchester. Attractive clean layout and excellent food from local producers cooked on the premises. Home made soup, sandwiches jacket potatoes and daily specials. Highly recommended!

Two of us for lunch, 3 egg omelette with a choice of additions, and the special sandwich - garlicky mushrooms. Both were lovely, also good coffee.

Two people for the big breakfast, great value, wonderfully local sourced meat, eggs and bread. Young staff a little scatty but friendly.

Another well-cooked, delicious breakfast, en-route to a business meeting. Great way to break the journey.In this recently purpose-built café/restaurant, I always feel welcome. Welcoming smilrs guaranteed.I chose bacon sandwiches on granary bread and added grilled tomato. Delicious.My black coffee was excellent as ever: "real" coffee. Great value too - only £6.25.With very good menu, massive car parking on the level, huge indoor and outdoor seating areas, fantastic children's play area, lovely decor with quirky flourishes, plus an outside toilet, any excuse to stop here shojld be taken.Love it.

A good stop off for families to eat while on the road. Nothing special but absolutely fine. Food, staff and prices OK.

We were looking for somewhere to grab some lunch on the way back from Cornwall to London. This place is perfectly located just off the A30/A35 near Honiton. It has a quiet garden with a small playground for little kids. Great choice of well priced food served by friendly staff.

We visited here for the first time and it was lovely. A good full English that definitely set us up for the day. I love that all the supplies are locally sourced. We will definitely be back.

A great meeting venue that is smart and clean with an excellent menu, from cakes and coffee to posh nosh. The staff are always very pleasant and more than attentive

We treated ourselves to a breakfast. Whilst not particularly cheap, when you see what's included and how filling it is, it is appropriate. We didn't need to eat much for the rest of the day. Lovely and hot - a full plate of local produce was impressive. Just thinking about it makes me want to go there again right now!

The restaurant is very comfortable and relaxed, the food is fresh, well presented and they use local meat and produce. The prices are also very reasonable. Family friendly.

A gem of a coffee shop, full of locals which is always a good sign! I pop in several times a month and every time is enjoyable. The menu is tasty with some variety but they focus on doing a smaller range really well. You won't regret your visit.

My daughter and I stopped off for afternoon tea on the way home from Lyme Regis. Tasty sandwiches and fresh scones served with home made jam and cream. Absolutely delicious. We will definitely return s

Had a lovely breakfast in front of a wood burner ,so comfy almost nodded off.Great surroundings with ample parking.Home cooked meal,cakes etc.Very friendly well worth a visit

Nice new building but very short staffed. Waited 50 minutes for a small breakfast and a bacon sandwich. When the food eventually arrived , after reminding one of the two waiting staff, the breakfast was very nice but the bacon sandwich had only 1 piece of bacon in it......not worth the wait.

I visited for Sunday brunch with a friend. The new cafe is very trendy with welcoming and efficient staff. We ordered the Full English and smoked salmon and egg on toast as well at coffees. The coffees were both of excellent quality and really hit the spot. The food was even better and particularly the bacon and sausages which were locally produced and much higher quality than in normal establishments. Really well presented, large portions and tasty. Super value and overall experience. We will definitely be back !

Travelling past we popped in for breakfast, service friendly and food was freshly cooked an delicious. If you are coming this way do stop for good food.

Were prices 20% less, I'd write an outstanding review of the Grazing Cow. However spending L12 in a simple breakfast establishment as two guests ordering a cup of coffee and similarly tea, single bacon and single egg sandwich and a small bowl of porridge seems a bit excessive in my experience relative to value.

We called into this cafe/restaurant yesterday and we were very pleasantly surprised with the whole package. The welcome was genuine, service first class and quality of home made food delicious. We will be returning patrons when next travelling through Devon..

Stopped for a coffee. Very pleasant place, clean facilities. Coffee great, menu looked good. Decent parking

Lovely cafe very clean modern looking

I travel from Bournemouth to Exeter every six months or so and the Grazing Cow will always be my favourite stop. The food is freshly prepared and top quality, the staff friendly and yesterday the lovely wood burning stove was such a treat.

Had one of the best poached eggs on toast . Best quality produce makes the difference.Will go back again soon

Found this on google maps enroute to Cornwall. FANTASTIC coffee, fabulous breakfast, we chose the small one which was plenty, great sausage, bacon, fried egg, mushrooms, fresh tomato and a huge pot of baked beans with toast. The service was with a smile and the two girls were happy and cheerful. Great ingredients, beautifully cooked and excellent value. And miles better than a formula coffee stop. A fab stop off on the way west.

Staff were really nice and welcoming. Food was brilliant and just the right portion, was worth stopping here for food once finding this little dime on trip adviser. Was cheap too! Tasty as hell!

Very helpful obliging and friendly service. Food is all locally sourced and fresh. Lovely relaxing atmosphere well worth a stop.

Everything about the food and service was perfect.... If your passing then don't. Had my breakfast then almost ordered a cream tea as they were baking fresh homemade scones and they smelt amazing. Maybe pop in on way home tomorrow.

Excellent breakfast high quality ingredients... highly recommended. Friendly staff and we will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent service. Excellent food. Excellent value...........Simply Excellent. Plenty of choice both food and drinks

Having found this little gem i can honestly say that breakfast anywhere else is not an option. From bubbly smiley staff to delicious food this place has it all. Being fussy i troubled the staff with my order with a bigger list of what i didnt want than what i did.

Not many places can you go for breakfast where you can say Locally Sourced produce and NOT greasy!!- fantastic, and so child friendly the girls here go out of their way to look after you and now a small play area for the children we cant wait to return.

Great breakfast, friendly staff. Quality ingredients, & very clean. Menu simple, but plenty of choice. From full cooked English breakfast through to porridge with yogurt, granola & fruit. Free wifi Will be paying a return visit

I've stopped off at The Grazing Cow 3 times recently, for coffee or light lunch.

We had the excelllent high tea this afternoon for my mums birthday good food and services. Well worth a visit.

Lovely friendly staff, a fantastic breakfast and good value for money A fantastic discovery and well worth s detour from the a30

We visited on our way to Devon, stopping for breakfast.

What a find! Really great full English, great quality food all locally sourced and cooked to perfection.

Poped in with our 2 young grandchildren had a lovely meal service was good as well would recommend it to anybody

I've driven past this place a few times and based on the external presentation I hadn't wanted to call in.

I dropped in for breakfast with a friend and, having avoided the potentially bucking cow at the entrance (it's a model), was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and ambience. It was really busy but we were seated quickly by the very efficient staff. I ordered a breakfast and I'm glad I opted for the small breakfast, it was more than sufficient. It was beautifully cooked and really fresh - you didn't have the impression that the bacon had been lying around keeping warm for a few hours. There was a little wait for it but I prefer that for a fresh breakfast and it gave us time to enjoy a lovely cup of coffee and a chat. My friend opted for coffee and cake which was obviously home made, it was delicious. I will definitely be going back on a regular basis, I don't think you can beat their breakfasts and I can't wait to try the lunches.
