Since I discovered this place a few months ago it is always top choice for breakfast or lunch. Atmosphere is great staff are welcoming and the food always great.

Had a tuna and cheese panini and a fish finger sandwich - all very tasty, although the fish fingers were very small and not enough for the bread, and the bread fell apart - disappointing.

Appreciate it is busy but to wait 15 minutes to clear the table and then not clean it is poor. 8.50 for a tiny bit of smashed avocado is also not good. I will not be back as there are plenty of better places with a better atmosphere and more of a choice on the menu.

Phoned to book a table for breakfast and we're told it was not busy and to come on down when we were ready, arrived 30 mins later and it was rammed mainly due to the iffy weather and it being Easter Weekend as Im sure some people would of been outside, we queued and eventually a table became free, food was nice but the service slow I guess cooked to order, we will come again when we can sit outside in this lovely little spot

Visited with a friend , who was visiting me, and as I had always enjoyed a meal at the Guardroom. Attended had our food, which was OK, I then ordered our drinks, we were not told that they were closing shortly. Sat down and after approximately several minutes , the young female approached us and said " Can I have your cups " seeing our cups were full!! She then stood there looking at us. We both got up and walked out. There was a large group, who were clearly friends, and their table was full of cups/glasses and plates, but she made no effort to take these. I will never go back again, if they are happy to serve and not mention they closing in the next ten minutes, but happy to take my money, then that will be the last time they take from me.

London quality and good value for money. Lovely setting, ambiance, decor and freshly cooked food. In our opinion the Boringdon and the Guard Room are the only places worth spending your money within walking distance of Turnchapel. The other eatery grossly overpriced and poor quality in our opinion

The provision of evening meals is a new venture for the Guard Room, and certainly worth a try!There is a small three course menu. Meat, fish and vegan options for starters and main course followed by a range of desserts. It was also possible to order a cheese-board (which was not on the menu).The coffee was good too.The dishes used simple ingredients which were well prepared, well cooked and beautifully presented.The table service is good. The Covid precautions, including advanced booking, were well managed.

ReinoFuimos invitados para una vista previa del nuevo menú de cena que Guard Room comenzará a ofrecer los viernes y sábados por la noche. Vivo cerca de este café y a menudo voy allí. Hacen un excelente desayuno y realmente disfruto el almuerzo. Sándwiches y bocadillos sencillos pero recién hechos en casa con ingredientes de buena calidad. . . Siempre delicioso. Me gusta especialmente el ambiente aquí. Durante el día, puedes sentarte afuera mirando el mar y los barcos, es muy lindo. Me encantan las cómodas sillas de cuero junto a la estufa de leña, para los días de lluvia. Pero esta noche cenamos aquí y la comida fue exquisita. Ingredientes frescos, presentación encantadora y el excelente servicio amable que siempre me gustó. Las opciones de mariscos que tuve (vieiras con salsa de coliflor y tocino; filetes de dorada con hinojo y papas pequeñas y floretes de brócoli) eran extremadamente deliciosas. Mi marido tenía pierna de ternera y terrina de cerdo y todo parecía y sabía increíble. La mejor cena que tuve en mucho tiempo. Tengo ganas de volver.Fecha de la visita: octubre de 2020

La primera vez que he estado aquí y fui a la hora del almuerzo. Estaba muy ocupado. Me alarmó bastante ver que había una fila de personas haciendo cola para hacer sus pedidos tan pronto como entré por la puerta con muy poco distanciamiento social. Mi amigo y yo pasamos junto a ellos y encontramos una mesa afuera de la cual una camarera nos dijo que acababan de limpiar. La comida tardó mucho en llegar. Valió la pena esperar, estaba delicioso. Usé mi propio aerosol desinfectante de manos ya que no pude ver ninguno en la mesa. Usé el baño, que estaba muy limpio. En este momento, con COVID alrededor, no creo que vuelva, ya que no siento que estén tan bien como otros restaurantes / cafés en los que he estado. Un sistema unidireccional y desinfectar las manos en las mesas habrían ayudado. Sin embargo, la comida era muy buena. Al salir, vi un higienizador de manos en la pared cerca de la puerta, esto estaba oscurecido por la cola de personas cuando entré. Al salir no había cola para la comida, así que me sentí seguro.

Las mesas estaban espaciadas y había un montón de desinfectante de manos esparcido alrededor. Silla de ruedas / cochecito y se admiten perros. Había asientos en el interior y al aire libre con vistas al puerto deportivo.Traje a mi esposa aquí hoy para desayunar y nuevamente, lo pasé muy bien.

Almuerzo decepcionante con un amigo. Es posible que los hayamos atrapado aún en modo de suspensión después del cierre, sin embargo, no hay excusa para el servicio lento (no estaba ocupado) comida quemada, (buñuelos de maíz dulce volteados por el cocinero para esconderlos), mesa sucia y comida todavía en el piso de los comensales anteriores, ni la respuesta frívola y desinteresada del personal al consultar la comida quemada. Un bonito lugar con vistas al agua, una amplia terraza al aire libre con mesas y sillas, pero a precios elevados y, según esta visita, muy sobrevalorado. No volvería ni lo recomendaría.

Basado en buenas críticas pasadas hoy por capricho, yo y dos adultos más visitamos la sala de guardia para el desayuno. Nos sentamos exactamente a las 12 del mediodía ayudando a mi esposa discapacitada a sentarse y luego recogiendo tres menús del mostrador. Acordamos rápidamente tres desayunos y fuimos a ordenar desde el mostrador a las 12. 05 pm solo para confrontar a un hombre hosco con la respuesta, solo sirven el desayuno hasta las 12 del mediodía (lo notamos en el menú). El caballero siguió con el comentario de que ahora habían apagado todas las parrillas y que ahora solo servían del menú del almuerzo. . A pesar de explicar que éramos clientes por primera vez, dije que no volveríamos a visitarnos. Incluso cuando salía cuando estaba hablando con mi esposa sobre un asunto no relacionado, el caballero gritó desde el mostrador "¿tienes algo que decirme?", Mi respuesta fue que no tenía nada que decirle. Doblamos la esquina hacia Boringdon Arms para ser atendidos por un caballero muy agradable, un desayuno más grande al mismo precio, buen servicio, galletas con nuestro té y un ambiente agradable. Como residente de Plymstock desde 1972, uno puede asumir con seguridad que yo y cualquier amigo o familiar seguramente visitaremos el bori nuevamente y no la sala de guardia.

Have eaten breakfast here several times and never been disappointed. Have tried different breakfasts each time from the traditional breakfast, veggie breakfast, the avocado and hummus on toast and the egg and bacon bap. All the food is cooked to order and it has always been tasty and the portion size has been generous. Coffee is great and so are the cakes. We have always found the staff to be friendly and service is good if you come early, but this is a very popular place with locals so it does get very busy at times. This is dog friendly and this is popular with people walking their dogs. There is seating outside which is lovely on a nice sunny day as you can see the river traffic and watch the boats going up and down. Small car park outside. Please be aware that this cafe isn’t very large, which is part of the attraction as it feels more personal, so it can be difficult getting a table at busy times and you might have to wait some time for your food. But, it is well worth a visit for both the food and the friendly staff.

I ordered the big breakfast, the service was very good and the food was served hot in a timely manner. My only gripe is the fact the big breakfast has two eggs, two bacon, two sausage etc, other than only HALF of a tomato was served, what happened to at least the other half of the tomato and for that matter the other tomato. Now this might seem trivial, but as an experienced chef, I very much look at the attention to detail when eating out. The cost of tomatoes are not expensive and to me this makes all the difference in making dining out an enjoyable experience.

Dropped by late morning for an ice cream or cold drink. Ignored at the counter by the 3 staff for a short while. Said they had no ice cream at all. Ordered 4 milkshakes after they changed the story and said they had ice cream for those. Guy brought 4 glasses clutched to his chest - no tray, no straws ("we haven't got any"), no spoons, no napkins. Milk shakes were almost warm and were obviously just milk and syrup. Guy again said they were made with ice cream but plainly they were not. Shame, because this could be an excellent go to spot - super waterside location. But the place lacks good management and well trained staff with good standards who treat their customers with respect. We won't be going again.

This is a busy (at the time of visit) venue with some pretty decent food on offer. We each had the full English which was well cooked and tasty so no complaint there. However, we were disappointed at the nature of a few customers who felt it ok to bypass the queue and sit at tables already in demand for the people who were ordering their food and didn’t hide their arrogance. The staff although friendly and clearly busy seemed oblivious to the musical chairs going on. All in all decent food but marred by the actions of some customers and seating issues.

The guard room is a regular coffee place for me and my friends where we all live locally with babies and toddlers. We often have breakfast there and the occasional lunch. About 12 months ago I mentioned that I found it disappointing that they supplied high chairs but no changing facilities. It’s clear to see that there would be room for a drop down changing mat in the toilet. I asked about this again today being a year on as to why they haven’t installed one as it’s not a ridiculously costly thing, and In my opinion essential, I left a review on trip advisor over 9 months ago about this and how inconvenient it was changing my son in the cold outside on the decking because I don’t agree changing a poopy nappy in front of customers who are eating. I was told today that previous customers had left dirty nappies lying around in the toilet and apparently management are reluctant to get a drop down facility due to the customers doing this. While I think leaving dirty nappies around is disgusting behaviour and personally not something I would do, I don’t think it’s fair to punish all your customers due to a small majority. It’s a shame customers are not being listened to as it’s a nice place to visit and food is good. Maybe supplying facilities to mums may also sort your issue out and stop people from being so disgusting. I didn’t get a warm feeling today when I spoke about it with staff members, I almost felt like they thought my suggestion was totally unreasonable, despite me being polite about it. Complete shame as this is my local cafe and some of my friends don’t want to go down due to the lack of facilities provided.

Never knew about this little gold mine, you can tell the food is locally sourced,would recommend the sweet corn fritter. The scenery is amazing, the fact it was a glorious day made it a better experience, very reasonable prices as well, will definitely be back.

I know our FB friends have been here and said how good it was but i experienced it myself today and can fully back up their recommendation. I ordered a Latte & Teacake and after a few minutes the order was delivered- the coffee in a huge cup & saucer and a big teacake on a breadboard with 2 big chunks of butter which soon melted into the hot dough. The Latte was excellent as was the teacake.

Unfortunately I had a disappointing experience. I was turned away on Friday as you weren't able to open the double doors in order to get my double pushchair inside (the same width as a wheelchair). The lock was broken on the second door.

The guardroom is situated in Turnchapel overlooking the water. It is beautifully decorated and is becoming a very popular place for both locals and visitors; whether it is just for a quick coffee or for a meal. Our visit today was for breakfast. The menu is not vast, but has something for everyone.

Good rustic food presented in a rustic way. All homemade. Breakfast, lunches and tea treats! Good for families, walkers and social meetings with friends.

It may be small and tucked away and the menu may not be huge but it still punches above it's weight. Love the fresh cakes and the good coffee. They cater for dietary requirements too which is great. Have had coffee and cake and sometimes brunch. Staff always polite. It's a pleasure to go in. Keep forgetting it shuts at 4.30 so sometimes miss it.

This cafe is such a gem. Lovely food, friendly staff, open friendly atmosphere. A short walk from car park or caravan site. So so worth it. Please come here. Support a local cafe and be amazed.

Lovely views and great latte combined! Views of the harbour and lots of boat action! Hidden away at nearly the end of Mount Batten headland. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Stopped for lunch and had a Bacon, Brie and Cranberry panini and a chorizo and halloumi burger. All the food was absolutely fantastic, topped off with a lovely brownie. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

A really nice cafe where you can sit outside and watch the boats in the marina. They do fantastic coffees and great value for money, £2.50 for a large cappuccino, my kids enjoyed the fresh ice cream milkshakes also good value for £2. Staff very friendly and parking outside we will be back many times.

Snuggled away at the edge of the road I was introduced to this cafe by a friend and it is now one of my favourite places to visit.

The Chancel has been one of our favourite places to eat in Plymouth for many years. During Covid and a bit longer they’ve been delivering or preparing for collection. Without much thought or any foreknowledge we walked down this evening hoping it might up and running for their traditional bistro food and good wines. Very disappointed therefore to find it dark, empty and will a To Let sign. No hint that there might still be an online service. Pity and we’re sad. Many dozens of happy memories.

Have purchased from here several times - both the cake slices and celebration cakes. Most of the time the cakes are great - light and fluffy, but have been two occasions where the cake was too sweet and did not taste very fresh (seems more of an exception), but will still be purchasing nonetheless.
