We think this restaurant/cafe must have changed hands recently as it’s not as good as it was. The staff are pleasant, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. We arrived early so it wasn’t at all busy. Despite this, our breakfasts took an age to arrive and when they did they were lukewarm. Won’t return.

Disappointing poor service and hard re heated jacket potatoes we won't be returning. Both jacket potatoes we had were hard and the filling had little flavour. Certainly not worth the amount they are charging. Hard to believe the kitchen staff struggle with baking a jacket potatoe?? We had to wait ages to be seated when the restaurant was very quiet.

Excellent, pleasant staff, good choice of meals and drinks. Brilliant chips crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. Would definitely recommend. Had potato, ham and leek croquettes with salad and beetroot coleslaw, plenty on the plate well presented and flavoursome.

This place is whenever people wish for high quality home made food and a dose of tender loving care service directed at tje customer(s). Indeed, I sometimes recall my French catering professional training long ago, as well as 15 years in the Hospitality/Private Service in the USA and UK: I do know what is good or not within those trades. The restaurant is clean, tidy and very friendly. The atmosphere oozes of holistic soothing vibes. The Pie of the Day , we did think, was exquisite (my wife was previously a Chef de Partie). .Well worth the price. They also have a £5 special for tea or coffee and a piece of cake in the afternoons. We had some Earl Grey teas and the cakes (Carrot Cake and Coffee Cake) were out of this world. Merci for such a golden memory and the glowing smiles from the Manageress, and Waitresses. We are so coming back as a regular treat!

Indeed, I sometimes recall my French catering professional training long ago, as well as 15 years in the Hospitality/Private Service in the USA and UK: I do know what is good or not within those trades. This place is clean, tidy and friendly enough. The coffes were very good, the cake superb and the girls serving there were just "au point", so, in all, superb! BUT, menus on the tables and a cheaper price for cakes (as an average of nearly £5 per portion is too dear), should be a must for a true better fair quality/price experience... It just touched the 4 points quality rating...

WOW! Do try the Cauliflower and Stilton Soup… Amazing.. So good, that we found the young, delightful restaurant owner, Caitlin, and told her how good we thought it was. She very kindly gave us the recipe. Every time I come here, the food has been consistently good, modern and wholesome. Well done !

very busy little place , some staff helpful some not so . my sister went to the till and got completly ignored and she was the only one there !!! only went up to ask for butter . The food was ok . i went out of my comfort zone and ordered from the specials board. £15 for beef and mushroom pie in a red wine sauce with veg and chips. well it would of be lush if i were a vegetarian as there was only one very tiny piece of meat in mine !!! but loads and loads of mushrooms in a very watery gravey . i was not impressed !! however i do get it they are produced in numbers so hard to put meat in them all but it was very overpriced for what it was . save you money and go to the farm shop back up the road you came from !!! if i were to coke again i would only have a sandwitch .

Everyone needs to go here!!! Just stopped on my way back to London on the off chance of a bite to eat, and wow they did not disappoint! Staff and setting was wonderful and not to mention the carrot cake. Definitely worth a detour, maybe even a trip itself.

Haven’t been to Combe for a while but went today for lunch for my Daughters anniversary, I ordered cod Goujons on an open wrap, when it arrived there was 3 Goujons on some salad with tartare sauce on an open wrap. This would have been ok if it was a starter, the chips were powdery and not worth eating. Very disappointing meal and won’t be going back. Used to be good portion meals but won’t be going back. A mains a main but your mains are more like starters.

This is a hidden gem. Fabulous food and good value garden centre. Interesting that they don't seem to need to advertise. Clever people know about this wonderful place!

A friend had recommended The Kitchen. It is a great little find, with a lovely friendly atmosphere. I can’t believe how fantastic the food was and everything coming out the kitchen looked. We will definitely be back to try the menu.

This is a relatively new venue which was severely disrupted by the Covid epidemic so it was a great relief to find it open once restaurants were allowed to re-open. The menu is small but functional and we particularly like their fish and chips but the food is always fresh and served up well and promtly.

Lovely sitting area and good menu spoilt by lack of flexibility on the breakfast menu and my need to swap eggs and beans due to allergies. Initially “we don’t swap” became “ you can have an extra bit of toast” I get that every business has commercial priorities, but they also have customers, and in every situation the customer surely has to be made to feel they’re the priority and they’re being listened to. Unfortunately i wasn’t made to feel either, which is a shame as it’s a lovely place.

Wednesday afternoon 19th May and we visited Coombe Garden Centre. While we were there we visited The Kitchen Cafe. We sat in the outdoor seating area and we ordered 2 flat whites, £3 each. The coffee was very flavoursome and we were served by a charming young lady. There were some major works underway in the outdoor area, creating raised flower beds, water feature and a barbecue area. We had a peek under the protective fencing, it will be really good when finished. Will certainly be back.

A great cafe on Branscombe beach front, food & drinks were excellent, staff are really friendly & helpful too. I had the big breakfast on one visit & it nearly broke me! It's a lot to eat, very good though & good value. Ideal spot for the beach or walking.

Car broke down on the Axminster bypass: when fixed I had lost the will to drive another 4 hours so checked into the George Inn. In the middle of an outrageously good Halloween party, the staff were never the less attentive, sympathetic and checked me in quickly. Recently refurbished, the hotel is really and very well furnished and decorated - super comfortable, super clean, super cozy. It’s a little gem, with parking - great value too!

We stopped at the cafe for a coffee and to warm up and decided to have lunch. I had the all day small breakfast which was excellent, the bacon was really tasty and everything was cooked perfectly, not greasy at all. My wife had the Tuna melt panini which she said was the most delicious food she had on holiday in Devon. The service was friendly and quick and everything was spotless.

Lovely family pub . We were visiting our daughter and her family who were staying at Devon Cliffs . The staff were so friendly and very helpful . Nothing was too much trouble for them . We had an excellent meal and we would thoroughly recommend a visit . Thank you to all the staff at the Clinton Arms
