The Old Coach House Tea Rooms in Bromley

Visited Lynton and Lynmouth and was hoping to find a great cafe for a Cream Tea. The Old Coach House did not disappoint. Scone was stated as large on the menu and it most definitely was!! We also had a BBQ Chicken & Cheese toastie and an Eggs Benedict. Everything was spot on. Very welcoming atmosphere and our dog Ginny was also allowed in too which on a rainy day really does help. Thank you.

Lovely spot great table by the window, very friendly staff, good portions of food had a fill monty and three toasted sandwiches.

We had problems finding somewhere open to have lunch on a Monday afternoon, as nearly everywhere was shut, and came across Abi's Cafe in Lynton's main street. Formerly The Old Coach House, this small eatery serves mainly light lunches, snacks and cakes. I can vouch for the Spicy Lentil and Coconut Soup with Granary Bread, which was like eating a delicious Lentil Curry without the rice. This coupled with the friendly and prompt service, has ensured that I will want to re-visit if and when I'm next in the area.

Best place in pretty Lynton for a trad breakfast, as far as I could tell. Pleasant space with well-separated tables and we weren’t bombarded with recorded music, for which they get extra points (the not too loud radio was fine). My fried eggs on toast with sausages were great, as was the cappuccino. Friendly service. Only complaint: there should be salt and pepper grinders on each table rather than the measly little sachets they offer. Visitor tip: while there, do the fine walk to the Valley of Rocks and then the dramatic coastal walk back to the town centre (no more than about an hour in total).

Ignore previous review as rubbish! We went today, so pleased open and dog friendly We ordered 3 breakfast and honestly the best we have tasted in Devon. Perfectly cooked, hot, great sausages. The lady was friendly but efficient and our food was delivered quickly. # best breakfast in Lynton

Turned up at this lovely little cafe today with a family group of eight, including one ‘no dairy’ and two vegans. Quickly accommodated on two tables, one for adults and one for children. Superb choice of food freshly made and tasted delicious, we would definitely recommend this little gem of an eatery

Called by en-route to Barnstaple. Although we've visited Lynton many times, for some reason we've missed this gem of a cafe. Delicious toasted teacake and friendly owner. Will definitely call again when we are next in the area.

We were fortunate to get a seat by the fire on what was probably the wettest & windiest Sunday ever! We enjoyed a wonderful bowl of vegetable soup which warmed us up perfectly.

Cream tea was excellent on Saturday, so reserved great spot by window for breakfast on Sunday. Both were excellent and the owner could not have been more welcoming. Definitely looking forward to visiting again. Keep up the good work, especially during this difficult time.

What a lovely little cafe. A true gem of north Devon. Excellent customer service, a very friendly welcome. Our dog was welcomed and given treats throughout to keep her occupied, whilst our little boys were given some crisps whilst waiting for the mains. Very very reasonably priced, jacket potatoes went down a treat, whilst the full Monty breakfast was spot on. Cannot stress enough, if you go to north Devon and fancy a nice day out, go to and have your lunch here. Covid procedures were followed to the letter, I felt safe and secure during our visit.

Brilliant little cafe. Very kid and dog friendly(little treats for the grandkids and dog to keep them entertained while we ordered) Food lovely, service very friendly and prices very reasonable. We'll be back next time we're in the area!

We poped in for a Devon cream tea and that was exactly what we got !Scones we excellent - some had savoury some had sweet - very generous sizes !All consumed with vigour . . . Debate raged as per normal on the big jam first or cream first . . . We were all content after this feast !Recommended

Attractive window seat overlooking the street tempted us in, but once through the door we were barked at to document our contact details for test and trace, as key workers and NHS staff we were happy to do so as we appreciate the importance of this. It was the manner in which this was done that we were disappointed in. We ordered drinks from a very blunt waitress and decided not to purchase any food as we did not feel welcome. We noticed that when a nearby table was vacated it was cleared but not cleaned, cannot fault the quality of the drinks but certainly will not visit again .

entering the café the younger waitress screamed at us. It was so high pitched i didnt understand what was said. We have never visited here before so was unsure what the process was.Theres a very small book to write your details for track and trace. Its on a small shelf half way in the café. We were shouted at which table to sit at. While taking our order she was rude and short. I normally dont complain but i just cant believe how short and rude she was.We decided not to order food and just order drinks due to the unfriendly atmosphere. Which was met with 'Fine, that all'...Considering how small businesses are collapsing you would think they wouldtry a little harder on customer service.Overall I wasn't impressed by the loud southern "carm" and would not recommend going there.Stefan

Excellent and varied menu and all the food was excellent. We had cream teas and shared a sandwich. The scones were delicious and we had generous helpings of clotted cream and jam. Couldn’t fault.However the two young waitresses should think about whether working in a customer facing role is for them. My jaw fell open when one of them told another table she couldn’t help them with their bill as she was on her break. All she needed to do was pass the message onto the owner. We were told we couldn’t wait for a table as same waitress was too busy to even give an estimate of when a table might be free. Fortunately the owner intervened. I’m sorry we customers got in the way and you and your colleague couldn’t just spend your day on Instagram as you clearly were doing when the owner was out of sight. I know everything is different with COVID19 restrictions but that’s no excuse for forgetting some basic manners.

We came here to escape the rain and wow I am glad we did!! The scones are HUGE and taste amazing!! Our little one loved his banana and cinnamon cake too :)! We cannot wait to come back on our next trip!

We recently visited this Restraunt in a Trip to Lynton, the staff who looked after us were excellent, even though the Restraunt was exceptionally busy they was still very professional and made sure we was all safe in these exceptional times,The food was beautiful and hot and on this basis I really felt it deserved the rating I gave and I wouldn’t hesitate in returning.

We dropped in for breakfast. Staff made us fell safe working with the new normal. Breakfast where all delicious, fast and popping hot. We will definitely be back.

We attempted to visit here yesterday as a family - 2 adults, 2 kids. Walking past the window there were loads of empty tables so we attempted to go in only to be screeched at by a lady in there.And yes, she definitely screeched - so every existing customer turned round to see as well.You can't have a that table, you can't have this table, that tables too close to another table....It was really embarrassing for us, and the kids.Why not just remove the tables from your cafe that are not going to be used due to social distancing and problem solved....No more customers will walk in for the empty ones, no more screeching staff.Needless to say, we left.... Rapidly

We visited twice - between us we sampled a fab cream tea and a hot Exmoor beef and onion baguette. Retuned for breakfast which was also lovely, both full English and meat free.

Whilst visiting my father we stopped at The Old Coach House. We both ordered the large portion of fit & chips. There is the option to have a smaller portion for the kids or those with a small appetite.The chips were home made and with the skins, like potato wedges. They were delicious, along with the two portions of fish and petit pois. We were asked if we wanted tartare sauce and vinegar. After saying 'yes' we were given a freshly opened jar of tartare at no extra cost.We also ordered a pot of tea between us and it was made with tea leaves. The unique teapots have the strainer made to fit snuggly inside the pot. If you like them, there is the option to buy a new one.They were busy but the waitress took time to make sure we had a great experience!We will definitely visit again... and highly recommend The Old Coach House for a pit stop!Many thanks to Abigail and the staff!

We come here for a breakfast when ever in town. I travel a lot for work and use this as my yard stick to compare breakfasts at places I am staying. I have never had anything come close. Meal comes cooked fresh and pipping hot.

Needed a coffee stop and this place fitted the need. Good service and not expensive. Did not eat so cannot comment on the food but over a weekend lunchtime in October, it was quite busy.

We visited this cafe a few times during our stay in Lynmouth, we received a very warm welcome. The menu offered a good variety and though we didn’t try the breakfasts - they looked huge! The locals were very friendly and sat talking to us for a while.We sampled some lovely large scones, my partner had a cream time whilst I had the scones with cheese- they were beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend based on the food and the friendly service.

Visit with my husband and friend to Lynton and looking for a cafe for a cuppa we spotted The Old Coach house and dived just as i started raining. The menue looked really good with lots of different than usual options including gluten free. My hubby and friend had the Bubble and Squeek, one with sausage and mushrooms the other with bacon and mushrooms. I had Chicken and Bacon Salad. We all really enjoyed our food. My salad had lovely hot chicken and bacon with the usual salad plus nuts, grapes and seeds. The food was clean looking, no grease on the Bubble and Squeek meals or my cooked Chicken and Bacon, it sat perfectly fresh on my salad.Absolutely delicious. My friend lives in Tiverton and said she would be back with the family and myself and husband are from Scotland but will definately make a trip again to The Old Coach House next time we visit our freind down south. The reason I couldn't give it 5 star was the floor, it had been carpet at one time but was so worn it was shiny and looked greasy but it wasn't. It certainly needs replacing asap, perhaps a non slip cleanable covering might be better. I had trepidition sitting down but need not worry, the food was excellent for the price which took into account there was no WC facilities on the premises I imagine. So in for a cuppa but enjoyed a lovely reasonably priced early dinner, thank you.

We came here with my parents and two dogs and were made to feel very welcome. It was warm and inviting out of the rain and the two ladies who served us were fab. Food was really lovely and a great price! Next time I'm in the area will definitely be popping in with Dylan my Basset hound again. Great job ladies!

The food is good and tasty and fairly priced with a good selection of main meals and snacks. There is a good selection of teas and they use leaf tea. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The waitress noticed I had bought Lactose free milk with me and when I ordered toast with my meal asked if I wanted dairy free spread because I hadn’t said. Many places are helpful if asked but I’ve never had a waitress remind me like that. Well worth the visit

Lovely cafe, very welcoming and the cream tea was excellent. Huge home made scone with loads of jam and clotted cream. We were told to ask for more if we didn't have enough. Would recommend.

What a great little tea shop , had a fabulous freshly cooked mini breakfast here , cooked perfectly poached eggs hot food

Popped in for coffee. Waitress didn't know what iced coffee was bu t said someone would make it. Ages later brown sludge and my tepid latte appeared. We explained iced coffee is a large glass of ice, cold milk over, shots of coffee over. They had just put it all in a blender which was a frappaccino. A child who had made it came out to argue. They weren't least but interested in learning how to make it properly. Waitress embarrassed. Fortunately found Charlie Fridays next door who are BRILLIANT.

Three of us dropped in for some late lunch. Good home cooking, can't beat it! Scones were perfect, sandwiches fresh and tasty, the chicken curry even had the option of cauliflower rice. Made our afternoon.

This vegan thing gets easier with time. I had just arrived in this beautiful little town when I saw a big sign in the window saying vegan options available. A beetroot and bean burger was on offer. I am a big lover of all things beetroot, so couldn’t miss this one. A big juicy vibrant purple slab topped with violite cheese served in a soft white bun arrived with salad, onion marmalade and some of the best potato wedges I’ve ever had. Staff went the extra mile when my partner accidental left her purse there. It was a few hours later we realised this was the last place we had seen it. We got there while chef was moping her floor. She had been keeping it safe in the kitchen all day with her, waiting for our return. A massive thank you to the staff for the hospitality, the burgers and for the purse saving skills.

On a coach trip and called in for a drink and snack. Hat lovely hot chocolate and OH wanted sausage roll but they hadn't any but offer to make a sausage sandwich so we both had them and they were lovely. The bread was really good.

Randomly visited whilst in Lynton. This was an amazing find. Food was well priced and excellent quality. Really pleased with visit.

I’ve had lunch here a couple of times now and I give it nothing less than full marks. The food is excellent, all top quality and freshly cooked, and the service can’t be faulted. I don’t get to Lynton that often, but I’ll be dropping in here every time I do from now on. My advice, for what it’s worth, is try the 3 egg omelette. You won’t be disappointed

We came here for lunch, we all had sandwiches which were massive and really delicious. I had roast chicken with stuffing and cranberry. I couldn't finish it! Really friendly lady runs the place. I love the decor and the cosy feel. I wish we had had time to go back for dinner because the menu had some tasty sounding dishes on it.

Lovely view over the town and everything is reasonably priced though quite basic. They knocked up a vegan breakfast for me which was okay except for the tinned tomatoes. The homemade (?) bread was very good. They did have some vegan options for mains but you had to ask what they were, which is a little offputting. Seeing the vegan options on the menu would be a big help. Can't fault the friendliness or the service.

On arrival we nearly bumped into girl who was serving. No smile or apology. Found a table amidst a Tesco delivery. Other staff were dealing with this - no acknowledging of our arrival by anyone. Couldn’t work out of it was table service or not. Heard another customer ask and this confirmed that it was. Had to wait some time to be served. We ordered a cheese scone and coffee. We’re given. Savoury cream tea which wasn’t what we wanted. Cheese scone was a sweet scone with cheese in it. Disgusting. Couldn’t eat it. Coffee was nice but tiny cups for the price. We had eaten a savoury cream tea a few days previously in a much nicer place, better quality for 50p less. The cafe decor was very average. Did not justify prices. We waited for bill but eventually gave up and left our money on the tables we won’t be returning

I loved this place - it’s quaint, good service and lovely food. My daughter had a delicious home made carrot cake, my granddaughters had cream teas and I was well catered for with my gluten and dairy free diet. Would definitely recommend!

We decided to have a light lunch and popped into here as it looked very welcoming. Wow chaotic was an understatement, a lady who did not work there was running around frantic but was very nice. The other lady was running around frantic as kept running out of cups!! I felt not enough staff for how busy this place is, food well was another story but we won't be back. (Miles tea is good)Customer service should be the best you can give- not rudeness when we went to pay !!!!

A bit of a quirky place which might not be for everyone. I have scored this as very good mainly because of the lovely lady who served us and also cooked everything at the same time. The chicken curry was superb and the rice lovely and fluffy. The steak and ale pie was a bit watery however the meat was plentiful and very tender. The Cornish aleKorev is recommended. We would definitely go back as the lady serving is so lovely. The bill came to about £30 for 2 main meals, 2 lagers and 1 wine.

Most places throw a vegetarian dish (usually veggie lasagne) onto the menu but here 50% of the lunchtime dishes were vegan: brilliant. Husband tucked into the all day breakfast and the waitress obligingly swapped the tomatoes for hash browns: I thoroughly enjoyed the beetroot and bean burger, laced with apricots and spices, with just the right number of properly cooked chips and an onion relish. The cream teas on a nearby table looked rather good too. Reasonable prices, pleasant ambience, friendly staff, good choice of food. One tiny grumble - milk flavoured with a syrup is not a milkshake!

We had dinner here and regretted it.My partner ordered steak and ale pie, with sauteed potatoes and vegetables. I ordered pie described as mushroom, spinach and sweet potatoes in a white sauce, plus mashed potatoes and vegetables.The mashed potatoes were fine, and my partner tells me the steak was fine.The sauteed potatoes were very greasy.The pies were individually prepared but the pastry tops were undercooked, not far from raw underneath. The mushrooms and sweet potatoes were swimming in a watery grey-green liquid, which had doubtless not helped the pastry to cook. If there had ever been any white sauce involved it seems to have been overwhelmed by the liquid released from the mushrooms and spinach during cooking. The spinach had been reduced to a puree. The whole was fairly tasteless.The shared vegetables were broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. Not hard vegetables to prepare, but they were frankly horrid. The cauliflower had been boiled till it was soft. The broccoli had been boiled till it was very soft, verging on mushy. The chunks of carrot had a sort of rubbery texture, almost like reconstituted dried carrot.I'm not sure what restaurant staff expect when they ask 'is everything alright'. When asked this I enquired whether honest feedback was wanted, and on being told it was, I gave it. In a customer focussed establishment the response would have been an apology and an offer to put things right. This didn't happen.Perhaps this was an off night for some reason, but we certainly couldn't recommend eating here.

So far we've had a brunch and two main meals. All have been excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Great choice of vegetarian and vegan meals. Very friendly staff and homely environment. Will be returning :-)

Stopped at The Old Coach House Tea Rooms while on Holiday in Devon,Sat in the very comfortable window seats. I ordered the all day breakfast which was very nice,and my children had toasted sandwiches that were also very nice.After we had ordered they stopped serving food because they were to busy, so time your visit just right.

Das Ambiente mit den Plastiktischtüchern erinnert sehr an Omas Küche in den 70er Jahren. Doch ist es hier stimmig. Die Aussicht auf den Ort ist nett. Wir hatten hier den besten Cream Tea unserer 14tätigen Englandreise. Die Scones sind sehr groß und super flaumig. Ebenso fantastisch ist die clotted Cream und der Tee schmeckt super.

The food here was brilliant, served quickly and cooked to perfection, good value for money and friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a lovely cafe with great food, a super hostess and something a bit special then look no further.We were hungry, stranded travelers and Abby came to our rescue in style going above and beyond to make sure we were ok.The Coach House stays open later than most cafes so it was our good fortune that we were able to get a hearty meal whilst waiting for a vehicle recovery tow truck. When the AA didn't turn up Abby simply turned up the music, made us comfortable and stayed with us until we were finally rescued hours later.Thank you just isn't enough!We will be back :-)

Absolutely super tasting scones, also GF available. All taste just like how you would expect Devonshire sconces to taste, even the GF ones. Heaven. 😊 Cakes were great too

We had afternoon tea here twice. The first time we had some tasty tea cakes with our pot of tea. The second time others had paninis and I had a toasted cheese sandwich which came with salad. The milk shakes were delicious. Very friendly service.

My family and I had a brilliant lunch here, each having a different dish! I am gluten free and they catered for me expertly, offering to customise dishes to include gluten free bread etc. My sister is vegan and they also catered for her brilliantly, and they have all of their allergen information on hand, as well as having knowledge of their dishes anyway! The price was reasonable and it was a cute, quirky and comfortable cafe that I would definitely love to go to again!

Popped in for an afternoon snack. Portions not huge (the savoury scone option could have benefited from more cheddar) but tasty and their chutney was delicious enough to buy a jar to take home. Dog was allowed inside which had not been the case elsewhere.

came in here recently with two friends, one had beef burger one had veggie bean burger and I had steak pie.The pie was only a crust over meat and gravy in a pot, that alone would have been acceptable but it honestly had no taste whatsoever. I've had steak pie, steak and stilton pie and steak and ale pies elsewhere and all have had a good taste, this was so bland one would have no idea what it was and if I hadnt been hungry Id have left it but I didnt want to order something else or walk around the town looking for somewhere else as a few places were closed.Add to this the 'local' tea, I had a pot of the stuff and again it wasnt pleasant, in fact it was probably the worst tea I've ever drank, it left a dreadful tanning aftertaste. So much so as soon as we left I had to buy some strong chewing gum to try and mask the bad taste.Then there is the question of the toilet, down a dingy alleyway thats very low, but one can accept the physical short falls of the building, but it was neither terribly clean nor well maintained. The door was ill fitting and anyone outside could peer straight over the top as the door was only about 5ft tall, the taps were loose and flopping about everywhere and though its an old building by todays standards, its well below par.If I visit Lynton again, sadly I will not be returning here.

Lovely coffee and cake! The portions were great. We popped in before a dress fitting. Decor was beautiful, and the afternoon teas looked yummy!!

I had their West Country Tea, homemade warm cheese scone, butter, tomato chutney, your choice of cheese I had brie, it was delicious. Good range of food the other cakes also got good reviews, carrot cake and chocolate cake very moist. We were here at the end of the day the staff didn’t rush us they were very friendly and this is a great cafe.

Lovely place to stop after a day walking the Valley of the Rocks. Very friendly and HUGE scones. Highly recommend it, very quirky toilets outside too!

Really lovely coffee shop - nothing was too much trouble. Excellent tea, coffee and Toasted Tea Cake. If you get there at the right time you can have freshly baked scones too which were the best! Very friendly as well, will definitely go back

We dropped in for a quick snack and we were very pleased with the Menu, very friendly, great place will call again.

Was surprised to read some of the reviews as our experience was that the staff and owner were friendly and welcoming. We called in for lunch and were so impressed we returned for tea that evening and again the next day. The food is all home made and well cooked the curry was lovely and my husband tells me that the lasagne was one of the best he’d had. My only minor gripe is that I don’t like plastic table cloths but I appreciate that in a busy tea room they are easy to clean.

what a gem for afternoon tea or snack, great service and varied menu, food seems to be all freshly cooked, and very tasty. A must for tea and cakes.

The positives: a nice location with good views from the window. Friendly staff. Cosy decoration. Inventive menu for those who like wholefoods. Gluten free options. Disappointment: the menu was tempting but food doesn't taste of much and the texture isn't nice.

Horrible wet day today made a whole lot better by our visit to the old coach house tea rooms. Second time myself and my son have been here in the last couple years and they always serve good portioned and delicious food. My son had the roast dinner and I had the lasagne and both were absolutely fabulous and the lady in the kitchen as always was very engaging and good to talk to and the two young girls serving very polite. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

I came in here for lunch with my partner while on holiday. We liked the look of the menu, which had many vegetarian options. When we walked in, it was busy and we were not sure if we should sit down or wait to be seated, no one caught our eye so we sat down. The waitress came over swiftly and took our orders, I then noticed a charging point next to out table so I plugged in my phone which was on low battery. The owner said aggressively: "Are you okay?" I said, yes just charging my phone, and he said very aggressively, "well NEXT time ASK." I've never had this before, usually a paying customer who has bought 2 meals plus drinks should be entitled to use the plugs if needs be, it's not like I unplugged anything to use it. But apparently the tiny amounts of electric used to charge my phone is more important than being hospitable to customers. I didn't want to cause a fuss having already ordered food, so we stayed. I was going to get us a cream tea following our meal but did not feel like giving them anymore service after this rude eruption from the manager. Good arrived swiftly but was mediocre. Would never come here again, a real shame as we are on holiday and having a lovely time.

Only one person was taking orders in a full tea room (10+ tables). Service was also very rushed, didn't feel very welcoming. Scones were nice, but so big that there wasn't quite enough cream and jam to put on them. We left wishing we'd gone elsewhere.

We arrived in Lynton on a drizzly morning so decided to go and get breakfast. We came across this little beauty and we were not disappointed. Good service, large portions, nice and hot scrumptious food. We were full to the brim and happy to have found such a kitsch place to dine in. Very good value as each breakfast also came with a drink. Would highly recommend this place.

Arrived at lunchtime and found this cafe with a table for five. Had a variety of items from the extensive menu. The thick vegetable soup with baguette was hearty and the poached eggs on toast looked good. Shared a generously sized plain scone but disappointed to see that it had been warmed in the microwave, ruining its consistency. One of us chose a melted chocolate and orange dessert but told there would be a delay as 'the chef had gone to the shop and we don't know how to make it.' A microwaved sponge with ice cream arrived shortly afterwards . Service was sharp and prices fair. OK for basic sustenance.

Stopped by for coffee - decided to go for cream tea - beautiful with superb home made scone. Don't miss this place if you come here!

We visited here 3 times during our stay in Exmoor. The food was amazing, we had their cooked breakfast which was massive and great value! The panninis were fantastic and packed full of ingredients and piping hot. We also had some cream teas there and they were just delicious, scones were huge, fresh and warm, and they were super generous with cream and Jam. The owner was lovely and gave us lots of tips on the local area. Best of all they were dog friendly as we had two big huskies with us. We had a great time and would definitely return!

I visited Lynton during the summers of 2016 and 2017 and have decided that if you like breakfast, this is your place in Lynton. The chef does the nicest breakfast - fluffy eggs, great potatoes, fresh bread. The manager makes excellent cappuccino! The restaurant is cozy with nice views onto the main street. Everyone in our group - six adults - agreed.

Stopped for a quick snack when visiting Lynton and Lynmouth. We chose scones- savoury and sweet which were delicious and so soft and fresh. The service was excellent and the whole experience gave us a real 'feel good factor' before we set off home. I would definitely choose the cafe next time I visit - thank you

We were happy to find good pub grub whilst we were staying for a few days in Lynton. It was so good, that we returned to this coaching inn every evening! Friendly staff, and the locals were friendly too, with a welcoming atmosphere. Dogs were allowed in, but they were no bother as they were very well-behaved! Lovely pub!

Whilst in the area decided to have an early evening meal....I was not disappointed.... the menu was varied to suit most tastes and the portions were excellent....and all home cooked....a real bonus..would certainly recommend this lovely restaurant.

The Old Coachhouse Lynton Serves the best Fried Breakfast in Exmoor. Prices are reasonable and staff always friendly. Would not go anywhere else.

My husband and I had lunch here, we had Jacket potatoes, very nice. Thanks for the tip on how to get Scones to rise like yours! We will visit again.

After filming in this town for the past month and trying out all of the lovely local restaurants I found this , a long night shoot warranted a good breakfast , absolutely first class food served hot and fresh with lovely staff . Great old English style to suit the area made me feel at home . Not to be missed they have a big menu with tea cakes and more .

Enjoyed a beautiful roast with family. Local produce with a good choice of food available. Would visit again.

We were looking for afternoon tea after a lovely walk around the area with local friends and everywhere seemed to be closing it was 3.10pm however the Old Coach Tea Rooms welcomed all 6 of us and a dog with open arms! In the end we were so hungry we went for roast dinners x 4, Panini, and the Lentil and Cocnut soup with a cheese scone. Service was very quick but it was not too busy. Our drinks order was very complicated and would normally have been greeted with the usual sigh or despondent mumble, however she patiently took ours and the kids orders and came back within minutes. The food was very basic but we had plenty of it and she even came over with extra Yorkshire puddings. One of us ordered Chicken but still had a Yorkshire and all of us who ordered beef had stuffing too - lovely touch! Plenty of veg, the tea and cappuccinos were lovely (kids had milkshake and a hazelnut flavoured hot chocolate!) The menu was so varied from sandwiches, jacket potatoes, roast dinners and cream teas etc. The beef was a little overdone, but quite frankly, at the price, it's what we expected, it was piping hot, served quickly and with a friendly smile. Our friends have just moved to the area and will be back with the many droves of visitors that they will attract and it seems it is open during the Winter months. The lady working, may have been the manager or owner and was working very hard but she made it look easy. The tea room had also been decorated for Halloween. There was even some guest bottle beers from the local brewery. A lot of hard work and care has gone into this establishment and people should appreciate this when choosing to eat here we will gladly be back

We had lunch here and were impressed with the home-made soup. Had tasty gluten free bread which also went down well. Said we may come back for dinner and on arriving in the evening found there was a reserved table for us (psychic or what?). We had the mushroom casserole which was excellent - made from various wild mushrooms. Lovely place, good food and homely.

We came across this unassuming eatery, by chance one evening and are so pleased that we did. The wholesome, homecooked fare was delicious and very reasonably priced as were the drinks. Well worth a visit.

I've been coming to Lynton for several years, and this was the first time I'd gone for something other than 'pub' grub during our short stay. The Old Coach House offers superb home cooking, in a relaxed and friendly environment, and the host was magnificent. It was so good, we back another evening and took friends with us. Will definitely be back next time we're in Lynton.

A comfortable, unassuming atmosphere with friendly staff and a varied menu. Our meals turned out to be tasty and filling - as good as a home cooked meal.

Had the local fare of fish cakes and jacket potato. Also had the local Burning House Beer. All were great! Staff ws friendly. Much better than the touristy places in Lynmouth

Very nice food and welcoming staff. Young children catered for too. Been for breakfast and dinner and both great. Well priced too.

We had ploughmans and salad. The portions were small. Sauted potatoes were coojed, sluced potato. They had not been 'sauted'. Next time we are in Lynton will check trip advisor for better place to have light lunch.

Food was great. Friendly service and enjoyable night. Menu of good Home Cooking which tastes great. Would recommend it to all.

Great home cooked food and very tasty, price was reasonable and would definitely eat there again, Its a comfortable place to eat and as a good menu..

It was the worst day of our holiday weather wise, rain on and off most of day and we were going along the coast visiting several towns.We called into Lynton and found a parking place close to several tea rooms.In the rain, we opted for the closest, an old fashioned looking place, "The Old Coach House" - What a mistake!!!We took a seat and a young lad, probably about 16, well dressed in black & white, came over to take our order."Can you do a skinny cappuccino?" I asked" Yes " came the reply.So I ordered a skinny cappuccino and a tea.When they arrived, my wife asked if the cappuccino was made with skinny milk, the answer came back with " No, Full Cream "She declined it and I was left to drink a rather weak, tasteless cup of tea on my own.We paid for the tea and left.Whilst we were in the tea rooms, a few customers asked where the toilets were.They were directed outside the shop and down a narrow alley at the side of the premises. We decided not to venture down there.Another customer wanted to pay by card and was told they could not accept cards but there was a cash machine down the road.One to avoid I think.

We came for an evening meal and ordered the fish cakes. The portions were very generous. The fish cakes were home made and well flavoured-no questionable mush but recognisable fish, spring onions and a hint of cheese. For dessert we had apple and blackberry crumble. The fruit was clearly prepared by hand with plenty of shape and texture (again no questionable mush) and even the custard wasn't water based. Prices are very reasonable and excellent value.The drawback is that the decor is a little tired and could do with a brighten (hence 3) But don't let that put you off it's worth a visit for a meal that is good, generous in size and value for money.

The Old Coach House is well worth a visit if you are looking for good inexpensive food with friendly service. The portion sizes are generous and prepared using local ingredients. We ate here several times during our stay and enjoyed had a good experience every time.

We came in here to grab some brunch and get some shelter from the rain. I had some wonderful loose leaf tea with the home made vegetable soup and I was cheeky and asked for bubble & squeak rather than cheese scone or bread as I am gluten intolerant but the gentleman who served was more than happy to accommodate. My other half ordered a sausage sandwich and unfortunately the chef forgot this but she was absolutely charming and apologised personally and when we received the bill they'd taken off his entire meal. We didn't ask or even expect them to do this and as myself and his mum had enjoyed our soups and meals we actually felt a bit mean so we left the money all the same. I cannot praise this lovely little place enough. The food, the menu & the staff are brilliant and it's great value for money.

OK for 'basics'. Coffee was average and you can't really get toast wrong can you? Saw other food going out and looked OK. Felt going back to the 80's a bit with decor but pleasant service and not too pricey.

Had the most gigantic scone/cream tea I have ever had, and I have had many in Devon/Somerset...I could not eat it all, and lovely loose tea, and china cups. Staff were friendly, prices average, felt like going in my nanna`s house....I really enjoyed my visit.

Popped in for a bite to eat on a very wet and windy afternoon. We were greeted by a young lady who was very quiet and not very hospital. The background music should of been that,...they played very loud rapping music and as we sat down another couple arrived and hastily left after saying... good luck with coping with the awful music. Another couple commented to us how awful the music was... it was extremely loud, so much so you just wanted leave.

Generous size portion but cheese and bread were both very ordinary and coleslaw advertised was actually diced red pepper and stringy lettuce. Chutney had an unappetising flavour. At least the ham was good and staff were friendly.

Ordered the spiced coconut and lentil soup but neither of us could eat it. It tasted of uncooked spices. We changed it for vegetable soup which was nice.

Excellent food at a competitive price. Friendly staff and prompt service.Wide choice for all tastes. Recommended.

Bonus for us is always being able to bring our dog in and the lady running the place was very welcoming of us and the pooch. We only had drinks but the food look good. Apparently she had only just opened again for the season so was beginning to build stocks back up. Would definitely go back :)

This place is a little quirky and has the feel of an old style cafe. The food was really tasty. I had a toasted sandwich with some rather yummy home cut and cooked chips. The coffee was also good and welcome after our walk. I like places like this which are independent and good value for money.

We had the jacket potato with hot exmoor beef, onions & horseradish sauce + side salad --- generous & delish!!! The cafe had a homey, cozy feel to it, with a small selection of books (puzzles, recipe books, travel books) to browse through just to pass the time. A few things for children, too.

Dropped in for morning coffee on a b lustery December morning. The best and frothiest cappuccino I've ever had. Top drawer!!
