The Silver Goose in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic cafe in fact so good we visited twice in a week! Had a breakfast which was lovely, great quality ingredients and served fresh and hot. Went back for an omelette and fish finger butty both spot on. Had to have cream tea as well which I have to say the scones really are the best in the area. They were lush. Also took a slice of coffee cake away with us! ..well we are on holidays. Honestly this is a gem of a place. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus for us. Dont walk past it do go and see the ladies they do not disappoint.

Visited twice over the last few days while showing a friend around the area. Firstly, the staff are kind, friendly and extremely helpful. Made us feel welcome right away. Their breakfasts are delicious, and a great price. We had poached eggs on gluten free bread and a "goose" breakfast which my dustbin of a friend struggled to finish. Their gluten free scones are pure witchcraft. I have no idea how they manage to make them so light but they're the best scones I've had in an age! If you're gluten free, this is definitely a great option!

Excellent little cafe. Stopped by today and had a large afternoon tea. Omg it was good. Huge fruit scones with really tasty strawberry jam and clotted cream. 3 good sized cups of tea each too. Left feeling very satisfied. Great friendly service too. Highly recommended

Attracted to this cafe as a window notice said 'Gluten-free meals available'. The staff were incredibly helpful (and knowledgeable) about food intolerances. Thanks.

Staff where nice and welcoming, the cafe had a lovely family welcome feel to it. The selection of food was great, nice to see a good selection of gluten free options. The food was nice and fresh and tasted amazing!

Called in mid-cycle ride thinking it would be less crowded than the seafront Was pleased to see a sign that Gluten Free options were available. The coffee cake was really good. Very light texture and packed with walnuts for extra flavour Lots of other homemade cakes available both gluten free and normal

Stopped here for a cream tea whilst on holiday - it was a lovely day so we sat outside. Service was excellent and the cream tea was delicious. Would highly recommend it.

With the Model Village cafe now no longer doing lunches (and missing out on a lot of income accordingly), this excellent cafe is just the ticket - only 5 minutes walk away. Lunch for a 3-generation family of 6 was excellent and reasonably priced too. Service was friendly and efficient.

Lovely little retreat from the heat! Beautiful fresh warm local scones and jam with clotted cream and a perfect cuppa! Lovely friendly staff and would def recommend x

We stumbled upon this cafe after our visit to the model village. There was 6 of us, which had proven an issue in a few places we tried in Torquay, but not in this cafe. We were sat down and the staff were so friendly. They fussed over my 16 month daughter and my 4 year old son. My husband and dad had cheese on toast and a bowl of chips, which looked delicious, while my mum and I had a cake. I had the spiced fruit cake which is worth a visit for alone! My parents visited again for lunch on Thursday and again raved at the quality and the friendliness of the place. Today, our last day of our holiday, we visited again for breakfast before the drive home. We had 4 vegan breakfasts and toast. It was so tasty and the staff again were very attentive. We will certainly return here if in Torquay again. Thank you ladies, can't recommend you all highly enough!

We popped in for lunch after a visit to Bygones and were greeted with a friendly welcome. Our party of four enjoyed a hot chocolate, tea, butternut squash soup (served with a warm, granary baguette), a ham baguette, Brie and bacon baguette and cheese and tomato baguette, finished off with a chocolate brownie and millionaires shortbread. All delicious and very tasty! Clean and tidy cafe, good options for lunch - definitely recommended!

Found this cafe by chance, after visiting the Bygones museum. Popped in for a cream tea - an excellent choice. The scones were so light (the best we have ever eaten) and they even warmed them up for us. They were so big, that the wife wasn't able to eat both of hers and they even offered for her to take it home with her. Tea was strong and came in a big pot, so was able to have refills. The staff were friendly and attentive and the choice of menu was very good. I accidentally left my bag behind and noticed it was missing half hour later. I contacted the cafe and they had put it safely behind the counter. Excellent service and we would highly recommend you pay this place a visit.

Spotted the outdoor seating and stopped for coffee. Cleaning system is fantastic, sat outside in sun. Great choice. Scone was the best I have had, next to mine! It came warm! Delicious. Great table service. Definitely recommend.

Called in on a rainy morning for a coffee greeted by friendly lady and had a lovely hot latte. Toilets are clean and tidy very enjoyable

I popped into the Silver Goose a couple of times last week when visiting the area property searching, spying out the land before relocation to the Bay. Very welcoming, friendly and warm lady running the show at front of house, an excellent flat-white, I didn't eat but the food looks yummy and I will definitely return for lunch when back in the area. The crab cakes, fresh coleslaw and fries sounded great! There are lots of good little cafes in the area from what I saw, I went to a few but not all, but once I relocate to the area this would be on my morning coffee stop list for sure.

I stayed in the area and for several days had breakfast here. It was delicious. The quality of items was high, it was beautifully cooked, I had a lovely welcome and the fresh coffee was the best I have had anywhere in Torquay. I am looking forward to my next visit.

We visited this cafe for the first time today. We had a delicious cream tea and two cappuccinos. The food menu is very well priced and the staff are very friendly. We will be visiting again shortly to try out the breakfasts.

We enjoyed a savoury tea (with coffee ☕️) tuna mayo & ham sandwiches 🥪 they were all tasty and came with a balsamic dressed salad and crisps. Recommend & will return.

This cafe has excellent service, was very clean, and our lunch was fantastic (we had the halloumi salad and Ploughman lunch) . The coffee was great too. The staff were very friendly and polite.

Recommended to all,friendly service and the breakfasts delicious,we will visit again,so much better than the cafe opposite

Reasonably priced. We had tea and scones was lovely nice tasty big scones. Nice thick clotted cream. Jam wasnt the best but sufficed. Helpful friendly staff great little hidden gem.

We have eaten here a couple of times now and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Always a warm welcome. Food is presented nicely and always hot.

it's very clean and well set out. Good coffee and a good menu with more variety than most. Friendly welcome and cosy. Nice and clean with good seating.

Good cake, great tea, excellent value and served quickly and efficiently by some of the nicest staff to be found anywhere

Last time I visited it was under different ownership. A couple of ladies now run the kitchen and 'front of house'.

We have just finished our lunch at the Silver Goose and it was very tasty. A great selection of savoury tarts, we tried the Homity and the Stilton and Walnut. I would recommend both. Nice clean place give it a try.

Very good cafe if you are a coeliac. I was not too hungry but needed a snack in the late afternoon. They have GF cakes, but also a menu that can be made GF.

Came in for a breakfast. We ordered 2 full English’s and 1 Big Breakfast. Wow they were amazing, great quality and tasty food. All 3 of us enjoyed it and finished off our plates. Had tea and coffee, the coffee I was told was really nice.

Stopped by for breakfast and couldn’t fault it. Really nice quality ingredients and perfect portion size. Not badly priced either.

We went there as our usable place was closed thought we would give them another chance and I my wife and son were starving well ordered tiafish cackes two be fare were ok overpriced a ham bagel which was slow in comping but ok the girlies in there could not crake a smile no customer conversation and overpriced fir what you get anyway will not go back you get what you give customers give nothing then you get nothing all in all they do not macke you welllcome and it’s as if they do not want you two come back anyway we will not be comping back misery guts they are

Called for a bit of lunch after visiting the nearby Model Village. I had the prawn sandwiches which came with salad and crisps and which I enjoyed. My wife went for the cheese toasties again accompanied by salad and crisps. My wife did not eat all of hers and the lady who served us asked if it was the bread that was too hard. My wife explained that the bread was too thick, the cheese hadn't melted and it was therefore just a piece of cheese on very thick toasted bread rather than what we would define as a toastie! The lady just shrugged it off and left without further comment so not sure why she asked.

Having visited this restaurant several times in the past I had heard it was under new ownership. Well, the new people have upped their game with redecoration inside and even a lovely new floor. Glancing at a nearby table we opted for the roast of the day which was lamb. The lamb came with a full range of vegetables and a jug of gravy as can be seen in my pic. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the roast potatoes were perfect. The lamb was far better than expected! A superb meal. The staff were friendly and chatted with us prior to the food arriving. One of the new owners asked us twice during the meal if everything is ok - which it certainly was. A really lovely lunch for about £7.50. Will definitely return soon and I wish the new owners every success in their new venture.

Very rude stafe food nothing two rave about and very small Best part was leaving I understand it’s change know but I thinck it’s the same people

I have just returned from having a delicious cake here. I am gluten and lactose intolerant and am so happy to have found a place that does gluten free cakes that aren't just chocolate brownie and Bakewell tart... And it's on my doorstep! The ladies in there were lovely and most things on the menu bar a few are gluten free. I'll be in next week for a meal.

We eat at the Silver Goose on a late October afternoon, before visiting the Babbacombe Model Village. Service was friendly and the food was tasty. I enjoyed my cheese & onion sandwich and strawberry milkshake. The three of us eat and had a drink each for just under £20. The server (I think owner) was friendly and had a good sense of humour. Thanks for making us feel welcome.

We popped in for a bite to eat one Saturday afternoon with low expectations - having tried other cafes only to find they'd stopped serving. However, the Silver Goose proved to be the best place for us. The lady serving was very sweet and recommended a certain coffee to my husband, which he found to be very nice. The bacon and sausage sandwiches (1of each) were very tasty and the hot chocolate I had really hit the spot.

I had a simply stunning full English 10/10 loved it. It is a place worth stopping at and having a meal

Family lunch...simply stunning, exceptional service, wonderfull food, freshly baked breads.....we couldn't have wanted more. Thank you!

We turned up on a beautiful bank holiday Sat really looking forward to a good breakfast. Unfortunately we had missed the cut off, but as we were so disappointed & it wasn't that busy they made an exception. It was delicious, & lovely friendly company, so will definitely be going back!

The best breakfast ever, locally sourced produce cooked to perfection with outstanding service! Highly recommended!! 🍳🥓☕️👍🏻👍🏻

Having found this little jewel of a cafe back in February 2016, we returned hoping that the food and service were as good as our previous visits. We were a party of four adults and four very young children which can prove troublesome to accommodate with the need for high chairs etc but not at this venue, nothing is too much trouble. As a lover of a decent coffee, I can honestly say the coffee here beats any of the formulaic coffee shops you find on many high streets these days. I ordered the chicken mayo baguette and I would highly recommend this, as the bread was absolutely delicious. The owners made us feel as welcome as our previous visit and we hope to come back soon in our annual pilgrimage to the model village - thanks again.

We had lunch at this wonderful restaurant a few days ago while vacationing in Devon. What a pleasant surprise to finally find a restaurant that knows about great food and service! The staff were welcoming and highly efficient. The French lady who runs the restaurant was so friendly! She brought over a colouring book and crayons for our 4 year old daughter. She took our food order and when the food came it was the best meal we had not only during our stay, but was the best we have had anywhere here in the UK. Best of all, the French Chef came out of the kitchen to say hi and ask how we liked the meal!!! I am from Bermuda and I am used to good food and service. The U.K. Food service standards in pubs and restaurants are appalling and at last I finally had a chance to experience proper dining! I would highly recommend this restaurant as a must try if you are ever planning to visit! Bon Appetite!!

We had the option of a coffee somewhere else but the sun and out side seating at this cafe we felt the best option as we had our dog and never like to assume that taking a dog in a cafe is fair or right. We ordered (a large expensive amount) and took our seats outside... the heavens opened and were told by the lady that served us we were welcome to bring our dog inside to enjoy our drinks. After all there was a dog bowl at the door.

We use to frequent the establishment before it changed to the Silver Goose and it was very good and we had to book it most times.

Situated in St Marychurch. We nipped in for tea and coffee but ended up staying for lunch too, which was very good. Good service and value for money

My wife and I dropped in on the offchance of getting a decent coffee. We were not disappointed as the coffeee was a special blend (ground and blended for this establishment) and really first class! To accompany our coffees we chose chocolate brownies which were slightly firm on the outside and beautifully soft and sweet inside - perfect! First class service from friendly and knowledgeable owners. Well recommended.

Pleasant little bistro with a good menu. We went twice for breakfast. If you ask you can dump the American items of baked beans and hash browns and get more mushrooms and tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes that are actually cooked enough to spread over your bacon. Good choice of coffees. Friendly.

Often go here for coffee as the owners are very friendly and helpful. The coffee ( and cakes ) are lovely and this time they recommended a different coffee for my sister which she really enjoyed. Definetly worth a visit.

Didn't expect to find many food options but stumbled across the silver goose. We had the spit roast and it was good value and very tasty, would definitely come back

Nice flat white and a slice on a sunny afternoon. Had been struggling to find a decent coffee in the area and came across this place. Owner had obviously invested some time in perfecting his flat white.

A lovely couple run this establishment who are very welcoming and will always endeavour to help. The braised lamb is heavenly and the omelettes are great, almost filling the plate. Produce is fresh and local wherever possible. The ham is the best I've had anywhere and comes from a farmer near Dartmoor. Chefs recommendations always worth a try. We eat here regularly and have never had a single complaint - Keep up the good work guys. - Chef has some great tales to tell in quiet moments too, keeping everyone entertained.

When we visited there was a very good choice on the menu plus the specials board. The food was of good quality and good sized portions. The staff were friendly and helpful

No Food Rating on Display and an empty Cafe tells you all you need to know! Went here last week for lunch with my family. Once we sat down were asked if we wanted Menu's, not sure what else was on offer in a Cafe??? 2 young girls and 1 older lady were on front of house, they either do not understand you or order something completely different from what we requested. For example: 1) We ordered a small Hot Chocolate for our 6 year old and 2 milkshakes. A extra large Hot Chocolate arrived. The milkshakes were warm and did not taste nice. 2) We ordered a Chicken Mayo Toasted Sandwich which comes with Spring Onion and Sweetcorn (well it does on the Menu!). A 'Chicken' Toasted Sandwich arrived, with very little filling and it tasted more like tuna than chicken. When I asked where was the: Mayo, Sweetcorn and Spring Onion, I was told "We don't include them in case you are allergic". Surly I would not have ordered it or told the waitress not to include something if I was? At least the waitress could have told me to tell them each and every ingredient I wanted in my toasted sandwich? 3) The toilet facilities are dirty, and really not nice. Also noticed areas in front of house which were not clean e.g under collection of tea pots behind the counter. Will not be returning here.

As good a breakfast as you'll get anywhere, proper thick bacon, a good sausage, not deep fried like a lot of places do, a runny fried egg, which for some reason is hard for some places, and it was hot. Definitely going back and highly recommended, good service also

Went here for breakfast before match today. Expensive with small portions, although food was ok. Tea pot only half full, although small pot of hot water also provided. Why not fill the tea pot up as well? Just about finished our drinks, when we were asked to pay our bill now as there were other people waiting! The people who were waiting subsequently walked across the road to Babs Cafe, which is where we should have probably gone in the first place.... For the record there were four of us having breakfast, so a decent spend.

I initially decided to try the Silver Goose as it has good access, and with a large pram i find i am limited as to where i can go in the precinct. I was very pleasantly surprised, not just with the food and drink, but how welcoming the restaurant owners are. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were excellent with the children. We came in as strangers and left as friends. We have been to the Silver Goose a few times now and I would never go anywhere else. In fact, even if the pram did not fit, I would have done my best to have found a way. And i have no doubt at all that Andrew would have gone out of his way to help.Thank you Tanya and Andrew for making happy memories for the boys x

I used to go to this cafe every week, but never again. I had been to the haidresser and fancied a roast dinner, pork or lamb being advertised on two boards outside the door.The lady was polite, but the owner came charging from the kitchen ranting that I couldn't arrive at quarter to four and expect a hot meal. However I could have a sandwich!So why were the boards outside? The cafe was empty, and another shopkeeper said it is like that most of the time now because of the owner's rudeness. Supposedly the business is for sale and the owner doesn't care anymore.The lady suggested cold ham and chips, but the damage was done, and I left.

We have visited the Silver Goose on many occasions for coffee and a piece of their superb cake, of which there is always an excellent choice. We decided today to have lunch here and were very pleased with our meal. My wife and I had the cottage pie with a selection of vegetables which were cooked to perfection and very tasty. Our lad had the monster burger which was just that, super meaty and tasty in a fresh cheesey roll with bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato and as for the chips beautifully chunky and golden and plenty of them!! For afters we had coffee which is always hot and very nice and a piece of cake. which was naughty but nice. The lady and gentleman that run the café are always friendly and welcoming and we look forward to visiting. If you are in St. Marychurch The Silver Goose is well worth a visit.

Nice cafe in St Marychurch. Good home cooking, hot and fresh. Staff were very sweet to my elderly mother

Very enjoyable lunch - great food, friendly service and a lovely ambiance. We chose from the lunchtime specials menu and had very nice roast meals.

We recently had a family lunch for 19 people including 8 vegetarians and 4 children for my father's 90th birthday. Andrew and Tanya were so helpfull suggesting different dishes to suit everyone and the food was delicious. They helped to make our special day a great success.

Visited this cafe today, first impressions the cafe looked friendly, lady member of staff very polite. It was overly cold in the cafe which I believe, causes people not to be relaxed whilst eating. We ordered cheese burger and chips on a bap, the food came out about 25 minutes later, the burgers were excellent, but the chips were typical frozen chips, which were bland. If the proprietor upgraded to better chips he would have a great dish. I would certainly pay a little more for good quality chips.Would love to try evening food as a comparison, apart from that I believe this place could become a great place in time.

Love this place, take your own wine, amazing food with a large variety of dishes, highly recommended x

We were delighted with Andrew & Tanya's special attention to make our evening dinner such a treat. They know their stuff - local fresh & delicious items, fine coffee & a friendly atmosphere.

We had a sausage bap each to start the day. Lovely baps filled with two quality sausages. Friendly, chatty staff - even the chef! Great value :-)

We stayed in St Marychurch so this was an ideal place to visit. The coffee was delicious. The star was the cream tea though- couldn't keep away- the best we've ever had. Hot scones made with butter, generous delicious clotted cream and plenty of jam. This is how cream teas should be! Lovely service and a very nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Visiting St Mary Church and had a lovely breakfast at The Silver Goose. Sat outside with our dogs. Ham egg and chips delicious as was the breakfast. Sausages really tasty. Lovely coffe and a good pot of tea. Lady serving was very pleasant and checked that we enjoyed our meal. Would defo come again.

I was visiting the area on a family holiday and we decided to stop off here for some lunch. I'm glad that we did, because the food was lovely! There was plenty of choice but I just went for the cream tea and my mum had an omelette. Both were really very good and my mum was still talking about the omelette today, a month later, after experiencing a really bad impression of one in a supermarket cafe today! The one at The Silver Goose was far superior. And the portions of clotted cream and jam were just right on the cream tea. Service was friendly too. Yes there was a table that was being used as an office as one user was so happy to point out but I find that sort of thing amusing. The food was hearty and that's the main thing.

A nice quiet restaurant. We arrived around 12:30 and saw they had 'all day breakfast' on the menu. So we got our tea and coffee and ordered eggs Benedict - we were told 5 minutes later that they would not be making this as they stopped doing breakfast because they thought they were going to have a busy lunch. A little disappointing as both eggs and bacon were also included in different areas of the lunch menu. But the service we received was good and the replacement food was adequate however we left feeling a little bit disappointed on our first visit here.

I've been here twice and I have enjoyed the food, the coffee, the tea. However, the service by one of the waitresses is seriously off putting and I have made a decision not to go back because of it. She is earnest but in her effort to be so comes across as unfriendly and awkward; a warm welcome is certainly not there!

The menue reflects the owners biography - a mix of English staples and French Love for food. Highly recommended. We enjoyed our good salad and fried shrimps and a fantastic dessert (especially the French specialties).

Looking for lunch and the menu in the window reads well - enough to tempt us in.Lots of the tables were reserved (unusual for a lunchtime cafe) so we sat at the only remaining table of 4 at the back. This was next to a makeshift office - another table piled up with paperwork, books and a laptop - really out of place in what presented as a restaurant from the outside.The waitress came over and asked if we wanted menus (not sure what else we would have wanted!) and by the time she came back with them we'd changed our mind.Staff were pleasant but felt the owners are undecided between cafe and restaurant - and please get rid of that dump!

Our recent stay in Torquay was pretty poor from the coffee angle until we had one at the Silver Goose at St Mary Church, what a different story !Fabulous coffee.

Came in with three young children and order messed up - kitchen misunderstood we had ordered for five and served only two lunches. Very slow getting the two lunches we initially got ( cheese toasties- hardly an effort!). We had to ask where the rest of the food was - no one queried why only two meals to a table of five. Took nearly an hour from entering to leaving to get 4x cheese toasties and a cheese on toast. Even better - place was empty when we arrived and three staff on (including chef). Vague apology and no attempt to resolve. Children very hungry. Probably a one off looking at good reviews, but would avoid again.

This is a great little coffee/ cafe. That has great coffee and a great atmosphere. If your in town drop by and have yourself a treat!!

Super friendly welcome, creamy and settled. All looks home made and appears to be tasty. Excellent for a homely warm snack or lunch .The website said that is closed today but not at all is open and ready.

Stumbled upon this little treasure on the way to Model Village. Ordered a breakfast which was lovely. All local produce and the service was great.

My parents visited this cafe last week and told me it was the best Eggs Benedict they have ever had, they said the coffee was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. My partner and I happened to be passing yesterday afternoon and popped in close to closing time. The owners were delightful, even though we were probably keeping them. I had coffee and walnut cake which was perfectly moist and full of flavour and my partner had a chicken panini, which as usually a very fussy eater he loved, saying the chicken mayonnaise was creamy and full of flavour and the salad was fresh and crunchy.The coffee however was the real star of the show. The best flat white I have had in a long time. The coffee beans are unique to this cafe and are roasted by a man in the local area (they are also available to buy from the cafe at a very reasonable price for the quality, which we have done!)We spoke to one of the owners for quite a while and he told us all about the cafe and local area, he is a very interesting and likeable person, with a great cafe. We plan to make this a regular place for us to visit and try more of the food.

Lovely little cafe on a quaint old high street. Great tasting food and lovely surroundings. Well worth a visit.

I have just had the eggs benedict with ciabatta and I have to say that it wasn't just the best Eggs Benedict that I have had but it was good enough to claim the title of the best breakfast ever. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were very friendly and accommodating for my wife picking some food that was not in the set menu. Great food and highly recommended.

Four for Breakfast. Eggs Benedict all round. I have previously mentioned to my friends just how good this dish is at the Silver Goose. Well we are all on holiday in the bay and therefore decided to enjoy this dish for our breakfast. Prepared and presented to a very high standard by Andrew. Your server, Holly, I think, is delightful, a 5 star find. Thank You.

Had been told about the daily roast meal. A friend & I tried it. Very good quality food, was impressed - spit roast lamb with really crunchy roast potatoes and three veg- all very artistically arranged on the plate. Great coffee and tea. Realistically priced, with a smaller OAP option on the main meal.

We visited today on a Monday lunchtime . We're here from Cowbridge South Wales - lovely young server - genuine welcome , Well done her ! She made a delightful thick milkshake and superb tasting coffees . We can be slaves to Costa and Neros , but her barista skills far outweighed these uninspiring chains . My husband commented it was one of the nicest Lattes he had had in a long while . Chef was very accommodating serving eggs benedict at 1.30pm for my daughter who had never tried it but cleared the plate ! The omelette was light fluffy and delicious and they didn't skimp on the ham . I had the chicken soup . Heaven . Can still taste its rich flavours now . Thank you for letting our Bichon Frise stay in the cafe under the table and the thoughtful bowl of water that was offered . We will be back for lunch and are going to try the cream teas ! Thank you again for a lovely lunch . Rachel .

Visited the silver goose in May .the staff were polite and ready to serve, we order our meals and only a short wait later we were presented with some fresh clean meals , there was nothing I could fault with our meals , would recommend to anyone .the price was less than expected for a quality meal and service .

Just passing by tempted in by the decor so glad we did the Devon cream and jam scones were perfect also the best coffee we have had in a while well worth a visit

Went here for breakfast and it was really good. Fresh breakfast, generous portions and great tasting food. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth visiting. Also had lunch and that was good. In the St. Marychurch precinct,nice location.

Early tea with our girls and my parents, even though they were due to close in about 30 minutess they stayed open for us and we're happy to serve us. Nick and my father engaged in conversations about photography as they were both retired pro's. Nick was also keen to share his knowledge in relation to the various photos and models of planes scattered around the place. Superb ambience great coffee and just about 2 of the nicest café proprieters' I have ever met.

To anyone who happens to be in the precinct area, and is craving for a good quality large beef burger. Then, I recommend stopping at the Silver Goose, for their ''monster burger''. This burger is fairly large in size, and packed full with enough ingredients. The taste is tactile and delightfully rich. Very satisfying burger, also ideal to have for brunch. Because of it's generous size and heaviness.Do bare in mind, the monster burger is also served with chunky chips.The owners and staff present decent manners, and show no signs of rudeness.

Just had a lovely breakfast at the Silver Goose. Fascinating chatting to the owner Andrew Thomas who happens to be a renowned professional photographer, an entertaining character who used to live in France and has a wealth of interesting stories. The cafe is decorated with examples of his work and is highly recommended as a change to the usual cafe/restaurant in Torquay.

We happened upon the Silver Goose quite by chance, as were visiting nearby attractions and looking for somewhere to eat at lunchtime. A glance at the menu made it look coming in to, and i'm glad that we did!The food was all well prepared, and delicious. The service was good, and child friendly, which always makes trips out with children so much easier! The food was mostly cafe fare for lunchtime, but done excellently, which is the most important thing.The chef also came out personally to check if we'd enjoyed our food, which is always a nice touch.Will definitely have lunch here when we're back in the area.

We were in Babbacombe taking the grandchildren to the model village and stopped here for lunch. What a great little place this is, lunch specials included spit-roast beef with roast potatoes and veg (excellent), and cottage pie, also good. There are the usual sorts of café food too. The cakes on display looked very tasty and the coffee is very good indeed. The décor is simple and elegant featuring pictures of the Spruce Goose and some stylish cars. The staff are warm and welcoming, it is just a great place to eat. The only mystery is why, on a sunny Saturday, the place wasn't packed out with diners. Their loss.

Really helpful and enthusiastic staff produced an excellent lunch, dessert and coffee on a dwetand dreary day in February. Many thanks!

The Silver Goose is a small establishment serving superb coffee, cakes and light meals during the day which transforms itself into something special in the evenings. Mine host, Andrew, is a perfectionist who lovingly and enthusiastically produces delicious and well presented dishes which really treat the palate. He told me that as a young man he worked as a mining engineer, gave that away to take up a life long passion for photography which provided access to some top rated chefs in France with whom he developed his other lifelong passion, cooking. Andrew will happily share culinary tips with any guest willing to listen and together with his partner, Tanya, they will make your evening exceptional.

We really liked this place - its on the quaint little main street in St Marychurch so lovely setting. The food was very good, all very fresh and well prepared. Also the staff were very friendly and attentive - I had a bit of a coughing fit and the lady went off and brought me a glass of water, without making a thing of it. Very much appreciated! We would definitely go back there again.

We enjoyed a perfect cooked breakfast this morning in this lovely café & restaurant with tasty, high quality ingredients and cooked to absolute perfection. The coffee is well recommended too. Really genuine friendly staff gave perfect service and the environment is ideal - completely clean, with a relaxing and classy ambience, we will be back!

4 adults, 1 child aged 4, 2 infants aged 1 year. We were treated like royalty. The kindness care and attention to detail left us all raving about the place. The food was well presented and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and went the extra mile without having to be asked. The cooked food came out in a timely manner and was hot and fresh. The coffee tasted fab. It was a busy place and they treated everyone else the same. Brilliant customer care. Would highly recommend.

I've eaten here many times and never had a problem. Very clean and helpful, NORMALLY! on this visit I ordered a cheeses burger and I asked for it without mayo and a couple of other bits it stated it comes with as I'm a fussy eater. When it arrived the burger bun was covered in butter (this was not said on the menu and is not normal practice for places to butter there burger rolls!) I brought this up with the waitress who then addressed the chef. His reply to her was "o for god sake " (I was sat by the kitchen door!) Not only did I feel uncomfortable at this point the waitress then returned to say the best she could offer was a new bun. I explained the burger was covered in the butter as well. To cut a long story short I was charged the full price for this burger and even the 50p to add the cheese when it wasn't my fault. Felt very let down and would hesitate to return here again.
