The Singing Kettle in Teignbridge

A lovely little cafe, with good service. Went there for breakfast, food was just okay. Beans were warm (not hot), hashbrowns soggy (although they were replaced on request), and sausages not very tasteful. For the price it wasnt tge quality one would expect

Delicious. We came here 3 times in a week. Gorgeous spaghetti bolognese, sticky toffee pudding and scones. Lovely friendly service.

A tea English tea room. Lovely furnishings and china and staff. Excellent cakes. Good selection of teas.

I had the breakfast and my wife had the ploughman’s. Both were amazing. Thank you

Excellent tea room and restaurant. Really good food and deserts. If you like crumble, they do rhubarb and orange or pear and ginger. Attentive and helpful staff.

Lovely cafe. Very pleasant owner. Can't do enough for you. Good cafe food, excellent value. Carpark is easy walking distance

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Great food

The savoury scone lunch that I was given consisted of one and a half scones with one cherry tomato and a salad leaf. The first scone was cold. The second was still frozen in the centre, so I left it. It was more than £9.

Lovely little place with such friendly staff :) thanks for the nice lunch!

Sat in a lovely garden eating excellent food served by a brilliant smiley waitress

Most pleasant place to have lunch. Food was excellent, very fresh and tasty. We stuffed ourselves with the dish of shrimp and chips, which comes with salad. More than enough to satisfy ourselves at lunchtime. Highly recommend.

Found this gem of a cafe near to town centre.good quality food at reasonable price.nice well kept garden at the rear with tables with parasols.friendly staff providing excellent service.

Lovely cafe (licensed too!) that is dog friendly with delicious, home cooked food. We had both the vegetable and the mushroom soup - really tasty. Only criticism was that the bread rolls, although warm, could have been bigger and maybe a brown bread alternative …. But that apart, it was lovely with tea served in delightfully pretty china cup and saucer .

very good food,atmosphere and realy good service I do recommend this place.

The singing kettle used to be a lovely little place for food especially cream teas, I have fond memories of visiting with my mum and my Nan years ago and not so long ago with my partner and son but unfortunately it’s not what it used to be. What once was a large bustling part of the community and town is now characterless and overpriced. It’s often not open when it states it is which has proven to drive people away, considering some people travel to visit only to be greeted with a “We’re closed sign” on arrival even though websites and signs state they should be open. The lack of consistency and planning going on behind the doors is unfortunately going to mean another amenity that the town has had for years will sadly cease to exist soon, which is very sad. It would be amazing if it could be restored to its former self and continue to be one of the beating hearts of this town!

Proper dog friendly country style tea room, situated in a lovely, quirky market town. Drinks & cake after a lovely walk in local Hembury Woods. Served by friendly attentive staff. All ingredients were homemade, fresh & tasty. Certainly worth a visit .........

Had a wonderful Christmas lunch here to start the season! Delicious meal, served attractively and generously by friendly and helpful staff - thank you - will be back!

Absolutely amazing breakfast! Top quality food!

Walking the dogs with my daughter and her dog and we didn't want to fill the inside with 3 dogs ,the staff quickly wiped down a table in the lovely garden,(round the back) and got chair cushions out . Two lovely breakfasts and drinks quickly followed with treats for the woofs . You can't go wrong . Oh , the veggie breakfast was really nice .

Interia was clean and tidy, we were welcomed in politely. The Tea was presented in a nice matching china set. Ham Egg and Chips, were OK, however the chips were a bit overcooked. The Ploughman's was lacking pickles (such as picked onion, gerkin), and the two packet ham slices were a bit underwhelming for a Ploughman's.

This is a wonderful, friendly little restaurant/cafe. Although my wife and I were only there for coffee, the breakfasts that were being served while we were there looked fantastic, as well as good value. The lunch selection also looked very good and we will definitely go back when we are in the area again. The coffee, by the way, was one of the best that I have had in a very long time.

What an absolutely wonderful experience at the Singing Kettle. We came here a few years ago for coffee and teas and loved the experience. The back garden is a lovely place to sit. Glad we came back for food this time as we weren’t disappointed. The burger was one of the most tasty and juicy I’ve ever had. My partner loved her tuna mayo jacket potato and the scones were delicious. The service is top notch, very friendly and efficient. Will definitely return next time we’re in Devon.

Had a lovely afternoon tea in the garden. Perfect selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Nice gluten free option. Very good value for money and service was lovely (including ice in a water bottle refill).

Incredible cream tea and unfussy, tasty lunch options Really friendly service too.

Best 3 tier morning tea/ lunch ever 😍

This was a sweet little place with only a few tables but as it was quiet we were lucky to get one. We only wanted a snack so ordered a cheese scone which was delicious, when it eventually arrived. Staff were really lovely but service was a little slow. In future, I will always ask for my drink to be brought with my food. Lesson learned. Big plus, the dog was allowed in.

A lovely little cafe, well worth a stop away from the main road services. Friendly staff & people enjoying a morning coffee break. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

Beautifully decorated, cosy café. Amazing breakfast and very frothy coffee! A delight. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place to go and eat, the workers are fantastic and the owner is lovely, totally not a biased review because I work here

We had a delicious breakfast here- the decor is fabulous inside, we felt so comfortable. The waitress was very smiley and pleasant ... I wish we found this place sooner!

Affordable menu and relaxed atmosphere.

We stopped by the Singing Kettle last weekend July 7&8thto find a lovely outside garden at the rear of the cafe,where we were greeted by host Jackie,a smile and warm welcome. We ordered coffee and the homemade cake which Jackie bakes on the premises along with homemade icecream and other cooked dishes. It was yummy,we went back the next day for more,taking my family with me who too loved it. Thank you Jackie for your hospitality, when we are next in Buckfastleigh we will be back for more cake.🍰😊 Best wishes Paul & Gary.

`the cream tea was absolutely divine.. freshly baked with quite a wide choice of food. It was a bit noisy on our visit but who can help having a crying baby? Only 2 people were on staff and so service was slow but I'm sure its not like that always.. Our new 'go to' when we want a proper cream tea. Cream was locally sourced... absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this

Was very hot in Buckfastleigh and the BBQ at the Summer Fayre wasn't even warm yet so we popped into the lovely back garden of the Singing Kettle. Two cold drinks and two lovely prawn baguettes later and we were well happy. This place deserves your time if you are visiting the nearby steam railway or the Butterfly & Otter farm

What a fantastic place to have lunch or a coffee.. The homemade ice cream is the creamiest iv ever eaten . My husband has the cream tea... he swears by it . Highly recommend!!

Visited The Singing Kettle for the first time yesterday, as a treat for my birthday. Absolutely loved it! Beautiful building and very clean inside, very friendly staff, and delicious food! I had a ploughman's lunch, the other half had a homemade beef burger with chips. Very good value for money too. We will definitely be back again! This is my first time reviewing a café/restaurant - I loved it so much I felt I had to!

Highly recommendable cafe. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. Definitely visiting again. I was really impressed

Lovely little tea shop, friendly and the service was very quick. We had a cream tea each and it was excellent, no complaints at all.

Wonderful Devonshire Cream tea served in the garden beautifully presented on decorated bone china crockery .....Marvellous, absolutly fantastic fresh baked scones. Everything you imagine a cream tea to be.

Food was chronic, even the coffee and lemonade was not nice. Filled croissants are supposed to be cooked not these they was filled with cheese and dry. Chips overcooked frozen disgusting things that tasted like they was cooked in old oil and cooked that much there was no filling left in the potatoes. Messed up money and no one was about when we wanted bill. Another couple were in at the same time and they was also complaining about how bad the food was.

Best cream tea (plain scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam) that I've had outside of Claridge's in London. Absolutely legit.

It's a great place for afternoon tea.

Nice veggie breakfast, piping hot for the journey home.

Lovely cafe, definitely recommend

We popped into The Singing Kettle whilst passing through on our way for a weekend stay in the area. We were kindly greeted, seated and served with a lovely pot of tea. We ordered the ham, egg and chips & the ploughman’s lunch - both very lovely. Thank you! We would highly recommend to others to visit :)

Instead of getting the standard hotel breakfast we thought we'd try this place and were not disappointed. 3 of us had the blueberry & bacon pancakes and they were lovely. Also the coffee was very good. It was so good we had some cake as well. The lunch menu also looked yummy. If we do come back to the area we will definitely eat here again. Staff and service was excellent.

I had my 70th birthday tea party here which I arranged with Jackie in advance. She was so helpful in the planning, and provided the most delicious tea for 12 of us just as I had asked. The scones and cake were outstanding and all served with a smile by Jackie and her team. It was a wonderful party in every way. I highly recommend the Singing Kettle and will certainly be returning. Thank you Jackie for such a memorable afternoon.

My wife and I had a delicious full english breakfast. Purfectly cooked with great friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Would highly recommended the Singing Kettle.

Lovely homemade food and cakes. Relaxed atmosphere with a warm welcome. Cakes were colourfully hand decorated by the waitress.

A quaint little restaurant, our daughter took us here as a Mother's Day treat, very welcoming, dog friendly. We had a great meal, our dog was spoilt with treats and we were offered a free dessert which made it even more delicious. I would certainly recommend a visit to this establishment.

We placed the car on charge and wanted a quick bite and a cup of tea. The quick was not met as we waited an age for the meal which was still frozen in the centre and only two of us you would think it hard to get it wrong but they did bring out the wrong food. Having waited so long we just kept what they delivered. Even the bill was wrong they could try to stop chatting in the kitchen and take more time to work.

Lovely little cafe in the heart of a lovely little town.

Lovely breakfast, went for the double, was really good and value for money. Problem with 2 orders for a party of 8 but probably not expecting a full restaurant on a Sunday morning in January. Would visit again

Orders were so messed up a simple request of no beans on a breakfast apparently was just to hard it carry out. We were a party of eight which got there meals an hour apart. Eventually one of our party just accepted the breakfast with...

We pre booked a table for breakfast and sadly despite having done so, our order was taken some time after we arrived, it came out over an hour after we ordered and when it did arrive, it was missing items. We requested them and they were then brought to us. By then however, we were really hungry. Quite understand that it was likely a busy service, but would have really appreciated notice of a potential wait when we arrived. Pretty interior though.

What a lovely place and lovely people, close to closing time and they were willing to stay open while we had a lovely warming hot Chocolate. Many thanks, we will be back. 🥰👍

Hidden gem, very accommodating to our large family group. Delicious food. Thank you.

Süßes kleines Restaurant mit günstigen Preisen und guten Portionen. Tolles Ambiente!

Great staff who work hard. Good food and service even though they were short staffed and busy when we visited.

A gem of a place in the picturesque centre of Buckfastleigh. Wonderful cooked on the premises food, cosy surroundings and great service. Also excellent value for money. What's not to like.

Lovely little place. Full cream tea shared between two people was perfect. Friends staff,reasonable prices and good quality food. What more do you need :-)

What an absolute gem The Singing Kettle is on Buckfastleigh High Street. We had a full afternoon tea with a glass of prosecco. Freshly made sandwiches, gorgeous selection of homemade cakes. Jackie the owner was so friendly and welcoming. A great menu and cannot recommend...

Loved out visit. The food was amazing and locally sourced, the staff were incredibly lovely and funny, and the atmosphere of the place was very welcoming. Would love to come again

A lovely place that is spotlessly clean. The food was fantastic and the service second to none. Would definitely recommend going to this tearoom

Lovely place for a cream tea. Found it by luck & wasn't disappointed. Homemade scones are great & served hot which was great. Very friendly staff. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

We were looking for lunch for 5. We were delighted to find a gem with such interesting menu. All lovely fresh food. We visit this area regularly and will definitely choose this restaurant again.

Lovely welcome. Very pleasant owners. Really helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. I had the ploughman’s and my friend had a jacket potato. Both very good portions and a good price

Never felt more ripped off. Other customers ordered milkshakes and we thought that’d make a change on a hot day. Whilst they weren’t on the menu, I assumed they’d be £2.50-£3.00.They weren’t the best. Half a pint of cool, not cold, milk, mixed with too much cheap syrup. They were very artificial tasting, Although they did add a split strawberry to the rim of the glass “for that continental touch”. We went to pay and were shocked to be told it was £11 for the 2. Pointing out a sign near the entrance with the price on. What an absolute disgrace. Half a pint of tepid milk, drop of flavoured syrup and a strawberry for £5.50. Who decided on this price? Outrageous, you should be ashamed 😩😩😩

Excellent breakfast and very friendly service. Called in for a full breakfast on a Saturday morning and had really good, local produce, nicely presented and excellent coffee to boot. Would highly recommend.

Good coffee, nice cake, friendly staff.

We stopped off here after a two day hike on Dartmoor – I have to say the place is extremely welcoming and attentive, and the food was excellent. A little hidden gem that was a very welcome relief to these two tired travellers.

Very nice and friendly service and I will come for a drink and food see you soon

Best oat cappuccino I’ve had in England so far. Very friendly staff and clientele, such a cute place. I ordered eggs on toast and they offered me extra veggie sausages and extra slice of bread.

Staff very friendly, food looked very good, (ploughman's?) Will go back to try one, beer very good, (San Miguel) cold and crisp just as it should be, even got free crisps,

Lovely breakfast,service is slow though .Worth a visit.

We are on Vacation in Buckfastleigh, and came across this Lovely Restaurant in the High Street. Had a Great Breakfast, and Tea with Bone China Teapot and Cups. And the Vegetarian Breakfast was THE BEST, Absolutely faultless. Great service too. Will be back for sure,...

Was out walking our dogs and passed the Singing Kettle, weather was good and their garden out the back is a peaceful place , so 2 hot drinks and 2 lovely veggie breakfasts were happily consumed . So if you visiting the nearby Abbey or...

Disappointing! They were busy, admittedly, but the service was offhand to the point of approaching Fawlty Towers - the waitress wouldn’t give me a receipt so just walked off mid conversation, among other things. The young serving staff didn’t seem to have any training in customer service and acted borderline rude to me and other customers. My ham egg and chips came as two thin slices of ham which seemed to have come straight out of a packet - no locally-produced fresh produce here. I probably caught them on an off day but I won’t be going back.

Just popped in for a coffee but very hospitable and a nice setting

Called today after a long wet walk. The staff could not have been more friendly. The tea and coffee was excellent and served in lovely China. The specials board was great, and reasonably priced. They obviously take a pride in what they do, and rightly...

This chocolate be finna bussin bussin but a lil chocolaty

Really lovely place. Very welcoming, extremely helpful and friendly staff. Very clean. Home made fresh food. Absolutely delicious! Just passing through on our way from Devon back to Dorset. If we're in the area again will definitely call in.

Amazing afternoon tea! Everything was homemade and delicious. Really friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!!!

Stopped for lunch, including delicious cake (Bakewell tart) and hot drinks. Generous portions. The decor is beautiful too. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too (unfortunately we didn't have our dogs with us this time but they would love the friendly atmosphere...

Delicious home-cooked food, delightful, friendly staff. Lovely decor and quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Dog-friendly too!

Lovely food, great portion sizes and friendly staff. Will definitely be back again.

Friendly, fresh food, lovely cosy atmosphere!

Amazing food, great friendly staff and so helpful! Definitely going back!

Very nice friendly place, good food

This place is absolutely wonderful! Super cosy, delicious food and the best cup of tea in a while in a cute high tea China set, and the loveliest service! We were greeted instantly by a super friendly waiter called Sam. He was so lovely, attentive...

Really enjoyed a great breakfast with a friendly atmosphere and warmth from the log burner.

We happened to walk by and decided to pop in. I had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup . They were delicious. One more might have been nice. My husband had a big breakfast and enjoyed every single mouthful. It looked delicious. Very friendly...

Homemade Beefburger and tea, perfect

I visited on Friday at approximately 1430 and ordered a rather large order for a family of 5! I was greeted by a lovely young lady (I didn't catch her name), I gave her my order and asked me to take a seat and my...

Had the best afternoon tea. Lovely staff

Shown in alongside another group. Sat down, and given a menu. The other group had their order taken immediately. Other couples came in and were seen to, we were completely ignored. Walked out without a word being said to us. Waste of time.

We stopped on our bikes for a coffee & cake and were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely coffee with oat milk, delicious homemade carrot cake, and the service was exceptional, we sat in a pretty little garden, perfect to keep an eye on our bikes, would...

We decided to avoid Exeter Services on the way home and stopped here after 2 weeks in Cornwall and what great decision that was - a percfect end to our trip. We enjoyed a lovely Cream tea and a chat with the owner/staff member who...

Quaint little cafe. Good food. Friendly service. Limited opening times so check. Well worth a visit

Popped in today with hubby. Had coronation chicken baguette & chips shared between us in the prettiest garden with excellent service.
