The Tramstop Restaurant in East Devon

A super little cafe with a wide menu and very friendly staff. The tram station is picture perfect and always looks lovely whenever we visit. Recommended.

A lovely café with an extensive menu which often includes specials-crab cakes the day we visited. My ham baguette was generously filled and came with a fresh, colourful side salad and crisps. My wife enjoyed a delicious park, apple sauce stuffing bap. Service was prompt, everywhere clean and tidy, and the coffe was good. Thoroughly recommend a trip on the tram and a bite to eat here.

The food was absolutely lovely and the portion size was much bigger than we expected. The drinks were good and the breakfast was very tasty and we liked that it’s locally sourced.

Best cream tea ever. Two massive scones, baked to perfection, very generous servings of delicious jam and clotted cream and tea. The setting is lovely, particularly where we ate in a conservatory-type area at the rear. Lovely helpful staff. Spotlessly clean. 'Can't wait to visit again. I will dream of this clotted cream tea for weeks on end.

We visited for lunch whilst on a day out on the Seaton Tramway. Arrived at the same time as a tram full of people all wanting to eat at the same time so were expecting a long wait - how wrong can you be! Whilst we had to queue to order, the efficiency of the staff was amazing in both the ordering process and the delivery of the food. All the staff were very friendly, and worked very well as a team. A real pleasure to watch! There was a good choice of food, everywhere was spotless, and the food was lovely & good value for money. We had toasted sandwiches, cheesy chips and a chip butty. The cream tea looked lovely, as did the food other people were eating. All this, and in a lovely setting too where you can watch the trams or sit in the conservatory out back. It was so good we will return, even when we don't want a day out on the trams!

Great selection of gluten free cakes, separate fryer and a could do most items gluten free. Nice little spot with lots of tables. Wide menu selection from soups to main meals to cream teas.

Very reasonable menu. We only had lattes but very nice . Searing inside but as it was sunny we sat on the tables on the platform so we could watch the trams coming and going.

This cafe is situated in the most beautiful train station I've ever seen. They have an extensive and informative menu, which also tells you about events they run on the trams. They're very understanding of allergies and intolerances here - I think it's the most understanding place I've ever been to! They can provide an Allergen menu on request. We sat in the lovely Garden Room - a long conservatory with a view of plants on one side. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Service was fast despite them being so busy, the portions were very generous and my West Country ham, eggs and chips was delicious. A real asset to the tramway. Highly recommended!

Avoid the Tea Cakes! Visited today with my wife and 80 year old Mom, we had drinks n snacks Tea, Filter Coffee and Hot Chocolate were fine as were the large warm Sausage rolls but avoid the toasted tea cake- my mom’s arrived cremated and was uneatable

We decided to find somewhere local for breakfast as a treat and decided to visit the Tramstop Cafe. We are so glad we did. The breakfast was delicious and served piping hot. I’m sure we shall be returning very soon.

Amazing food, we have never had a bad meal. Recommend the breakfasts and the toasties for lunchtime. The milkshakes are an amazing treat to have.

A lovely freshly cooked breakfast and a lovely mug of tea. A local sausage, two rashers of tasty bacon , one free range egg,tomato, beans . sauté potatoes and toast! Great value for money. Friendly staff, clean premises. 👍👍👍

Stopped for breakfast and tea during our stay in Colyton. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food was so fresh. The cream teas are huge with x 2 scones wow .

Called in for a light lunch and wasnt disappointed. Egg mayo sandwich very tasty and nicely presented with crisps and a small fresh salad, son had a vegan falafal wrap which was presented on a large fresh salad. Ladies serving in the cafe very helpful and pleasent. We ate our lunch sat outside at a picnic table on the platform, which was lovely as you could see the trams come and go. All in all a very good experiance.

Clean and well presented, enjoyed our visit. the staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. Would be visiting again in the near future. 5*

Got off the tram where it terminated for a light lunch. Overall the lunch was good, although definitely specialise in certain items like the cream tea. I had a ploughman’s and it was basic. Only real criticism was the size of the queue to order. Although food is delivered everything else is collection and this was a fairly long process when busy. However staff were lovely and defo worth a visit at the end of a ride

Absolutely delicious cream teas! The scones are huge and lots of cream and jam is included. Everything is cooked very well and stuff are friendly. Prices are reasonable too. Also a nice gift shop next door

I couldn't praise this place highly enough! It is a bit Tardis like, there is a lot more room inside than you would think. I've been and eaten here twice now, both inside and out. A few weeks ago I had the all day breakfast and wow, it was superb. Hot, beautifully cooked and perfect. And not expensive!!! I wish I had this place nearer to where I lived. If I lived nearer I would be there all the time. Here's a dreadful confession, I also had cake after the all day breakfast, and though I could hardly walk afterwards, this meal was the best I had all week.

Booked a return trip from Seaton to Colyton on the tram. Arrived at The Tramstop café at about 1230 and went in for a snack. My wife had a Latte coffee and I had tea. Food consisted of Toasted sandwiches Brie and Cranberry and cheese and ham. both nicely cooked and came with a small side salad and some crisp's. really enjoyed . Covid precautions in place and plenty of room. Service very good. did have a sign that they were short of staff so might be a delay in the food, but we did not find any problem. walked into the village of Colyton after about a 10 minute walk and then caught tram back to Seaton

Stopped for lunch between tram ride, jacket potato’s were lovely and good price very clean and COVID-19 secure

Took serious advantage of the government Eat Out scheme this morning and took our boys for breakfast here. We all thoroughly enjoyed our cooked food. Both the meat, and veggie sausages, were amongst the best we'd ever had. The meat ones are from the local butcher and the veggie ones are full of, well, veggies (no fake meat to be seen!). Despite being comfortably full, we could not resist sharing two cream teas between the four of us! Pure gluttony but so, so worth it. The scones were fresh out of the oven and the cream was clotted and the jam was fruity (you're getting the picture?). As well as the food being great, the service was too. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Stopped off for some refreshments after exploring Colyton. We were able to sit outside and watch the old trams come and go. A perfect half hour.

Lovely café with friendly staff at Colyton Station. Stopped here for lunch before getting the tram back to Seaton. Wide range of food choices. Fast and friendly service. The garden rooms at the back are very light and was a pleasant lunch stop.

We stopped here for lunch after going on the Tram and walking around Colyton. The staff were super friendly and the food was nice and homely. Brilliant value and quick service!

We called here while we were travelling on the pirate tram! (That’s another review!!) Before we caught our tram back we had time to call in for coffee and cake! The staff were very friendly and it was clean and tidy..there are plenty of tables outside for when the suns shinning..Great little place to stop off..

I took a round trip on the Tram from Colyton to Seaton and back . Had lunch in the Tramstop Cafe in Colyton.The staff were very good. One member of staff came and gave special attention to my dog by giving him a doggy biscuit. Another member took the time to speak to my dad who was in his mid eighties, which made him very happy . Just generally treated people with care and attention . The food was also good ! The Tram ride was good. So overall fantastic ! Please SUPPORT them by having breakfast or lunch there rather than in other big concerns ! Go on the Trams !!!! Buy a souvenir,Or simply give them a small donation !!! Oh , thanks again for the good service by the staff !!!

Visited the tram station in Colyton it offers excellent tea rooms and rides on the tram to Seaton Tram stop a few miles away alongside the river. Great to experience a bygone era of tram travel whilst enjoying the views over the river and sighting the birds along the way. Seaton Tram station appears to offer a range of evening entertainment music etc. from time to time I guess you look them up online to book.

This was recommended but the food was pretty average. We had crab cakes and chips and it was pretty average. The tram stop itself was really interesting and it looks like a good day out for the kids.

Stopped off here at the end of the Seaton tram ride. Cafe has a captive audience as other than the antiques and collectables barn, there was nothing much else to to but have a cup of tea and ride back. Had to clear our own table, service was non-existent. Husband disliked the filter coffee and the teapot for two was only half full. Slice of cake was a slice of cake. At least the dog got a drink of water. Very pretty station with a gift shop.

Had a break from riding the trams. Excellent, locally made carrot cake, & a good cup of coffee was just tops!

What a lovely station to stop at and have a wonderful CREAM TEA served with big smiles.The CREAM TEA is one of the best we have had and a really great price.You just must have one.And if you need the ladies you just have to see it great pictures of all the trams on the walls and so CLEAN. As you can see in the pictures I took.Such a pretty station and good for sitting in SUN while waiting for next TRAM back.

Did the Tramway and we departed from Colyton, Free parking here. Brilliant trip to Seaton and just as good returning. Felt a bit peckish and decided to eat here and it was brilliant. Staff very pleasant and helpful, food was served in good time and was 10/10. We had a selection of meals and every meal was excellent.

We arrived to early for the first train of the day and waited in the cafe with a nice cup of coffee and a hot chocolate. We often go on the tram way and prefer the cafe at the Colyton end. Although we haven’t sampled the food what we have seen on other people’s plates always looks good

Stopped for lunch here and were not disappointed. Reasonably priced. and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Enjoying a family trip on the Seaton Railway we hopped off at Colyton and called in to the Tramstop Restaurant Friendly and helpful staff Enjoyed a delicious home cooked cream tea - we will be back

Your choice on arrival at Colyton is to choose The Tramstop cafe or walk into town which has several pubs and an old fashion English Tea Room .Its 15 minutes to town and 15 minutes back plus you have to order and eat food . Time limitation may mean eating in the Tramstop or on the platform and spending time browsing the antique centre .Foods good for a quick snack

End of the Seaton Tramway, in a lovely restored old Southern Railway country station. Have a cup of tea or a picnic lunch on the platform, surrounded by flower boxes, while you wait for the next tram back to Seaton.

We had a sandwich that was excellent and came with salad. We had coffee too. It was reasonably priced and the added advantage that you could watch the trams go by too.

very good cream tea- dog friendly place-makes life a lot easier when traveling with two dogs. Pre booked on Thursday with two tram tickets -this was very good value.

The tramstop is in the station building at the tram station in Colyton, which is the last stop on the line. It is a typical attraction cafe, but serves good food, nice cakes and good coffee and tea. Very convenient if you want refreshments either before or after visiting Colyton via the tramway.

As part of a day out on Seaton Tramway this can't be beaten. It's at the end of the line and a great place to eat and wait for your tram back to Seaton. Also a good antique shop on the other side of the track with a very well stocked vinyl record collection/selection!

Took refreshments here while we waited for a return tram to Seaton. Very friendly staff and a good selection of snacks. Cakes and buns are made here and are not for those trying to slim - be like us and enjoy them!!

I attended a private birthday celebration here today and couldn't have wished for a better welcome or more delicious snacks. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and I had a very enjoyable coffee and superb freshly-baked fruit scone and butter. My friend had a very large flapjack and shared some with me and that was very nice too. Oh and my other friends gave me a sample of their plain garlic bread and cheesy garlic bread (didn't I do well?!) and they were also excellent.

Came here for lunch after completing a round trip on the tram. Very busy so had a bit of a wait to order but good didn't take long to come. Sandwiches and ploughmans was ordered and all were thoroughly enjoyed

We went here for the famous cream tea and they were very patient with us as we were ordering for ten with varying different requests. The cream teas were amazing and much appreciated.

Had the most delicious Ardennes pate for lunch. Returned later in the afternoon for a truly delicious cream tea. 10/10

The Tramstop Restaurant attached to the Colyford end of the tramline offers a good selection of food, and some massive scones as part of the cream tea. They are not offended if you cannot finish either the scones, jam or cream - they will provide a take-away bag! It has been said before, but I urge people to stop off here in order to take advantage of the food, the well kept station with its gift shop - and also for the men, the male toilets on the platform (worth a smile)!

We arrived by tram and decided to eat lunch at this place. We all chose a cream tea but when we saw the two huge scones we quickly changed our order to two teas plus two extra drinks! They were delicious! The staff were extremely helpful in meeting our request.

You can stop here to watch the trams coming and going or whilst waiting to take the tram back to Seaton. You walk through the shop to the restaurant and either eat indoors or outside. Depending on the time of day you can enjoy scones and cream, large yorkshires filled with sausages, mash etc, or just enjoy a sandwich, tea and cake. Its all part of the tram experience and lovely to watch the different trams pulling in. Quick, friendly service.

Enjoyed afternoon tea with nice homemade scones + jam & clotted cream, before our return tram journey to Seaton.

Good selection on the menu for both adults and children but nothing out of the ordinary. Some tables outside to watch the arrival and departure of the trams

We caught the tram from Seaton and got a tad wet and cold on the trip down so were grateful to have a warm place to enjoy a bite to eat. It was busy but there were plenty of staff and the food came quickly after ordering so a surprisingly smooth experience for the 6 of us. Food was simple - paninis, jacket potatoes, bacon rolls etc but very tasty and just the ticket to keep the kids happy.

Had a stop here just for drinks as we had a picnic. The food was so reasonably priced and the cakes were gorgeous, lovely milkshakes too.

Even though they rather corner the market (unless you wander into Colyton itself) this café provides excellent home made food at reasonable prices. We much enjoyed our tea and scones as we paused having arrived from Seaton on the tram, prior to the return journey.

Reasonably priced, clean and handy for a stop of after/before you travel on the tram. Beware the cream tea - 2 generous sized scones but only enough jam/ cream to use on 1. Can purchase more at £1 each!!

Called in for a bite to eat and drink, very nice. Had a look at the small station, you can cross the line and have a look at the antique centre, ok but have seen better, but like I said the restaurant is very good

We eat here whenever we do a visit to the Tramway with our autistic son, we visit several times a year and have done so for years. This place has NEVER disappointed ; )

The coffee was piping hot and needed as it wasn't a particularly hot day and fortified me for the journey back upstairs on the tram. There is a smallish shop within the building

Starting the ride on Seaton Tramway at this end of the line offers free parking, and the chance of a cuppa and a bite to eat before and after the ride to Seaton seafront.

What a lovely little cafe and what a lovely way to spend mothers day travelling from Seaton to Colyton and back . Food really nice and staff very friendly . Will definatly return

had an all day breakfst here and enjoyed along with the tram trips. Staff kind, jolly and helpful. Thanks

Visited tram way and antiques centre. Fabulous Tramway and great that you get to stop get a bite to eat in lovely surroundings on your ride on the tram and a mooch around the Antique Centre on the other side of tracks! We even went home with a couple of pieces

Very nice seating area and good food selection. Pot of tea lovely. Nice prices too :) Always nice selection of cakes and hot food as well. Basic but good no frills cafe with a great service. Can get very busy during holiday times.

Got off the tram here and wanted a light lunch so went into their cafe. Lovely friendly staff and a big menu. I chose a ham and cheese panini and a cuppa. It arrived quickly and was a lovely hot panini with plenty of filling along with some crisps and salad and a lovely hot mug of tea. Fabulous. I have added a pic of my lunch but had started to eat my panini!

Lovely tram ride from Seaton to Colyton through beautiful countryside to the Tramstop restaurant all the food is very reasonably priced scones cakes etc are baked on the premises ,have visited several times always look forward to the restaurant.

Stopped here at end of tram ride. Nice friendly Restaurant with extra seating on platform. As the weather was good we decided to eat outside. Hit by plague of wasps and doing the usual swiping dance dropped sweater in dog bowl ! Retreated indoors and thinking we were returning empty tray nearly had remains of the Cream Tea taken away. However it was excellent and all the problems were of our own making ! Head indoors if wasp season prevails !

Friendly staff, great prices and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Cream tea contained 2 very large scones (fruit or plain), just from the oven, as well as choice of beverage. Sandwiches equally good. Hot food also available. Plenty of free parking.

Tuvimos un día precioso en Seaton y fuimos a la parada del tranvía restaurante para el almuerzo. Mi amigo y yo tuvimos un almuerzo muy bien y era un precio muy razonable. El restaurante estaba muy limpia y tenía un ambiente agradable y acogedor. El...

Tomamos el té y pastel aquí como parte de la "experiencia especial Hadas tranvía. Teníamos una preciosa taza y el pastel era increíble. Sin duda vale la pena visitarlo. El restaurante tenía un aspecto encantador, estábamos en el conservatorio que había sido poco especialmente decoradas...

Comimos dos veces en este restaurante encantador, limpio y bien dirigido. Latte son deliciosos y sin duda recomiendo el té helado: necesitábamos un doggy bag para tomar una enorme bollo, crema y mermelada a casa para comer al día siguiente. Gracias señorías por la hospitalidad.

Mi pareja y yo visitamos Devon para un fin de semana largo y nos hecho la experiencia del tranvía que fue brillante en sí misma, entonces paramos en esta pequeña delicia.

Great place I've not been here since I was 17 , friendly staff, nice setting . There were 13 of us on our cycle today and the staff were brilliant worked very quickly to serve us all . Plenty of seating and space outside to put our bikes .

I enjoyed a cream tea at the tramway during the summer, it was nice to sit back and watch the world go by.

Simple meals, cakes and gifts, I love the tramway cafe. You can eat outside on the pretty platform, dogs allowed, or sit inside comfortably. Check opening times. Great for kids. Summer is fab, with tram rides to and from Seaton, along the estuary, take your binoculars up on top deck!

We called into the Tramstop Cafe last week when we were on the Seaton Tramway Halloween Tram of Terror. The tram was very enjoyable and the staff went all out to ensure a lovely experience for all. The cafe was very busy and on entering we headed for the crafts which were included with the Halloween package. The cafe lady in this section was exceptionally rude and confrontational when I explained we hadn't got wristbands, we had tickets for the Halloween tram as I repeatedly explained. The cafe lady I felt was very rude and confrontational, implying that I was trying to get something we hadn't paid for, we hadn't been given wrist bands as a simple oversight I'd imagine as when we were buying the tickets the kiosk lady was busy ensuring my young daughter's mobility needs would be met as she was in her wheelchair. The lack of wrist bands was not my fault yet as I wasn't aware we needed them yet I was made to feel it was and I found her attitude upsetting and ruined the trip for me. This simple error on the tramway's side could have been easily settled with us continuing to enjoy our trip to the tramstop cafe had the cafe lady's manner and attitude not been so rude. I felt this spoilt the trip for me which we had paid a lot for and looked forward to.

Wonderful food and refreshments to compiiment your time on the trams Highly recommended .from meals to snacks everything good

it's hard to chose batwin good Average. the food is good. but you can do queueing for the tram every 20 mins.over the road from seaton stahon is seaton jassic center.

We visited the tramstop for a coffee whilst waiting for our return tram journey. The service was friendly and efficient, and the coffee was very good at a reasonable price. Great place to sit outside and watch/wait for the tram.

Whilst visiting Colyton we stopped for lunch here. There was a surprising variety to choose from and both the sandwiches and soup that we chose, were well presented and tasted delicious. Prices were very good too.

Our beautiful older daughter and her fiancé choose this venue for their reception, after 84 guests travelled on the tram to Seaton and back. The staff were enthusiastic, skilled and fun; they 'went the extra mile' and worked hard to give us all happy memories of a very special day.

After our delightful tram ride from Seaton we alighted from the tram to discover a lovely tearoom, all sorts of fare available and to my delight they sold a choice of gluen free cakes.

Stopped here to eat before boarding the tram to Seaton. Staff very pleasant, and nice surroundings, can sit indoors or out. Nice well-stocked gift shop adjoining the restaurant. I'm a fussy eater but found I could have had several different options from the menu. We all got adequate portions for a reasonable price, with locally made drinks. In fact I didn't eat all my meal because there was so much on the plate. Food was hot and came quickly. Definitely recommend.

Clean and friendly. Afternoon tea with the most wonderful freshly baked scones wasreally delicious. Ideal place for a quick snack and appeared to cater well for children.

This is one of the best cafes I've been to - and I've been to lots. The food is simple, but really good quality & locally sourced/home-made. The staff were very friendly & efficient.

The freshly home made scones with cream and jam are excellent, the other selections are average for a tourist venue, but are good value and freshly made.

Stopped here on a tram ride from Seaton. The station looked lovely with all the hanging baskets so boded well for the restaurant. Good food was served with lots of choice and was a lovely end of the line so we were refreshed again to start the ride back.

When you get to the end of the tramline it's a good place to either have a cuppa and a snack before embarking on the trip into the village of Colyton or when you get back before boarding the tram back to Seaton. There is a good gift shop as well as an antique centre here to visit as well

We parked in the free car park at Colyton Station on a sunny October day. We were delighted to discover the 'Buffet' was open and serving hot lunches. We both enjoyed freshly cooked ham, egg and chips.After our afternoon walk we returned looking forward to tea and cake - only to discover it was closing time. All the staff were very welcoming and we sat in the sun and enjoyed a pot of tea and some lovely home made carrot cake and chocolate cake.

Most folks arrive at Colyton Tramstop Cafe/Restaurant on the Electric Tram which travels back and forth from Seaton through 2 nature reserves and alongside the river Axe. Very nice and a pleasant 3 mile ride. Others arrive through walking the lovely river paths around here, by Cycle or just dropping in for a cuppa. On a sunny day there's nothing better than sitting under the colourful hanging baskets on the platform with your tea and cake people watching as the multi-coloured trams (14 varieties) disgorge or pick up their passengers. Hot meals are also available here including breakfasts and dinners. The station shop, besides selling tickets stocks an assortment of railway souvenirs, cards, toys etc, pretty much everything really, well worth a browse. There are toilets and a free car park. Colton village itself is worth a stroll round for the 'chocolate box' Devon cottages, pubs etc.An easy day out for all.

Our coffee was lukewarm with grounds floating on top and the cherry flapjack was far too sickly sweet. But worst of all, the young man who served us wiped the cake slice on his tee shirt to clean it before using it to cut the slices. Some training is badly needed here I think.

Great food and the Cream teas are excellent value for money, 2 large scones with cream and jam with a large tea for £5.00 they also give you a bag for the scone you can’t manage. Very friendly staff and pleasant clean surroundings in this former Railway Station, not to be missed. Next door is the shop to purchase your tram mementos and gifts.
