Our second visit to this friendly cafe/restaurant and we were not disappointed. A family run business which is very friendly and a great varied menu choice all prepared on the premises.

Wonderful, friendly service. Popped in for coffee and decided to have cake too! Normally this would just be a slice on a plate….. not here. Beautifully presented and tasted great too. Looking around at some of the other tables showed us that this is definitely a place to visit again!

At last we've managed to follow friends' advice to sample Jonny and Steph's cuisine ... and what good advice it was! Superb excellently prepared menu, a very warm welcome and exceptional value. Who needs to travel to a Michelin star restaurant when there is such quality available locally?

Invited by friends for a dinner and entertainment evening on a coronation theme. 2 choices of main and dessert £30 with a local singing duo who played a mix of popular songs. Food excellent and cooked to order. Good drinks menu with reasonable pricing. Wasn't sure what to expect as we live an hour from bampton but would make the journey again. Highly recommended and good to see such a small business so well supported in the town.

We actually visited the Toucan twice, once for breakfast and a second time for cream tea. It was great both times. The tables are a bit close and I noticed I wasn't the only one moving the oversized pillows (didn't leave enough room to sit on the chair) but once we were settled both the food and service were good. I really appreciated the vegetarian option for breakfast and the conversation with the owner when we returned for cream tea a few days later. We were visitors to the area and the Toucan was recommended by our hosts who are locals, We will look forward to eating at the Toucan on a future visit.

well how do i start , I was taken by my friends Stan and Shirley for what they stated was the happiest place to eat the best Sunday Roast in Devon, the weather was awful ice cold wind with the sting of rain , dark clouds skudded across the sky enen the birds were silent, but sunshine was just a few steps away in the guise of the Toucan Cafe/Bistro, this bright and sparkling little diamond of a eating house was warm and cosy ,the staff were warmer and it was packed to capasity with locals all ages but like me pensioners, wheel chairs no problem , service nothing to touch it ,food beautiful all really home made and fresh as the day it was picked,, this was great but the thing that most delighted me was the way the staff and owners treated their flock of diners, never seen such care and normality given to us all their children came down and joined in with all of us, the older folk really enjoyed this as much as i did as these youngsters were really gold star and full of fun and made the whole place shine, the waitress that served us was also on the same wavelength and no one in that fine place could be treated any better than they were, only the one sitting which made it feel like home from home, ive witnessed the treatment of the elderly and felt disgusted but the Toucan is oh so pro life ,what ever age you are , thank you Stan and Shirley for introducing me to this haven in the Devon hills

Over the last weeks my family and I have frequented this little breakfast gem quite a few times, and still look forward to our next trip there. Good solid breakfast menu offering everything you want/need. Including a gluten free full English breakfast (and other GF combinations).The meat is locally sourced, eggs free range and the black pudding fantastic making a for great start to the day. The family also recommend Salmon and Scrambled eggs, although everything looks good! The espresso drinks (latte/cappuccino/ flat white) were all a little too milky/weak for my own personal taste, but the filter coffee/americano is more than adequate. Lunch didn’t disappoint either with sandwiches, jacket potatoes, omelettes and some homemade specials. I believe they have a side return where cyclists can safely store their bikes off the street, as some did on my last visit. Great value for money. Very warm and welcoming staff.

Disappointing had expected it to be the same standard as the Toukan cafe Minehead we thought they were linked clearly not!which is fantastic for vegetarians and vegans. A very unappetizing salad served with fish and a barely warm baked potato . Slow service. Need to develop better options for dairy free and vegans. Lumps of lettuce with lumps of peppers us not what i expect when eating out. Sliced white bread served up with butter pats even after asking me if i had butter also careless.

We arranged to visit a relative and take her out for lunch and invited her to choose a venue. As she lives in the village but had not dined here before she suggested we try it. As we had booked the table was ready for us and the owner showed us to our seats and took us through the menu. There was a good selection of snacks and main meals for what is a relatively small restaurant. The three of us chose from the specials board and also ordered wine and beer. The drinks arrived very quickly and not too long after the food arrived. It was nicely presented and whilst my fish was not the biggest portion I had ever had it was , when combined with the very generous dish of vegetables, more than adequate. The food was tasty, hot and well cooked, it is absolutely impossible to find any fault what so ever. Whilst eating the meal the owner came to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and after we had finished the main meal the chef/owner came to ask whether we had enjoyed the meal. We felt as if we were important and valued as customers, not something that happens everywhere. We then decided to have a sweet each from a selection of about 5 choices. We choose sticky toffee pudding and apple tart.they were every bit as delicious as the main course. All in all a very, very good meal coupled with friendly owners and staff who made us feel very welcome. There is little doubt that we will return in the near future.

I seem to be out of kilter with most reviewers but I was very disappointied with my breakfast at the Toucan. My companion and myself both ordered smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with toast (£5.95), plus a Miles breakfast tea and a green tea. Toast was like an economy supermarket own brand bread, salmon was mean in portion size, eggs were tasteless - no seasoning and not cooked with butter I suspect. Had to add a fair bit of salt and pepper to get some flavour. Texture was as if the eggs had been left under a heat lamp for some time and set hard. The tea was very weak - one bag only in the pot. The place was however busy and seemed to be a popular stop off point with cyclists, but food just wasn't of an appropriate standard for me I'm afraid.

I had my parents visiting for the day and was walking through the main street when we spotted the Toucan. We decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The menu was just what we were after, I had the ploughman's which was lovely, crusty bread, fresh salad, pickles and good helping of proper ham plus a double yolker egg (bonus) . For my 4 year old daughter we could pick anything off the menu and they would create a child's portion for half the menu price, an excellent idea. Not stuck with something and chips like so many other places. Really friendly atmosphere and nothing too much trouble. Will return shortly :-)

I have eaten here five times on visits to the area and every time it's been excellent.You receive a genuinely warm welcome no matter how busy they are, and the Chef usually asks if everything is to your liking. I have to avoid food containing gluten and they understand the problem well. Items on offer have been a lovely carrot cake, gf hot cross buns and they always have gf bread.The food is nicely presented and nothing is too much trouble, definitely worth a visit, the new owners' will give you a warm welcome.

We had to wait for a table at 1230 on a Wednesday lunch time which gives a clue to the popularity of this pleasant little place - it was no problem to go for a stroll and return some twenty minutes later. Attentive, friendly service with a chef who emerges from the kitchen to check you are happy with your meal make this an even better experience. We both enjoyed omelettes with lovely fresh salad - it was a nice change not to be presented with wiry mixed leaves from a bag, but instead a colourful and crispy mix including red onion and pepper, with a tasty vinaigrette. We look forward to return visits and would recommend the Toucan.

Very disappointed. Called in for coffee and a bacon sandwich on a Saturday morning.With 2 assistants alongside the owner and with only about 25 covers it took 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. I ordered a cappuccino but got a latte in a mug. The bacon in the granary sandwich (the white bread had run out by 11am) had clearly been microwaved and was a flabby, pale and unappetising pink. Offered ketchup it was just plonked on the table in a 1 litre plastic catering bottle. Standards, Standards!! Sadly not a patch on what was previously on offer before the Toucan was taken over. And I have no idea what the chef in full 'whites' was doing clearing tables in such a tiny place. Its early days and I hope the new owners survive. I wish them well. It can and must raise its standards. If it does I'll be very pleased to report back in a years time.

We stopped for a coffee to dodge a shower and were rewarded with an cosy little place with great friendly service and excellent coffee. Bampton is a lovely little town and if you need a coffee this is ideal!

Lovely little bistro in centre of Bampton with super home cooked food at very reasonable prices. Good job I booked as it was full and people kept coming in and either waiting or having to come back. Good sign

An excellent evening with friends at one of the regular Toucan Sausage and Mash nights. They are always oversubscribed and it is easy to see why. A choice of sausages, all delicious and several different mashes, equally delicious followed by scrumptious deserts. We all had a lovely evening - thank you.

I live about half an hour's drive from here and call in on occasion, most recently with friends before Christmas. The home-cooked food is excellent, good coffee (and a selection of beer, wine and cider), and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Plus if you don't know it Bampton is a very attractive little market town with a few shops, wide main street and river. Well worth a visit - or a diversion for a few miles off the North Devon link road.

Delicious menu - and for veggies! A range of alcohol served too. A great atmosphere and very cosy. My party hire the whole cafe for a private party every year and always have such an enjoyable event here - dishes were piping hot and so tasty. They couldn't be more accommodating for us.A definite visit if you're in the area!! A little gem in Bampton!

We were lucky to be diverted because of a road closure and ended up looking for breakfast in Brampton. The bacon & egg sandwiches are excellent. The service is extremely friendly. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Popped in for a coffee (free refills), had the most delicious bacon sandwiches, service excellent. Good value for money.

Really enjoyed coffee and scones at this unassuming café. Extremely friendly staff made us very welcome. Recommended.

Nothing beats a hot chocolate on a very rainy day for cold cyclists. Especially with welcoming hosts for dripping wet customers. Able to park the bikes leaning against the shop so in view, though a little narrow for other passers by. Sensational Devonshire Tea and chicken Caesar salad as well as storybooks for our 3 yr old son to read. And a toilet, porcelain always welcome after a long ride! Cosy atmosphere, a little tight on seating space with lively clientele to chat with. Highly recommend.

I was visiting a friend of mind in Musgrove Hospital Taunton from North Devon and on a whim decided to take the old road passing through Bampton. I stopped initially at the Toucan for coffee but decided to take an early lunch of toast, scrambled egg & bacon it was superb, the staff were friendly and the price more than reasonable. I will certainly stop by again & have already told several of my friends to consider doing the same.

We stopped here briefly for a light lunch, on a cold miserable day.We were warmed & cheered up by a lovey bowl of soup, which was delicious.And the chocolate cake was very good too!

Visited for lunch on a cold day and made very welcome with good food. Quite full but service acceptable and friendly. My first visit to Bampton - I will visit again

Ate at the Rose & Crown whilst staying at a local B&B, whose owner had recommended the pub. Very friendly landlord, large plates of excellent quality food, to go alongside the extremely good service. Would be nice to be more local to it, to use it again, but would certainly look to eat there again if in the area. Highly recommend.

To get here from Launceston was difficult, down narrow lanes and road closures. Really enjoyed the ambiance of the cafe, the coffee was good, the food was OK, just a bread based sandwich with no dressing like salad, perfectly reasonable for a bikers themed cafe. What I did find unexpected was the variety of customers not all of which came on bikes. It felt like a locals cafe as well. Nice

Easiest way to explain this place is a hidden gem. Great food and great service.

Old broken sofa & junk all over the place. Scruffy & dirty has never been trendy. Shame the food wasn’t better. Very basic. Interesting response from owner. Seems he’d rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. But certainly fits into today’s narrative, if you don’t agree with ME then you’re not welcome here.
