The best restaurants in West Devon South West

Unfortunately this restaurant did not live up to expectation. It was very local to us but unfortunate ly we were not tempted to return there. The establishment has now closed and become a private residence.

Busy cafe in the heart of Tavistock where parking can be a challenge. There is a counter at the front in the shop part and a cafe at the back which tends to be busy especially at peak times. The treat is a crodot - a cream and variously decorated cake that is a cross between and croissant and a doughnut. Half each might be enough for some people. Don't go too late or you'll miss them.

We came for Saturday lunch after a beautiful walk to Wistman's Woods. Staff were very friendly and efficient and even though it was busy and we hadn't reserved we received a table in the restaurant. The menu was varied and the food was wonderful. This accompanied by their locally brewed Ale made our lunch memorable. We came back in the afternoon after another long walk and enjoyed their lovely scones and tea and took a souvenir pack of their Ales On Sunday we returned and even though their Sunday roasts were fully booked we managed to get a seat and enjoyed the light lunch menu, consisting of homemade sausage roll, quiche and a very delicious soup. Compliments to the chef!

Highly recommend this traditional family run pub. The Landlady is the hardest working person I have ever met and always with a smile on her face. She made us so welcome as did the locals. Lots of locals (good sign) and excellent menu. Not too fussy - just good traditional pub food. I had the sausages & mash with onion gravy with freshly cooked vegetables. Great desserts. We stayed overnight on a Devon Coast to Coast bike ride. My room in the main building was clean, fresh sheets and a bath!!! Essential on a bike riding trip! Views from the pub are stunning when the sun is shining. There is a caravan park out the back. There is cottage accommodation as well which is basic. I encourage you to visit and support them.

Excellent breakfast and exceptionally nice coffee. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Well worth a visit!!! Will visit again when in the area!

My wife and I were in Okehampton for a couple of days and fancied a big breakfast before starting off for hone. We found the cafe on google maps and gave it a try. The breakfast was very good and there was lots of choice. The cafe is quite small with 5 tables for 4 and 1 for 2 people. It’s laid out in the style of an American diner. It looks like it’s run by two ladies, one in the kitchen and one serving, so when it’s busy things can take a bit longer, but it’s worth the wait. The waitress was very helpful and accommodating moving us to another table when the sun was shining in our eyes. The cafe was very clean and fresh with the tables and chairs disinfected after each customer. I would recommend giving the cafe a try.

We stayed here February 2023 for two nights. It was our third time and love it. The rooms are well clean and comfy. The food at dinner was wonderful, in fact exceptional l. Breakfast was good and plenty of it. Handy to stay if you want to visit Tintagel, Boscastle and other places

I don't know where I should start. First of all, you can literally smell their pasties from the other side of Tavistock, and when you get there, they won't disappoint. Got 2 medium trad pasties for my friend & I for lunch, and the lady at the counter discounted it by like 60p each using the Warren's app or something like that. She also gave us a lot of vouchers (not that we were gonna use them) so we gave them away. Should've eaten it in Tavistock, because when I reached the service station, it was a bit cold. Just going to say this: As a tourist, maybe I don't know what a proper Cornish pasty tastes like, but Warren's fulfills my definition of proper (the ones up in London are worse and twice as expensive).

First time visiting this restaurant after reading the lovely reviews. Expecting to have a lovely cooked breakfast in the restaurant to start our day only to be told restaurant not open due to no staff. Take away only Had 2 baps and 2 coffees £18 very disappointed the baps were small brioche buns. Won’t be returning..

Came in Sunday 23/02/2020 And ordered a latte and hot choc, was very quite so expected quick service. A gent came in a few minutes after and ordered a white coffee and bacon roll after us! It looked as if she started making the drinks and doing the bacon roll...we waited a while to then see she made the gent who came after us his bacon roll and coffee before ours, we questioned it but shook it off. The lady then came over with my latte then told us there was no more hot chocolate...so we ordered a tea cake (same price £2.50) to save on the hassle... She then made and brought over the tea cake, and we looked up and hot chocolate powder was on the shelf behind her, we had a giggle at her poor look. She must of noticed because she gave them a shake and left the tubs on the shelf meaning it contained hot choc 😂

Brilliant little cafe, lovely farm shop. Food was amazing and we were served by a lovely waitress called Georgia! Would definitely recommend.

Where exactly is Waitrose going now? Their vegan stock used to be supurb then gradually they replaced the good stuff with obscure trendy stuff that never seemed to move off the shelf, now the vegan section is a tiny little section at the end of a shelf with nothing that I find suitable to buy. I used to spend aboit £150 a week in this shop, now im lucky if I spend £50. I have started to go to Sainsbury in Marsh Barton on the way home from work. They have a huge range, so Waitrose, you have driven me away, I hope others follow suit. 😒

Good food and the staff are helpful and friendly and good value

What a great place for locals and visitors alike to meet up and have food and/or beverages. Jen and her staff are very welcoming as are the regulars. The breakfast is hearty and coffee good. There’s a good range of herbal teas too. For a small cafe it offers a good range of food which is always freshly prepared with most of the ingredients locally sourced. Highly recommend Jen’s 👍🏽
