Great for brunch. Young enthusiastic team. They know their customer service and the food was super lush. We tad our brunch and the dog had a sausage, perfect. Good to see that you'll be doing roasts, we'll have some if that!

Stopped here for a Sunday roast on our way home from Illfracombe, wonderful find - one of the tastiest roasts we’ve had out for a very long time, hugely generous portions with lots of veg. Attentive service and very dog friendly! Would come back for sure

This newly refurbished restaurant is a real find. Backing onto serene woodland and facing open fields, providing a beautiful backdrop. The food, prepared in the brand-new kitchen, was exceptional. We appreciated the generous portions and the quality. A really enjoyable visit, will be back again soon!
We ate the best Sunday roast ever! Thank you so much for the welcoming atmosphere. Great service!
A lovely place to stay in our camper. All they ask is you buy a meal. The food was lovely. Meals reasonably priced. Service was amazing. They allow dogs in. There is a play area for the children. It is under new management and currently shuts at 2.30pm
Booked a table last minute for a family of four. We loved the simplicity and quirkiness, the food was incredible and plenty of choice for the kids. The hosts were fantastic too. We come to the area regularly through the summer and will be back without a doubt.
