The cafe specializes in traditional British cuisine, and the menu is packed with a variety of tempting options that cater to all palates. Breakfast lovers will rejoice at the sight of their **Full English Breakfast**, praised by customers like Lisa Evans for its stellar value and preparation. Imagine indulging in perfectly cooked sausages, crispy bacon, and eggs just the way you like them, served alongside beautiful, fluffy toast. The enthusiastic Lawrence Gilbert raved about how this breakfast beats his previous hotel’s offerings hands down, emphasizing that you should not miss out on this culinary gem during your stay in Torbay.

And let's not forget the Sunday dinners which Jenny Pocock highlighted, featuring not one but three meat options and an extravagant selection of vegetables—all perfectly cooked, accompanied by incredibly crispy roast potatoes. The lavish homemade puddings, especially the celebrated trifle, just add to the charm, making each meal a delightful gastronomic journey.

First time I had been to this cafe. Were made extremely welcome and found a seat to suit my needs, served a drink very promptly, followed by an excellent Sunday dinner. Choice of 3 meats, amazing crispy roast potatoes and no less than 7 different veg, all perfectly cooked. Lovely selection of home made puddings, the trifle we had was lovely. Will definitely go again. The owner and his staff were lovely and obviously knew their customers well, all of which seemed to be local people who frequented the place regularly.

What a great find, having been brought here for breakfast by my friend. Great service from the owners, and the food was excellent, with breakfast cooked freshly to order. Really fantastic to see an independent business succeeding. My congratulations to the owners. Long may they continue!
