  “Friendly staff. Great booths for eating. We both had the small cooked breakfast and it was perfectly cooked. If you're in Princetown, drop in for a coffee or tea or scone - lovely little family-run place.”

  “We had a Cheese & Onion pasty, a Steak pasty and a bowl of chips between us alongside 2 cans of Fanta Orange, costing £22.65 in total. The pasty fillings were lovely, however they microwaved them to heat them up resulting in awful dire soggy pastry. The chips tasted of old burnt cooking oil, there is no excuse for not changing the oil. The pasties were served with a miniscule side salad for decoration. The prices were obviously Grockle prices, tailored for the holiday makers that arrive by the coachload, I can not recommend this cafe, I have given it two stars because of the staff, hard working and thorough in cleaning the tables. I did notice the waitress give a wry smile when I ordered the pasties, now I know why.”

  “Good food, reasonably priced. We were very pleased that the tea room was opened at 3pm (everything else around was shut). We enjoyed our meal. I also managed to chat to a local lady and buy a beanie and a scarf from a display of knitted goods made by local artists. Superb!”

  “Great spot and lovely staff let down by poor ingredients. Frozen sausages are a bit 90s and you can’t put the word ‘Big’ in the title of a breakfast and then serve one piece of bacon. I know times are hard with the prison being closed, but I would’ve happily paid an extra fiver for a proper breakfast.”

  “I enjoyed eating here and having a light lunch on a boiling hot day, today. The staff and chef bent over backwards to help me out with my dietary requirements. They clearly like to help where they can and for that I am very pleased with the service and friendliness of the staff. Thank you.”

  “Beautiful little cafe. Kind and helpful staff. Great menu at reasonable prices. Set in the pretty prince town village with walks on their doorstep. Behave yourself " it's an old police station" 😂😃🤣 set near a french built retired prison. A must to visit”

  “We came here today with my Dad & step mum who is recovering from surgery. We booked a table while travelling over the moors towards Princetown, and on arrival, our table was waiting. Served by friendly attentive staff, our order was soon taken, and after a short wait, our freshly prepared food was brought to our table. Food was very tasty, well presented and hot, which was nice as outside the temperature was just above freezing. Washed down with a large pot of tea, full & and contented, we headed out in snow flurries for our journey home. Highly recommended will definitely be back once again.”

  “Lovely staff and great cream teas, plus very dog friendly. However you can't avoid your clothes smelling of cooking (bacon and chips) when you leave. Not to be helped I guess when the windows are all closed and the kitchen extraction was not working well.”

  “We just had take away chips and they were gorgeous, freshly made to order for us, the are blanch fried first then cooked in vegetable oil. There is seating both inside and out with a varied snack style menu. Inside devour is a bit dated but functional. Outside areas have had a makeover and look very appealing. Friendly staff not great for wheelchairs. Cash or credit accepted. Good value portion of chips £2.50”
