Just come home from a perfect afternoon high tea. First of all the staff were amazing, so friendly and eager to please. Then the food came out. It looked beautiful. The open sandwiches were delicious as were the scones. We had so much clotted cream we didn't manage to empty the bowl. Then the cakes. My friend and I both chose the chocolate brownie. It was squidgy and delicious. A fantastic experience all round.

Very disappointed with this tearoom this visit yesterday.we have been before and had a toasted brie,bacon and cranberry sandwich cost 7.50. This time it came out looking and tasting burnt. When i politely told the owner/manager?she said in a very loud voice,attracting attention from the 3 other tables by us, that this was how they came out. I said i had had it before and it wasnt like that which is why i ordered it. She then said what do you want me to do? Do you want another one because it will come out exactly the same. I felt really uncomfortable and embarrassed as she was speaking so loudly and not being discreet at all. In the end i just had a sandwich but really wanted to leave but my friend was still eating. We are locals and their bread and butter in the winter. What a shame.

Best cream teas in UK let alone Devon! Fantastic find on last day of holiday, AMAZING home made scones, lady manager in the kitchen was just so helpful, all set in an old Art Deco cinema. You must visit here!
