Bicclescombe Mill Tea Room — Local services in North Devon

After searching online for somewhere to go and eat this place stood out with all the great reviews and photos. We left disappointed with the service we received today , after finding a table the waitress asked what would we like but unfortunately there was no menu on any of the tables so we politely requested one. The menu looked very good with such a lot to choose from, after making our decisions on what we was ordering we was then asked to pay. Two minutes after paying for the food we was told there is a 25minute wait as they have no cheese and was awaiting for a staff member to return from bookers with cheese and we said we was happy to wait. After waiting 15 minutes we was then told by another young girl it would be a further 25minutes as they haven't returned yet or we can choose something else off menu.

There is a tennis club on site, and open courts throughout the year. In season there is a cafe beside the water wheel. Bring your model boat to the boating pond. There is a stream running through the park which attracts ducks and other birds. Parents should keep a careful eye on young children as there are unguarded borders with water. There is a small, free carpark close by....
