The Bakehouse — Restaurant in Mid Devon

Wow! What a find we called in at Cullompton to break our journey down to Plymouth.

We were looking forward to a light lunch, The Bakehouse was the first cafe/restaurant we came across, how lucky were we.

We were immediately greeted and offered a really nice table in the window, the menu is extensive offering light bites to main meals, coffee and cake or a selection of cream teas.

I couldn't resist the mushrooms in a cheesy cream sauce on toasted soda bread which was delicious, my husband had a cheese and ham sandwich, to describe the bread as doorstep is an understatement the cheese was cut into thick slices as was the ham, served with an impressive side salad, we both gasped when it arrived as did other customers when their sandwiches duly arrived, our 'light lunches' were so filling we didn't bother with supper that evening.

The ambience is fabulous the dining room down the corridor by the toilets is worth a visit its very cosy,and perfect for for larger groups of customers.

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough,it will certainly become a regular stop for us when travelling past, its a 10min drive from the motorway junction with a very good carpark right behind the towns main street.

We have already decided to call in next Saturday at the end of our week's holiday on...

We stopped in Cullompton on our way elsewhere so that we could have a leg stretch after a long journey. After a walk around the town we saw The Bakehouse and being dog friendly decided to pop in. Friendly service and great atmosphere we decided to have something to eat as well as a drink. An americano and a luxury hot chocolate, with the hot chocolate actually being hot unlike so many places where it is lukewarm and you end up finishing it two minutes later. This was creamy and a good helping of marshmallows! We then ordered a bakehouse toastie consisting of cheddar and mozzarella with hogs bottom tomato and red onion chutney. It was like a meal in itself and a very impressive and fresh side salad. We also ordered the crispy fried halloumi wrap with rocket, peppers, red onion and chilli sauce. Again, a large serving with great side salad. Both meals freshly made and piping hot, so chance for them to cool down a bit and enjoy the surroundings of the premises. A great place and one we will be sure to visit again next time we pass through. Oh whilst I am a Costa coffee fan, which is just on the opposite side of the road, I implore people to support The Bakehouse team where you get freshly prepared on-site food and drink at prices more competitive than you will get in any major chain...

I recently visited The Bakehouse in Cullompton for breakfast and I really enjoyed our visit. We will be back to try the evening menu!

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the lovely atmosphere of the café. We felt very welcome. It was exceptional service by the entire team - thank you.

The food is absolutely delicious and so are the summer drinks & iced latte. The iced latte is served with vanilla syrup & whipped cream and I was a very impressed - my favourite iced latte! We didn't try the cakes but there was so many delicious-looking choices.
