I love coming here with my mum and nan. It's a great place to have a light lunch/meal. They do baguettes and jacket potatoes, and the portions are really good size, with good prices to match. There is inside and outside seating. It does get busy but they do work hard to keep everyone happy. Drinks are prepared quickly, and food comes out farely quick after that depending on what you choose and how busy they are. I haven't tried the cakes but they do look delicious with a variety to choose from. Also to add the beautiful view and free car parking available. Highchairs to use and they keep it clean. Toilets inside. Just be careful driving down the lane towards the cafe as it is a one way track with passing plots, and there can be pedestrians or cyclists, but as long as your slow and careful there are no problems.

Fremington Quay was once significant in the import and export of many goods. It had railway sidings, cranes, and other apparatus used for the export of ball clay and import of coal. Between the early to mid-twentieth century it was the busiest port (based on tonnage) between Bristol and Land's End. An abattoir was formerly located here. The quay has been redeveloped as an amenity facility with restaurant and provides wide views over the River Taw estuary. It has been a Conservation Area since 1996. Fremington quay station has now been turned into cafe restaurant on the bank of the river Taw , also a bike hire is near for an easy ride into near by Barnstaple to the east or westwards towards instow and Biddeford.

Absolutely brilliant little place on the cycle path between Instow and Barnstaple. We are staying in Fremington for the week and have walked down early morning with our dog. We devided to walk down so I could have a cream tea 😁. Food was excellent 2 scones, cream and jam. Wife had a Raspberry slice and the boys had Rocky road. All generous portions 😍. We sat outside looking out to the estuary, which is a fantastic view. Reasonably busy as weather was nice. Definitely worth a visit and we will be back to sample some more of the delicious looking cakes 😋. Staff very helpful, friendly and polite. Plenty of seating outside to bring your 4 legged friends 🐾 🐾

We visited Fremington Quay whilst on a holiday in North Devon. It is situated at the confluence of the Torridge and Taw estuaries and you can imagine Tarka the otter swimming in the sea haing made his way down the Torridge. The coffee shop was a buzz of activity, and rightly so, it was efficient and the coffee was very palatable. You can look out over the estuary and see the soft green hills of the North devon coast almost unaware of the human activities on the other side.

Food is delicious. We’ve been several times before for their baguettes and they are amazing. Yesterday we had their breakfast and it didn’t disappoint, great quality and huge portion (we couldn’t finish ours!). We will be back soon for a slice of cake, as all the cakes in the counter looked to die for. The only thing we would say was that the room was a bit cold, regardless the fireplace being lit, so additional heating in the winter would be appreciated.

A great Cafe, went for a walk along the Tarka trail towards Instow then had a bite to eat at this excellent Cafe. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food came quickly despite being very busy. They serve sandwiches/wraps baked potatoes, cakes etc. Ours wrap/baguette was excellent, generously filled and very tasty. Will be back because the cakes looked fantastic, just didn't have room for them after the wrap/baguette...
