Dudley's Café - Dartmouth — Restaurant in South Hams

Stopped off here first a cream tea. Was hoping for a good one with it prominently advertised but before ordering we asked if the scones were homemade. We were told they aren’t made on site but are made especially for them. I checked ‘not like shop brought ones then?’ She said ‘No!’ Well the scone was small, and homogenous in size - and looked and tasted exactly like a shop bought scone. It was served warm (probably to freshen it up). There was absolutely no way that was a home made fresh scone. I felt rather cheated. I’m a keen baker and scones are a specialty, so I know a good home made scone and this definitely wasn’t it.

Everything was very tasty (I was naughty and ordered the cheesy fries with my dish). Service was swift and friendly. Will definitely eat there again when we return to Dartmouth. Plus, it is not too...

Came across this great little cafe whilst walking about dartmouth on Easter Sunday. Surprised to find it opened until 7pm. Had a fantastic jacket potato with cheese and side salad followed by a very generous, delicious helping of raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. Would highly recommend a visit, big menu, breakfast served all day and prices very reasonable. Loved the decor too. Business only been there 2 years and it deserves to do well. I hope it stays for the foreseeable future. Will...
