Cafe On The Green — Restaurant in Teignbridge

Below is my earlier 5☆ review. I'm disappointed to say that I now feel I have to take away a star. The reason is that the last few times I've visited the food hasn't been up to previous standards. On recent visits I had a very bland cooked breakfast and a very disappointing vegan burger. Let's hope it is just a temporary blip?

I'm a regular visitor to Cafe on the Green and I'm almost reluctant to recommend it. It can get busy, particularly at the weekend and I want to be able to get a table! Beautifully located in the picturesque village of Widecombe with seating inside and out it offers first class food at reasonable prices. The menu is pretty imaginative for these parts with healthy options and a good choice for vegetarians. Burgers and chips are also available. The seating and decor is a good standard.

Not only is this a most attractive venue, but the staff took great care to make sure I was fully informed about what food would be ok for me to eat, and did so in a kind and helpful manner (not always the case in restaurants). What’s more the food was delicious! The tomatoes and baguettes can all be done with gluten free bread. In so many restaurants this means you get small portions as a slice of gluten free bread is always much smaller than a normal loaf. Here I was given TWO toasties to compensate for that. Roasted red pepper, mozzarella , falafel and pesto accompanied by a huge serving of salad leaves. Fantastic. I’ll definitely be back....
