Pannier Galley Cafe — Restaurant in Torridge District

Sad to be leaving this cafes first bad review, but I feel it is wholly justified. I ordered a jacket potato with cheese & salad, the cheese was nicely melted on top with a reasonable side salad, but underneath lurked the most overdone & brown potato I've EVER TRIED TO EAT. I returned the potato & was faced with an angry 'what's wrong with it'? 'What's right with it, it's disgusting, I can't believe you've dished it' out', I replied. It was literally thrown in the bin, plate & all I think! 'There's nothing wrong with that potato', money slung across the counter, no option for another one or something else. My wife therefore had to sit eating her cooked breakfast (which was fine) with me empty plated.

I don't think I've had such an angry reply to returning a dish in my life (not that's it happened much, I usually get it down). This review is just for my jacket potato & if she'd handled the complaint calmly, I wouldn't have felt it necessary to post this.

I'm a veggie, friends carnivores and we all enjoyed our food.

Worth a visit.

We sought refuge in the cafe on a Sunday morning after a long and rainy cycle trip. The perfectly cooked veggie full English breakfasts sorted us out. The strong, hot filter coffee with free refills was just the ticket. And...
