Their are Cafes and then there is the Old Forge...no visit to Chagford or indeed the Moors should miss the opportunity to rest up, relax and dine in a truly warm and inviting restaurant which offers honest to goodness fare in a very homely atmosphere.
Breakfast is particularly exciting with something for every taste and palate...from the full Old Forge English Breakfast to simply toast with truly delicious jams..
