a very popular cafe / coffee shop in the red lion yard area of okehampton…read more a circular building, hence the name of the dovecote with plenty of outdoor seating. a large seating area with approx 20 tables indoors and a rather swanky new bistro upstairs. the daytime food consists of good old fashioned food such as fish and chips, lasagne, hot pot, cauliflower cheese, all day breakfast, jacket potatoes etc. if you just want a pot of tea then that is fine too. the cafe is licensed so if you preffer a glass of wine or a beer with your meal just ask. the staff are always very friendly and there is a good family vibe there, not surprising as it is owned by mother/ father and daughter team. the bistro is open during the evening and is much more upmarket while still maintaining the family feel. the bistro is also available for functions and a buffet can be provided. prices are very reasonable and the food is fantastic.

Cups, bone china and saucer. toasted tea cake served with ample butter, not ready wrapped, little pot of very nice jam and the plate decorated with a piece of pineapple,a strawberry,2 grapes and a piece of melon. Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. Some arm chairs should you want them. Also served lunches at around £7.00 and breakfast for the hungry. A good place to go and friendly owners.

The menu includes hademade burgers that are really good, although my kids go for the waffles and the cherry sidecar to drink. Does breakfasts as well but the sausages aren't great. I always have a burger, whatever time of day. Good food, service and coffee in a novel environment makes this the best cafe in town.

Lovely family friendly cafe in Okehampton…read more Vegan Options: They have soya milk for coffees and offer houmous baguettes or pitta (not listed on the blackboards). It would be great if they offered a vegan jacket potato with beans or veggie chilli, although you can have houmous.

Visited the Lemon Tree Cafe with my family today, and can definitely recommend the breakfast! The…read morecafe was completely full when we arrived, which I was happy to see! The service was lovely and so was the food. They don't have their own website and there was no menu available online, but they mostly do traditional English fare. Food came out quickly and was hot - eggs cooked perfectly! All in all a nice atmosphere for a family meal and relatively inexpensive. They had several specials on their blackboards advertising lunch, so will have to come back to try that out!

I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful this place is!…read more From an American perspective: We randomly stumbled upon this place when needing to stop to feed/change our three month old baby on a road trip from Cornwall to London. It has plenty of parking, has fresh, delicious food, plenty of seating, absolutely pristine bathrooms/toilets and the best baby changing room. We had the grilled cheese and vegetable Sandwich and bowl of chili. Yum! They have a wonderful selection of take away sandwiches and treats as well and of course coffee and tea. There is an abundance of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Truly, the most wonderful place to stop if ever you are passing through the area, or remotely close to the area. Excellent service, super clean toilets and fantastic food and baby services! Would absolutely recommend and return!

Went for the locally sourced bacon butty and the hand crafted coffee, although the coffee was not as 'skinny' as required it certainly gave me the required kick.

Ann's Pasties are famous. And this place here serves them. Naturally we've had to try them…read more Located on the busy Church street it's impossible to miss. Very friendly staff, a nice setting with some tables outside to watch the world go by. Fair prices as well and dogfriendly. A sunny day, so we took a table outside. Ordered the classic cornish pasty with steak filling. And it was a fine pasty. But not the best we've ever had. The pasty could have been crispier, the filling a bit more spiced up. Did taste a bit bland. But recipes are different, tastes are different. It was good - but not great. Nice was the size, a really big pasty with lots of stuffing. It's really a whole meal for itself. All in all still a fine visit. The location was great, we enjoyed sitting down and to watch all the action.
