Easy to find, good stop off if you need a pee. Also good for a run for your dog, lots of bins, benched areas.... loads of parking, good for caravans, campers, and even trucks or coaches. Cheap and quick food.

Food was freshly cooked and tasty a little gem just outside of south Molton. Service was good a very welcome break with plenty of parking and safe open space for dog walking and children letting off steam . Very welcoming will visit again when next in the area

Great little stop for refreshments, leg stretches or toilets. It’s a lovely big area with swings and greenery for children and dogs. Be aware that it’s a strict 0730-1530 for the food but the toilets are 24/7. The food is straightforward and great value for the money - fresh cooked in generous portions. A great tucked away little gem if you are travelling, passing through or out on bicycle or motorbike.

After a long drive, just looking for somewhere to have a quick coffee and let the dog out of the car for a short walk. Can't comment on the food, but what we saw looked very appetising. Very busy, but friendly staff and a great location. South nicer than most service station areas!

Called in here after doing a delivery to some premises just behind the diner. Had a fantastic bumper full English which was delicious and worth every penny. I'll definitely be making another visit next time I'm down that way.

We had a Med, all day breakfast, it was cooked as it should be - nice N slow, perfectly cooked with nothing under or over cooked. This is the 3rd time in about 5 years we have been, Staff are still just as pleasant as the 1st time. Massive toilets next door, and as the cafe "very clean" lots of car or truck parking ( separate from cars ) even if you are just passing, great to let the kids out and play on the swings while you stretch your legs
