Riverford Farm Shop Cafe

Called in to have a cup of coffee (they do awesome coffee) and a light meal. I had a vegetable pasty and a mix of absolutely deliciously fresh salad. The food was delicious. A little bit more work on customer care would give it a 5.

We ordered 2 vegetarian breakfasts and 2 coffees. The cooked breakfast took over half an hour to arrive by which time our coffees had gone cold. Unfortunately, whilst the mushrooms were hot, everything else was tepid! The shame of it is that the food is delicious. Just need to get it out quicker and make sure it’s hot.

Mushrooms on toast cooked in butter are delicious for breakfast and they make very good coffee. Other breakfast items are a bit hit and miss and the soup can be bland. The organic selling point needs vigilance because it only pertains to some of the stock. The local organic vegetables you can by when you sup in the cafe are often excellent.

Just visited for the first time the shop and cafe. Very impressed with the rang of organic produce in the shop and deli food looked wonderful. Had a lovely coffee and brownie, cafe was busy and the food served up to others looked great. Contrary to other reviews the staff all were very friendly and polite and welcoming. Will definitely visit again. Thank you

We visited with our two young children. My husband had a burger which he said was delicious. I chose the bruschetta which was ok but had gone a bit soggy (accompanying beetroot and chilli houmous delicious though! Our two boys had a sausage sandwich and a cheese sandwich which were fine but rather overpriced for what they were. Ok food but not great value for money.

Stumbled upon this place as Dartington was choka. The staff are great here I will add. For lunch we had, Tomato and Basil soup, Steak pasty which was my personal favourite , Caramel slice and a Brownie. All was tasty and left us happy and full up afterwards. I would really recommend the Steak Pasty, it was fill to the brim and delicious. Around the shop you can find all sorts of foods, drinks and alcohol to choose from. I will add however it is a little pricey and some items you can find a lot cheaper in Supermarkets. Great place to eat and will be returning for lunch.

I’ve been using the café at Ben’s Farm Shop at Staverton quite a bit recently and I love it. Fine dining it definitely isn’t but it’s a café in a brilliant farm shop – not a Michelin starred restaurant. The coffee is great and, although the timing can be a bit iffy, the breakfast is excellent. Where else can you get sausages, dry cure bacon. black and hogs pudding made at the butcher’s counter fifteen metres away? I don’t take much notice of the lunch menu and just ask them to make me a mezze plate of the salads, dips, antipasti, empanadas and falafels they sell form the deli counter and it never fails to hit the spot. Maybe not 100/100 but definitely five stars.

This was our favourite meal that we had in Devon (and we had quite a few! as it was a new experience and very enjoyable. We came for lunch (booking is essential, you can't just turn up and joined some lovely people at one of the big tables so lunch was very jolly and great fun. Food is served promptly on sharing platters so don't be late or you'll miss out! There seemed to be endless platters brought to the table and these consisted of the most delicious and superbly prepared vegetables, wonderful meat (we had beef ragu yummy! and sourdough bread which was to die for. Just when you thought you couldn't eat another morsel, they invite you to choose your puddings (either one big portion or a c...

Have visited here many times for breakfast, firstly when it was called Riverford and subsequently when it became 'Ben 's Farm Shop ' (but still part of the same empire I believe). Last visit, some time ago, saw reduced breakfast portions compared to previous visits. Thought it was a one off perhaps....but no. Visited again on Saturday 23rd Feb 2019 and food portions are noticeably smaller than they used to be. I ordered beans with sourdough toast and spinach, with a side of bacon (as an extra). Toast did not look like sourdough, the beans were a tiny portion, comprising mainly sauce and very few beans, along with a barely visible 'eye ' of bacon. Did not realise until I looked at the menu ag...
