Yarde Orchard - Menu

This is a super cafe along the Tarka trail. We stopped here and had a lovely cup of hot chocolate and the homemade lemon drizzle cake, highly recommended! The staff are friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotlessly clean. Not to be missed if you’re in the area.

We love coming here! It's in a very beautiful setting and all the staff are very very friendly and always happy to help in anyway they can!The food is fantastic especially vinces homemade apple cake which always goes down a treat with a cup of tea or coffee. Very child friendly.

Myself and four friends stayed here while cycling the coast to coast in Devon. We couldn't believe how lucky we were with our accomodation. Cheap and cheerful, it's set in a beautiful orchard on the tarka trail. We had a well deserved evening meal in the cafe, lovely atmosphere and good food. I'd recommend to anyone passing

Great setting and lovely gardens. However this is where the positives end. We arrived at 12.30 and they had practically nothing left. Waited over an hour for 4 ham rolls, when they arrived the reason for the delay was they’d run out of lettuce?! Lots of angry and frustrated customers in the same boat maybe it was an off day but best avoided.

We have been going to this gorgeous place for donkeys years, and seen several changes of ownership. However, not sure how many times we’ll be going again. Thought we’d have a baguette. Listed in the menu as “baguettes”. What arrived was less than half of one small petit pain. A bit stingy and not truthful either. Compared to the food of old, very poor indeed.

This café came into view like an oasis in the desert whilst walking along the Tarka Trail. Still only providing takeaways due to the lockdown, there were plenty of picnic benches outside, most under cover, and the coffee was very welcome and very good. Also good to see toilet and dog facilities. Will return pist-lockdown to sample their locally-sourced tucker. There is also intriguing looking accommodation available.

Dropped in today after the Great reviews. Queued for 30 minutes (only 2 people in front), during which time I witnessed their working practices. Carry On Cafe springs to mind! Orders messed up, incredibly slow service (people coming in asking where there orders were), hot chocolates sat waiting for 15 minutes (must have been cold) I finally left when the older waiter went to the cake cabinet, picked up 2 scones in an ungloved hand. COVID basic hygiene rules ignored; not for me!

Once we arrived, our visit could not have gone better. Great service from all the staff, drinks and pizza (Saturday night special pizza evening) perfect and friendly other customers. Our sprocker spaniel Archie well and truly spoilt with biscuits and fuss. Only downside was that we had walked the ‘1 mile’ down the Tarka Trail from our holiday park at Smytham, which turned out to be nearer 2 and a half and we arrived late and knackered. Top marks to the owner who drove us back after dinner and saved us the return journey. We will be back but will cycle instead.

I live opposite and my Uncle (who was recently involved in a motorbike accident) was coming to visit, and I was delighted to know that these new owners, Michelle and Vince, would generously rent me their one bed room for £400 for one month (I provided all the cleaning and bedding) so he could come to stay and recover with us. He ended up having to cancel last minute due to his illness, so the room was left empty for 2 weeks. By this time we could not return the key or be eligible for a refund, as the return policy stated in Michelle's email to me and on the website is limited to only 14 days. Therefore, my cousin came to use to room for 3 days ahead of my uncles visit (Michelle was informed...
