Dovecote Cafe

a very popular café /​coffee shop in the red lion yard area of okehampton.
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 café 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.

I often go here when visiting family. The food is always good and staff are friendly. It has a nice atmosphere and is often busy. The menu includes a lot of nice, fresh seafood dishes, classic grills, and lighter snacks like jacket potatoes/​baguettes. They also run a very swanky looking bistro upstairs in the evening.
