The Victorian Pantry - West Devon

I’m currently staying a few days in Devon. I was checking out Okehampton town centre, discovered The Victorian Pantry by the Museum of Dartmoor Life and decided to pop in to get some food. It’s a lovely and quaint place (in the sweetest way possible! and the owner was very warm and friendly. The food was great quality and value. I got myself an extra slice of coffee and walnut cake for the evening at my hotel, because it was really tasty! A really nice experience on my travels.

Delicious Clotted Cream Tea. It was great to endulge in a traditional clotted cream tea. Fantastic portions, moist and light scones, a nice supply of clotted cream and fresh strawberry preserve. Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Nothing has changed since my last visit in March 2017. Always a pleasure to revisit.

We have eaten here a number times over the years. It is a small place, run by friendly people. Today we had jacket potato with generous helping of prawns, fresh salad £7.50) and a tasty breakfast sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, baked beans and fried potato, with toast £9). Definitely recommend for simple, tasty meals.

Tucked away very close to the Dartmoor Life Museum mrs foodie located this little gem. We noticed a fair few locals who were obviously repeat visitors which is always a good sign. Whilst main meals and hot snacks are available i struggle to not choose a cream tea. Well pleased that i did. Proper jam and cream , lovely homeade scones and a cracking cup of tea. Now which goes first in Devon the jam or the cream....

We had a trip out to Okehampton and were pleased to see that this little gem of a cafe was open. It’s right by the Dartmoor Museum (also worth a visit) and does wonderful traditional home cooked meals on hot plates! Our breakfast did not disappoint with a butchers sausage, thick bacon, fresh mushrooms and sautéed potatoes included. All freshly cooked and delicious. Dogs are welcome there unlike that place up the road! Jayne and Bill
