Very friendly service. We were greeted most pleasantly and although we were, strictly speaking, too late to order brunch, the waitress said there was a nice chef on and she would have a word with him. Our brunch orders were accepted. The 'Hot Chocolate Deluxe'...(which I have enjoyed on several previous occasions at this establishment) was excellent and very good VFM. The 'Poached Eggs with Avocado' was very tasty. A lovely place to eat and a very warm day. We had intended to eat at the Old Dairy Cafe, Goodnestone but contrary to the information on its website, we arrived to find it closed today. The ODC's loss was the Tadpole's gain!! It is great to find catering establishments that are prepared to help themselves in the current difficult economic environment. There will always be a demand for food of the quality of that served at the Tadpole, particularly when it is served in such a welcoming fashion.More

The coffee is like water. The oat milk is not creamy and hot enough. Please please get a new coffee machine and and some proper barista training!!

Ploughmans lunch at this tearoom on a sunny but windy day. We sat outside as it was sheltered. Good ploughmans with ham and cheese. Service great. A little expensive but you pay for the quality.

Nice surroundings / settings, but spoilt by staff that had no rapport what so ever with their customers. Smiles and acknowledgment towards your customers however busy you are go a long way.

Have visited a few times for breakfast and lunch . A friendly bunch serving good food at a reasonable price.

Lovely little team rooms which serve hot and cold food with a great selection on offer - Lovely place to settle after a nice walk in the countryside.

Visited this so called popular vegetarian friendly cafe for lunch. There was nothing vegan on the menu and it wasn't busy. The waitress said they have nothing for vegans and confirmed this after after speaking to the chef. Clearly they have an issue with vegans...as they didn't bother to try and offer me a simple avocado on toast. It was fine by them to leave me hungry. This in my view is incomprehensible, everywhere I go the staff go out of their way to be respectful,but not the Tadpole!More

Had the blandest salad I have ever eaten, couldn’t finish it. No flavour at all. Not worth the overpriced £9.50 cost! (Much better salad at another cafe nearby, and cheaper, that I tried very recently) I asked for dressing, to be told it had already...been added…OKAAAY, so if I hadn’t wanted it I would have not had the choice! As it was, there was definitely no dressing whatsoever. The sachets of salad cream on the table need changing. It was a strange colour and tasted like vinegar. Couple of the younger staff very happy and polite. It was very busy so maybe I was just unlucky today as it seems very popular. Not sure I will return though. Bonus was Gildas, a new sourdough bread shop, so delicious and lovely staffMore

This is a nice place to breakfast. The food is excellent. Unfortunately the condition of the customer toilets lets the place down. Today at 10.00 a.m. they did not appear to have been cleaned. I was also disappointed to find the prices on the menu...did not seem to correspond with those on the bill and VAT seemed to be charged on top of the displayed prices. The menu needs to be clearer and perhaps dated. I notice the web site menu is from several years ago too.. So a little sock pulling up maybe Other than these points the experience was enjoyableMore

Was pleasantly surprised at how nice this place is Great strong coffee in a mug and tea in a teapot with vintage cup and saucer Had a Croque Monsieur and a BLT and both were delicious and very filling Reasonable prices Friendly staff and the...place was spotlessly clean Would recommend and will visit againMore

Lovely place to visit First time going there Sat outside in the sun, had breakfast. Good decent prices. Would definitely recommend and would go again And it's dog friendly too!!😁👍

The cafe is a lovely place with very pleasant staff. UnfortunatelyI do not visit as often as I would like to as there are not any vegan options and just the mention of the V word does not seem to be welcomed which is such...a shame. With a little imagination vegan options are doable. For non-vegan customers the food looks very nice.More
