Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were stuck for a good place to eat, having looked on Trip Advisor under restaurants nothing was really inviting ….. we like food that is good quality home cooked food, with a slightly alternative flair (not just traditional meat and two veg) and we...don’t like chains. Then whilst walking back to the car park, we happened across The Country Cafe, from the outside it didn’t grab me but I saw a board advertising Homity Pie 😋 so I decided to look at it further ….. then I saw Iced Peach 🍑 Tea ….. so I decided to go in ….. I’m so glad we did ……. The food was amazing - they had food on the counter just as a visual so you could see what your food would look like if you ordered it. They had a delicious omelette with a tasty filling and too many other mains to list ….. great vegetarian 🥑 and gluten free options, if needed. Great selection of teas and drinks and their homemade cakes 🧁 were unbelievable!!!! Dense and moist and others were light and fluffy ….. the tray bakes were great in selection too ….. I had the Homity Pie, Iced Tea and Banana Cake that had perfect frosting ! The staff were super friendly and quick to serve ….. the place had a warm vibe and reminded me of the Deep South with good southern American 🇺🇸 diner feel to it. Wooden beams and homely decor with lovely art 🖼️ on the wall available to buy and Burts food products on sale too. When we next return to Newton Abbot this will be the only place we return to and eat and will be recommending to all ….. thank you 🙏🏼More

Wow! I had such an amazing experience at the country table cafe! I have coeliac disease and I have to be gluten free. Their cross contamination knowledge was astounding! The two lovely ladies at the counter ensured me that everything was cooked separately to where...the normal food was, including own toaster and butter that was free from. I had a lovely gluten free toasted breakfast sandwich. It was honestly amazing! My friend had a tuna Mayo sandwich and a cake and thoroughly enjoyed hers. I have not had a reaction to my food which is brilliant! I cannot praise them enough! This establishment is my new favourite place! Thank you so much for an amazing experience! You have got yourself some new regulars!More

After checking out their menus on the website and really glad to see a cafe doing eggs royale. Myself and my partner went down to visit unfortunately the menu advertised on the website did not only contain various other options that weren't available they were...advertising completely different prices. I'm sure the management team will be well aware that under Section 20 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 makes it a criminal offence for a person in the course of his business to give consumers a misleading price.More

Every school holiday I take my two oldest grandchildren to The country table cafe in bank street, Newton Abbot, Devon. We go there for breakfast. The service is excellent. Very quick and there is never a problem in altering the set cooked breakfast menu, eg...one child likes to add hash browns to his whilst the other one removes cooked tomatoes but likes extra sausage. I usually have the vegetarian breakfast, also very good and enjoyable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The entrance is accessible to everyone. There are plenty of tables available. The only downside is that they do not have a disabled access toilet. If you ever want a quick and filling snack their cheese scones are the best I've tasted anywhere. There is also a very good selection of main meals or sandwiches. So whenever you're in Newton Abbot and need a very enjoyable freshly cooked meal I highly recommend The Country Table.More

We are frequent diners at the Country Table. The food is good quality at a reasonable (fiar) price. We like the friendly, chatty atmosphere. It can get a little noisey out front but there is a nice cosy rear room if you like things quiter....They have a great selection of home made foods. The only draw-back is that ordering can be slow so you need to be patient, but it's well worth the wait!More
