The Holmans Courtyard Cafe - Torbay

We are a family group of 4 adults, and have visited many times whilst on holiday, and on every occasion we were very pleased with both the food and the service we were given, pleasant and accommodating staff at all times. Covid times hit hard and closed down the Courtyard. In 2021, we visited twice in that year, it was closed or had door vandalized. Now coming to our recent visit this year in September, hooray it was open. We sat down, looked at the menu, inflation had hit the prices, but not a problem, as we were used to their food and service we ordered and looked forward to our meals How disappointing was the small portion of food we received, poor feeble excuses for why our food took so long, people arriving after us got served first. Our order did not come out as what was written on the menu, which resulted in another feeble excuse from a member of staff. The place was looking a bit of a dump to how remembered it before. This was an establishment worthy of its past great reputation. It has been regretful that I have made this review, it is a sad shame. I know that a lot may disagree with my review, but maybe they got a better service.

Discovered this hidden gem in Paignton. Enjoyed a delicious lunch that was beautifully presented and flavorful. They offer a variety of options for both vegetarians and vegans. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely return to this restaurant if I am in the area again.

My parents came here today to celebrate my mom's birthday and had the most delicious lunch in a lovely, spotlessly clean cafe. Excellent.

The people and the food here are really friendly and the place is clean and welcoming, but we waited over half an hour for a sandwich and soup. If you are working and on a lunch break or you have limited time in the car park then this may not be the place for you. However, if you have plenty of time and you don't mid waiting then the food here is really good.

Popped in with an old friend for lunch. I had a lovely steak and mushroom home made proper pie with chips beans and gravy. All wash down with a mug of tea all for around a tenner! We sat in the courtyard itself which was lovely. So were the staff! Will pop in again soon.
