What a little gem we found for lunch, mum had the grilled plaice, dad and I had the liver and bacon. All cooked to perfection, service was impeccable, it was lovely that someone comes around snd serves the vegetables to you. Music in the background was nice, makes a change to go somewhere where pride is taken, music is not overbearing and good home cooked food. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back when in the area next 5/5 ?

Some Very Good News for Sidmouth, Osborne's Coffee Shop has reopened as Kate is now feeling better. We visited this Retro Restaurant today and our Service, Coffee and Food were excellent as usual. The varied Menu changes frequently and is shown on the Blackboard outside, it's very reasonably priced, but it's not for everyone, as it is the style of home-cooking practiced by my Mum and Grandma, and the decor features ancient Movie Stars. If you are from the Generation who like Meals with plenty of Veggies and Gravy, and Traditional Deserts with Custard, this is the place for you, think of it as Culinary Time Travel. We had Mains of Lasagne and Steak & Onion Pie. Our Deserts were Treacle Tart and Marmalade Bread & Butter Pudding (with Custard of course.) Our Meal was faultless, friendly and very filling, and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

So glad we found this charming little place. Wonderful ambiance, great food and cheerful competent service. Traditional English home cooked food and so nice not to be addressed as “Guys” by Your Server covered in tattoos and piercings. Everything was perfect. Stepping through the door was like entering a portal into a much better and more elegant time.

The centre of Sidmouth was full of tourists and everywhere was full for lunch. We went a little further out of the centre and found this place. Looking through the door, it looked full as well but a young lady saw me and came over. She informed me that a table would be free very shortly. We waited about 2 mins and were then led to a very nice table with comfortable bench seats. The service was swift but our order was a little slow in coming. Apparently the toaster in the kitchen (I think the conveyor type) had thrown a wobbly and was not cooperating. Anyway after a further short wait, out came our order. It was a good size but my wife could not finish hers, so being my birthday and feeling generous, I scoffed what remained on her plate. This place is super clean and great effort was made to keep it that way whilst we were there. Everything in the loo was hands free, soap delivery, tap operation and of course a powerful drier that nearly blew you out of the room. As for the bill, talk about value for money. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we were given a cheery farewell as we left. Brilliant!

We have been here on holiday many times over the years and it is always a good meal with excellent service. One the few places where you can get a good quality meal with a generous selection of vegetables.

Luckily we had booked a table for lunch as we have been here before so knew how busy it can be. My husband had the roast lamb which came with fresh vegetables and looked very nice. I wanted the cottage pie but after ordering the lady was very apologetic because it had sold out. I changed to have the lasagne and it was an excellent choice. Both meals were beautifully cooked and presented. Also a lovely pot of tea, not a teabag thrown in a mug! Lovely lady serving as well, but would advise you book to be sure of a table. Highly recommend if you like fresh cooked meals.
Enjoyed a very nice lunch of lamb steaks cooked to perfection in a lovely restaurant with great atmosphere and charming hosts; will definitely visit again soon.

Visited for the first time for ‘lunch’ and was not disappointed. I had the special of roast lamb that came with new /baked potatoes and mix vegetables- absolutely delicious. Meat really tender and served with a good thick gravy. The others had home made steak pie with chips and gammon with all the trimmings. Everything served lovely and hot and deserts of apple crumble with custard finished us off. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.
