MEET THE TEAM
Our wonderful little kitchen is led by Head Chef and co-owner, Char. Always looking to work with local producers and suppliers she cooks up delicious and creative dishes inspired by a variety of cuisines.
Leading the front of house team is Aimee, here to ensure we are offering our guests a memorable experience. Always calm under pressure whilst keeping the team motivated and supported.
Ben and Char as owners working in the café day to day provide all the tools and support needed for our fantastic team to deliver the delicious food and service standards that they are so passionate about.
OUR STORY
Char and Ben, who can be seen between the kitchen and front of house, became part of the Home Farm Café family in September 2023 joining Nick and Sarah as partners. They join with a wealth of hospitality experience both in Devon and further afield and have become the new faces of the business drawing on the experience that Nick and Sarah have of transforming a small tea room into such a beautiful thriving café over the past 12 years.
Serving brunch, lunch and excellent coffee and homemade cakes, we are very proud of our team and the food that comes out of our small but perfectly formed kitchen! We are excited to have revived dinner service on Friday and Saturday nights creating an intimate informal dining experience celebrating the incredible produce on our doorstep and the creativity of our kitchen team.
The café has achieved numerous awards, such as Gold Taste of the West, Gold for Best Café/Tea Room in South Devon, Gold for Visit Devon and has even achieved a Silver in the South West Tourism Awards.
As farmers, gardeners and food enthusiasts, we are passionate about Dartmoor and the West Country. All the café’s meat is sourced from farms right here on the edge of the moor with the rest of our produce as local as possible, favouring Devon where we can.
Our food is hearty, full of flavour and aims to showcase local producers. The menu is a combination of simple lunchtime favourites, colourful bowls of hot soup, crusty baguettes and daily specials with international influences and the flair of a passionate kitchen team.

Our Sister Cottage
THE OLD FLOUR MILL
We have a beautiful self-catering property in the heart of the Dartmoor landscape and only a 15 minute drive from the café.
The Old Flour Mill is located on a working farm, in a pretty courtyard and with views of rolling Devon hills and fabulous English countryside. The farm stretches out over a gorgeous landscape and with a fishing lake, tennis court and woodland/hillside walks on tap, this is the perfect place to get away from it all.
Sarah and Nick lovingly restored parts of the buildings. The cottage was the farm’s old flour mill. Grain would be sent down to the millstone to be rolled (the millstone still sits outside). The couple have retained elements of old by restoration and hope that you find the farm as magical as they always have.
With a herd of Devon red ruby cattle, sheep, chickens, bird life, one adorable dog (Coco) the farm offers nature at every turn. Find out more…
