The Lacemaker's Cafe

My nan and grandad live in Honiton and regularly enjoy going out for afternoon tea. In the first lockdown it was quite a change to the system for them not being able to go out. My sisters and I, who live up in Yorkshire, wanted to brighten their day, so I emailed the cafe asking if they did a delivery service, and they did! Two days later my grandparents were tucking into a delicious afternoon tea, and since then have enjoyed more deliveries.

Lovely lunch in the sunny flowery garden. We had goats cheese tart and ham salad with elderflower drinks. Highly recommend this local cafe.

The food and service were both excellent. I had the local crab sandwich which was both huge and delicious. Our waitress was extremely jolly and I was sorry not to have any cash on me to leave as a tip. (My husband told me there was no easy way to add service when paying by card - this might be something they want to sort out!)

Although you can't sit and enjoy your coffee you can have it as takeaway. Also picked up cheese scones fresh and warm from the oven. They were delicious.

We looked through the front window and thought \How Quaint\. There was also a seafood platter advertised on the board outside which caught our attention. On entering the cafe, it took a few minutes before somebody came to seat us. I believe it was the owner Ray. He seated us and at this point the cafe was pleasant and noise level low. Ray took our order and even returned to ask what kind of bread we wanted with our meal. Then came a group of five men into the restaurant and, without so much as a by your leave, proceeded to move empty table around and in doing so, encroaching on our space. They were very loud and \pushy\. This was the only issue we had as the food was of an acceptable quality. The scampi and white bait was out of the freezer but was \O.K\ the portions were good and the salad fresh. The coleslaw tasted good and so as far as the food was concerned, it was fine. It was just the manner in which the restaurant allowed these men to move tables around willy nilly and not even an excuse me from anybody. Yes, I would return but there are so many Bistros, Cafes and restaurants close by so it would be a while!
