Castle Barton - Menu

Excellent service and wonderful food. Love going there just like stepping back in time. Lovely log fire in the dining room.

Very friendly, welcoming, unexpected find on a family day out! Went to Compton Castle and stumbled across the road to find this sweet place, beers, wines, just so relaxing, refreshing to find a place for value for money!

We stumbled across this quaint place after visiting the National Trust property opposite. Compton Castle doesn’t seem to have its own tea room but this made a welcome alternative with delicious cakes, flapjacks and a refreshing pot of tea all enjoyed in their sunny hillside garden.

Superb quant setting, so good we went twice. We were staying at Compton Pool Farm walked to Barton Castle, then called into the restaurant opposite for afternoon tea which was so delicious, we booked for dinner Friday evening. The lady that served us was so friendly helpful and the food was excellent as well as being very good value for money. Would definitely recommend would go again.

I have fond memories of this traditional Devon restaurant/tearoom that I visited years ago. Situated across from Compton Castle, it is a popular stop for visitors. The food, including lasagne and fruitcake, was top-notch and homemade. The prices were reasonable. The restaurant had a charming old-fashioned or retro atmosphere, with clean and tidy furnishings. The service was friendly. Cream teas were a popular choice and I'm sure they were delightful as well.

We had tea and cake at this restaurant. The tea was reminiscent of the kind we make at home - hot and strong, just the way we like it. The carrot cake and lemon cake were homemade and delicious. The prices were very reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent. We decided to visit after touring Compton Castle, as there was no cafe there. The restaurant, Castle Barton, was conveniently located just opposite the castle. The setting was lovely.

Went to visit Compton Castle and as they did not have refreshments there, we crossed the road to this lovely place. Prior to our timed visit, we had morning coffee which was really nice Dow Egberts served in a cafetiere. The waitress was the daughter of the owners and it was nice to be informed of the business they have there, with the cafe, restaurant and an outdoor catering business. We returned for lunch a really nice baguette and a cream tea. The grounds were lovely, and everything was very English about the place.

This tea room/restaurant is delightful. The food is of excellent quality, and the ambiance is charmingly old-fashioned, making it feel like you're having a meal in someone's cozy living room. They also have a lovely outdoor garden area, perfect for enjoying your meal if the weather permits. The paninis were freshly made and came with a generous portion of salad garnish, crisps, and delicious coleslaw. The service may be a bit slow, but it is well worth the wait. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area or visiting the National Trust's Compton Castle.

My wife and I always like to go out for a Christmas meal before the big day – and Castle Barton never lets us down! The food is traditional home cooked produce served by smiling and friendly waitresses, the quality and quantity was just superb; and as I said to the Chef afterwards: “It was just like my Mum’s cooking!” – to which he replied that his Mum had taught him to cook and that was just what he always aimed for .. traditional home cooked food. The dining room was decorated in a beautiful and traditional way with no gaudy flashing lights but a picturesque scene of the 12 days of Christmas in one corner, and ornate décor around the warming open log fire. I cannot fault anything and the p...
