Café · Okehampton
Set on the platform at Okehampton station, this is an easy stop with a pram — level access, tables outside where children can watch the trains come and go, and free parking before the walk up. Portions are generous and the all-day breakfast runs right through, so there's no rush to arrive by a certain hour. The coffee gets particular praise, the brownies and warm scones with local cheddar and chutney even more so, and the team is patient and genuinely helpful about allergies. It's dressed like an old-fashioned diner, with railway bits and pieces on the walls, a book sale, toilets and a small museum across the platform. Food can be slow to arrive even when it's quiet, and prices sit slightly above a standard station café — one parent found the atmosphere "very calm", which counts for a lot with children in tow.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
