Conservatory Cafe Barnstaple & Garden Room Ashford

Fresh seasonal bistro dining

At St John's we are proud to use local suppliers and locally sourced produce wherever possible, freshly cooked every day.  We cater for all diets from gluten free to vegetarian and vegan, and all appetites, large and small!

We offer a wide selection of meals and snacks from breakfast and morning coffee to delicious freshly cooked lunches (including daily specials) and afternoon Devon Cream Teas!  If you have any specialized dietary needs please contact us prior to your visit and we will try and accommodate your requirements.

We are open seven day a week – meals, snacks or just a coffee break you are assured of a warm welcome. In the warmer summer months sit out in our large patio areas surrounded by aromatic plants and bushes.
