Yarde Cafe was converted in 2002 (from a former chicken shack) supported by a small grant from the Department for Transport's "Cycling Projects Fund"


Located at the highest point on the Tarka Trail, the cafe offers  fairtrade teas and coffees, organic soft drinks, home-made cakes and pies,  healthy and/or fairtrade snacks, local ice-cream, filled rolls, salads, home-made pizza, and a couple of specials made on the premises.

We have a licensed bar offering local real ales, farmhouse cider and a selection of affordable wines.

The Cyclist's Breakfast combines local and organic ingredients including  free-range organic eggs from 4 miles away, real bacon from the Cornish Bacon Company, local butcher's sausages and organic baked beans.

Some are organically grown on our own smallholding at St Giles-in-the-Wood (5 miles away)
Pete Bartlett at Bramley Wood Organics, Buckland Filleigh does lovely exotic salads and shitake mushrooms (he also makes his own charcoal which we use on our barbecue and supplies wood from a sustainably managed forest)
The Jolly Gardner provides us with some very local salads (about a ¼ mile up the road) as well as delicious jams and chutneys - available in the cafe and to take away by the jar.

Local Ales and traditional cider
The Forge Brewery in nearby Hartland produces our much loved Hartland Blonde ale as well as one or two others that we thoroughly enjoy from time to time...!

We have just discovered an excellent cider producer from nearby Eggesford in the Taw valley. He uses entirely traditional methods to produce an authentic natural product from a blend of sweet, bittersweet and sharp cider apple varieties. We offer his  delicious fermentation as Taw Valley Gold.
