Yarde Orchard Cafe
Yarde Orchard is a cafe and licensed bar serving freshly prepared food
and refreshments to local people, cyclists and walkers.
The cafe uses locally sourced, fair trade and organic products wherever possible.
We use fair trade Union Coffee and Southwest Milk.
Open Saturday and Sunday 10am till 3pm
The cafe is an up-cycled historic 1930's sailor's dormitory from Plymouth docks, renovated into a bright and beautiful venue.
Yarde Orchard is located 4 miles south of Great Torrington, North Devon.
We are right alongside the Tarka Trail Cycle Path,
Route 27 (Devon Coast to Coast) and Route 3 (West country way),
part of the SUSTRANS U.K. National Cycle Network.
Lots of cyclists use this part of the trail every year,
enjoying the area’s peace and tranquility – as well as our homemade cakes.
The Tarka Trail is one of the most attractive and prestigious stretches of the U.K. National Cycle Network.
