About Us
Nestled in the heart of the quiet riverside village of Combeinteignhead situated in Hearn Field on the banks of the Teign. The Woodshed Cafe is a destination, bespoke coffee bar & cafe that has become a beloved stop for all who explore our beautiful countryside.
We believe great food and drink taste even better with a view – and our spot overlooking the river delivers just that. Whether you’re fuelling up with a rich, expertly pulled espresso before a cycle ride, warming your hands around a velvety hot chocolate after a ramble through the fields, or treating the whole family to hearty hot food by the water’s edge, we’ve crafted every detail with you in mind. Our doors are always open to dog walkers (and their four-legged friends!), rowers coming off the river, and anyone seeking a welcoming space to rest, refuel and share stories.
We’re proud to be more than just a cafe – we’re a gathering place where the local community and visitors alike can slow down, savour the moment, and connect over quality fare made with care. We serve the finest freshly ground coffee and a full range of speciality teas, and hot chocolate (made from real chocolate flakes!) as well as a large range of delicious hot and cold food for breakfast and lunches with breathtaking views. We also sell smoothies, velvety milkshakes and ice creams…there’s also free treats for your furry best friend.
We aim to support local businesses and to keep food miles down by sourcing our produce as close to home as possible from here in the West Country.
Since taking over The Woodshed in May 2025, Sarah has enjoyed elevating and expanding the menu & opening hours in partnership with long standing friend and fellow Combeinteignhead resident Stuart due to the increased custom.
Both Sarah and Stuart previously enjoyed successful busy and at times highly stressful careers. After retiring early, The Woodshed Café is the perfect change in direction & pace. Stuart says “It’s the best office window I’ve ever had”
Regulars can get a free coffee with our loyalty card, and doggy treats are always on offer for our four-legged friends. Keep an eye on our socials for occasional events including our popular Summer sundowner sessions.
