The Old Library

Devon, Ashburton - Modern European - Café

Amy Mitchell and Joe Suttie’s cool, hand-crafted eatery now runs as a no-bookings daytime café (9am-3pm, Mon-Sat) serving breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes based on locally sourced ingredients. ‘Curious croissants’ are loaded with smoked bacon, avocado and poached egg, while ‘Mr Pig’ is slow-roasted crispy pork belly fired up with chipotle mayo and pickled red onion in home-baked focaccia. Otherwise, drop by for coffee with an Old Library ‘deli sub’ or an apple and custard doughnut. There’s also a twice-monthly dinner club, when the deal is a seven-course tasting menu (£70) featuring dishes such as braised pressed lamb with grilled chard, courgette and caponata plus a few mainly European wines.
