Food & Drink in Totnes
Totnes punches well above its weight for its size when it comes to food. The Saturday market, the Riverford organic empire at Wash Barn between Buckfastleigh and Staverton, the pubs out in the parishes, and an unusually high density of independent cafes, delis and roasters on the High Street.
Eating out
From the long-table lunches at the Riverford Field Kitchen to the Cott Inn at Dartington, the Steam Packet on the Plains and the Watermans Arms over at Bow Bridge. Browse our restaurant and pub guides for in-depth coverage.
Markets and local produce
Friday and Saturday markets in Civic Square, plus a Tuesday Elizabethan market in summer. Country Cheeses on Ticklemore Street, Ben’s Farm Shop out at Wash Barn, and a clutch of butchers and bakers from town centre to outlying villages.
Drink local
Sandridge Barton (the new home of the Sharpham vineyard), Bridgetown Brewery and the New Lion taproom are all within walking distance of central Totnes.
