About us

Since taking over The Woodshed in May 25, Sarah has enjoyed expanding the menu and opening hours and she has recently been joined in partnership by long standing friend and fellow Combeinteignhead resident Stuart to help manage the increasing demand. Both Sarah and Stuart previously enjoyed busy and at times highly stressful careers and Sarah recently also ran a thriving cafe on Dartmoor.  The Woodshed Café is the perfect change in direction. Stuart says “It’s the best office window I’ve ever had” and Sarah adds “At The Woodshed we like to offer a wide variety of beverages as well as hot and cold food options, sourcing high quality local produce wherever possible. We offer vegan and gluten free options”.

The Woodshed Cafe is situated in Hearn Field, a beautiful 6 and a half acre piece of land on the banks of the River Teign in the village of Combeinteignhead.  It was named after the local farmer and landowner Percy Hearn who bequeathed it upon his death in 1983 to be managed by the Parish Council for recreational purposes.  We like to think that Percy would be very happy to see our customers enjoying a drink and a natter while taking in the breathtaking views

All are welcome, not just those from the Parish and we are happy to provide sustenance to walkers, cyclists, dog-walkers, nature lovers, rowers - in fact anyone who wants to become part of our community, even if only for a fleeting visit.  

Regulars can get a free coffee every now and then with our loyalty cards, 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.

It’s all about the coffee 

We use The Coffee Company’s premium beans - Pure Earth’s Organic Marcala Coffee

This Fairtrade coffee guarantees a better deal for third world producers. The Marcala Triple Certified Beans are a complex pure arabica blend. The fruity sweetness, lightness and acidity of the Columbian and Honduras coffees is balanced well by the heavy earthy and spicy notes of the Sumatra.

We also use compostibe double wall PLA Edenware Cups, made from paper and are lined on the inside with PLA, a renewable plant based alternative to plastic, which will biodegrade along with the paper – traditional recyclable paper cups have a plastic-based inside lining, which needs to be separated before it can be recycled. The Sip Thru Lids are vegware, made completely from PLA, these are completely compostable.
