The Old Library is run by Ashburton chefs Amy Mitchell and Joe Suttie, whose cooking has earned recognition in the Waitrose Good Food Guide, AA and Lonely Planet. The restaurant occupies a characterful space in this Dartmoor market town, with a relaxed approach—no bookings, first come first served.
Daytime menus feature breakfast and lunch dishes built around quality ingredients: full cooked breakfasts, fresh sandwiches and salads. Friday and Saturday evenings bring a more substantial kitchen, with mains like pan-fried fish of the day, braised beef and roasted aubergine. Homemade focaccia, preserves and careful sourcing reflect the local food culture of Devon and Dartmoor.
