Wonderful Rowen worked hard all summer making coffees and teas as part of our barista team; she returned to her Marine Biology course at Falmouth university a couple of weeks ago, via a study trip to the Azores! Have a great term Rowen.

Of course, our season doesn't end here on Berry Head, we are open all year from 9am.

September is a time of change for our team! Today we said farewell to lovely Katie who is heading off to Cambridge to train as a midwife. But we have welcomed our old friend Doug back to the team recently, filling a gap in our kitchen team!

Good luck to those staff leaving us for uni and back to school this week.

We are very sad to share news of the passing of our wonderful regular customer Tom Canham. Tom visited us most days and was at the heart of the Berry Head dog walking community; many of you will have known him well and experienced his warmth and desire to draw people into 'the gang'.

On Friday 25th we will be hosting Tom's wake; as a result we will be closing the inside of the cafe at 12 noon, and not serving any hot food in the afternoon. Customers are still welcome to join us outside in the afternoon where we will be selling our full range of drinks, cakes, cream teas and ice creams.

RIP Tom, you have been a special gentleman for all of us.

Lovely kind gentleman RIP x

Awww such a lovely man xx

Tom was the first person I met when I started at the guardhouse in April, not only did we share the same great smile and energy each morning but also the same surname wow how lucky am I. Always put others before himself and certainly brightened my day. Family always Tom, and missing you lots xx ๐Ÿ˜˜

So sad to hear RIP ๐Ÿ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

RIP Tom. Such sad news. ๐ŸŒˆ

Tom was the first person I spoke to on my very first day at the guardhouse, from then on he showed his mischievous, caring and beautiful nature every single morning without fail, he will be so dearly missed by everyone, my deepest love to the family and little biggles ๐Ÿพ โค๏ธ

What a lovely man Tom was. Sadly missed. Xx

R.I.P sir

Such sad news, Tom was a lovely man and welcomed me and my dog Bosley into the Guardhouse dog and coffee gang when I lived there. He will be greatly missed x

Oh no, that’s such sad news. I missed Tom when I left the GH. Such a lovely man, RIP Tom you were a true gentleman โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Oh no this has made me very sad ๐Ÿ˜ญ Tom was a very special man. Sleep tight lovely man, I hope your having a cuppa up there with Dad and Sue and putting the world to rights. xx

So sorry to hear about Tom. When I moved to Brixham and got my puppy 9 years ago, Tom was the first person in Berry head to welcome us and we regularly saw each other and had a chat. Such an interesting man and lovely kind soul. Condolences to Margaret. Sara

Will miss you Bro

So very sad to hear this. David Charles Bradbury and I were fond of Tom and will miss seeing him when we come for breakfast.

Such sad news to read this today.. Tom was a very well respected, kind hearted, polite, caring & genuine man. He would always take time to stop & say hello, tell me stories of his life as a policeman ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿผ‍โ™‚๏ธ & have a catch up on the latest rugby! RIP TOM ๐Ÿ–ค

I remember Tom very well out walking our Dogs A lovely Lovely Man My Heart goes out to his wife family x Yvonne mullion Cornwall England

Oh Jo. I am so sorry to read of your dads passing. Condolences to you and your mum. Sending you many hugs and much love. Xxx

Tom, first through the door, every morning 9 am prompt! His distinctive voice would call across the café ‘mornin Deb’ and of course I’d reply…’Mornin Tom’,..I’m sure he must have done this with all the staff, it always made us have a little smile to each otherโ˜บ๏ธ Just a lovely man.. who was easy to love๐Ÿฅฐ Rest in heavenly peace Tom, I never got the chance to thank you for your lovely card…we all miss you very much…๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Tom will be sadly missed RIP

Tom was so kind and supportive to me when I lost my husband and for always after. I so loved to see him each day and have a chat, so generous with his kindness and time, I will miss him very much, Berry Head will not be the same without him. Thank you Tom and love and strength to his family xx

Thank you so much for all the messages for Dad. Mum and I were devastated to lose him but we continue to be grateful for all the support we have received. Biggles is having extra cuddles and enjoys his walks with Sophia Stepney . the Guardhouse Cafe was a place he loved so much and the staff have been so supportive now and during Dad’s illness.

RIP Tom.

RIP Tom, was very sad to hear the news ๐Ÿพ

Tom was a wonderful and kind man. He always had a smile on his face! When I was a Ranger at Berry head he always checked in and made sure we had our breaks and most of time there was cake involved - that Tom has bought us from the Guardhouse Café ! He did a lot of voluntary work for the torbay coast and countryside trust. From selling books to working in the visitor centre, locking up and raising money. But mainly for me it felt like he was part of the team at Berry Head and a friend to us all. I will miss seeing him at Berry head and sending love this family in this difficult time. xx

GOLD again for the Guardhouse Cafe!

Last week the Taste of the West mystery shoppers visited us (on a pretty hectic busy day too!) and we are so proud that for the 6th year in a row they have awarded us with a GOLD award.

Many thanks judges for your helpful feedback, and for the wonderful warm words you used to describe our food, our team, the atmosphere, and our focus on local suppliers.

In particular we are so proud to read the feedback you gave about one of our new staff who's just finished his GCSEs, Edward.

"he looked after us with care and attention and a cracking positive attitude. If he didnโ€™t know the answer to a question he went to find out, and he brought everything we needed. They were much busier than expected due to a teachersโ€™ strike on a sunny day, but the service didnโ€™t slip for a second. He checked that the meal was ok and was thorough and attentive. Itโ€™s fantastic to see young people being brought into the hospitality industry and looked after so well."

Taste of the West GOLD 2017 - 2018 - 2019 - 2021 - 2022 - 2023
(no awards in 2020 due to covid!)
