Stumbled across this place by chance... great service and absolutely fabulous food! Returned a few days later it was so good.

If I ever find myself in the lucky position to have time for a nice lunch with one of my kids, I often take them here. The food is excellent, and I have never had a bad meal. Good sized portions for those that want them, and smaller plates for those that don't. You can tell that Spelt is run by people who understand hospitality, which is why I keep going back.

My wife and I have just been for a lovely Sunday roast at the Restaurant & I felt I?d write a review.
It?s probably one of the nicest Roasts I?ve had ( certainly in nigh on 60 years !!! An ancient relative religiously spent Sundays at Mass & making a Roast ).
Anyway the past is another country.
Not only the food but the service by Emily and Sophie ( I hope I?ve got their names right ) was so good and they were a delight. I hope you?ll give our compliments to the chef too ( Donna? ).
We aren?t local but spend a lot of time in Devon & would very happily return & sample some more of your fare

What a truly wonderful little find. We were staying in Bampton and this restaurant is the apitomy of a neighbourhood restaurant. Plenty of locals dropping by and seed to be a regular occurence. Excellent Sunday roast really good portions of both meat and vegetables. The starters were lovely taste combinations and the sweets were the same. The weekday menu looks fabulous too. Staff and the chef were attentive friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.

Hands down, THE best meal out EVER! For myself and my partner included. Could not recommend ?Spelt? highly enough. Friendly engaging staff, pleasant atmosphere and food was just next level. Reasonably priced too. Cannot even go into every little detail about the delicious dishes we had as it will take to long. Just go and try it for yourself! You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Spelt!

Had a lovely lunch of two small plates and a fantastic pint of Hit For Six brewed very locally by Cottage Beer Project. I was the only customer so was spoilt by the incredibly friendly staff. Excellent food and service. They describe themselves as a neighbourhood restaurant. I wish mine had one this good.

Fantastic food, we ate so much we practically rolled out of the restaurant. We shared four starters and two mains and surprisingly didn?t have room for pudding! Our stand outs have to be the tempura prawns and pork cheek (both starters) and the loaded potato skins with lentil ragu - but in all honesty we licked every plate clean! We had a bottle of the appassimento and I also had a glass of the English sparkling from the nearby vineyard that I would also recommend. The staff were very friendly and even spent a bit of time talking to us as they cleared up about crocheting (I think her name was Catherine!). One to put on your bucket list for Devon! Sorry for the terrible photos, we just wanted to eat!

Delicious food presented beautifully with a lovely selection of local drinks options. Outstanding, friendly service. We came for weekday lunch with our dogs who were welcomed and stayed nice and cool in the shady courtyard despite hot temperatures. Spelt definitely lives up to its very good reputation!

Staff were very attentive, lovely back ground music and lovely atmosphere..Couldn?t ask for any more?Make sure you visit, you will not be disappointed?

This is a fabulous little restaurant. From the minute we entered nothing was too much trouble. We ordered a starter (which was amazing) but we're told beforehand that there may be a wait due to the number of people already there. We didn't wait long (about 20 minutes) which was really good. The staff were super friendly and helpful and definitely made the visit more enjoyable ? If we weren't limited on time, we would have enjoyed trying more from the menu. Still this provides the perfect reason to return ?

6 of us went for lunch. The staff were very attentive and flexible with anything anyone ordered. Everyone LOVED what they ordered. The food was EXCELLENT as was the value. We would all love to go back. The only complaint was from my dad who wished his latte was bigger!!!
