Not everyone knows that it is possible to have the Devon Tearooms for private luncheon parties. Sliding doors enable you to have a portion (according to the size of your party) of these spacious rooms shut off from the general public thus ensuring, your guests of absolute privacy. No matter how large or how small your luncheon or bridge party may be, the Devor. will cater for it as only the Devon knows how to do.

Everything in connection with the Devon is run on most hygienic lines. The kitchen, all tha a modern kitchen should be, is equipped with everything possible for a perfect service for patrons.
