Proper lovely breakfast! Came and got a table at this lovely gaff, it's under different management but the ladies who run this place make a banging scran. Got three breakfasts and tried the pork dumplings as the chefs recommendation, all homemade washed down with a proper mug of coffee. Would recommend if you are in the area, lovely atmosphere lovely seating, with very good pricing. Look at the size of that zanger!

Devonport diner is a very friendly environment the staff are welcoming and the choice of food is brilliant and very affordable and also they always have different ideas for new food items and their bubble waffles and new cake pots are yummy and so affordable. So I would recommend everyone to go in and try there food and desserts as you won't be disappointed.

Great community atmosphere and great food. Really good prices. Definitely a favourite of mine. The Builders Breakfast is plentiful and well priced with a drink plus a refill included in the cost.

New owners! The lady running devonport diner is amazing. She works very hard and it shows. The authentic chinese food is amazing! A nice change to have real chinese food and not the British adaptations. And still the diner basics for those who want it. My 3 yr old enjoyed a bery tasty freshly baked sausage roll and croissant. Already keen to go back. Great service and chinese food. Thank you

Decided to treat myself to a bacon, egg and mushroom baguette for breakfast today along with a cappuccino from New Devonport Diner. It was absolutely delicious. The baguette was melt in the mouth with perfectly cooked egg and mushrooms, and a proper rasher of perfectly cooked bacon all washed down with a flavoursome cappuccino. I will certainly be recommending the diner to my friends. 5* service with friendly staff in a bright clean environment.
