Greedy Bird Kitchen

Greedy Bird Kitchen is a sandwich shop and catering kitchen on East Street in Ashburton, the moorland town on Dartmoor's eastern edge. It has been trading since 2020, open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm, and runs a fresh salad bar alongside the counter, with vegetarian options built in rather than added on as an afterthought.

The day-to-day menu covers sandwiches, warm paninis and wraps, and jacket potatoes, but regulars single out the breakfast side - full English, bagels and homemade soups all come up repeatedly in reviews, alongside the coffee. Beyond the counter, the kitchen runs an outside catering service for office meetings, funerals, corporate events and birthday celebrations, which keeps the business going beyond passing trade from the high street. With a 4.7 rating and over 80 Google reviews, and a strong TripAdvisor ranking among Ashburton's restaurants, it has built a reputation as one of the town's more dependable places for a proper breakfast or a quick, homemade lunch.
