The Currant Bun

Located on the outskirts of Okehampton, right at the gateway to Dartmoor, The Currant Bun is a beloved family-run pitstop that has become a “hidden gem” for those on two wheels. Situated at the Sourton Cross Services (and also operating as a mobile unit at the Exeter Road Industrial Estate), it provides an essential refuelling point for riders preparing to tackle the sweeping moorland roads or the A30 corridor.

The Currant Bun is a proud participant in the Bike and Brew Passport initiative. It offers a warm, personal welcome that is characteristic of its family-run roots. For bikers touring Devon, it’s a friendly spot to grab a passport stamp while connecting with a community that prioritises mental health and social riding.

What makes it particularly motorcycle-friendly is the ample, flat parking space available at the services, which is a major benefit for riders of larger bikes or those travelling in convoys. The service is famously friendly—often described as “breakfast with a smile”—and the outdoor seating allows you to enjoy the fresh Devon air with your bike safely in view.

The menu is a celebration of “proper” comfort food. Whether you are in the mood for one of their big, juicy burgers, a sublime breakfast sandwich, or a slice of their highly-rated homemade cake, everything is fresh and made-to-order. It’s the kind of unpretentious, high-quality roadside stop that turns a long ride into a memorable journey.
