Reviews in Exeter

the best pub there is in the world, everyone is so friendly and very welcoming. the best drinks i have had in a life time.

We had a wonderful lunch here before Christmas. Excellent home cooked food, good size portions and personal service. Good value. Good parking. Plan to go back there.

Had a lovely meal here, the staff were really good with us, The wine was excellent as was our food. Will definitely return it had a great atmosphere.

came here to try the new menu, you can choose as many starter and mains as you can eat for £12.50. But you have to be able to finish everything or they charge a fine. Great food, great bar area and wine list. The restaurant however is too open plan and lacks atmosphere, it could do with a few partitions dotted around to create some warmth. Will go back though. I think this is probably the best Chinese in Exeter, all the city centre ones are out of date and shabby.

Matt, Lizzie and their very professional team recently catered for my daughter's wedding reception in Powderham Castle. They were quietly efficient and helpful and and provided us with wonderful food. We chose them following our experience of their delicious Sunday lunches and memorable suppers. They are 'THE BEST'. Kenton residents are so lucky to have this exceptional establishment in their village. You will need to book a table if you wish to eat there at a weekend.

Went here last Saturday and a very good dinner, there is a new chef and the restaurant has been recently refurbished to a high modern standard but still in keeping with the pub. As well as the menu they had a good choice of specials. My wife had the haloumi kebabs and I had pheasant breast stuffed with black pudding sage, both were excellent. Service was quick and very pleasant.

This is the finest Indian Restaurant I have visited for a long time, small, friendly and very welcoming, a pleasure to dine here, the staff are excellent, and so is the food, the place to eat!

Dear Sir after hearing some positive reports on the Blue Ball Inn at Sandygate and watching as good quality food was being served in a nice ambience, I decided to give it a try. Good luck, after phoning approximately 10 times, during opening hours and not receiving an answer, after waiting for minutes at a time, I decided to give up. Very poor service, an answerphone may have been helpful!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Want to visit again soon.Made me feel at home.Food was plentiful and wholesome.

A little hidden gem with lovely food and a warm friendly atmosphere. Has a hidden walled garden which is ideal on a warm summers day

My main course was frankly very poor. It wasn't even hot so I complained (first time ever). They replaced it with apologies and it was better but still not good. The rest of the meal was fine. To be fair they didn't charge us for my substandard main course and also threw in the wine as a freebie.

i loved it especially the puds

A dozen of us ate a wide selection of meses - my companions seemed content enough but I thought the food was generally uninteresting, I wouldn't choose to eat any of it again; Lebanese beer was almost tasteless; surroundings were tatty; expensive for a selection of dull dishes that were all like starters - not a meal.

My first visit there was totally by accident,it was quite busy so had to wait 10 mins to be shown to a bench, a bit tight space but I had the opportunity to see what others were eating,the seafood soup was very tasty, my daughter was so envious I let her have half of it, it came in a huge pot. The second time we had the chicken curry, it was really tasty too, cheesecake was a let down, will definitely go there again.

i don't mind paying for good food and good service, but i hate sloppy and unprofessional service that is what we saw as a family. the steak at £11.95 was tough, full of gristle, and no wonder they offer sharp knives, the portions are small, the roast dinners were warm, the apple crumble , i had to look for the crumble it was thin and with cores it was crunchy, the hot chocolate should have been called warm chocolate and when we asked for an espresso we got the response from the manager it is knackered. we left poorer and still hungry, would not recommend to anyone, yet this place could be good if they took more time gave a proper portion and ensured the food was edible and hot, and remembered that politeness doesn't cost anything, use at your own option i wouldn't again.

simple home cooked meals using local fresh ingredients for around a fiver in such a cosy old 3 storey pub, house wines just £5 a bottle, no surprise then its always so busy and a favourite haunt for Exeter university students with its late 2am license. Live jazz bands on Saturday nights well worth going and a Sunday roast with live blues also £5 !

From outside looked fresh, however inside a different story. The service and food was average, however what put us off was the luck of space. The tables were too close to each other so we could here the conversation on the next table!!

Just exactly and absolutely what Exeter needs. A fabulous evening, great food and fantastic wine - we will be back!
