The Exeter Inn

We have always enjoyed the food and service at the Exeter over many years, but the meal I have just been served was not to the usual standard, I ordered the chicken and ham hock pie, the pie had virtually no meat in it at all the green beans were cold and the chips just not appetizing at all. I complained to the waitress to no effect and when I also commented on the poor meal to the person who seemed to be in charge I was informed she would inform the manager on her return, and that was it. Apparently it is under new management, so it is now a place to be avoided, pity.

Went for Sunday roast. Limited menu: beef or lamb, chicken and vegetarian option. I had to have the chicken as they couldn’t do the other meat well done, my friend had the beef. Very rare and looked very fatty and unpleasant. Good portion but £45 for just that and two drinks. Some muddle about what was vegan on the dessert menu so we didn’t bother. Will stick to other nearby option which has all you can eat carvery with far more choice. Disappointing but have had good lunches there in the past.

Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere. We visited on a Wednesday and took advantage of their supper club. £19 for two courses and £10 off a bottle of wine. Delicious food. Fabulous service. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit of you are in the area.
