As always the food was excellent. Only problem is that my wife will not eat anywhere else. It's that good!!!!!

If I call it old-fashioned, quaint, even the dreaded "nice", it might sound a little derogatory - but I don't mean it to be. It's the perfect place to take your Mum for lunch or a cup of tea when her feet are sore from exploring Deb's and Dingle's. Respectful staff, clean floors and table linen, unpretentious food. No risks, no hassle. Recommended dish: one of the many varieties of welsh rarebit.

We have been coming to Jingles over the past few years, and now visit Torquay as an excuse just to visit the restaurant. Fantastic food as always.

Personable service, plenty of space and excellent food set the Barton Cross apart from town-centre restaurants. Food is reliably first rate and beautifully presented. Plenty of space, company and opportunity for relaxed pre and post dinner banter.

This restaurant was fabulous, very recommended to all chinese lovers. Try the pineapple dessert. Very yummy.

We chose this restaurant because it advertised as a veggie venue. It took some searching out, as it is well hidden in the back streets of Stoke. Maybe that's why we were the only three people there all night. However, it could have been the fact that the décor hasn't been touched since the 1970s. Food was OK but tasted microwaved, and wasn't particularly cheap for what it was. The menu was not extensive, and wasn't particularly veggie either. Staff were not unpleasant, but we felt a little conspicuous as our conversation rattled loudly around the barn-like interior. We've seen worse places, but we won't be going back there.

All the food on the menu currently has 50% off!! I don't know how long this offer lasts, but we had a lamb rezala (beautiful curry with oriantal spices, goes well with sweet naan bread e.g. peshwari), a house special curry, egg fried rice, special fried rice, tarka dahl, sag aloo, peshwari naan, onion bahji's, somosa's and kebabs as starters, and two drinks each all for.... £29!!!!! The staff were very helpful when choosing the right sides for our dishes, and very friendly and polite. It may look a bit dated on the outside, but inside it is really nice, with lots of cosy nooks, dim lighting, lovely murals on walls and indian music. Must try!!!

I was in Exeter on business last Monday and was trying to eat somewhere exciting. Half the restaurants were closed which I found highly irregular for a City centre! Any Malysian- no, any Noodle bars-no, any decent modern chinese-no, any wok based street food-no. I was totally underwhelmed, but I remembered a review I had read on Sugarvine about a place called Starz, it took some finding but I was relieved to find it was open. On entering I was expecting to be the only diner but the place was really busy. I thought that I may be crashing a private party but this the owner said was a typical week night. I had found probably the busiest restaurant in Exeter. I ordered a ribeye steak and a fabulous top of the range USA red wine which was ridiculously under priced. The really nice waitress arrived with a huge plate full of the biggest and thickest ribeye I have ever had, tons of crisp and fluffy fries, loads of mushrooms, salad and a pot of peppercorn sauce. In truth I was overfaced but I had a great time, the atmosphere was electric and the service friendly and attentive. I will want to return as soon as I am in Exeter again. The quality of this American restaurant far exceeded the likes of TGI etc, this place had soul.

Very good pub Grub and good veggie options!

Nice place, nice food. I'd go there again.

I live in Bideford and often visit Crabbys. This bar is fantastic, lots of space good music good food during the day, but not served at night...Excellent fun on new years eve when the building and ALL the staff become Themed (playboy mansion in 2002 & Heaven and Hell 2003) Give it a go if you ever visit Bideford.

Very good restaurant. Service fantastic. Brilliant thai cooking with a unique atmosphere. Highly recomended.

Tried lanterns out on a Saturday night and it was very busy. Although waited a little while for the food, when it arrived it was very well prepared and was very enjoyable. Found the cost about average compared to others I tried in the area.

Wonderful fish restaurant. The best, but is expensive.

Excellent atmosphere. Small and welcoming. Hazel is wonderful, and the food lovely. Highly recommended.

Intimate atmoshphere, delicious food and excellent service. I travel all over the country, but the Thai Orchid is without doubt my favourite restaurant. Not to be missed.

Lovely restaurant in really good position. Cosy and friendly, with good fish specials board

Being a small pub meant the food and service was very fast and the food was exellent! The childrens room made it a lot easier when with the children. I recomended it for its nice atmosphere!
