Reviews in Exeter

We were entertaining 12 friends and you put on one very special luncheon! Paul and Philippa looked after us so well. And the whole Kenton team. Particularly the Chefs who we didn't get to meet. Nothing was too much trouble and the menu excellent. If anything the portions were on the generous side but we are not complaining! Our guests were all fairly local but none had heard of you. They do now and will be back!

A beautiful venue, attentive staff. Food was excellent, though we had to wait what seemed to be an inordinately long time for it to be served. With regard to the food, If ordering the 'Steak Baguette" it might be wise to ask the customer how they would like their steak, as rare does not always suit everyone. A very enjoyable experience, possible return for the next birthday of the group. Have also recommended it to to other friends and family.

My son and I did the wine safari. It is difficult to think of anything that would have made the experience even better. It was so well organised that the rain was scheduled for when we were eating the wonderful lunch.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience all round.

We booked a late lunch at Kenton for my birthday. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. The setting is beautiful. Would thoroughly recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch here.The staff could not have been more attentive,the food was delicious and the whole estate is beautiful.Could not recommend more!

As always the food was excellent, the atmosphere relaxing in one of the safari huts. The staff are always helpful and friendly. We had a miscommunication with our food order and it was rectified immediately. It was my first visit of 2024 and I’ll be back again. Nothing beats spending an afternoon at Kenton Park Estate with friends or family.

We've been going to the Vineyard for a few years and have always really enjoyed it there and love having lunch in a Safari Hut when we can. Yesterday we took 6 of our friends with us and had a wonderful time - they all said they'd go back and want us all to meet up there again . We have no hesitation in recommending the Vineyard.

First time to Kenton Vineyard on a beautiful sunny Saturday. Although we had booked we had to wait for over half an hour before our drink and food order was taken. We had the sharing platter which was plentiful but I felt that the addition of some chutneys and fruit would have been welcome. A stunning venue and I would return.

I booked a safari hut for a late lunch. Perfect location, chilled atmosphere, excellent Cheeky Fizz and delicious food all served with a smile and a laugh. Perfect afternoon and luckily the sun was shining!!

Hi, I had a wonderful 80th birthday celebration with you and hope I will be able to celebrate my 90th in the same way. I am sure I will be visiting with a much smaller party. The service was second to none so thank you for the great service I am sure you will see me many more times this season Margaret

Absolutely stunning venue, service is outstanding and the food/drinks are incredible.

We had a wonderfully relaxing lunch at the Motley cru bistro ( scallop and monkfish brochettes on a bed of delicious veg .) with some of their sparkling wine . It was a beautiful balmy day and enjoyed a walk around the grounds after lunch . Excellent staff - really pleasant .

Luckily for us, the Kenton vineyard is very close by so we often visit for coffee or lunch. It’s a fabulous place, a real hidden gem, which seems to get smarter and smarter each time we visit but always a friendly and welcoming place. Treated my daughter to lunch on a lovely sunny Friday. Fortunately I’d booked as it was pretty busy but we were seated in a lovely shaded cabana where we enjoyed a delicious vineyard white with the sharing deli platter of salami, prosciutto, cheeses etc. John looked after us admirably and even sorted a doggie bag for the leftovers.

What an amazing find! Had never heard of this place but off a friends recommendation took another friend for lunch for her 60th. A beautiful setting to say the least! We ate in one of the safari huts which is a must if you visit, so cosy! We were treated to a complimentary drink before our food which was a very welcome surprise. They have a fabulous menu but we chose to eat off the 'lighter bites' menu but we definitely want to go back to sample some of the other delights on offer. The staff were very informative and friendly, they made us feel very welcome and that they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our time there. Not overly expensive considering the stunning location and quality of service. Really looking forward to going back with my husband, I know he will love it! So pleased we found this place and thankyou so much for a lovely afternoon.

What a gem in the Devon countryside! We had a delicious family brunch in the stunning courtyard. The service was fantastic and so friendly. Lovely touches, like the macaroon on the hot drinks. We saw Jamie setting up for a wine tasting, which we will be booking very soon! Hats off to you all! We are excited for our next visit.

We had a family lunch. Food was excellent, but took a long time to arrive. Wine was also excellent. We enjoyed the laid back ambiance and friendly service, but didn’t like the smoke from the fire, which was unnecessary. Highly recommended we will be back.

We visited for brunch on a beautiful sunny day. In amongst the vines you feel you are in the south of France! Amazing bagel breakfast platter. Quality local produce cooked to perfection and generous portions! We will be visiting for pizza and cocktails soon!
