Reviews in Exeter

This was our second visit to Kenton, having discovered it for the first time last summer and we were really looking forward to our visit having thoroughly loved everything on that previous visit. We were lucky enough to be allocated one of the huts that overlooks the vines, this made our visit even more fun, having our own little space, out of the wind and having such a lovely view. The staff were very attentive throughout, explaining the menu to us and talking us through the wines available. We decided to order the Motley Cru Deli Feast Sharing Platter as we'd had the same thing on our last visit and we're blown away by it. Unfortunately however, on this visit the standards seem to have slipped ever so slightly when it came to the overall content and presentation of the platter. We had to send a couple of pieces of bread back as they'd gone stale from having been out too long, but fair play they corrected that very quickly. Last year the platter had nuts, fruit, chutney, olives and even guacamole amongst the platter, whereas on this visit we had to ask for chutney, oil and butter separately and sadly there was no sign of olives, grapes or nuts. Last time around the quiche was served warm whereas on this occasion all the baked items were served cold. It's difficult to be sure but I'd also say overall the quantity of cheese and biscuits was marginally smaller. Last year it was all served in a lovely rustic basket whereas this time it was loaded onto the back of what I assume to be an IKEA pizza serving paddle (it was labelled IKEA on the handle). The food still tasted lovely and we will certainly go back again. The wine (Grape Escape) we had with the meal was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon, but we couldn't help but feel that it wasn't quite on a par with that first time.

Simply fantastic. Ben was a wealth of knowledge and a brilliant host for our wine safari. A great story teller and catered for everyone.

Very enjoyable lunch in a great setting. Excellent food and wine and great value. We’ll be back.

Absolutely beautiful lunch, delicious wine, perfect service - amazing - even in the rain!

Fantastic food, great location, friendly people, fully recomend

Beautiful location . Great staff , nice atmosphere. It was a special occasion and it didn’t disappoint!

Fabulous venue, great attentive staff, thank you!

I booked a table for 3 friends and myself for lunch time on 9th July. The table was ready for us when we arrived. The staff were very attentive, the.menu very compressive with lots of choice. Smaller or larger portions. We had a bottle of Pigeage- Solaris Pinotin which was delicious! My only criticism is that the food is served,beautifully, on wooden platters. Very difficult we found to cope with chicken, which needed cutting off the bone. Would have been easier on a plate we felt. Overall a happy experience!

Had a fantastic brunch to celebrate the start of my 60th celebrations. Food was amazing (as always!). Staff and location was fabulous ❤️

Always great to sit outside and have a lunch here, tasty food, good fizz and Paul always looks after you

Food and service was great 10/10

Birthday Brunch for 4 friends. Fantastic Service and food fabulous. So good we have booked a couple more outings xx

Beautiful venue…even in the rain! We used to live in Kenton,very impressed with the brilliant job done on the Estate.Food delicious ….staff definitely need some training…pleasant but a bit chaotic.

Visited for the first time Saturday for lunch. Amazing settling, fabulous food and excellent service. Will definitely be back

Lovely lunch. Superb food. Table service a bit disorganised - maybe a new member of staff?). The escaped chicken was rather amusing!

Fantastic location, really good food and amazing service. The only bad thing will be the place becoming more popular in the future as it has felt like a locals hidden gem since opening.

A group of 4 of us came for lunch on Tuesday in one of the Safari tents and had the sharing platter which I must say was enormous but beautiful. The service ambience food was wonderful. I do visit on a monthly basis and will certainly continue to do so.
