Reviews in Exeter

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.

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!!

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.

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

Best thing to happen in Exeter for foodies for years. Coonsistent, quality food, at realistic prices and friendly atmosphere. Can't praise it enough and I am Ms Pickey when it comes to restaurants!

I have lived in Exeter for the last 10 years and this has to be without a doubt Exeter's finest restaurant. The service rivals some fine dining venues in the area. With great product knowledge and a friendly warm yet balanced approach it's clear the staff revel in working in such a fine establishment. I'm pleased to say it's one of the only Italian restaurants that actually has a true Italian as it's Head Chef which is evident in the food. From talking to the chef, i discovered the food is sourced solely from Italy and is delivered daily. This is a refreshing change from precooked, reheated rubbish commonly found in high street restaurants of the area. The atmosphere is well balanced and the overall impression is that of a funky retro, modern Italian restaurant. You must try it!

Just eaten here to celebrate twenty years with my wife. Food and service was excellent. Lots of cafes with new Princesshay development but made the right choice.

The service's really good and the food's nice. Only one drawback, the manager seemed a bit noisy as she was bossing around, talking and scolding her poor waitresses. However, it was a fantastic evening. we enjoyed having dinner there.
