Reviews in Exeter

amazing scotch egg, and amazing roast, highly recommend

We had Sunday lunch for the family. Really enjoyed it and felt well looked after. Mains were hearty and tasty (the roast potatoes were the only aspect that was slightly disappointing). Desserts were restaurant quality. Service was excellent. Good value. Just a really nice pub.

Had a lovely meal, great pub , lovely staff will definitely be returning

We had the most wonderful experience at The Hourglass Pub on the evening of our wedding, Wednesday 4th March. There were 16 of us celebrating together, and the entire evening was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us celebrate such a special day. The service was flawless all evening. Even with a group of 16, everything ran smoothly and we felt completely looked after. The food was phenomenal. Every dish that came out was beautifully prepared and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone at the table. It really added something special to our wedding evening. We had reserved a private room (which we paid a deposit for), and having that space to ourselves made the night feel even more personal and relaxed. The team were also wonderfully accommodating — when we ran a quiz for our guests, they kindly provided extra lights so everyone could see properly, which was such a thoughtful touch and really appreciated. Nothing felt like too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail helped make the evening feel truly memorable. Thank you to everyone at The Hourglass for helping make our wedding evening so special. We’ll always remember it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, fantastic service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

A very poor experience. They are using an online booking system but don’t know how to use it properly. We arrived for our booking and were rudely told we hadn’t booked enough in advance and they didn’t have a table for us and sent us away. What’s worse is that the then asked us to write them a review. If you screw thing up it’s best to be really apologetic and take responsibility rather than blaming the customer.

10/10 food drinks and service - high quality and very impressive food, not just ‘pub grub’. We had the sharer pie for two, it was huge you could probably share between three. The starters were amazing and the staff were lovely and really attentive. Definitely a great place to go with friends.

Excellent Sunday roast. Dog friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Great Sunday roast, the service was very attentive, made to feel very welcome

Lovely food - really super delicious! Service was a little slow and we were brought a dessert menu instead of the main menu when we arrive but it was a busy Sunday and we were not in a rush so did not mind.

Enjoyed the Thai dumplings and the duo duck.. Both were nicely cooked as nd presented. Friendly service.

Excellent

Really enjoyed the meal there. Food was excellent.

Great food and service. Perfectly cooked steak, all three of us were very happy. Thank you

We have eaten here 4 times in the last couple of weeks and each time the food and service has been excellent. Really good menu choices for both evening meals and Sunday lunch. The staff are always so welcoming and eager to assist. Fabulous selection of ales, lagers and also a brilliant wine list. It’s been really busy every time we’ve been with a great atmosphere in both the restaurant and bar. We would highly recommend it.

We had an excellent time at The Hour Glass. We were made to feel very welcome and were looked after so well. The food was fantastic and service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back again. Thank you to the team for a wonderful evening.
