The Heart Of Oak Pub - Exeter

The bar staff and Chef Scott were very attentive to ensure my meal was gluten-free. I had the hunters chicken with a chocolate brownie and ice cream, but they were willing to customize other menu options for me. They have separate fryers to avoid cross-contamination, and gluten-free rolls for burgers. I love having this restaurant as my local spot!

We gathered with some of our family for dinner at this restaurant and had a wonderful evening. Although the usual practice is to order food and drinks at the bar, a friendly waiter served us at our table. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and talkative. Our food arrived promptly and was hot and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, making it a great value. Overall, it was a fantastic evening and we will definitely be coming back.

The friendly staff at this bustling pub greeted us warmly, with darts and pool games already in full swing. The beer was top-notch and the food was not only affordable but also beautifully presented. We'll definitely be returning soon.

I stopped for a quick £5 lunch.....always such good value, I had tasty plentiful ham, well cooked egg and super chips and the chips in particular were excellent, and all served with a smile. The pub is set up well safe play area for children, tv's for the sports fanatics, outside tables and parasols for good weather and Colin the landlord is always good humoured even in this hard times. Glad he was open on a Monday as many are not and so are missing a trick!

We arrived yesterday with friends. When we first got there the man who served us was lovely. Later on in the evening, the land lady came round to take our order and serve us some drinks. However we did forget to order one drink so one of my friends apologised ask to order this certain drink. The lady was very rude about and spoke to us in a disgusting manner. She then later came back with our drinks, I was sat on the table whilst my friends went outside for a cigarette. She then said to me in such a abrupt rude manner who’s paying for these drinks. I said I’m not, I will get one of them to come inside and pay as I am 5 months pregnant and clearly only drinking water. The land lady was so rude about it and stormed off with the drinks. She then came back 20 minutes after one of my friends went to the bar and explained what happened and wanted to pay. She shoved the drinks on the table and was swearing and talking to us like absolute dirt. After that incident a friend we knew who was already at the pub and was a couple tables behind us came over and spoke to us. The land lady came over and rudely said we aren’t allowed anymore drinks due to us breaking the rules. However the friend that came and sat on our table apologised and left. If the land lady was polite to us and spoke to us this whole incident wouldn’t of happened. I felt like she targeted our table throughout the night and after speaking to a couple people at the pub they have informed me that the landlady is so rude and has multiply complaints about her. We will never be coming back again. Absolutely disgusting.
