Exeter Inn - Mid Devon

After having to reschedule our wedding several times due to the pandemic, we finally decided to tie the knot with only 3 to 4 weeks notice. For our wedding reception, we booked a small group of our closest family at the Exeter Inn. Though we had never been there before, we had heard great things and decided to take a chance. I informed the manager that it was our wedding, but with limited time for planning, I simply requested a few tables for food and asked if they could hang a couple of banners the day before. To our surprise, when we arrived, the whole restaurant had been reserved for our party, giving us the space all to ourselves. The owner warmly welcomed my husband and me, and for the first 10-15 minutes, he took us aside to allow us to savor the moment alone with a complimentary drink. They also took the initiative to decorate a special table for us and introduced us to the room as Mr. and Mrs. Our guests were all extremely impressed with the delicious food and impeccable service. Our evening turned out differently than we had originally planned, but we were both touched by the effort put in to make it so memorable. The staff went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate everything they did to make our wedding reception perfect. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning!

I visited this restaurant for lunch just before lockdown. We sat in a charming cozy room located at the back of the pub. The service was excellent and the menu had a variety of options. I ordered the fishcake starter, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the bacon brioche. We can't wait to come back soon.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, keep up the good work guys. I have been there before and will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

We've eaten here a few times since moving to the area 18 months ago which, most recently included a lockdown roast dinner takeaway, which was amazing! One of the best roasts I've had!Food and service has always been great, and we enjoy the overall ambience of the place when we visit.This will certainly be one of our regular places to visit after lockdown.

Stayed locally for a week in October and the Exterminates Inn was highly recommended by the owner of the cottage we stayed in, and for very good reason. Very friendly welcome, real fire, excellent food and good safe Covid compliant service. You could not wish for more, we visited twice during our weeks holiday, had to lovely meals and very much enjoyed our stay on both occasions. Highly recommended you could wish for no more.
