Great service by a generally young, enthusiastic team.Well priced wine for the quality at a very sensible mark-up.We can&rsquo;t fault the food and it was very consistent across a variety of dishes.We would definitely recommend as a great local business to support.

A bit pricey, but you can taste the quality. That gorgonzola tagliatelle was the star for me - the pasta was spot on and the sauce so creamy.

Lovely chilled vibe for a Sunday. Carly was just so warm and attentive, really made us feel looked after. That kind of genuine service is a nice touch.

The Sunday roast is a winner. The beef was really tender, and the Yorkshire pudding was spot on. Veggies were nicely done too.

Great to see so many gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. Makes choosing a meal so much easier.

Service was pretty efficient even though it was busy. Ordered on the app and my food and drink arrived quicker than expected. The app itself was a bit clunky to navigate, but overall a decent experience.

Stopped by for a bite. The team here is genuinely nice, made us feel looked after without being fussy. It was a good vibe.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The fish finger sandwich was spot on, and the homemade chips were proper crispy. The garlic bread was a whole baguette for a fiver, which is decent.

The pub has a great historic feel, really adds to the experience. Sat by the old fireplace with a pint of their Abbot Ale, which was spot on. Just a nice, relaxed place for a drink.

Nice pub for a pint. The landlady is lovely, really makes you feel at home. Beautiful old building too.

Lovely cozy spot. I really appreciated the selection of local ciders. You could tell they were fresh and not overly processed. The one I tried had a crisp, clean taste. A nice place for a quiet drink.

The food is always reliable. I really like their outdoor seating by the river on a nice day. It&#39;s just a very comfortable spot to enjoy a meal, the chairs are quite good for a long sit. Service is friendly and makes everything easy.

Staff were very friendly, especially with our dog. The chef even came out to greet him personally. Service was prompt and efficient. Good spot for a quick, relaxed lunch.

A proper local pub, no frills. The beer is kept well, which is the main thing. Had a decent pint of bitter. It&rsquo;s a friendly spot for a quiet drink.

This is the jewel in the Wetherspoon&rsquo;s crown. If you don&rsquo;t know about Wetherspoon&rsquo;s pubs, restaurants and hotels, they are budget friendly,  no frills establishments many in repurposed banks, shops, high street offices etc. This offering in Exeter is a little different though. The setting, in quite extensive well maintained gardens, is a large old house that used to belong in turn to various professional people. The building has been remodelled and added to over the years. The spectacular cast iron orangery where you can dine from breakfast to dinner time was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Great Western Railways chief engineer in Victorian times. It was originally part of the main building of Exeter university but was moved here many years ago. Food was up to the usual standard at Wetherspoons and served on the distinctive crockery which was specially designed for the company. My youngest daughter and I ate here several times over a three day trip to view the university. We ate both breakfast and dinner here. I thoroughly recommend having at least a drink or preferably something to eat here if you are in Exeter.☕️ A tip is that your tea, coffee or hot chocolate is bottomless and at the time of writing was only 1.81 GBP per cup.

Steak was decent for the price, and the unlimited chips were a nice bonus. 👍

The owners and staff were so lovely and welcoming. The food was simple and tasty, just like the menu said.

Been coming here for years, and the old meeting house vibe never gets old. Perfect spot in the city centre when you&#39;re with a group.

The ingredients were so fresh, you could really taste it in every dish. Loved the thoughtful flavour combinations, especially in the seasonal salad. A very relaxed spot for a healthy meal. The wine list had some nice organic options too.

Standard Spoons, but the rooftop garden is a real bonus. Sat up there for a couple of hours with a burger and a pint. It&#39;s a bit of a sun trap, really pleasant spot to unwind.

The Hour Glass is a charming, historic pub with a cozy atmosphere and friendly bar staff. It&#39;s a great spot for a pint and chat, especially on a Saturday lunchtime.

The ale selection is a real treat. Everything arrived piping hot, even through the app. Just a bit pricey for the portions, but the drinks are fairly priced.

Went on a karaoke night with my friends, such a fun vibe! The staff were really friendly and it was the perfect spot for a casual catch-up. The music was a bit loud for chatting at our table, but we just moved closer to the bar. Would definitely go back for another karaoke session.

Really liked the Thai veggie burger here, loads of flavour and the chips were spot on. My friend&#39;s lasagne looked good too, nice cheesy top. Service was quick, which was a plus on a busy Friday. Ales were well-kept. Solid pub grub.

Been coming here for years. Staff are always friendly, they handled our big family group without any fuss. Service is solid, you can rely on it.

The cocktails were the real star for me. I tried their signature &#39;Smoky Negroni&#39; and the balance was spot on - not too bitter, with a really nice herbal finish. Great vibe for a Friday night with mates. 🍸

Popped in for a midweek lunch. The burger was spot on, really juicy. My wife&#39;s vegan curry pasty had lovely, flaky pastry. Portions were generous for the price.

Nice little pub, feels like a proper student spot. The beer garden out the back is a real bonus, especially on a sunny evening. They seem to have a lot of themed nights, which keeps things lively.

Really liked the relaxed feel here, and the staff were very friendly. The separate function room looks like it would be great for events.

Popped in for a late lunch. Had the steak pie, proper comfort food. The gravy was spot on. Caught the end of the football match on their screen, which was a nice surprise. Good portion for the price.
