Lovely spot for a quiet dinner. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients felt in my main course. The greens were crisp and the fish tasted clean, not at all heavy. It made for a light yet satisfying meal. The atmosphere was cozy, just right.

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

I&#39;d prebooked and requested a quiet. table with a high chair which we were allocated after a short wait. Just wondered why it hadn&#39;t been prepared in advance.Apart from that everything was super. Delicious hot food, friendly effiecient service so HIGHLY recommend

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

Flat iron steak was spot on. Cooked just right. Also tried the cod brioche sandwich. Solid choice.

A proper family-run spot, feels like someone&#39;s home. The staff are lovely and chatty. I saw a mix of locals grabbing a quick bite and tourists with maps out. Really nice vibe for a relaxed lunch.

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

Been grabbing a cappuccino and a sandwich here before my train for years. Coffee&#39;s always solid, strong without being bitter. The sandwich is decent, does the job. It&#39;s just reliable.

The restaurant&#39;s decor is stunning, and the service was attentive. I particularly enjoyed the lobster cheese souffl&eacute;, which was a highlight of the meal.

Been coming here for lunch for years now. It&#39;s the staff that keep me coming back - Sarah and Tom always remember my usual order and have a quick chat. Makes it feel like a proper local spot.

Really friendly team here. Saw them help a customer who was struggling, just went out of their way. Nice to see that kind of care.

The eggs Benedict were creamy, eggs poached just right. Hash browns were huge and soaked up all the hollandaise nicely. Food came out quick after we got our drinks. Solid breakfast spot.

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.

Came for a group dinner. Ryan and the team were really helpful, made sure we were comfortable. The live music was a nice touch, not too loud. Food was good, no complaints there. A relaxed evening.

Decent spot on the industrial estate. The classic cafe vibe is clean, no fuss. Had the full English breakfast. Portion was generous for the price, honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good, solid food.

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

Stopped in for a late lunch. The view of the cathedral from the window seats is a real plus. Food was decent, service was prompt. A solid option if you&#39;re in the area and want a straightforward meal with a nice backdrop.

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.

Super dog-friendly spot! Our pup was over the moon with their special doggy ice cream. 🐶

Owner&#39;s a lovely bloke, really makes you feel welcome. The milkshakes are the star - you can tell they use proper coffee, not that syrup stuff. Just a shame they don&#39;t do a decaf version for later in the day.

Iain was a great server, really on the ball. My burger and chips arrived super fast. Tasted good, no complaints. Perfect for a quick lunch break.

The vegan eggs benedict with the silken tofu was a real surprise. I was curious about the texture, and it actually worked quite well. A solid, creative dish.

The coffee here is pretty good, the barista clearly knows what they&#39;re doing. It&#39;s a comfortable place to sit and chat. The staff were friendly enough, though my latte did take a little while to arrive.

The pastries are huge and so soft, like they just came out of the oven. I love that they&#39;re always trying new flavour ideas, keeps it interesting. My only tiny gripe is they can sell out of the popular ones quite early.

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.

Always spotless when I pop in. The whole place just feels clean and looked after, which makes a big difference when you&#39;re just sitting with a coffee.
