Best Seasonal Restaurants in Exeter

Loved the decor and the meal was tasty and served by friendly staff. However, it was extremely noisy and the wait between courses became longer as the evening went on meaning we left in a bit of a rush to get to our booked entertainment.

We had the afternoon tea for 2 which was beautifully presented and delicious. The service was lovely and we had a lovely afternoon.

3 of us visited mid week for lunch, having read such good reviews, and we weren't disappointed. A great low key vibe without any pretension, small and with excellent staff. The four course tasting menu was absolutely delicious, very different flavours and styles. A highlight was perfectly cooked cod loin with a cauliflower puree and dill oil. The only thing we didn't like do much were the drink flights (we had both alcohol and virgin). Some of the flavours were too challengng for us. When we go back (which we will) we'll probably just get a bottle of wine to enjoy.

Both the initial greeting and the service during the whole meal were of an impeccably high standard. Together with the delicious food, it made for a hugely enjoyable meal.

An hour's 3 mile walk from opposite EUBC along the canal path got us to The Turf. We had booked a food slot for an outside table as all the inside was full already. Waited a mere 15 minutes for the Burger and Chips which was delicious. Perfectly cooked, locally-sourced beef with seasoned chunky chips and side salad, helped down with a pint of cider on a sunny day. Great service , friendly staff, lovely well-maintained picturesque setting and tasty food. What more do you need?. Highly recommend. cheers
