We went as a group of 4 on a saturday night. We were really happy to find some great ales and also impressed with the menu. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and although we seemed to be visiting on a fairly quiet night was excellent and obviously made with great ingredients. We will be back... More

Friends found this beautiful pub just outside Exeter about 18 months ago, now added some bed and breakfast rooms to make a fantastically relaxing weekend break. Stayed two nights with evening meal, whilst the menu is limited, that is a real advantage as the quality through concentrating on great English cooking shines through. Beer is well kept and everyone is... More

Wonderful place, the sort of place others find. This time however, we were in luck! Warm, friendly, comfortable all this and great food. If you are EVER anywhere near, then do pop in.
