Food and atmosphere worthy of the sunny location

Delicious food, good service, wonderful atmosphere and an excellent evening. Lamb was impeccable.

Lovely pub

Lovely pub and restaurant set right on the banks of the River Exe just outside the city centre. Food always very good.

Great

Breakfast was great. We used it as a jumping off point for a day on the moors, and it was really great for that.

Callum

Next to the river

This pub has an excellent outside seating facility, right next to the river Exe. On a warm evening there’s probably no better place for a drink and pub meal.
