Exe Valley Pizza Co. in Mid Devon

We really high hopes for a good local restaurant but unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Service was awful - one waitress serving on a bank holiday weekend (despite the fact we had seen other staff wondering around). When we arrived there were only 2 other tables yet it took forever to even get our drinks or have our food order taken. When the food arrived (nearly an hour later) the order was all wrong (the waitress never bothered to check our order back and just seemed to write down whatever she wanted). First issue was she gave our burgers the wrong way round but told us they were correct and it was hard for us to tell the difference (especially as things were missing that we were expecting to be in as per the menu). The kitchen staff should have made it clear to the servers which was which especially for any allergies or intolerances! So half way through tucking into our burgers we realised we had the wrong ones. My burger was completely dry (and over cooked) and no sauce was added that I asked for. We had asked for Parmesan and truffle oil flavoured chips and they came with just Parmesan. We told the waitress what we had actually ordered (as soon as the food arrived) and there was no apology or offer to rectify it, so we simply asked for some truffle oil to drizzle over. The waitress was so rude and said she wasn’t sure because the kitchen was so busy (we just asked for a pot of oil not even new chips like we deserved) in quite a harsh tone so I proceeded to tell her it is what we ordered and the waitress never read the order back to check and we’ve had pretty awful service tonight. Her response was to bite back and say it wasn’t her fault and she made a bit of a scene to which we felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. It was awful, I have never been treated like that. What happened to the customer is always right?! Regardless of which individual staff member’s fault it was, it wasn’t ours and they didn’t seem to see that! And by this point it has ruined our night. No apology, no offer to sort out the problems which had occurred through staff incompetence, no attempt to make our night any better. From then on no one spoke to us or checked how anything was. I understand the waitresses shouldn’t have to deal with complaints but why wouldn’t the manager address us? I am just shocked that we got treated like this in a independent restaurant that thrives off customer satisfaction. And to top it off they charged us for the things they never even provided - absolutely awful! Not to mention we booked a table and were shoved in a corner behind a wall and the place was dirty and extremely tired looking for a new restaurant! Won’t be returning again and the food was not even worth ordering a takeaway! I felt so unwell after from how greasy it was. Waste of money! But even worse service and experience!!!

Nos metimos en esta tienda de la granja mientras estábamos cerca. Tiene una preciosa selección de quesos. El staff es muy amigable. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

We heard The White Hart was under new ownership so we came along for midweek lunch - it was great! We were warmly greeted by a kind lady behind the bar which had lots of ale, lager & cider choices. We ordered the daily special with a drink which for £12 was great value. The Cod & Chips and Scampi were exactly what you’d expect from a country town pub grub - well worth the money. The desert of STP was also lush. We’d definitely recommend this pub for a great quality and great value midweek lunch. We’ll come back for Sunday Lunch soon.

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this friendly pub on an afternoon walk, very reasonably priced drinks and friendly service.

I am thrilled that you are getting back up and running. I've had so many relaxed and friendly hours in the cafe with friends that I am looking forward to more accompanied by a fab nut roast and side salads fit for a queen. Airy and plenty of space (unlike other cafes that cram as many in as they can) so it feels very Covid safe even without have to make big changes.
