Smith's in Exeter

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

I'm never disappointed by the wine I come back with from Iain. He always manages to choose the best wine for the meal I'm having and the amount I want to spend.

Si estás buscando una noche diferente, ¡no busques más! Reserve una mesa en Smith's Wines y deje que el fantástico y verdaderamente encantador propietario, Iain, le prepare una comida y le recomiende el vino. He estado visitando Smith's desde hace algún tiempo, pero solo por el vino, que nunca decepciona. Sin embargo, finalmente logré reservar una mesa (de hecho, la mesa, ¡ya que solo hay una en este momento!) Recientemente para un grupo de seis. Tuvimos una velada increíble; resulta que Iain no solo es un gran selector de buen vino, ¡sino que es un chef igualmente talentoso! Una noche realmente divertida y diferente. Muy recomendable.

Llamé a Smith's Wines para pedir algunas botellas para la entrega (actualmente Covid - 19 lockdown). Iain conocía muy bien la amplia variedad de vinos disponibles y en unas pocas horas se entregó una fantástica selección de vinos de calidad. ¡No podría estar más feliz! Gracias Iain.

He venido a la tienda con regularidad y he comprado un vino fabuloso. Ahora, durante el terrible Coronavirus, están haciendo ENTREGAS de delicioso vino. ¿Qué más puedes decir aparte de expresar un profundo amor y alegría?

Whilst in Exeter we searched for a wine shop. With luck the search report came up with Smiths which was close to where we had lunch. We asked the guys in the shop for the type of wine we wanted. They gave us a number of choices at different prices. Great exactly what I wanted before we went in.

After moving to exeter and exploring our local area we came across Smith's. After a lovely chat with Iain and purchasing of wines we decided to head down on the Wednesday evening to enjoy a dinner and wine evening. We couldn't compliment Iain enough on his cooking skills, his wine selection or the environment he has created. We also had the pleasure of a local couple who were having their anniversary meal. Well done Iain you sure are the hostess with the mostess.

Had a great night here with old friends. Was served up some seriously good roast pork with an excellent wine selection at your fingertips. Highly recommend.

Llevé a mi novio aquí para la cena de la recomendación. Y así me alegro. Primero de todo los jardines eran preciosos y el castillo de bovey. El personal era acogedor. La comida era precioso y lo suficientemente en la placa. Me alegro de que personas vestidas de (aunque no tienen), pero pensamos que bien también, ya que era un lugar hermoso. Nos alojamos en cócteles y bebidas (aunque muy caro). Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir un portero de noche para llevarnos de vuelta en un muy bonito río tierra como ningún taxi disponible. Me encantaría volver

Iain Smith is an excellent fellow, a wonderful host, He knows his wines, he cooks a mean roast. Great food, great wine, what’s there to lose, His anecdotes are lively and sure to amuse. Bring all your friends, book up an evening, You’ll learn about wine and leave with a grin. I’ve been many times, I’ve never left sober, I think I’ll go again, over and over.

A fantastic evening of tasty food, fine wines, beautiful port and delcious cheeses, served in a unique environment, friendly, comfortable and homely. Iain is a flamboyant host, and creates a very special evening. The best works Christmas do ever ( a bit late in posting) looking forward to this years!

We Had a fantastic evening here, The food was absolutely exquisite and was paired with three different wines; all delicious too! Ian was an extremely attentive host, who really knew his stuff about wine and was happy to answer our hundreds of questions! Overall a wonderful and different evening out, with service that far surpassed that of any resturant.

Fantastic host with amazing food and wine to enjoy! Can't wait to go back and do it all over again! A great opportunity to learn how to compliment great food with wine, together with meeting new people. Such an inviting atmosphere and very friendly/welcoming. I would highly recommend to everyone!

I would recommend smiths wines to everybody and anybody who likes to indulge in great hospitality,food and drink! The shop is welcoming and comfortable Iain's knowledge and charm undoubtably create a relaxed atmosphere. I have experienced the after hours supper and wine tasting and either are a must...... friends,family or work colleges. Iain will rustle something up from the kitchen and accompany wines and light hearted conversation. 🍷🍽😃

Excellent evening with the best meal I've had in a long time without the washing up in a homely atmosphere. Small gatherings only but personal. Iain cooks all the food, has a knowledge of wines to keep you entertained all evening. Wonderful experience would definitely go again !! X

I spent the evening with family in what I can only describe as an amazing setting. Iain was a brilliant host with a wealth of knowledge on the products being served. The food was amazing and the serving sizes were plentiful.

The wonderful Iain's is always a brilliant place to go with friends. Great food and fantastic wine in a wine shop, could it get any better!! Iain is the best host with a fantastic knowledge of wine and a great generosity. Well worth a visit.

Ian is a character, never a dull moment. This is a great idea, you book in for dinner with friends, Ian cooks 'one dish' according to your groups dietary requirements, and gives you a choice of three specially selected wines. He's a great cook and a lively host. The food is easily better than most restaurants and far less hassle that throwing a dinner party at home. He buys from the local shops and local producers as much as he can, and it is a great place to hang out and relax with friends. Try it! Remember, if you want Sunday lunch book months in advance!
