The Exeter Inn in Mid Devon

Just had afternoon tea, delicious

Had a huge piece of delicious homemade coffee cake and coffee sitting in front of a lovely real fire, all served by Sue. Lovely community pub with such a friendly atmosphere

Met friends here for brunch on a cold day. Woodburner warmed us up in no time, as did the friendly welcome and atmosphere. Run by volunteers who really care about giving everyone a good time, the service was excellent and the food cooked fresh to order and piping hot. Finest local ingredients including my favourite Chinn’s sausages. Good quality bread and generous portions. This place deserves to do well, it’s very special.

Now a community pub run by village volunteers. Called in for Sunday brunch. Fantastic food (full English) and service. The pub (which has a traditional and homely feel) is a credit to the village.

The Brunch menu is excellent and served 10am to 1pm every Sunday. The home made sourdough waffles with fresh fruit, streaky bacon and maple syrup are really tasty. The pub is now being run by the local village but they have found some top cooks ! Thorverton is a good base for a country walk up to Raddon Top for a view of the Exe Valley or up to Bowley and Cadbury on the old country road track up from Chapel Cross .

Visited we 3 friends on our way back from a break near Westwood ho! This is a beautiful country pub/restaurant. Lovely staff, great service and ambiance. Thank you so much for a lovely Sunday lunch 😊

My favourite place in Thorverton and has been for decades.

Lovely atmosphere, hosts very welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Dogs allowed. Ideal 😁

Went in to cancel our table due to illness. They suggested a carry out meal since we couldn’t manage to come in. What an excellent service from a local pub. And the fish and chips were delicious 😋

I would like to thank you for giving Tony such an amazing send off today. Your team were so sensitive in providing a lovely environment to say goodbye to a Thorverton legend . Such an awesome send off. Thank you all

Popped in for their monthly curry night and had a really good homemade beef curry with a couple of real ales. Very reasonable priced compared to other pubs, so will definitely be back for more. A really nice authentic pub with a warm atmosphere. Bar lady was very helpful and made us feel very welcome, especially as it was our first visit.

A lovely traditional pub. Welcoming, friendly and comfortable. Good food at a very reasonable price and served with care. Wine really cool and beer good..... We look forward to our next visit....

A hidden gem! Dog friendly. Great customer service and even greater food at a good price.

Just ate Sunday roast here with son & Hubby .Absolutely wonderful x Highly recommend

Proper little pub, interesting decor, welcoming/ warm environment, open fire & very reasonable prices. Sunday lunch was very nice and a good size, shame I don’t live a bit closer.

Proper country pub run by the the most friendly owners and staff real tasty home cooked food, warm atmosphere, ales are lovely, great to get an opportunity to give feedback to a very nice pub

Very pleasant hosts. Welcoming but food disappointing....... Service slow although many customers.......but some portions were small......main courses (not all) were the size of the starters........

Wonderful food, great staff and such a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch!

Found The Exeter Inn, in a small village, there is limited parking but free car park just a short walk up the road. Looks lovely from outside but could do with a make over inside, there are guns hanging from the ceiling, look dangerous. Food was nice and very, very good value, range of beers including Boombar, which tasted lovely. Lady was very polite and the food come up in a timely manner.

Fun place with nice food. Staff are super friendly

'Proper pub'! Great beer, good food, friendly locals and service and lots of history.

Had a great evening doing Xmas quiz which was really well organised. Lovely atmosphere and great pub food and beer. Dogs made wonderfully welcome too. Altogether a proper country pub.

Great village pub where beer and food has been good on each of my many visits. Try the steak night you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely pub with very reasonably priced menu

We were a party of 9 plus 2 dogs, they fitted us all in and made us all very welcomed. Even though they had a big birthday party going on. The food was excellent home made pasty & burgers. We asked for a table the following night. Smashing friendly people such a traditional old pub. We will recommend to anyone that stays your way. Thanks the (Keith's) lot

Lovely place, patrons and staff.. Will be back soon...

I ordered 84 pounds worth of food. They couldn't bother to deliver it to my place because they were busy. When I went to collect one hour later the food was not ready. I had to wait 20 mins to collect it. When I got home food was missing. My kids and I had to throw away all the fries for my 6 kids as we couldn't eat them. They were burnt, plain and hard. Impossible to eat. Next day went there to collect my money as there was food missing and I was charged for it. They couldnt be bother to return the money into my card . The man in the bar who gave me my money was very rude. When talking to him walked off and he couldn't bother to explain the bill to me. I was charged vat for the whole bill and vat is less if bill is less....when questioned the man in the bar try to say the vat is the same, which is not. I decided not to argue with him, they can keep the money.... I will advise not to eat here as food is horrible and staff was very rude (the man who cooked my fries). The fries they gave me even a dog cannot eat it. Disgusting.

Staying in Thorverton house/dog sitting fir the weekend. Had a fabulous meal fish and chip tea last night. Delicious, thank you. Strongly recommend!

This is a proper local pub with bags of character. The menu is good honest standard pub fare, but what I wasn't expecting was how outstanding the food was. I had ham, egg and chips. The eggs free range, proper real ham from the local Exe Valley farm shop and tasty chips... and all this for £8! (yes £8) unbelievable value for money and I'll definitely be trying the rest of the menu. Outstanding!

Cosy little pub with intriguing decor

Very accommodating to us as late arrivals for Sunday lunch. A warm welcome and a tasty roast dinner was promptly served as we marvelled at the collection of paraphernalia around the bar. A real find!

Was served by Oliver. Very good and laughed at all my jokes. Good lad. Nice drinks

Friendly welcoming great pint think I'm going to enjoy living 2 mins down the road from here. See you soon

Lovely Country Pub, Really Friendly Staff, Great Food And A Delicious Selection Of Ale.

Very pleasant. Warm ambience, good not expensive food, real fire......very nice. Will certainly return....

Excellent free house ,unlike the pub-co establishments unspoilt and great value

Great food, cracking owners, down to earth and hospitable. A dying breed

Great pub, with extremely good, attentive staff. Large portions of classic pub grub. Would recommend this place for food or just a drink. Made us all feel so welcome, definitely worth going to.

Great food friendly staff devon red cider on tap a real English pub just perfect in every way

Always welcoming, great proper British pub with good ale and food.

A good Sunday lunch and a good price.

Very friendly pub, delicious pint of Yellow Hammer.

Very nice local pub. Friendly and relaxing.

What a wonderful place! New managers really are trying to cater for all needs, nice mix of locals having a pint and others coming to eat. Inside full of interesting antiques and a 15 foot well covered and viewable. Very reasonable pub food with scampi, ham/eggs, chicken/fish goujons, burgers etc. We were 6 ranging from 8 to 83 and all managed to find a meal to enjoy. Local beers/ciders...really lovely larger from Sandford and beers from Silverton. All local produce. Open from 12 so lunches too. What a find, go support this place!

Lovely friendly pub and good food

Good food, sociable staff and good Covid precautions.

Stopped here this lunchtime and had to leave them a little review. An old work colleague lives in Thorveton and I have not seen him for many years. I remember him saying he drank in the best pub in Thorveton and as I was passing I went in. The landlord was sorting some stuff in the garden and I asked him if he recognised my colleague, which he affirmed. Happy to find my old mates watering hole I asked the landlord if I could put a couple of pints behind the bar of his superb Sams Cider. Sure, the landlord said and guided me in. Niceley Covid safe, took my details for track n trace, then poured me a pint. Putting "2 In" for my friend. The pub was quiet as still early lunchtime, so he sat and chatted, friendly guy, who I believe with his brother has taken over the pub. Decor was quirky, guns everywhere and antique horse brasses and "stuff". A real "warm and homely" feel. Also they now do food which the previous landlord never did. Had another Cider and said goodbye, but will definitely be coming back. It's little village pubs like this, that still manage to keep the spirit of the pub alive and kicking, well done to the landlord and team. Hope Nev enjoyed his 2 ciders....

Definitely worth the 1 hour walk with my dog from my home. But even if you are walking in the neighbourhood this is a must stop on your way down from the Raddon tree or if your early you can do both. The hospitality is top knotch for you and your wel behaved dog.

A real village pub wonderful atmosphere nice people, both friendly and natural

Lovely pub - recently taken over by new owners who are doing a great job at offering a substantial meal and socially distanced dining without loosing the cosy pub aesthetics. I felt very safe having boxing day lunch there whilst the rugby was on - lots of antibac and they offered table service, as well as takeaway if you don't fancy cooking but aren't ready to dine out just yet... Would definitley recommend a visit!

Great rural pub and home of my first 'legal' pint (decades ago I should confess). The walls are adorned in historic weaponry (Cromwellian to WW2) with machine guns, rifles, shotguns, muskets, pistols, swords and pikes. You will even find a man-trap above one of the fireplaces so be on your best behaviour! Always a good selection of proper Westcountry ales and ciders on tap. No restaurant but you can usually grab a pasty or perhaps you can catch one of their regular pint+curry nights.

Great evening, best pub I've been to in ages. Most amazing stuff inside, a little like a military museum but in a good way. Great service and the best Rioja I've tasted in ages.

Great little pub with friendly and accommodating staff. Make sure you ask for Barry to serve you, he’s a real laugh. Only downside is they don’t tolerate hobos with glue sniffing tendencies. As a result I’ve been banned for 16 years or so. I didn’t take the replica gun it was Bruce and he also clogged up the gents on numerous occasions.

Doesn't accept cards, only cash. Rude bar staff. Won't be returning.

Proper old pub, reasonably priced, great atmosphere and loads of history

This is one of favourite pubs when we visit friends in Devon. Charming little pub

Lovely country pub. You need to see it to believe it. Get your diary out and get your mates together. Go on an adventure try some place new. This is the destination

Great local pub and service with a smile.

This is a local pub for local people. Trust me when eyes shoot your way as you walk in

I stopped here for some much needed refreshment on a 2 day cycle tour to Blandford and really enjoyed my time here.(shame I had to move on) Lots of Ale and cider on offer and a pleasant bar lady makes a change from some places I have visited. I you like antique guns and other such stuff there is a huge variety on show in the bar and beyond. A real find of a pub with a great local support too.

Excellent choice of real ales and kept really well. Friendly staff and locals with great atmosphere.

Such an amazing pub with such history around the place. Lovely friendly staff.

My local for 16 years. One of my favourite places to be!

The best pub, well worth a visit, everyone should go there at least once! All sorts of interesting oddities adorn the ceilings and walls and behind the bar. Lovely staff, good atmosphere, plus bonus of no children!!
