The Globe in Exeter

Two nights spent in Topsham having dined in the Globe restaurant. The food was delicious, all home cooked and presented very well. Great portion sizes! All staff very very friendly and attentive. Great little bistro pub for the foodies!

Only stopped for coffee, but it's a lovely place, and I would like to stay here. There's more to see than I could fit into 2 hours

Lovely old pub with oak beams, etc. Nice looking rooms,and even when busy, you can normally find a seat,parking is a bit of a problem though.

A very pleasant evening. Very friendly, courteous and helpful service from Ryan and Izzy, along with generous portions. We will return.

Lovely welcoming staff loved the decor. Great varied menu we all agreed the food was delicious and very well presented.

Really nice old town quirky places, room was really big

Fantastic everything was superb. Staff were wonderful, food was excellent and our rooms were clean and extremely comfortable

August 6-7 Enjoyable break, Comfortable room, breakfasts good, Nice pub, good choice of beers. Perfect location for travelling to Exeter. Parking to unload can be a problem in the day time. Holman Way Car Park is a good choice as you can walk via the rear of the pub and it’s a short distance. We would stay again.

Had an extremely disappointing meal at the globe. Usually the foods good but on this occasion my first choice was unavailable so I opted for the crab and chilli linguine. What I got was a bowl of tepid pasta with chopped tomato and oil. There was no taste evidence of crab and definitely no chilli. At £23.50 it was poor value especially with half the ingredients missing and not hot. To be fair I both emailed and sent a direct message to the globe about this giving them the chance to discuss but both have been ignored so have a Tripadvisor review instead

We booked for lunch on Charter Day, which meant the town was busy and service a bit slow at times. My disappointment stemmed from the food and pricing. I ordered the monkfish scampi which was 5 pieces of breaded fish, probably little more than a fish finger in all, with a dish of guochujang sauce, which tasted like soy sauce possibly with some guochujang paste added. A lack of garnish made it look very dull, and meant there was nothing to soften the quite brutal sauce. I followed with a crab sandwich which I was sure would be good at £24. Wrong! One lettuce leaf, margarine, white bread and a modest amount of unseasoned crab meant a seriously underwhelming sandwich. The advertised skin-on fries were just fries and again, no garnish. It looked and tasted dull in the extreme, and was monumentally overpriced. My partner faired better but portions were small for the prices charged. On the plus side the pub is lovely and staff were friendly despite being very busy. However when you’re out for lunch, the food should take centre stage.

Beautiful room at reasonable price! Dinner was amazing! Emily was a brilliant waitress! 100 per cent recommend for a little get away

Food was rubbish, Josh was great ;)

Stayed two nights for Topsham's Charter Day. Great trips on the train to Exeter and Exmouth Beach. The Globe was great. Very centrally located, great room and great staff. They managed to squeeze us in for dinner when they were absolutely full on Sunday night. Great value breakfast too. Will return!

Food wasn’t good, but Josh was great (we love you Josh) :)

Excellent hotel conveniently place in main street in Topsham. Very friendly welcoming staff, good reasonably priced food and comfortable accommodation. Atmospheric bars and pleasant restaurant and outside seating on raised decking in the courtyard outside.Note parking is not available but there is a long stay carpark which is only 100 metres away from the hotel reached by walking down the road immediately opposite the carpark (Globefield)

Dinner at the Globe was outstanding. Food delicious and lovely taste combinations. Best of all was the service from the lovely Josh. Well worth a visit.

3 night stay in late July, will definitely be returning. Beautiful building and perfect location. Great breakfasts and the evening meal we had here was excellent. Great menu choices, lovely bar and welcoming and helpful team. Room (7) was spacious and comfortable, there is noise from the courtyard but this is advised on the website and the staff are very good at ensuring that this doesn't extend beyond 11pm. Overall, a comfortable and lovely stay. Strongly recommend.

Excellent stay, well looked after by Nikki and the other staff. Thanks again!

Lovely traditional pub, great customer care.

Great meal tonight and looked after superbly by attentive staff. Always feel welcome here along with my wife and spaniel!!

Good pub experience. Decent food & attentive staff. Nice historic building with lots of space if you’re a bigger group.

We stayed five nights in comfy rooms. All the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. James, Josh, Harry, Tilda and Jo, and others. The covered garden was noisy but fun, and never disturbed our sleep. The quiz on Saturday night was an added bonus. Breakfasts were delicious and generous. Dinner was nice but not memorable, but no worries. We didn't expect gourmet. The town is a delight, and right on our doorstep.

We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend away at the Globe and sadly have had to leave, but we were welcomed by a cheerful and enthusiastic team. All the food we had there was delicious and our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. If you want to get away from it all for a while then this is the place along with all Topsham and the surrounding area has to offer

Overall our stay was OK but we would only return if the rooms were refurbished. Our room was a dog friendly room that cost us an extra £15 per night but it was tired and in need of maintenance. The sink was cracked, the shower screen was broken and the carpet was disgustingly dirty and stained. The positives were that our room was cleaned well daily and lovely fluffy towels were replaced along with bottled water, tea, coffee and biscuits. There were nice touches we appreciated which included a great welcome pack of dog biscuits, dog bowls and mat, dog treats and even dog beer as well as a beer for adults. The toiletries were all Elemis and included a pillow spray which was lovely. We only had one meal and it was good. We would have liked to sample breakfast but we had to leave early because The Globe doesn’t have parking and there’s tight restrictions on the street parking.

Used to be our favourite Topsham venue but it has gone downhill. Food was OK but nothing special like it used to be, staff friendly but not very efficient (table was never cleared of dirty plates). Horrible dirty, rusty towel under leaky radiator in the Ladies loo added to the feeing that little care is being given to this fine old establishment. It’s a shame.

Excellent food and service. The roast beef was really nicely done, and the portion sizes really generous. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It is in a great location, albeit there's no street parking directly outside, which is nice once you're outside to be fair.

Fantastic find for a nice price too. Both of us loved the overhead shower and slept very well. The room was a little hot, I would recommend a fan but to be fair, I never asked for one. The quality of the coffee/tea and shower gel/hand wash was superb. I would say though that the bedside tables were a little dusty and the TV couldn't connect to the the free WiFi so we couldn't utilise netflix/Amazon etc. I would also comment on the availability to source hot food elsewhere and take it back to our room but we had to eat from the pub, in the pub. Which seemed odd to me

Lovely food. I had the goats cheese salad, very tasty as was the redefined burger. Finished with a perfect sticky toffee pudding. Lovely staff too.

My husband, the dog and I have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Globe. I have stayed on numerous occasions and it just gets better and better. The welcome is fantastic, the rooms are so well equipped with everything you could possibly want, the evening meals and breakfast are superb. Anywhere that offers marmite at breakfast gets my vote! We will be back…..

2 people behind the bar chatting. "I'm higher educated" said one to other but not apparently to a level where she could spot a waiting customer in an almost empty bar!

Second stay at the Globe. Absolutely fabulous rooms, and nice food too. A joy. We'll be back.

I had such a fantastic experience at The Globe Pub for my sister's birthday! Our waiter, Sam, was incredibly lovely and helpful. He even went the extra mile to put a candle in my sister's pudding, which made the celebration even more special. The food was amazing, especially the mussels - I couldn't recommend them more! I will definitely be coming back when we are all back in Topsham together. Such a great place for special occasions!

We had a wonderful time at The Globe Pub when my husband, another couple, and I visited. We requested a table by the window and were seated at a lovely table. For starters, we enjoyed the prawn cocktail, followed by fish and chips for mains, and it was all perfect - the fish was outstanding! Our waiters, Maddie and Sam, were so accommodating and even recommended the perfect wines to complement our meals. We'll definitely be returning very soon!

Me and my husband came in for a anniversary and we were not disappointed at all, we moved the decor, the vibe and whole experience as a whole, we will definitely be back again, We had a server called Ryan and he made sure we had everything we needed for a great night, hope he gets a pay rise!

Had an amazing breakfast! Now open to walkins serving breakfast which is an amazing. we stopped off on the off chance and managed to get a spot. I had a full English and my friend had the bacon pancakes which were fantastic. They also do an amazing deal, were you can get continental breakfast offer as well for £15 definitely worth popping in and try out their breakfast deals

Recommended by a friend, I thought I'd take a visit. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and cosy. Bar staff were full of smiles. I didn't prebook a table but a waiter called Ryan was so friendly and found us a table quickly. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was so helpful and attentive. Approachable and chatty, with such a friendly smile. A great asset to a great pub/restaurant. The food was delicious especially the mussels in garlic and white wine sauce. We'll be definitely dining there again and have highly Recommended to others.

Very cosy pub with lots of character. Had great lunch. Food good. Quick service. Nice to find a dog friendly pub, will def call back when down in the summer.

Came in for dinner and drinks this evening, lovely atmosphere staff and service, special mention to Ryan and James, if you're in the area pay the Globe a visit it's definitely recommended

Came in with friends for a birthday meal and drinks. Food was good, very enjoyable, nice atmosphere. Louix was fantastic as our host, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a brilliant evening. Sambuca all the way !!

Me and my friends stayed last weekend and the room was lovely, the bar/restaurant staff were lovely but Ryan took care of us and he did an excellent job! The food was 10/10 Definitely coming back again

My wife and I stayed at the globe recently and we absolutely loved it, very scenic and picturesque, we came for a weekend and loved every minute of it, the breakfast in the morning was lovely staff were always on top of it, One staff member Ryan really went all out for us, always checking on our table making sure we are well kept, Gold star for him! 100% coming back again

Food was excellent, really friendly staff, Ryan really helped us decided what to choose for food, Food came out in very good time, loved every minute of it

Went in a Saturday early evening. Atmosphere was a bit stuffy for my liking, to be honest. Seemed to be the time for the "older generation," which was surprising as it was a Saturday! The food was OK. Limited vegetarian options. Husbands chicken was dry, potatoes were dry, and the carrots were too hard. I had mussels with some tasty bread. Butter was served in foil packages, would have liked it in a bowl and not prepacked. Food was quite average really. Good wines on offer tho!

Just stopped for a cup of coffee

Stayed for four nights. Had two evening meals and one breakfast whilst staying here. Food was generally good. I recommend the trio of fish; Sole, Monkfish and Hake. Breakfast was reasonable value compared to other breakfast venues in the village. Had a nice first floor courtyard room which was well maintained, everything worked as it should. Plenty of hot water, nice quality shower gel, hand soap and body cream. Shaver charging point. Particularly liked the adjustable Temperature towel rail. We got fresh bath towels on day two. Zip and Link bed was comfortable, we slept really well. TV had good selection of channels. Tea and coffee tray was excellent with top quality Tea Pigs tea bags, hot chocolate sachets and nice coffee sachets. A quality two pack of ginger cookies and a pack of chocolate cookies were supplied on three of the four days. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, bar staff were knowledgeable about the local ales. Housekeeping were friendly and looked after our room daily. Kitchen and waiting staff were smart and polite and attentive. The courtyard seating area is nice with large olive trees all around giving it a Mediterranean feel, lots of hanging baskets. Some of the leather furniture in the bar areas was a little tired and in need of repair or replacement, I only mention this in the hope that it helps the inn to get some new stuff when the brewery have a spending spree. I had a bizarre experience as I was departing the hotel to go home. I recognised one of the draymen delivering kegs to be a chap I had served with in the RAF nineteen years ago, we made each others day, it was nice to see you again Andy!

Stopped of for lunch as the menu looked good! We weren’t disappointed, hubby chose Fish & Chips & I opted for the Roast Lamb, the food was fresh, tasty and plentiful The staff were welcoming & the service was excellent, We would definitely eat there again.

We love the pub, it’s a beautiful country pub in lovely Topsham . The room we stayed in, room 4, was beautiful and super clean. The staff, food and atmosphere were brilliant

What a lovey hotel, we only stayed one night but comfortable rooms, tea and coffee facilities, modern facilities. The Receptionist was very professional on arrival , great food , great location .

Disappointing food! I NEVER send my food back anywhere, but the so-called crab linguini was so greasy and tasted of oil, not the creamy, lime, lobster-infused taste the menu promised. I was offered an alternative (squid) which was nice enough (though still charged £18 for the main). My friend had to cut open her fish and chips to relieve the fish from the thick batter which was over cooked and greasy. Such a shame, we were really looking forward to our meal as the menu, pictures and reviews were so promising. We felt so sorry for the young man who served us, he was lovely and apologetic and clearly apologetic. Not his fault at all, he did the best he could!

Great place to stay. We only stayed one night but extremely comfortable and clean rooms. The staff were so friendly and the breakfast excellent. Located in Topsham a good place to explore from.

For a local pub, there doing good. Nice food, pleasant dining and staff

Went for a night out with a group of work colleagues. Friendly staff, good food. Enjoyed it

Nice food, friendly atmosphere. The only reason it is not a 5 is due to the carpet smelling upstairs.

Met friends for food and drinks.

Lovely place to stay, room was large & clean. Food was a bit hit & miss but service was excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. We were surprised how busy the place was on a Tuesday night but the waiter kindly found us a quiet table. The service was good and food plentiful and tasty. Good to see vegan options.

Lovely pub with open fires food good outside garden part undercover Town centre but no good for parking very close parking nearby 5 pound all day rooms airy nice beds well equipped bathroom some rooms outside two levels would come again as topshom is very pretty and right on the estuary. Large three storey antique store close by with prices small to more expensive something for every one

Mother’s Day lunch - lovely food , excellent service

We had lunch here on 26.2.24 Nice atmosphere, lots of cosy rooms with a log fire in one We had requested a quiet corner and it was just right Service attentive and, importantly, we didn't feel rushed Menu a little limited, especially as the fish main was off, but we both had two starters instead and it was plenty! Very nicely cooked to order. Just right for a sisters' lunch!

We had a very cosy afternoon here to celebrate our friends’ baby shower - thanks for being so helpful & hospitable with plenty of cakes and pastries, pots of tea & coffee and the perfect window seat

Great location, comfy rooms, lovely staff. Excellent value for a night away.

1st time of visiting on recommendation of friends who we were dining with, and we weren't disappointed. Friendly staff combined with excellent food made for a pleasant evening, great price too! Will definitely be returning and will recommend to others.

We booked 7 rooms for a business trip for 2 nights. We had a fantastic time and all the staff were amazing. The rooms are beautiful and the location is perfect. Thank you so much

Excellent service and food. Nice ambiance.

Incredible food and atmosphere. We had the best fish and chips (with tatar sauce) and the trio of fish. A really good evening out.

Good food, polite staff, but not all the quickest,

Even though we are regulars at the pub and restaurant, we stayed overnight on our last night in the UK before moving abroad. Family joined us for a meal and then a couple of friends joined us for a last goodbye drink. The rooms are larger than expected, well appointed and so comfortable (you sink into the luxury bedding including duvet and pillow). Would highly recommend The Globe and look forward to staying again when we return home for a visit. WILL MISS YOU ALL x

Sat in the garden courtyard at the back and enjoyed some nice sandwiches in a quiet haven away from the busy August hordes.This is part of St Austell brewery pub chain and has a similar menu to the ones Ive been to in Cornwall.Good function room at the back and ooks like they have quite a bit of accommodation.Have since been back in winter and see they do a good offer on out of season lunches.I like the area by the bar but the rest if the pub felt a but soul less .Good to pop into for an occassional drink .

Stayed at the globe inn at Topsham last night .Lovely room ( small but adequate ) located in the most beautiful Devon village by the Estuary from Exeter . Absolutely a must go if you are close at any time .Great hotel ........ Lovely local ales ...... Fantastic food ..... Lovely staff .

Popped in here unexpectedly, its a cosy pub with an intimate atmosphere and a lovely seating area at the back with olive trees. We only stopped off for sandwiches but they were high quality freshly prepared and gorgeous home made chips. The full menu looked lovely and we will definitely be back to try...

Guaranteed a great meal in this 16th century coaching inn by the water and easy parking within walking distance. We loved the food, fresh produce , beautifully cooked and presented . The restaurant is full of atmosphere with very friendly staff. Not too noisy allowing you to talk comfortably to each other across the table . Only thing, you need to place your food and drink order at the bar. Shame we were not there on the Sunday when they have one of the best carveries around .

We went to The Globe on the Sunday of Bank Holiday weekend. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and attentive and the food (whitebait and breaded Brie to start and chef's homemade pie and the vegetarian platter) was really tasty and beautifully presented.

I used to come here a lot as a child, and it is now completely different. It was great back then, and it is great now, but for different reasons.The food is great, as is the service and the atmosphere. You feel totally alone in your own little world while you are here, which is perfect, even though the place is usually busy. It is a tad expensive, but you pay for what you get. It's just about worth it, you don't feel like you have got a good deal, but you don't feel ripped off either. If you told me you were planning on going here, I would definitely not dissuade you from going.

Very clean and very pleasant.Really good place for a family meal, nice staff and good food. The food was very fresh and well presented.Excellent value for money.

Best thing was the friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff, food was okay but could be better, will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.Serves food until 9:30pm which is useful for a business traveller stuck in the office later than I'd like to be :)

Very good place to eat, the staff very attentive, good size portions ! Would recommend a visit ! Nice outside area ! Good selection of drinks !

My wife and i decided to pop in past for an early dinner / late lunch. We sat in the "bar" area in very comfortable surroundings. Our drinks were brought to the table quickly and we ordered our food. We both had the home made burgers with cheesy fries. The burgers were delicious and had a very good char grilled flavour. The star of the show however were the chips, They were piping hot and fluffy in the middle but wonderfully crispy on the outside. I really would go back just for a bowl of chips! The staff were all lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Well almost certainly be back!

The roast beef was the best I have ever tasted! The staff were friendly and helpful, fulfilling a request for a gluten free meal. Beautiful surroundings ina 15th century coach house. Well worth a visit.

Came here unsteady and was very nice. Staff all helpful and made the extra effort. Can't fault it at all.

We booked at the last minute for Sunday lunchWe had Lovely roast dinners. the pub also has with a good choice of traditional beers and cider. Service was quick and very good.

Gewoon een matige kok met ouderwetse kaart die slecht wordt uitgevoerd. Verbrande Yorkshire pudding, well done beef, smerig recept voor de schol, ach: wegblijven.

The rooms, the food, the atmosphere, the lovely courtyard with its olive trees - what more could you ask for - oh yes, helpful and pleasant staff; and The Globe has all of these in spades.

Does exactly what you would expect - range of English classics - burgers fish & chips etc, well cooked, welll presented at a reasonable price with the benefit of a full bar.

Visited with my cousin, a local, and ate here with them and some pals after a performance at Topsham Museum. Not your classic pub grub here, but fresh and healthy plates with good selection of seafood (juicy mussels), salads (with quinoa - how trendy) as well as burgers and chips.

Atmosphere was very good service was excellent polite and unobtrusive. It was a busy sunny Saturday but we were served quickly and efficiently

My friend and I popped in here yesterday for a late lunch. They serve food all day. We sat outside as it was a lovely day. We ordered at the bar. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. We ordered sausages and mash with peas in a rich gravy. The food was excellent and presented really well. The sausages and mash were absolutely delicious. We then had a dessert of pannecotta with icecream which was out of this world. Reluctantly we left as we had no more time. We will be back. Highly recommend.

We had several evening meals in this popular pub when staying in Topsham for a week. The food was beautifully presented on each occasion. the quality was superb-even bangers and mash were special !.The staff were friendly and efficient. The menu was quite extensive but the staff still managed to bring it in promptly. I think the kitchen team must be very well organised. The decor had clearly been tastefully given a "make over not very long ago". THE PRICES WE THOGHT VERY REASONABLE-AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EAT

I was very disappointed in this restaurant, this was recommended by the people that returned with me on this occasion. The servers was very friendly and we ordered our drinks and food one cod ordered without batter and one burger well done not pink made very clear. The starters arrived in very good time and was exceptional two asparagus with Parmesan cheese and Hollandaise sauce very good and well presented the other starter was pigeon. Very good start. The first two mains that came out was very good one cod gluten free and one duck all good. The burger arrived with blood inside and blood soaking through the bun, this was returned and seconds later the burger returned, the same one with the same blood soaked bun and the same burger, but pink this time. on the third return the burger arrived back and this time it was well cooked, but the food for the mains did not reflect from the starters and the puddings the puddings was mediocre. The more stranger point was the looks from the chef that kept spying through the window. I would not expect arrogance in refusing to cook something the way someone has specified, very odd.

I did enjoy this although not sure whether I chose wisely. I ordered a vegetarian medley and one of the things, which had a pesto crust, I really didn't like. I mentioned this and ordered some olive ciabatra to take the taste away. I wasn't charged for this. I would definitely go back and try something else. Waiting staff helpful

I ate at the Globe last Thursday, 23rd June, with a group of ex neighbours, we were 6 in total. Service was good, speedy. Food came quickly and was very good.

Not been to the Globe for twenty years more when it was just a pub with bar meals. A friend said it was now a restaurant and worth a visit. I had a friend down from Birmingham so took him to try the place out. The bar man did not seem to know much about what was happening and we had to find our own table in a small room off the main area. Mistake! It was more like a corridor with staff hurrying about from one place to another, talking and laughing. We decided to try the fish and chips and mushy peas. The meal arrived and the chips were in a small wire basket and the peas in a pot. The batter was very dark and extremely hard which made it difficult to get at the fish inside. Really not worth the effort as the fish was grey and utterly tasteless. My friend, in his broad Brummy accent said, 'that's worse tasting fish I've ever had'. I had not said anything as he was paying and I did not want to appear churlish but his comment agreed with my thoughts. We asked the waitress what kind of fish we had had, and left, but she did not know. Eventually we were told that it was haddock. I know the place was busy with what appeared to be a finger buffet but it was no excuse for poor food. To top it off my friend tried to pay by card but the machine would not work for quite some time. Very disappointing.

I recently spent one nights stay at The Globe in Topsham and it was lovely! I had a very warm welcome from the ladies on reception and then was showed to my room (number 10), this was located by their courtyard and with the weather we had at the time it was like a little holiday cottage! My room was just perfect, the decor was lovely, beds comfortable and had everything you needed! I had lunch and breakfast at the hotel and it was really good, locally sourced food and good affordable prices.The location of the hotel was great - smack bang in the middle of everything so you could easily walk around and down to the quayside! I would definitely return!

My husband and i ate her on the Sunday of the late May bank holiday on route to Cornwall we were seated in the new part of the restaurant which was a tad odd as we were totally alone and there were spaces in the other part?However the food was lovely I had scallops for starter and my husband had the pigeon we normally share but we were enjoying our own selection so much we kept them to ourselvesBoth had roast beef for main the beef was lovely still a little pink, the veg was beautifully cooked, i could have eaten a bowl of the gravy. Roasties were a bit salty but being pickyWe will definitely come back to and look at staying here the next time

Centrally located in Topsham, this is a lovely hotel tastefully refurbished to maintain its original old word charm. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The showers are powerful and towels fluffy. The restaurant and bar serve great food and drink reasonably priced. Lastly the staff are all absolutely great, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area.

Ate here because the Pig & Pallet was too doggy.Sat in the restaurant (dogs not allowed!) and had a great dinner of proper pies (not just a stew with a bit of puff pastry plonked on top) and lovely dessert.

Stayed at the Globe and ate in their restaurant. Tasty, well presented choice of bistro food. Lovely service in bustling restaurant. Really enjoyed our evening.

We went to celebrate an engagement in the family. Lovely food, honestly priced considering the good quality. All fresh all very tasty. Look forward to eating there again

Es un bar que es parte del hotel, buena atencion, un poco mas caro que el resto de los lugares, pero muy acogedor en salon. Muy popular en el pueblo de Topsham.

Recently refurbished coaching inn with plenty of history. The quality of the food is good and I've a number of meals there, as well as just popping in for coffee and cake.

We were visiting Topsham and recommended the globe by some local people. We booked a table for 7.00pm, the restaurant was buzzing and very friendly staff. My sister and I had mussels which were supposed to be the best in Devon. They were lovely but tiny (maybe not the perfect season) The sauce was yummy. 2 lads had steak which was equally as good. We retired to the bar after our meal. Such a great atmosphere . Can`t wait to go again :)
