The Jolly Roger Tea Rooms in Exeter - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Esto ya no es la sala de té Jolly Roger. Ahora es el té dolorosamente genérico y aburrido en el muelle. Perdió todas las peculiaridades que lo hacían único, y también ha disminuido la calidad de la comida, especialmente en los bollos y la selección de té ha pasado de ser increíble al desayuno inglés normal, Earl Grey, etc.Es muy triste ver una caída de lo que fue uno de los mejores lugares en Exeter para tomar un té con crema, y ahora es solo un café corporativo aburrido sin encanto ni singularidad.

Hola, como dice lo anterior JR se ha ido, creo. Tea on the Quay ha reemplazado al JR. Buena comida precio no está mal, y las mismas personas que estaban en el JR.Todo el salón de té ha cambiado, extrañé todas las cosas que tenían, pero está limpio y ordenado, y llevan a los perros con correa.Definitivamente iré allí de nuevo, oh, no estoy abierto los martes y miércoles en invierno, pero solo llamo bajo el JR. Espero que ayude.

He visitado este café durante años, solía ser uno de nuestros pequeños cafés favoritos. La comida sigue siendo buena, pero no era el estándar que alguna vez fue. Los asientos al aire libre son baratos, viejos e incómodos. ¿Cómo podría alguien siquiera considerar poner esto afuera para los clientes? Algunas de las sillas son muy inestables y bastante inadecuadas. El baño es pequeño, y necesita urgentemente una reforma. El servicio puede ser muy lento a veces, y ahora ya no aceptan pedidos en la mesa. Noté que en nuestra última visita no estaba muy ocupado, pero la cafetería de al lado con cómodos muebles exteriores estaba repleta. También iremos allí la próxima vez también. El Jolly Roger ya no es lo que era, no te preocupes.

Visitamos aquí mientras que en un paseo soleado. Mi esposa quería probar algo diferente, así que pedí un té de frutas (Berry Berry era todo lo que tenían) y yo tenía negro americano.El personal era encantador, servicial y amable y las bebidas eran geniales.Es un lugar encantador para sentarse y descansar y volveremos.

What a lovely friendly place to sit and eat well cooked and well presented food. You can watch the people play on the water and enjoy the fresh fruit that decorates your dish. We thought it was maybe a little expensive but it was so good that we forgot that and will be going back for more.

Took a friend here on Monday only to be told they were not serving food as they were full inside. We were sitting outside. What's the point of outside seating if you can't cope with everyone's orders! Come on JR it's August, school holidays and one of your busiest times.....get your act together and get a bit more cheap labour, sorry staff!

Had a great experience here on a scorching Sunday afternoon looking for shade (but atmosphere) whilst on holiday with the dog. We sat under a parasol amongst the flowers, and found it a great place to sit on the quay whilst watching the world go by. The staff were very people- and dog-friendly, and we loved the variety of fruit as a side salad to our snacks. The ice-creams were very popular (the biggest selection I have ever seen) as there was a continuous stream of people queuing for them. A pity we live a long way away, but would recommend to future customers.

Stopped for a quick snack after estuary cycle ride. Bacon sandwich top notch with fruit on the side. Lynne had a fabulous cream tea with sumptuous amounts of clotted cream. Only little gripe was the filter coffee but would not stop me coming back. Ken and Lynne

Lovely setting by the Exeter Quays, jolly coloured seating under parasols made it a very pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were lovely. Seating inside and out. Loo is shared, might be too narrow for a wide wheelchair, but clean and tidy and fit for purpose. We had a prawn sandwich, which was nearly £9 but it was a really delicious plateful, well worth it, also full of salad and fruit, crisps and coleslaw, a very good meal and perfect on a sunny day, very refreshing. We look forward to going again very soon. There is some building work going on at the Quays, which can be a bit disruptive, but we don’t mind, that’s when cafes need your custom the most.

The food was not up to expectations especially the three cheese salad with the cheese showing some signs of "aging" rather than "maturing". The menu seemed to indicate bBrie but Edam was on the plate.The children's milkshake was nothing of the sort - more like a glass of milk with a Nesquick type mixture added.I have to say the cup of tea was exceptionally good and perhaps we should have ordered the scones that we had on our last visit.

Been here a number of times, but it never improves. Coffee is filter, which is not explained when ordering, so you ask for a latte, which looks nothing like it should. Becuase of its location, it is always busy, if i were to have a drink there, go for the Tea as you cant go wrong. Food is of average standard. Don't go and look at the kitchen as it will freak you out, although their rating is acceptable. Just really old fashioned, and staff that are too young, and dont really care.

Visited this tea room 2 days running.

We came here for afternoon tea on New Year's Day 2018, and although it was quite busy, we received a friendly welcome, with good service. It was an enjoyable visit.

We went to the Jolly Roger with friends at 1.30pm. (Used to be Rogers tea room) Unfortunately the cafe had not been kept in the pristine condition and although there were lots of staff we waited over an hour for a toasted tea cake & a bowl of soup. Our friends were served their cream tea quickly but did not have China or cutlery! We did prompt our waitress re our friends finishing their tea & us still waiting (over an hour!) Eventually left at 2.40pm as needed to leave Exeter at 3pm & there was still no sign of our food!

Holy guacamole! Been here a couple of times now and can not fault the food. I ordered a prawn and Marie Rose sauce sandwich and it was delicious! Not only that, it came out with a yummy dollop of coleslaw, fruit, salad and crisps. Heaven! My daughter had a child’s crumpet with cheese. The additional fruit was awesomely crafted into a cheeky monkey face.

Another place on the Quay that I have been visiting for many years. Very quaint and a little more interesting than most. Not quite as good as when Roger himself owned it, but he was a very hard act to follow.

We have not been to this tea rooms for some time but during a trip to the quay a group of 4 of us decided we go as we had always had a good experience in the past. However, on this occasion we were left waiting for at least 30 minutes for our food and that appeared to arrive only after querying the time it was taking. When it came however, 3 of the 4 orders were fine and up to the old excellent standard, the other(dropped scones) was not very good and not value for money. So on the whole the food was okay apart from one meal but the was very poor. Would we go there again? Probably not as it was a bitter disappointment from what we were used to.

I have been to The Jolly Roger many time simply because it has excellent tea and more - Staff very helpful friendly and food always fresh with big portions -

The staff were friendly and the views of the quay were great on a sunny day. The tea came with an extra jug of hot water in case two cups wasn't enough and there was a good choice of cakes.

Stopped here for Lunch on August Bank Holiday Monday. Ordered food having been told that there was a half hour wait on food orders. Twenty minutes or so later my jacket potato arrived. We were told my wife's order of soup would along shortly. Nearly twenty minutes later, me having nearly finished my meal, the soup arrived - following two requests to the staff. The soup was advertised to be Leek and Potato. What arrived was mainly Red Pepper. The staff were rather dismissive of the issue, and on paying there was even confusion as to which table 5 I was on!?!?!

I decided to go here with my family and my newborn baby on a bank holiday. I have never been so shocked, the manager who is very vocal and rude to anyone made us feel incredibly uncomfortable. There was a young boy, clearly new and she was quite happy to belittle him and bully him in front of her customers who she was very lucky to have!

We have just experienced the bad service at the Jolly Roger when the place was at best only half full on a Sunday lunch time. We placed our order of tea for 4and 4 meals from the 'Specials' board - Pork & egg pie with salad & cold slaw (x3) and brie & bacon open sandwich with salad & cold slaw. After about 5 minutes the waitress, who was always very polite, said there was a 35min wait for food. We accepted this and enjoyed the tea. After about 20mins, a second waitress said the food was on the way. We asked after the food at around 50 mins and was assured it was coming. Asking why there was such a delay, the waitress said there was only one chief. Our order of uncooked food finally arrived after 1hr & 5mins. The Quantity of food was sparse for the money. When we finished I asked to speak to the manager, who was not around but the kitchen area was being run by around 6 young staff. After explaining our experience, I agreed to pay 50% of the cost due to the inconvenience we had suffered. Never to go back! TOP TIP: Don't go there unless you want to waste a couple of hours!

We had half an hour to kill before a boat trip so we had a drink and cake... however...

Had a lovely time at my most favouritest tea room ever. Lovely staff (particular fan of the young lady, Naomi?), very smiley and service was perfecto. Scones were gr9, will definitely be back again. Much love to everyone. Never give up. Peace x

We came here for cream tea on our long journey home. It's in a lovely location with lovely water views. The scones were delicious and came with a great serving of clotted cream and jam. I would like to return to try other things as they have a great selection!

Lovely cup of coffee. Well set out plenty of room for prams and wheelchairs. Very polite staff. Will deff be back again. Plenty of outside seating . Highchairs for little ones

Found this waterside tearoom by chance and what a delight it was! Everything fresh and well presented, the cream tea to die for and treats for the dog. Excellent service and very helpful staff. What more could you ask for?

Well location great. BOiling hot day, told long wait ok explained parking ticket ran out in 50 mins, lovely helpfu waitress must have been a student.. Helpful, my sons ice coffee arrived it was not drinkable,, sent it back, decided to pass on any drinks then his cooked breakfast came and it also had fruit all over the plate and no beans??! Tasteless food which he left half.. The place felt run down. Not particularly inside and whoever they're providers are for food needs reassessing ASAP. Will I return No it was v expensive for what.

Have visited many times before and found The Jolly Roger much better than this. It was a May lunchtime, quite busy but not packed to the rafters.

Very nice food recommend you try the home made jam and scones little extras on the plate when you have a breakfast. Love views of the basin

Visited the Jolly Rodger with eager anticipation on bank holiday Monday after a lovely visit to the cafe a number of years ago. We sat down outside and had our order taken by a quiet but very polite waiter. Drinks arrived and we sat back and enjoyed the afternoon sun, well we tried to enjoy the afternoon sun but the waiting staff had other ideas and started closing down the outside of the cafe! I understand cleaning tables and collecting the flower pots off empty tables but our drinks hadn't even arrived and the sugar had been cleared away?! We felt very awkward but also very uncomfortable by the constant bullying of one member of staff. The young waiter that had taken our drinks order and the ONLY member of staff that paid us any attention at all, the lady in charge (manager I persummed, gingerish hair?) treated the young man like something on her shoe, it was absolutely awful to watch. Such a shame as this was such a gem in the past. The manager was very vocal in her concerns of the new development happening on the quay affecting her trade (yes I did over hear as you very loudly talked about it and then accused the young waiter of listening into your conversation?!) well I'm afraid to say you're doing that all by yourself! Please treat your staff with some dignity, respect and care.

Sat down and looked at menu, staff member came over and asked us if we were ready, explained we weren't ready and could they give us a little more time which they did . Our drinks arrived and we sat and chatted in our group, only to be disturbed by lady in charge shouting over us telling member of staff off for not doing job right. This carried on with other jobs and discussing it with other members of staff . We felt this very wrong and not how you treat your staff. We felt embarrassed and felt for the staff member who was being picked on , if you have problems with your staff members there is a time and a place to do this not in front of your customer's.

Breakast at the jolly roger is an experience to savour it's fresh healthy and extremely tasty add the side bonus of freshly cut fruit and you have a winner.

Lovely sunny day for a walk by the quay and popped in here for a light lunch. Have visited before but not for ages. Had a BLT and cheese scone (with pickles). Both came with a generous salad which was fruity and veggie. The scone was large and serves warm which I always love. Large selection of teas here but stuck to chai latte and coffee. Small friendly cafe..Dog friendly and also has highchairs and stuff to amuse the kids.

I have been going here for quite a long time. Without fail there is always a warm welcome and the food is great. Lovely place to sit outside when the weather allows. A place not to miss.

예전에 자주 갔던 곳인데 4년만에 가보니 주인이 바뀌었다. 예전의 추억 때문에 실망만 했지만 여전히 맛있는 클로티드 크림때문에 후한 점수 줬다. 근처에 갔다면 들릴만한 곳.

Called in for some drinks, so can't comment on the food. We had hot chocolate and have no complaints, but average and nothing special. Nice view of the quayside is appealing.

We were staying in the area for a week at the beginning of |November. This was the best brunch we had all week

I have been here in the distant past, mainly when it was a popular destination with some Japanese friends who loved the traditional afternoon tea experience, but this was my first recent visit. My first impression was how little it had changed, even the pingy menus suspended from the ceiling were still there. I came here for breakfast. All I can say is that it was ok. The sausage was not very nice, tasted cheap and not very meaty, and the bacon was pretty fatty but the rest of it was fine. I have had much better in Exeter though. This would not be my first choice for breakfast in future.

I was looking for a place to have a traditional cream tea and somebody recommended me it. And what we finded was a charming place to have a cream tea, coffee al all kind of delicious cakes and scones. Very friendly staff and good location.

We dropped into the Jolly Roger while waiting for a friend, when taking the dogs for a walk on the canal.

Lovely tea room and restaurant on the Quay. Interesting items and pictures in the café and plenty of choice in tea and coffee. Nice snack lunch. Recommend it.

a nice selection of light lunches, cakes, teas and coffee. The sandwiches are served with salad, crisps and fruit. A very good stop off point when visiting Exeter Quay.

Firstly, the food was of high quality, individually prepared and well presented, ample quantities. Great selection of teas.

We have been to the Jolly Roger several times and the standards have always been the same. Excellent food. Staff are very hard working and offer a great service. Food is cooked to order and always of a high standard.

Think of a tea and the Jolly Roger has it! Lovely food and charming atmosphere, with tales of pirates and comfortable chairs. Very helpful staff

"If you don't like the way I do things, don't come back" - quoted by the Manager (older lady/ginger hair).

Just had a coffee here which was very nice, plain ones in a cup only £1.50, good value or fancier ones a bit more. Lovely views of the canal from the Tea Rooms. Plenty of eats if stopping for lunch or a longer break. Service good from the staff. You can cross the canal to here from the other side by a small ferry takes 2 min's and cost 40p. Getting to the Quay you can get a bus (G) from the City Centre. Its an hourly service.

A lovely place to visit for an afternoon tea in a wonderful setting. Excellent service, good quality food.

Only stopped for coffee but an excellent and large latte and mocha served. Attentive service , great place to sit outside and watch the goings on on the quay.

We visited here on Saturday morning to say goodbye to a colleague who's leaving. We had various items for breakfast, all of which were very nice. The range of teas and juice was a great success. The service was great considering we were such a big group. I ate a bacon, egg and sausage sandwich which cost nearly £8. I just think that's a little bit on the expensive side, I'd have expected it to be around £6.50 despite the slightly oddly placed (but nice) slices of fruit on the side. Great to be able to sit out on the waterside though.

I just wanted a sandwich after a cycle ride along the canal so stopped in Jolly Roger tea rooms ... I was not disappointed. I ordered a cheese, ham and pineapple sandwich ... What did I get? A full picnic on a plate with fruit, salad, crisps and a sandwich stuffed full of filling. It was just what I needed without knowing it! Definitely want to try out their teas too ... The list is the most extensive I've seen! Excellent and friendly service and the cafe itself was quirky and interesting. Will definitely be going back

A great place to eat and share a table with other visitors, go on don't be shy just ask if you can sit at a table you won't regret it. Food cooked by the admiral is always at the best quality. We should know we know the menu of by hart now. Cream tea best in town, in fact the county in my book. Try a flowering tea too we do. We love it we go there as often as we can.

This was our first time at Exeter Quay, and it is lovely. We had two hours to spare from when the coach dropped us off before the boat to go on the Canal to Exmouth, so decided to have a meal. There are plenty of places to choose from but this looked a very interesting place. The first thing you encounter which was strange were the hanging menus, it is good you can have a look before sitting at a table, but it did look funny and one little boy loved pulling the one near his table to see if fly up in the air. We both had the full breakfast, it is like a three course meal on one plate. Salad, bacon, eggs, toast, mushrooms, sausage, and then fruit. Have never come across this before, but the downside was we missed our baked beans, lol. We also had a basket of toast with butter and marmalade, which filled us up for the rest of the day. One little thing which was confusing, was you could pay when you ordered, or when you left. We paid when we ordered, but when we had left were chased after by the very girl we had paid to tell us we hadn't. This did upset us, and would recommend they issue receipts, or only have pay with order, or at the end to save any confusion, and embarrassment.

Most fab tea rooms. Looks nothing special from outside but the quirky interior reminds me of granny's front room (except granny didn't have the menu hanging from elastic from the ceiling). Best sandwiches and home made cakes and scones. I always try to visit whenever at Exeter quays. You must get there.

I have been eating at this tea room for many years and have never been disappointed. I recommend the FULL BREAKFAST. Top notch ingredients are used. The place is quirky, in a good way.

What a fantastic quirky little tearoom! Situated on the quayside in Exeter this venue really works hard at producing really good quality food and service, yet keeping it's individual and traditional style. We had an English breakfast and BLT followed up by cinnamon toast accompanied by breakfast tea and filter coffee and sat outside watching people come and go. The staff were really friendly and the owner, Annie, explained to us about the huge selection of teas they provide, will definately return!!

Try the cheese scones, they are different and a meal in themselves - homebaked and you can enjoy a real taste of cheese! Made the England win over Scotland all the more sweeter.

Probably the best tea cakes ever, served with delicious black currant jam ....it's not the cheapest but well worth the extra for the service and the whole ambience of the place. Will definitely return.

Great selection of teas and coffees along with some tasty snacks Ideally placed whilst exploring Exeter Quayside Felt some of the food prices were a little to expensive

I came here last Saturday with a friend as she'd been before and loved it. We had the most delicious cream tea. 2 huge warm scones each (fruit scone and strawberry scone). 3 types of delicious jam and more than enough clotted cream for the 2 of us. Lovely pot of loose tea and plenty of hot water and milk. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We paid just over £7 each which is more than I would normally pay for a cream tea but it was definitely worth it. I'll be making a return visit soon.

Located within the waterside development, this tearoom has a very different style of furnishing and the largest selection of loose tea I have ever seen. The food is also a mix of the usual tearoom offerings and more unusual dishes.

This is our venue of choice for lunch in Exeter, but beware it is so good, getting a table is often hard. The food is simple, but consistently excellent.

My wife and I called in to the Jolly Roger this morning for a snack.

quality breakfast fantastic range of ice creams in summer real healthy food you wont find anything like it on the key well worth a visit

We visited on a very busy Sunday morning - the annual Santa Run - even so the service was exceptional as always and the food delicious Their coffee is always worth a visit Already planning our next visit - thanks

Long list of wonderful loose leaf teas to choose from and the service was excellent. The young waitress had a smile for everyone and nothing was too much trouble. Nice location beside the water.

Lovely little tea rooms with friendly staff , we had bacon Sarnies and were the first to arrive ,I asked if I could have the fat cut off my bacon As I hate fat and they were more than happy to oblige . Definatly would return again

Lovely location but still waiting after 20 minutes for a cream tea with cup of tea and a lemonade. Then a lonely scone was placed on the table. Fifteen minutes later it was still alone. Got up and left. Shocking service and a waste of our time. Went to The Riverside Cafe at the Quayside antique centre instead - which was wonderful.

Went there to eat, sat down, looked at menu, saw £6.60 for poached eggs on toast, left disgusted, went to another non fleecing cafe nearby. By the way, that example is the tip of the iceberg. Avoid.

The cafe is in a lovely spot on Exeter Quay with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is good and the service is usually good. But on our last visit we had to chase up our food 4 times and then we could not eat together as our order came out at different times. The waitress was unhelpful and we will not be calling back for a while.

Four of us visited and three enjoyed our very generous sized sandwiches and the other had " super " soup. Food not cheap but well presented and tasty. Nicely decorated with lots of lovely galleons on ledges and mouthwatering display of cakes in cabinet. Waiting staff were friendly and efficient but kitchen service slow. Good place for refreshment after a quay walk and dog friendly.

Have lost count on the number of times we have visited this place, the food, staff and atmosphere is second to none, our first and only choice to eat when we are on the Quay in Exeter, would highly recommend to anyone, both myself and my partner are coeliac too, they have gluten free options including bread and cakes! Wonderful! Need I say anymore!

My wife and I have been to Roger's many times over the years, and it's never, ever disappointed. We love it's quirky décor and cosy café size (people who complain about its size: it's a CAFE not a restaurant; rate it for what it is!) and have always enjoyed the good food, big portions, decent prices and the delightfully quaint pile of fruit you get with everything!

Went for some lunch after using clip and climb, staff were lovely and very efficient. Food was very nicely presented but felt the children's sandwiches were very small for the price as only two small squares so they eneded up having mine!!! But all the food was very beautifully presented with fruit faces and very tasty. Would Def visit again.

This was a really disappointing visit considering I had pre-booked for a hen day with specific requirements which I had had confirmed would be all available.

Lovely views across the canal basin, always lots of activity. Good coffee and food, Short walk onto Exeter quay, again lots of coffee shops, craft work shops, all very interesting! !0 minute walk to city center and cathedral.

Lovely fresh made scones and a really original styled place. I go there often, that's how good it is. Cakes are well worth trying too.

Dropped in for a cream tea - charming staff as ever with beautiful fresh scones and wonderful apple and ginger jam. Pot of coffee a little weak but such a great place to sit and watch the world go by.

Excellent lunch as usual! Never been disappointed with the food there. Service very good. Two of our party had the breakfast which was huge!!!!! Will go back there as soon as possible especially now the sun is shining. The prawn mayo sandwiches are so delicious!!!

Lovely breakfast with beautiful views when sat outside.they will give you a blanket if you are chilly.amazing choice of tea..maybe a little too many!

Husband and I decided to take an elderly aunt out for a stroll along by the quay and decided to stop for a 'cuppa' and a sit down to watch the world go by.

Service is friendly you are made to feel a very special customer even if you only stop for a coffee. Food is excellent presentation is second to none.

We have gone to The Jolly Roger for years and have always loved the friendly, welcome to people and their dogs. Five of us went for brunch on 8 May and left feeling that it could be at risk of losing it's sparkle. My favourite was always a bacon and egg muffin but muffins no longer available. The doorstep slices of bread were difficult to eat and the bacon was thick and greasy - not at all crispy. The fruit and salad garnish wasn't the freshest. Overall it feels like the place needs a bit of a makeover and good clean - table was sticky. A de-clutter throughout and a face lift for the toilets would also help. Just hope some love and care is given to this lovely cafe to get it back up to where it should be.

Quirky decor and attractive waterside setting. Staff friendly and welcoming. My friend and I ordered sarnies and tea. The sarnies were bursting with filling and there was coleslaw and bits of fruit too. The tea (as I discovered just in time) was genuine leaf, with a cute teapot-shaped strainer. Other food options looked great too. Pity I'm not a local!

Such a lovely day in Exeter and mid way on our bike ride we called in for elevenses.....or tea and cake if you prefer! Lovely big pot of tea for two made with real leaves and two nice slices of cake. Sat outside and pondered the view whilst quenching our thirsts with a pot of tea big enough for four. Nice place and some polite service as well.

Discovered this when visiting Exeter on Sat. 21st Feb. 2015. - Wonderful, Quirky and Atmospheric.

We always head for the Jolly Roger when we visit Exeter. The atmosphere is great. The decor brilliant. Very friendly staff. Always clean. Fabulous coffee and cake. Toast came with 3 types of jam and marmalade. Huge pot of tea. Even our dog was given a blanket by the fire and treats. Well worth a visit.

Walked down to the quay on a cold but sunny day needing food! Sat outside and had a wonderful sandwich, filled to the brim and served with a fruit and savoury salad with coleslaw and crisps. Waitress also brought out doggie treats for our Rough Collie, Would have been welcome to sit inside with the dog but preferred the fresh air, Tea room was nearly full and can see why.

Decor and location are great! Ordered a latte and a chocolate cake. Latte tasted strange, choc cake pretty average and the table was sticky and the place generally didnt look so clean. Was empty when we went in, but quickly filled up with others.

A great place for tea and cake or a tasty lunch. Home made cakes and scones to drool over. An interesting selection of teas, all loose leaf, served in a variety of interesting tea pots. Good value, family atmosphere.

Been going to The Jolly Roger Tea Rooms for years. Called again this week and had to wait ages just for a cup of tea and slice of cake. There were only two others in the tearoom. Why such a delay is anybody's guess. Never used to be like this. Something is not quite the same, the atmosphere has changed and the place always used to be buzzing, not anymore.

I visited the Jolly Rodger recently with a friend. The atmosphere was lovely even though it was quite quiet, although I did think some background music could have helped 'fill' the room a little. My only criticism was the waiting times, the waitresses were lovely and friendly but we waited longer then was comfortable to be served and then had a long wait for our order, despite it just being two hot chocolates. This would not stop me visiting again, however I just hope next time the service is a little better. I would HIGHLY recommend the hot chocolate- YUM

Whist enjoying a walk along the River Exe with a very good friend,our wives were shopping in the City of Exeter,we came across several Tea Rooms.

We visited on a busy Sunday lunchtime. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance. My sandwich served with salad and crisps was very good, fresh bread and nice salad which included fruit. My wife chose the crumpets with cheese and chutney which was equally enjoyable. Good portions and pleasant service. The only downside was the toilets inside the restaurant, the gents had a very loose seat and needed a jolly good clean, the floor was very wet and it was an unpleasant experience. On busy days management need to arrange regular servicing, then you may get 5 stars !

Visited the Jolly Roger with 2 children. The service was very quick. We all had sandwiches which were well made and enjoyed. But the milk shake was poor (tasteless) and was left. Having visited these tea rooms several times over the years, I was disappointed. The decor seems shabby now (rather than shabby chic) and everything feels a little grubby although I am sure that in reality it is not. This general impression was assisted by the fact that cleaning equipment (used duster and polishes etc) had been left on the dresser adjacent to our table. I personally don't like to see so much clutter on the shelves around the cafe either. It is a shame as these used to be really nice tea rooms. Having a good declutter would help.

Born in Devon I have high standards for the cream tea. I have had three here and have never left disappointed. Delicious homemade scones and jams and good tea too. A must! Love the fun decor/ pirate theme too.

Tiny little tearooms tucked away on the quey at Exeter.Look past the decour and furniture it does look tired.The staff were both polite and very helpful.We had a cream tea and it was spot on.What made it stand out was the fact that you are given 3 differant jams to choose from.

Popped in for breakfast and although the prices seemed a little steep, they seem typical for the Quay area when compared with other establishments. The serving staff were really nice and welcoming although the boss/manageress came across as being a bit bossy as she fussed around telling the others what to do. The breakfast I had (poached eggs and bacon on toast) was excellent and although it seemed strange to see salad & fruit listed on the menu as accompaniments, they were an excellent addition making the meal a lovely experience. Recommended.

Visited for the second time yesterday, was obviously busy as graduation day and lots of students inside and out, waitress explained had been busy but took our order promptly and amazing cheesecake, speciality tea and a cream tea arrived within 10mins all for about £10. Staff very friendly and chatty sharing ideas for recipies as before when we visited.
