The Last Drop in Exeter

Now called The Nest. Been hear a couple times since opening. Nice larger, nice food. Service good. I like 👍

The best pub in Exeter, the owner James is very sexy!

Is this place even still open?! No response via email, phone call or Facebook. Hen party for 14 booked for Saturday, for venue hire reliant for an activity and evening food and cocktails. I visited on Saturday and the place looked very closed “due to staff sickness”. Deposit paid some weeks ago - concerned they’ve taken our money and run with it. But mores to the point with three days to go I will not find alternative room hire. Obviously if I hear a response from them before Saturday I will delete this review - but gut instinct tells me that they are closed and I won’t hear a thing… very worried and disappointed, 14 unhappy hens.

Best Sunday roast we’ve ever had! Will definitely be back.

Really nice cocktail bar above the pub...comes up as a speak easy. Wishing them well as they are new owners but very friendly and good cocktails!

Went for a Sunday roast yesterday, I wasn't overly impressed to be honest.. I would say it was pretty average which is a shame as some of the past reviews photos look amazing, however, upon reading past reviews I can see that it has changed hands recently. I felt the portion was a little small for the price, didn't get much lamb and I think I got three very small roast potatoes and one boiled potato? Felt that everything could have done with a bit more roasting and the gravy was also really watery and lacked flavour. The cauliflower cheese was lacking cheese and seasoning. Overall just a bit average but it was nice enough. Not in a rush to return though which is the main point.

Best burger ever!!! Jake and Jen are awesome. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with great music soundtrack. They make you feel right at home!!!

Great little bar upstairs and down

My wife and I visited for a Sunday roast, the first time since the change in ownership. We were very disappointed. There were only red meat options available (beef, lamb or pork), and as someone who doesn’t like red meat I was forced to have the only vegetarian option, a pea risotto. I’m sure vegetarians and vegans would also like the option to have a roast. The risotto was very bland, and massively overpriced at £14. My wife had the beef. While she said this had some flavour, it was chewy and not particularly hot. I sampled her vegetables and potatoes, which were underdone and again cold. The roast was similarly overpriced at £18. To top it off I paid £5.10 for a pint of lager. It really felt as though little care has been taken over the food and drink menu under the new ownership, and this place is now really about maximising profits regardless of the customer experience. There are plenty of far better options in Exeter and so we won’t be rushing back.

Lovely staff, clean rustic look, lots of natural light. Sports for those who are interested.

Had a lovely roast here. Also recently had an evening meal. The food and service was excellent.

The restaurant informed us last minute that they are not serving anything besides their tasting menu. Would expect the information to be sent earlier so we could decide between other options but all restaurants are fully booked on the day before valentines. Well played game odd fellows

Had an amazing meal here on Friday! 7 brilliant courses of really interesting food.

I've been there twice for Sunday lunch, every day different, but food in both were fresh and delicately cooked. I really recommend for foodies or for people who loves eat well in a relaxed atmosphere. "Una explosión de sabores" from the starter to the dessert. La crema de champiñones con trufa fue una auténtica sorpresa, las nueces caramelizadas y las pequeñas setas con un toque agridulce. Como Ratatouille. My compliments to the chefs.

Brilliant quality food and service. Definitely recommended on tonight's offering

Cute little pub/restaurant. Staff are friendly and service was quite quick, which are all good points. Between us we had a lamb roast, beef roast and chicken. The lamb was raw and fatty. The beef was overcooked but still quite nice and the chicken was good. Portion sizes are definitely on the smaller side and you only get a Yorkshire pudding with the beef roast. Vegetables were well cooked and the potatoes were beautiful. Out of the 3 of us we would not return based on the food offering. Having read other reviews it seems the place has just been taken over - we weren't aware of this at time of booking - hopefully the new owners can iron out the kinks and bring oddfellows back to its previous reputation.

Nice little place. Great customer service. Food is delicious, but small portions. I think the place can be made better if they introduce a 6-course meal.

Nice place food was beautiful staff great prices very good would eat there any time thanks to Joe lacy and the rest of the staff!!A++++++++++++

We came here on a Friday night for drinks and it was such a lovely chilled vibe. Staff super lovely. Drink selection good. I'll be going back again very soon. It felt very safe with Covid too if you're still a little worried as the tables are separated well.

The Oddfellows has recently reopened under new management so we were very keen to try it for dinner. We were not disappointed! The staff is very friendly and all the dishes were beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and delicious!

This was my favourite place to go for a roast but since changing owners/ new chefs… I would give the Sunday roast a miss. The price for the lamb roast was hiked up to £17, fine, but the lamb was raw and the roast in general was just poor. You definitely got your money’s worth with the previous owners. The bar manager was fantastic when we spoke to him about our experience, he understood and reduced the bill since we had been fairly regular customers. I’ll give it a couple of months before I come back, hoping the chefs would have improved on the roast dinner by then. We shall see!

Stumbled upon this quirky place by accident, looking for a bite to eat before leaving Devon. Set menu with excellent food - more of a gastropub than a regular pub, portions on the small size but making up for it in quality and presentation - and a very tasty desert, nice tap beer and friendly staff. Would definitely return to this place if around Exeter.

Unfortunately has been an absolute terrible experience. Over- cooked Wood Pigeon, Over cooked steak, cold potato, WELL over-cooked duck..... TWICE!..... It had the texture of liver. Wrong drinks brought to the table. Over 45 mins between courses. And not to mention the dirty cutlery. On the plus side, scallops with the radish and apple sauce (muse bouche) were really good... And the cheese board. I won't come back.

Oddfellows indeed... Had a rather 'odd' situation here where we booked a table a couple of weeks before but by the time we came it had completely changed ownership. So we ended up arriving here on their "opening" night after changing management. It was quite disappointing and felt like they were unprepared and not ready to open. The menus were badly printed and the ink was hard to read and barely visible. The bar had no ales on tap and they didn't know what wines they had. They also only had a 'set' menu of two and three courses. I asked if I could have 1 course and they said that's fine. Anyway, the portion sizes were very small and my meal was a tiny portion of cauliflower (pic below). When the bill came they charged me £20 for it. I have never had something so ridiculously expensive in my life. It took a lot of persuading to get them to agree to knock £5 off the bill. So even then £15 for the below dish.They tried to tell me it was because I only had one course but the dessert was fruit salad so even if I'd had two courses it would have been £25 for the below and a fruit salad... Madness.

Amazing bar, restaurant , pub, cocktail lounge whatever you want it to be it is in spades 👍

Had an excellent roast dinner, the service and ambience both fantastic . Well worth a visit.

Been here just once while visiting Exeter.. Highly recommended for a Sunday roast!

The roast was wonderful . Very fast service . The Bar person didn't really smile I would go here again Fast and lovely food Quality

Lovely night,good company and lovely atmosphere

We had an amazing meal as part of the lockdown supper club.

Great food good atmosphere great place

Atmosphere and service were great but the tasting menu was a real disappointment.

Went for one of their lock in supper clubs. Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic food. Well thought out and very good value. It's the indi bistro that needs to be in this city. the roasts are next level we have sat with a group of local chefs and foodies and no one has anything but praise. Big ups

Banging Sunday Roast and brilliant Quiz night every Tuesday. Lovely staff as well

Nice bar, good food, a plethora of drinks and a private intimate cocktail bar upstairs.

Nice place, but definitely on the expensive side. £4.50 for a cider so keep that in mind

Excellent food and choice of menu . Efficient and friendly service . Nice ambiance .

Sunday dinner is very nice and staff are awsome

Great Sunday Lunch, friendly and attentive staff, vibrant and relaxed atmosphere

Great little watering hole in Exeter City Centre.

Love the menu, chilled atmosphere x

Friendly staff, good atmosphere good cocktail selection upstairs

This place is a few things: a pub where you can drink and chat, a restaurant that does very good food, and a cocktail bar with a bewildering range! There's a good choice of beers, ciders and spirits downstairs. The food is the kind of fare that would make you roll your eyes at its sheer fashionability - were this any other pub - but the hard working kitchen staff pull it off admirably; making every meal feel like an event. It's also worth mentioning how friendly, polite and courteous all of the staff are. Definitely one of the better places to go out of an evening in Exeter.

Staff Christmas meal. Friend helpful staff. Food great. Catered for a colleague with a Gluten, Soya and Dairy allergy and I do not know many places that can do that.

Good beer, excellent staff, a pleasure to visit 😁

We had a fabulous family party in the Speakeasy Bar - delicious food, cocktails and a great atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff who helped to make the night special for the birthday girl!

A lovely pub with a good mature atmosphere.

Always excellent food, service, atmosphere, cocktails, ambience and decor... Can't think of any negatives.

Great service, food and cocktails. Lovely for a cheeky but relaxing night with friends

Great service. Great Sunday lunch.

Food - Very poor Service - Great Started with 'Crispy' calamari (£7) which was so salty I almost drank a whole jug of water, also not crispy (seemed to me like the chef didn't wait for the oil to get hot enough). I also had the beef burger (£15) which was bland and overcooked. Really the meat had no discernable flavour apart from salty. The service was very friendly but the food was an absolute rip off - a supermarket ready meal would have been comparable, probably better.

This is the most fantastic cocktail bar in Exeter. I loved it.

Good food and nice staff. Helpful with allergies.

Been here four times this year for Sunday roast dinners, and all were top notch, and with good service.

The beer is a bit pricey but otherwise it's a fine establishment.

Loved the place. Friendly helpful service. Bargain 2 meals for 20! Lovely food.

What a great little pub,had a lovely Sunday lunch,good portions great quality and excellent desserts. Will definitely return again when were in the area

Great food and drink, with greatstaff

Good music, tasty, filling food.

Good range of beers. Really a gastropub, but I didn't try the food. Helpful and friendly staff.

Nice place to eat probably not to drink only.

Laid back. Good choice of food and drinks

So impersonal dull as dishwater,go across the road to fire house. At least they smile when they take your money.

Good service, delicious Sunday lunch

Best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time!

Food was excellent I had fish and chips and I would say they were the best I have ever had restaurant standard chips are amazing

One of my top 5 places to eat. For a start it's a local business and not a bland chain which Exeter is full of. The food is amazing. I had the best ever pork belly here. You'll find seasonal specials, local produce, food prepared in the visible kitchen with passion. The staff provide great service. I'd recommend booking if you want to eat. It can get busy. The bar area isn't huge and can bottleneck into the restaurant. I'm only reviewing the restaurant area as that is what I use mostly. There is a cocktail bar upstairs, an outside smoking area, and sometimes there is live music.

A good traditional public house serving good cask and craft beers.

Locally sourced ingredients combined to form fantastic food, served in an Al a Carte fashion within a relaxed, friendly, non-pretentious setting; this is what other so-called Gastro-pubs aspire to be. Excellent.

Fantastic meal, was well worth the wait. Only thing that was slightly disappointing that it took a while for the waitress to come over and take our order. But all in all very happy.

Amazing roasts on Sundays! Book ahead to avoid disappointment

Odd fellows is a brilliant place to go for the food, drinks and for general I would recommend going if nmyou haven't been yet.

Great Sunday roast and fab atmosphere..only slight niggle was 2 hour limit on table as we would have stayed much longer, drinking and chatting with our friends as we love it here

Great food here and live music on Fridays too. The Big Fat Quiz with Adam in the Hat, on Tuesdays, wins an "Epic Sunday Roast" each for the winning team, an almost impossible roll over question though.

Busy and friendly bar &. restaurant in central Exeter. Food workmanlike and slightly overpriced.

I went for Sunday roast a few weeks ago and had the nut roast which was unbelievably delicious. My only regret is that after five years in Exeter this was my first time visiting this lovely pub. The service was also good, highly recommend.

I was able to get a seat and the bar staff were friendly. They had the rugby on in the background if you wanted to watch it. Beer is a bit pricey, but you know that before you go in. Would go there again, as there aren't many bars like it in Exeter.

Huge cocktail list, very tasty food as you would expect for the price. They don't have a huge menu so you might want to check before going what the vegetarian/vegan option is

Really nice layout and atmosphere

Fabulous food. Well served. Great wine. Shared camembert was awesome. The strand were perfectly cooked and the dessert was special.

Cosy bar, great live music, nice cocktails upstairs!

Best roast dinner with the tastiest vegetables, lovely staff always enjoy drinking and eating here

Nice little pub with a nice cocktail bar upstairs

Great food, cosy atmosphere and reasonable drinks prices. The salmon was a bit underwhelming, but the pork terrine was overly generous...

I really enjoy visiting the Oddfellows. The food is always very yummy and they have a very nice range IPAs on tap.

Lovely place with an excellent vegan menu and award winning vegan Xmas dinner

Clean and tidy, nice quiet atmosphere, polite friendly staff. Enjoyable place to sit and chat.

Nice atmosphere, bar was full of rugby fans but all well behaved. Food is simple, but done well and pretty good value. Only slight problem is that as it got busier, the wait at the bar did get quite long, maybe reallocating some of the staff to the bar later on May help shorten the wait!

Very good food, served promptly by friendly staff. Very cosy cocktail bar upstairs. Nice range of Ales. A very nice place to go for a drink.

A very big appetizing Sunday lunch. Good value.

Great food and very friendly service.

Prefer the Oddfellows in Exmouth

great meals and atmosphere, fresh see food and healthy vegetables

Nice pub... Didn't try any food.

Lovely oasis in an area of Exeter sadly lacking the quality shown by this establishment. Good selection of Ales and a very well chosen Wine selection.

Great dinner, very good service.

Both times the food was very good and tasty

Friendly pub with excellent restaurant and beer selection. Definitely the best place in Exeter town centre

A friendly bar with gastropub aspirations. The chefs working in the kitchen are visible from the dining area. There's a cocktail "speakeasy" upstairs, and regular events, such as open mic, pub quiz and live music.
