The Seven Stars in Exeter

Have tried twice to eat here. The first time there was a no walk-ins notice on the door, the second time was told we couldn't have a table and had to book. Understandable if its that busy and popular, but they have massive billboards advertising food. Maybe make booking before turning up clearer to?

Brilliant revised menu, great staff, clean pub.

Wonderful steaks and friendly fast service

Stopped for Electric charge. Also a nice convenient place

Lydia was great couldn't do enough for everyone stepped in serving drinks and serving food good vibe about her and the staff around her

great food lasagne was lovely. conrad lydia and ashton were great

Good service, good range of beers. Fair pricing. Food is very good , my gammon was slightly burnt at the edges but otherwise excellent.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere

The service was good, the food mediocre. The Mac cheese was awful, tasteless. The macaroni cheese you buy in a packet is better.

The staff were amazing and so friendly. The service is impeccable and the food was glorious! I had the steak which came with onion fries and I would go back just for the fries! Absolutely amazing, I would totally recommend it to anyone!

Excellent service, great food, please t atmosphere. Janine and staff as hospitable as always.

Used to love visiting the Seven Stars Exeter for lunch and often went. Things have gone downhill since the change to the Menu. The food was not good and seems like it was budget food…. Although the prices certainly aren’t for what you get! Sadly we won’t be visiting again. The outside looks very shabby and not at all welcoming as scaffolding has been up for many months. What is going on Ember Inns? Very disappointing.

Staying in hotel down road went as a walk in. They were busy at 6pm but the fitted us in enjoyed food,good value 2 course meal after 5pm. Cocktails made as ordered were lovely.

Excellent food and service. The staff are so helpful and pleasant, nothing is to much trouble. Food arrived quickly and was delicious, great value for money. We will be back soon.

Lovely meal tonight for our anniversary. Food really nice and staff although busy made time to be warm and friendly.

Food was average but it wasn't expensive,the place is clean and tidy.

Met family and spent a considerable amount of money but unfortunately the food was over cooked. Felt quite uncomfortable as there seemed to be too many staff working and who felt it necessary to linger around and watch our table.

The food wasn't of great quality but it wasn't bad, the service is kept to a minimum (you order by phone and you get your own water) But the place is nice, on the street but nice

Excellent food, great friendly service and good value for money.

Excellent customer service and great food all a brilliant prices - highly recommended and very child friendly too.

45 minute wait and it wasn't that busy.

Gentleman behind bar very friendly. Brilliant service from Jack, welcomed us as soon as we walked in & seated us. Again very friendly persona. The Sunday beef was delicious & just fell off the bone.

Lydia is always very welcoming and helpful

We’ve just stopped for lunch and the food was amazing, 10/10 will definitely going back , staff were really helpful and friendly. We were served by lydia

Me, my daughter and granddaughter came in for lunch today, the staff were very friendly and greeted us politely, we had a fantastic lunch, I had the avocado and grain salad with a chicken skewer and it was delicious, my daughter had the sausage and mash, 10/10. We were served my Lydia

Good atmosphere but the staff are rude and when went to the till to order food and drinks got told that I could order drinks but not taking food orders and this was only at 6pm

Service from a young lad on the bar was exceptional including the food and value

Walked in with 3 young children, it was very quiet. Smiled to he members of staff and asked for a table, to be abruptly asked if we had booked a table and sighed at ,as it's summer holidays when we hadn't was told by I think it was the manager as wasn't in uniform that they need the table back withina hour and a 15 as again, it's the summer holidays. This was fine. There was no need to be so rude to paying customers in a very quiet restaurant, also we are aware it's summer holidays as I have 3 young children with me that all go to school hence why I went in with them on a Wednesday. We ordered our food within 5 minutes of being seated, then to be huffed and puffed at while we ate and plates being taken before we had all finished. When we left there were 2 tables in this restaurant. I tried to get eye contact as I left to speak to a member of staff but they avoided my eye and carried on their own conversation.

We had a nice meal here. We sat outside because of the good weather. You sit at a picnic table, which is less pleasant for your back and buttocks in the long run. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Service was fantastic. Lydia the manager was so helpful and really good fun . Nothing was to much . Staff were fantastic and once again another fab meal. The chef sould be proud.

staff were brilliant especially jack very helpful and polite food was lovely would go again

Great place. Great service. The food is excellent and there are always good deals on the app. The barman Ashton is great, always brilliant service, very friendly and happy to help!

We had a fabulous meal, steak was lovely, dessert was yummy , staff friendly and the atmosphere relaxed good value for money too 😁 thanks x

Lydia and Christine gave excellent service and the steak exceded expectations

The service was great and the staff were very friendly. The food was very tasty and the steaks were all cooked as ordered. Plates cleared straight away and the desserts were very pleasing. Would definitely recommend eating there.

Food was amazing and Lydia and Christine was very welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Food was delicious and very good prices. Servers were very polite ( Lydia and Christine) and food came out very quickly. Would recommend

Fantastic service, quick, great food and super friendly service! Ruby, Ashton and Chloe were wonderful! Huge shout out to Janine too who was fab!

The service was good from start to finish. A nice welcome and we were shown to our table. We chose, went to the bar to order where the staff were very good. Waiting staff good and check back within 5 to 10 minutes. They food was lovely and hot and cooked well. Good team on this shift.

Great service from Jack and Ruby

Ashton (serving at the bar ) is a star. Lovely bloke. Always enjoy meals at 7 stars Exeter ( especially when you send discount vouchers. Thank you.

Good food, great service from Chloe, Ashton, and ruby

Great night and great food and one of a very few pubs in Exeter that serves John Smiths 👍.

Stayed in a local hotel and dined/drank here twice. Good menu - especially loved the sea bass fillets - priced reasonably and had a good selection of beers & ciders on draught.

We had an excellent meal today. We find the food great and service friendly. Nothing is too much trouble and they will change to fit your likes .

Lovely food, always a great breakfast! Lovely staff, Janine served us, she was great!

Food basic staff not that bothered

Very disappointed with the food - overcooked/ burnt chicken, undercooked veg, including cauliflower cheese, although tried the sauce and it only tasted of nutmeg or whatever was added, certainly not cheese. It was a treat for my grandchildren who I am now cooking for as they ate so little! I tried to get them to eat their chicken but both immensely dislike burnt anything! I was given some money back but I must say Ashton was extremely attentive and was going backwards and forwards to arrange the refund, well done Ashton you were so courteous and understanding, you should be proud of yourself! For you alone I would give ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. My big QUESTION is where was the Management? I have worked extensively in the food industry and the one thing I would never have done is throw any of my staff under the bus, this sort of complaint is ALWAYS for Management to deal with, not to be invisible! We won’t be back sadly, even though you refunded me £10 out of the £25. I still felt what we did manage to eat (roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding and gravy plus 2 scoops ice cream) was in no way worth £15. I was not about to dispute this further as felt it was not fair on Ashton to be a go between! Praise again to Ashton x

We asked if the open steak sandwich could we have it has a sandwich instead of open the chief said no wasn’t a lot to ask not good customer service apart from that service was ok

The food was delicious as usual , me and my family went for a meal we had two savers meals which u can have 2 courses for 11.29 and , kids food is cheap and affordable , staff are nice and always make you laugh , sometimes they are fully booked but when you can be fit in make sure you check out the brownies 😊

My friend and I had lunch yesterday at the Seven Stars in Exeter. The service was good as usual. We had posh (sea bass) fish and skin on chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. It was piping hot and the fish was lovely. Janine and Lydia were serving and as always friendly and polite. In fact all the staff are great. The tables have always been cleared after use , ready for the next customer. I would highly recommend The Seven Stars Exeter

Amazing place with amazing staff,food,drinks and atmosphere

Just visited the pub. Enjoyed my time there. Lovely beer garden

Slow service, messed up food orders and then took 15-20 minutes to resolve it and bring out sides that were a part of the main meal ordered. Wouldn’t return

Me and my Partner went for a quick meal, we didn’t book the table. However they greeted us with excellent hospitality. We ordered some food which was delicious and great value too!

Exceeded expectations. Lovely meal. Janine our waitress was superb. Really friendly as were all the other staff. Thank you.

My family visited yesterday The service was great, janine was lovely, will definitely be back to visit when there in the area

Came with family food was amazing and fast with very friendly team will definitely be coming back

Food was good pub grub. Service was friendly

We went for the curry evening and were disappointed. The gravies were delicious BUT it would have been better if they had been introduced to the meats. In the Lamb Jalfrezi there was ONE piece of meat and my Madras had three. And on another note, they need to clean the pillars next to the tables. They contained more content😞

Great food. Great price.Vegetarian and vegan options. Served by Lydia, who was very attentive, keeping an eye on her customers needs, without being obtrusive. I was impressed, so I mentioned to her that we'd noticed that she was doing a good job. Mac and Cheese and Beer Battered Mushrooms...piping hot and very tasty !

Only went in for a quick lunch, cheesy garlic bread, and battered mushrooms( had to ask for the dip once it had arrived.) waited 40 mins, and there were 6 outside eating and 20 inside max eating, but it still took 40 mins Staff didn't seem to know where they were doing all and all, not an experience we would not be repeating

I visited on a Friday evening and there was an extra noisy table behind us so it was hard to have a conversation but the service was great overall. I just found my burger to be a little burnt but I did eat it all!!

Perfect apart from the special £2.50 price for a starter or desert on a Sunday. As new customers we were NOT told about this deal and we ordered from the menu that was on the table. We looked at the desert after our meal and found the two menus on the table were different. Maybe if you take away all other menus and just leave the Sunday menu this would not have been an issue. The food and service were fantastic and we will return but will check the menu before ordering.

Nice pint, pity there is limited seat choice.

Christine & Lydia were very welcoming. Great Service & Friendly Atmosphere! Chicken Wings were Awesome

We love the Seven stars. Sensible prices. Lovely and clean. The best part is how the staff treat our autistic daughter, nothing is too much trouble inorder for her to have a settled happy experience.

Amazing atmosphere brilliant vibe amazing staff always kind and friendly food is fantastic always plated nicely and food is always nice and hot

Absolutely brilliant staff so helpful funny and thoughtful. The food is first class never had a bad meal and we use the seven stars a lot.l always recommend to other people.So if you haven't tried it go.The hospitality is outstanding.

Very good service. Lovely choice of food and drink. Very welcoming and very clean

We were able to eat out in the garden in the sun. The service was good and the food was amazing

One second in that bar I was told I wasn't welcome. I was just hungry and I was told nothing. Place should be closed down. I actually ran away at the time, the two females were abject

Very helpful friendly staff, we all enjoyed the drinks and excellent food.

Quality of food never fails to impress for what you get. Would definitely recommend the mixed grill 🤤

Great value food with welcoming staff and a happy atmosphere. If I'm being fussy, the roasties were more like chunky chips than roast potatoes. But everything else was nicely cooked with good flavour, including roast turkey which was moist. And there's not many places where you can get a Sunday roast for under £11 any more. Update: second visit. All of the above still applies. Particularly the friendly, helpful staff. Tonight I had steak though and, although the flavour was good, it was so tough I actually had to leave half of it. Everything else was good.

We arrived at 12 and although our table wasn't ready, it was promptly made up for all 7 of us. We ordered our food at the bar and it came out in about 20 minutes. The food was lovely and good value. The restaurant was very busy so we did have to wait for our plates to be cleared away and our desserts to be served but we were in no hurry. We were there for 2 hours. All the staff were very friendly.

The food was ‘ok’. The veg was hard. I checked out your website and it said you were dog friendly otherwise we wouldn’t have picked it. To ensure we could bring our dog I put it on the booking. When we arrived we were advised we could not take the dog inside leaving us to sit outside in the cold and for some of our stay the rain. Yes this was our choice but we had travelled from Leeds, West Yorkshire to meet a friend so difficult to quickly find somewhere else. The staff were nice enough and did ask if our food was ok.

Been numerous times. Always good food and pleasant atmosphere.

Ideal place to take the family food keeps everyone happy even a fussy teenager

We we're taking out our daughter, partner and our granddaughter. They were down from Cardiff for a few days. Food was hot and delicious.

Massive thank you to Lyndia who managed to find us a table without a booking. She went above and beyond. Great customer service throughout our visit. The food was great, quick and delivered with s smile. Not to mention the great value for money. All staff done a great job. Will definitely return. Thank you!!

Nice food, it was quiet when we went in, but have been before and could not get a table, booking advised,

Loved this place. We went for a work meal and the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent . Janine behind the bar and (I think it was Molly...sorry if I got your name wrong) were so friendly and funny. I would definitely go back again and recommend to my friends.

Went down on Sunday with my family from Somerset for mother's day there was no mothers day menu when my son ordered they were told they had run out of food my son had booked a month ago he had to pay for something of the menu but waited 1 hour it was awful nothing on the plate looked good if we had not paid our money we would have left a long time ago my son kept saying sorry I said it wasn't his fault I don't know what they paid but was a two course of the menu

Small portions for the meal diet Coca-Cola £3.20 for a half. It took over 20 minutes for the drink to arrive, I would not recommend this place

This restaurant certainly lives up to its 7 star rating! Great atmosphere and food! Would give them 8 stars if I could.

I popped in for lunch with a colleague after attending a work meeting. I paid £11.79 for 3 courses from the set menu. The food arrived piping hot, and generous portions all delicious! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff…very clean! Would definitely come here again and recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Four of us are here today and were served by Jack, Conrad and Janine. The service was excellent with happy smiley staff and the food was good (two mixed grills and two pies) at a very reasonable price as we were utilising a 40% discount offer. The premises were warm, comfortable and clean and I am sure we will return before long.

I had lunch with a friend, nice and clean, a nice choice of good pub food .

Went for a date night It was a lovely place to come to eat and enjoy each other company food is always good and hot very well priced is well. Will be coming back again soon

Haven't been here for a few years forgot how nice it is we had 2 course lunch option I was with 3 friends & loved the choices enjoyed what we had & everybody agreed to come back again staff helpful polite and professional it was very busy but atmosphere still good highly recommend well done everyone.🤗

The welcome was a very warm one. We arrived about 20 minutes early but they were able to seat us straight away. 2 of us had the Sunday roasts and they were really lovely

Came here on a Sunday while I was at work. We had a lovely lunch.. the staff were so friendly and helpful. Sat by the cosy fire... Food was lovely and so was the pudding.

Great today. No kids just people enjoying calm atmosphere. Excellent as usual. Nice to see male servers as well.

Very nice refit in general, but they forgot the ladies' toilets, and they look dreadful. The food was nice, but then it always has been... and another visit toilets are looking worse than ever food lovely .. Toilet still needs a lot of work. The dirt underneath both hand dryer is terrible. I doubt anyone has tried to clean it off 😡

Came here for my wife's 60th birthday, had a wonderful meal, exceptional service from start to finish, the food was delicious and perfect presentation, and with a warm and friendly environment. As an elderly gentleman I found the app very easy to navigate. Was greeted with a smiley face making us feel welcomed and another colleague showed me how to use the app, as again being an elderly gentleman not to good with technology, The person who greeted us and showed us to our table was Conrad. And the lady who showed myself how to use the app was called Janine

One of my regulars, good pub food, what you'd expect from a chain. Decent atmosphere, big beer garden

Love our local jannie and staff are great food is lovely always looked after, New Year’s Eve had a great atmosphere brilliant my fav meal mixed grill yummy husband loves their burgers and steak 👍10/10

Staff were friendly food was good.

Good standard of food. Staff are always happy and helpful. Enjoy every visit.
