Just wanted to say a huge thank you to team dev for making my 18th birthday special.

5 stars isn't enough Very friendly pub great atmosphere amazing food Well priced .. great offers Thank you so much

Everything about the place was perfect. I travel the UK and and best my local hands down!! Had the king prawn dansk (immense) king prawn puri (immense) and a garlic bread which was ....you guessed it. Thank you chaps. Lovely people too I came back the next night 18/9 and was just tremendous as the first. Ordered slightly different, again, immense!! I'm going nowhere else when back here!!

Service above and beyond food is excellent 👌 Highly recommended 👌

It’s all on the board, but I went for the full Monty and tea. Nice strong mug of tea, relaxed but very busy. Two fried eggs, mushrooms, back bacon, beans, black pudding, a fried slice, tomatoes, hash browns and two sausages. Also came with toast and butter. It was quite a feast and was all delicious. The sausages were incredible, yes, good sausages. So full, but very happy with the food and service. Will come back when we’re down this way.

Just read Exotic has closed down! Omg im so gutted about this! It was my only take away! The best! I understand the reasons for this, but this is such bad news for kettering. Thank you for all the delicious food and exceptional customer service that you have provided over all these years! Such sad news. Wishing you all the best in whatever you move onto.

Excellent hearty food. Well priced. Nice clean, well presented venue. Would recommend.

Excellent service, food was superb 👌

An amazing place we didn't eat but the food being served to other customers looked lovely so next time with another chai latte will be breakfast oh staff amazing to 😁

Absolutely spot on. Small Sunday lunch was huge, more than enough and at £12 an absolute bargain. After a disappointing experience elsewhere in town midweek this was a joy. Very busy and a lot of people turned up without a reservation and were disappointed. Good service and friendly too.

Broken WWW server which they can't be bothered to fix. Can't order online and nobody cares if I phone.

The food was well presented and tasted good. However the quantity didn't mirror the quality and our entire party felt over charged and under nourished, Our starter was the panco cod cheeks with prawns in a katsu sauce. How do you justify £12 for two prawns, two miniscule bits of cod and a drizzle of curry sauce? The main wasn't much better The menu reads rack of lamb. It's actually only 2 thin lamb chops for the princely sum of £32. and accompanying vegetables needed to be ordered separately.

Came for lunch with my mum on a busy Saturday. We had egg mayo/ham & cheese sandwiches which were really generous portions, we each got 3 large sourdough sandwiches with salad and crisps. We then had a piece of cake each (which are also big) to enjoy at home and they were delicious - especially the mocha! Such a lovely little tearoom and will always visit when in Bakewell.

Nice friendly pub with a great range of beef, and a nice hidden beer garden

bag leaked, lost both eggs and mushrooms from falling out, very poor packaging
