The best restaurants in Clyst Valley East Devon South West

I was in two minds on whether to review The Cuppa Cabin. On the one hand it is a very unique place that serves great coffee and cakes and yet on the other Im worried it will get super popular as more and more people visit this wonderful place and it will get much harder to find a parking space!! This is literally 5 mins away from me and yet amazingly this was my first visit. I had looked at the place as I had driven past numerous times and thought it looked just like some sheds in a car park. How wrong I was, it is like a mini theme park when you get there, a collection of cabins with an eclectic mix of antique furniture, books galore and oddities, like a cross between an amazing junk shop, an old book store and Enid Blytons secret garden. I half expected to come across some pixies flying around. Anyway great coffee, lovely cheery lady and tasty cakes (pastries and other savouries are also available) what more could you ask for ?

Party of 6 of us went to Winslade to celebrate my friends birthday, first off I must say we had a great evening. Few little things my starter of poached egg on black pudding was very nice.. it did have bacon on the top which was not mentioned, my wife had the squid with aoili which was very much like butter (maybe that's there take on it), my fish coarse of sea bass was delicious, mains I had Duck with honey & 5 spice sauce..cooked perfectly, I ordered a side of potatoes rosti which arrived they were very similar to chunky chips, luke warm and very crunchy with a drizzle of truffle mayo (I should of sent them back, big didn't my bad) , wifey had the salmon fishcake topped with a soft boiled egg which she thoroughly enjoyed, one of our party had plaice which he loved, two others had the chicken breast which was good. The desserts were beautiful. I feel the dinning room lacks a bit of atmosphere in my opinion, in saying that the interior is very tasteful, the service was good, to sum up lots of good positive points but a few not so good which is why I gave the experience 4 instead of 5 stars.

Had the regular beef roast, probably the best roast I've had in ages, great cauliflower cheese and the roast was massive we were really late into service at 230 on a Sunday.

Probably the best hot chocolate you will ever drink! Nice food too. We had flat breads. Service though misses the mark. Very hard to get anybody’s attention. Had to ask for cutlery and napkins and took ages to arrive. Staff are very polite and friendly but maybe they just need more staff. Would recommend.

There can't be many places where both: A) A bottle of olive oil costs £45 (not a joke or exaggeration, actually true) B) The toilets are filthy.

Fantastic British boozer excellent staff really friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely and clean with toilets on the ground floor. We had food I chose the burger and I would thoroughly recommend it. One of us had the steak and it looked superb I would absolutely recommend the Blue Ball we were staying in the Marriott it’s well worth the short walk for a decent pint and a superb meal and for a reasonable price. Excellent overall we enjoyed the time there.

We have stayed in this hotel and had an evening meal. Firstly the room, very nice and spacious with a very comfortable bed. I slept like a baby. The only constructive criticism I would have is to replace the seal in the shower or clean it deeply. And the meal was amazing. Delicious and presented well. As a vegetarian I ordered camembert fritters and they were crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Very nicely spiced. And for the main I had an aubergine gratin and it was to die for. Really yummy. The only feedback I would have is my watercress with fritters didn't look fresh and it wasn't vital to the meal. I would just serve it without. My husband had sticky chicken for a starter and burger for main and he was happy with everything. But to be honest for the price we paid it was a great meal. And the menu states calories for each dish, which I thought it was amazing.

Used to visited the cat & fiddle once a month in the late 80s, early 90s with friends from our American car club. We had a reunion and although u der different ownership, the cat & fiddle is still a friendly, comfortable pub/restaurant to visit. The staff are friendly and chatty, and the food is very good. The only strange thing we noticed was last orders at 9.30, as they close at 10pm. They don't get much/any business late in the evenings, so they close earlier than many other places. Still, it's a great place for a pint and a meal.

The menu made what was quite average food on arrival sound amazing- it really wasn’t worth the money! Kind of a champagne price and the food that was served was more Prosecco I’d say. Staff were pleasant, we had a £10 off £40 voucher which would not go through their till, so a bit disappointing really as we spent over £90!

I enjoyed a lovely generous portion of scampi chips and thatchers haze in front of a warm cozy log burner 7th November 24 The staff are friendly it’s clean and tidy even though they have had an unfortunate event of a leak in the roof with works on going, don’t let this stop you enjoying what they have to offer. Go and give it a go, I was tempted by the carvery as it looked amazing but went for my go to favourite. I would definitely go again if ever passing in the future.

What a find this was. Was so good I booked to come back in months time. The food was good, fresh local produce and cooked really well.

This was our first visit to The Farm Table and it won't be the last, from the moment we were seated until leaving, the service was superb, a special shout out goes to Cal and his young counterpart (Sorry didn't get his name) for doing such a great job, both a credit to the team. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed all 3 courses with a lovely bottle of wine. It's a lovely atmosphere at certainly a venue to dress up smart and enjoy the evening. Extra effort made for birthday, even to attention to notes on booking and washing my partner happy birthday as shown to the table.

Very nice atmosphere with friendly staff and high quality food!

Chips are awful. Fish generally good. Shame
