The best restaurants in Alphington Exeter South West

We stayed for two nights in order to attend a family wedding. The staff were very friendly from the outset and we were made to feel very welcome. Meals were plentiful and well cooked and our room, although basic, was comfortable. Thanks to Steve, Mandy, Lorraine and Marcus - would recommend!

Came here on a busy Friday night. Despite this our experience was exceptional. Service fantastic and our meals were absolutely delicious. Not to mention beautiful location on Exeter’s quay. Overall a fabulous evening. Will definitely be returning. Thank you Rockfish!

Over an hour to wait between courses to then be served a cold roast and no ordered side!? The waitress was amazing and very apologetic, she was obviously embarrassed. We were offered a free pudding but just wanted to get out of there!!

Great service from Oak & the team. Creating a real community feel at the local pub, keep up the great work.

half my order was missing and food was cold

Really lovely people and food - a bit too much hot sauce on the enchilada, overtook the flavour of the chilli con carne. EDIT: the hot sauce didn't make the food too spicy, it just made it very vinegary and acidic!

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.

A visit to the Boatyard Cafe & Bakery on Exeter Quay is a unique experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and not only can you enjoy some beautifully prepared and presented food, you can also glimpse the bakers at work preparing the special bread and other goodies they have available. The staff are welcoming and dedicated, which is why it is so popular, with a huge turnover of customers for breakfasts, lunches and all the goodies from the bakery. If you haven't yet given it a try, do pop down to the Quay along Haven Road, and drop in to the Boatyard experience asap. You won't be disappointed I promise!

Review for Ruby and Lydia Ruby and Lydia provided absolutely amazing service — friendly, efficient, and totally on top of everything. Even though they were clearly short-staffed, they handled it like pros and really went above and beyond. The place could’ve used a couple more hands, but these two absolutely smashed it. Big credit to both of them! Sad that they are leaving

Debbie le hizo a nuestro amigo un pastel de sóftbol para su cumpleaños. ¡Ella respondió muy bien a nuestras peticiones y el sabor del pastel fue increíble! Muy húmedo y sabroso. Muchas gracias, somos clientes muy felices (y feliz cumpleaños). Exactamente lo que queríamos y atención al detalle (las costuras de color, etc. eran perfectas).

On a sunny October morning we took a table outside, after clearing the table ourselves as the staff clearly hadn't - it is a great spot for people watching. My husband went indoors to order two coffees and two bacon sandwiches. The coffee arrived fairly promptly and was good. The bacon sandwich took nearly half an hour to arrive and was the most meagre bacon sandwich I have ever had. A lot of bread but hunt the bacon. I took the bacon out of one half to try and fill just half a sandwich - it was still meagre. It looked quite pretty with a few decorative leaves, although there was no dressing on them. I would rather forego the leaves and have some bacon instead. During our time there we noticed that almost all customers were having to clear empty tables to sit at. The staff just weren't doing their jobs. I would have marked it as 1 star but gave an extra simply for the fact that I liked the coffee. How it says it is award winning, I have no idea because I certainly will never go back.

Lovely restaurant, with the added bonus of a car park. Three of us had lunch here today; staff were, as always, helpful and friendly. I just wish we had a Nandos in Torquay and I didn't have to travel 25 + miles each time I wanted to eat there.

Actually delivered the wrong drink 🤣 ordered a caramel frappe and a chocolate frappe, but got 1 caramel with coffee and one without 🤣

We had beautiful weather, so we sat outside beside the canal and had a wonderful time. The daily fish entree and the pork chop (with duck egg) were delicious. Service at the bar was a little disorganized, but, overall, we recommend The Double Locks very highly.

Amazing dinner and a fantastic service. My food was freshly cooked and served with a great smile from a friendly team member.
