The best restaurants in St James Exeter South West

Decent little pub with food selection of beers. Ideal if you are going to St. James Park for the football as it's on the doorstep

This was absolutely fantastic. The sushi was delicious and plentiful too; the service was extremely kind. I would highly recommend that you visit here as soon as possible.

Still a go to for special occasions since almost 20 years! Found the seasoning lacking across all dishes we ordered, especially the main event - steak. The service was pleasant, professional and non-intrusive as always. The atmosphere and decor always cozy and special. Hopefully, the seasoning can be less reserved and more confident on next visit! Overall, still our favourite. Visited 29th April early dinner.

The beef brisket rice is really delicious😭😭😭The Anran ecstasy rice is also delicious! The onion and ginger juice is delicious and very cost-effective. The menu is rich, delicious and affordable. The meal is served quickly and the portions are large!

Recommend EFES SPECIAL 2 it was delicious. Staff are kind. Thx for service 👍🙏

Proper pub pub. Dog friendly too

As a showroom of furniture and fashion, it's great, they also have a nice small tech section, essentially everything to furnish your home and to adorn yourself

What a night! The chicken korma banged. Saag Aloo 4/10. Free poppadoms slapped. And packet of monster munch x

Ordered extra on the pizza and payed for it but didn’t get the toppings

Tasty food chips were great. Very fast delivery.

Aman Khan was the loveliest server- so kind and helpful and made the best sandwich ever!!! SO YUMMY AND FAB SERVICE

Scoop of gelato missing AGAIN (4th time now)

Best place to go for Chinese food in Exeter. Very good prices, with a main being HUGE portions and only bout £7 including rice. Not the best vibe and not the place you go for the aesthetics but perfect if you want some good food rather than cute insta pics. Lots of options for different dietary restrictions. Cash only though.

I have read and heard mixed things about this place so thought I’d try it for myself. It’s been nearly 8 years since I visited this place but WOW what a difference. Newly refurbished in 2024 new management and if I’m honest new pub. Gone are the sleazy look’s dodgy deals and scary atmosphere. I’ve now been in several times since Christmas 2024 and always a warm welcome from the staff. Maria & Kirsty the new management have turned this place around 100% it’s now a well run safe place to go. No food but they don’t mind you having your own with one of their drinks of course. It feels like a traditional family pub should be. I was in last week and met Maria for the first time what a sweet landlady she is no nonsense take her as you find. She was working with her father-in-law and he made us so welcome a great asset to this place nice to see a family working together. I have seen the place very quiet and very busy the staff are always polite yet firm with impatient customers. Lots of students and of course locals a real mix of Exeter people. Great to see they have free pool on a Wednesday , a student discount every day and karaoke on Sunday. one night I heard the Landlady sing she was brilliant. I love watching how much the staff interact with each other and customers it’s nice to see customers shout the staff by name when they start and end a shift. All I can say is keep it up I’ll be back more often from now on. Thank you James
