The best restaurants serving British food in Exeter South West

Fantastic food as ever last night in the @34, great to see the college working with alumni and outstanding local businesses to support the next generation.. fantastic

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

Husband saw a review somewhere recently which said best bacon bap in Exeter was from Buttylicious. Had to visit furniture store earlier today which is just down the road so thought let's give it a try. What an amazing choice of food at very good prices but decided to stick with our original choice. Three very large thick slices of lovely bacon in a soft bap. Had to go back to the lady to say how lush the bacon was. We will definitely be back but not sure for what as so much to choose from. Maybe a cheeseburger as another customer was just being served one and it too looked delicious. Don't anybody think this is just another butty van in a car park, it is so much more!

By far the best lunch you can get in Exeter! Consistently amazing sandwiches, well priced and generous portions. Just remember to preorder as they understandably sell out fast!

Just had a lovely two day business trip staying at this lovely venue. The room was beautiful with all mod cons and cosey attire. All staff were very kind, attentive and only too pleased to help. The Car park is a little tight to get to if your driving a larger car but I managed to get through ok. Other facilities I have stayed in Topsham do not have car parks so this was a bonus. I shall be back.

The fish and chips the mrs had was delicious i had the mixed kebab very tasty always good food here never had a bad thats why we keep going back 😋 😊

I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who will listen! Great staff, great atmosphere and food! Props to the owners!

I was invited to a birthday party this weekend and found myself at a bar I’d never been to before—and won’t be visiting again. While the private party room was pleasant and we managed to create a good atmosphere, the bar itself left much to be desired. To start, the drink quality and pricing were absolutely outrageous. I ordered a Gin and Tonic, which is my usual choice. They used a bottle labelled Gordon’s, but I am certain it wasn’t genuine Gordon’s gin. The tonic was an unnamed, inferior brand. They served this in a small 200ml plastic glass and charged me an extortionate £7.90. Knowing that my body reacts poorly to cheap alcohol, I decided to switch to a bottle of Prosecco, which cost me £30. Although the Prosecco was mediocre at best, it was a slight improvement over the gin. I can’t help but wonder why so many young people in Exeter end up unwell after nights out, given the poor quality drinks sold at exorbitant prices in some bars. For me, this bar is definitely one to avoid in the future. I haven't tried any food, and I wont even going to try.

This is an excellent fish and chip restaurant that offers a bit more than the usual run-of-the-mill place. The homemade fishcakes really were proper homemade ones and so tasty. Although the curry sauce was also homemade, and not typical ‘chip shop’ style, it was quite rich with a fruity taste and didn’t go down too well with the children. However, I had a taste and thought it was delicious! Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions sizes, and seemed to be a bit below the average (£10 for two large homemade fishcakes and chips). We ate inside and were more than happy with a bill of just over £71 for meals and drinks for our group of four adults and two children. Just as an aside, we travelled in two cars and, although I managed to get parked along the side of the road, my daughter had to park in the Exeter Road car park, across the road. Although she paid and got a ticket, a week or so later, she received a fine through the post for alleged non-payment. From the ‘Google’ reviews, it seems that this particular car park has a reputation for scamming drivers. Obviously, this is nothing to do with Squires but it just helps to be aware if you’re parking there.

Absolutely love lloyds lounge, especially on a Friday evening when they do their live music! It's a great spot for date night or to go with your friends. Their small plates are really good, realltly tasty and good value for money.

Lovely brunch spot on the quay. Food was lovely and great service- looking forward to coming back one day! Menu was varied with specials also, only wish our stay was longer so we could try more!

Recently re opened under new management. Great local pub , good atmosphere, good community spirit. Great to have our local back. Thanks Chris

Welcoming and relaxed local cafe in St Thomas, Exeter. Delicious sourdough toasties and a great selection of pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and pastries.

Our daughter has been raving about the salad boxes and scotch eggs, I finally made it today. Had a bit of everything in the large salad box,certainly full of flavour, bombay scotch egg packs a real punch too. Can't wait to go back and sample the quiches.
