The best restaurants serving British food in Alphington Exeter South West

It’s a beautiful pub, the owners are absolutely brilliant & so are the staff. Welcoming & cheerful atmosphere, the food is brilliant. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Love it here but need more staff

Wanted to be near Exeter Quay and decided to go to Harvester as large car park for late lunch. Three or four people at tables in bar area and it looked like perhaps 1 or 2 tables occupied in dining area. We waited where it says wait to be served, no one. Went to bar. Could hear and see staff working as they were hovering around the door behind the bar and there was an obvious moment of panic when we nearly caught someone’s eye and they quickly jumped back into the back room so they definitely knew we were there but still absolutely no one came to help us. Felt almost like they were hiding until we gave up. After about ten minutes we realised there was absolutely no chance of any service, walked out and found somewhere else to spend our money. Thoroughly unimpressed.

Excellent meal, as usual. We are never disappointed. Good value, excellent food, generous portions, friendly welcoming staff, what more can I say. Definitely recommend.

As we walked in and were looking for a table we were greeted by Tom who was really accommodating and found us a lovely table by the fire. He got us some drinks and provided great service throughout our meal. The food was perfect and quick to come out. A lovely birthday lunch.
