The best restaurants serving British food in St David's 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

Me and my husband stopped here for some lunch at the weekend whilst visiting the Christmas Markets, the sandwiches we had were delicious and I loved the vibe of the place.

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!

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!

Popped in for lunch after walking the dogs at Steps Bridge, a truly traditional village tea room, a warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble, small, select menu of panini’s, jacket potatoes, cakes and afternoon tea’s, all freshly prepared to order, absolute delight of a find, will visit again

Indeed, again, my professional careers and training as well as educational experiences within five countries in Catering/private Service/Telecommunications/Customer Service/Retail/Care usually gives me the correct insight on quality in services (so I have been told by many people). The prices seems reasonable. The food quality and cooking are ace! The service is sweet and the athmosphere is very "English soothing" like for enjoying a great English breakfast. The only minus? We asked for half of the full size for breakfasts, two teas and one coffee and it seemed a bit stiff money wise. Especially as I did mention it was my birthday and I, my self, would have at least given two free hot drinks (I learned that in France and Southern California in commerce, which is, do holistic gestures towards some customers as that is a good retention move for them to come back as much). Still, Sally is just a golden nugget of a cafe owner and her staff walk their talk in service: merci!

We had a lovely meal at Bill's made very enjoyable because we had a fantastic waitress called Maya who could not have been nicer and more helpful. We look forward to returning and hopefully seeing Maya again. Thank you. We also had a curry and pancakes and sticky toffee pudding which were delicious.

Quite nice spot right in front of the cathedral. Great on a sunny day. Pretty standard cafe lunch food but nice all the same! Fairly good vegan options.

Brunch here is totally fantastic. Add to this - the building and decor makes for a great setting. Can recommend the Garden brunch and green smoothie!

Had my party here and the manager and all staff were fantastic!! Would highly recommend.

H is the nicest guy ever!!!! Emilie & Maja!

Amazing bottomless! Served by Beth all afternoon! Can’t fault it at all, served fast and she was so polite and friendly :)
