The best restaurants serving British food in Topsham Exeter South West

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.

Lovely welcome this morning for a couple of tired cyclists. Been visiting here for years and highly recommended.

Having spent a large amount of time in the pub over the last two or more years it’s safe to say the staff, particularly Babs and Josh have created a lovely atmosphere, providing consistently high quality food and a good selection of drinks….. 5* would highly recommend Thanks, Chris 😘

Stayed in Topsham for a week and discovered this cafe towards the end of our stay. We liked it so much we went there 2 days in a row. Portions are generous and service is relatively quick. Loved their smashed avocado on toast. I asked for it with a fried egg and it came with 2.. was extremely full afterwards :) Deceptively spacious as there is a side room and also an outside eating area I think. The only niggle is that on one of our visits we were sat by the kitchen we came out smelling of food! Would be good if the extraction was better.

Good points first…. Great location, staff were lovely… bad points I think the chef accidentally let the top of the salt cellar drop off, my food had so much salt in it! Especially the mash potato! Going to be so dehydrated tomorrow! We also had a group of workmen next to us , who were only drinking beer in the dining room f..ing and blinding, which ruined our meal. We will return but only for drinks and the view.

A group of us met in Topsham for a walk and lunch. Not knowing how many would turn up, I had booked for 12. In the event, there were 17 all keen for a lunch. All credit to the team at The Lighter for accommodating us all on a very busy day, even managing when we turned up an hour earlier than planned. The food was excellent, the service too. Wholeheartedly recommend the smoky fish pie. Best fish pie I have ever eaten, and I have tasted quite a lot. Well done chef. Handshake from the South Devon Ramblers.

As we had lovely meals at the Salutation in the past, we suggested it for a reunion with old friends. Obviously there has been a shift and the restaurant has aspirations of an up market restaurant. Sadly, it didn’t measure up. Very expensive, ridiculously small portions, the quality did not measure up to the price by a long shot. We were not only disappointed but very embarrassed. Will not be returning. .
