This is the jewel in the Wetherspoon&rsquo;s crown. If you don&rsquo;t know about Wetherspoon&rsquo;s pubs, restaurants and hotels, they are budget friendly,  no frills establishments many in repurposed banks, shops, high street offices etc. This offering in Exeter is a little different though. The setting, in quite extensive well maintained gardens, is a large old house that used to belong in turn to various professional people. The building has been remodelled and added to over the years. The spectacular cast iron orangery where you can dine from breakfast to dinner time was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Great Western Railways chief engineer in Victorian times. It was originally part of the main building of Exeter university but was moved here many years ago. Food was up to the usual standard at Wetherspoons and served on the distinctive crockery which was specially designed for the company. My youngest daughter and I ate here several times over a three day trip to view the university. We ate both breakfast and dinner here. I thoroughly recommend having at least a drink or preferably something to eat here if you are in Exeter.☕️ A tip is that your tea, coffee or hot chocolate is bottomless and at the time of writing was only 1.81 GBP per cup.

Came for a group dinner. Ryan and the team were really helpful, made sure we were comfortable. The live music was a nice touch, not too loud. Food was good, no complaints there. A relaxed evening.

Decent spot on the industrial estate. The classic cafe vibe is clean, no fuss. Had the full English breakfast. Portion was generous for the price, honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good, solid food.

Steak was decent for the price, and the unlimited chips were a nice bonus. 👍

As a coeliac, I&#39;m always a bit wary. But they had a decent GF menu. Got the pizza, it was actually good. Everything clearly labelled with allergen stickers, which helps a lot.

The owners and staff were so lovely and welcoming. The food was simple and tasty, just like the menu said.

Been to a few Indian spots in Exeter, this one gets the flavor right. The chicken tikka masala had a proper depth of spice, not just heat. Service was quick and attentive. Place is clean, well-kept. Solid option for a reliable meal.

Been coming here for years now. The portions are still massive for the price, which is why I keep coming back. You get a proper, filling meal without breaking the bank.

Our go-to for Indian. Ordered the lamb biryani and a few curries, all fresh and flavourful. The wine list is decent, found a nice Shiraz that went well with the spices. Service is quick, especially if you call ahead on a Friday. Prices are fair.

The portions are huge, perfect for sharing with friends. Food was still piping hot when it arrived, which is a big win for delivery. We had plenty of leftovers!

The Sunday carvery was a nice, easy lunch. The Yorkshire puddings were huge! I liked the variety of vegetables. It was a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy a meal without any fuss.

The little one&#39;s ramen was a hit, honestly. Just the right size for them, and they actually ate it all. The menu for kids is pretty decently priced too.

Fresh fish, worth the wait. Had the grilled sea bass, perfectly cooked. Busy night, took a while. But you can tell it&#39;s made to order.

The food is pretty good and the place has a nice buzz. Tables are a bit close though.

Always spotless when I visit. The tables are cleared quickly, floors look clean. It just feels comfortable to sit down for a meal here, you know? Makes a difference.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s that family-run feel that keeps me coming back. You can taste the care in every dish, like they&#39;re cooking for their own. Always fresh, always consistent.

Great space, amazing food and wonderful service. Really appreciate the birthday surprise for my daughter . Thanks for making it such a lovely night for her.

Really liked the cozy, traditional pub feel here. The quirky decor adds to the charm. It&#39;s a very welcoming spot for a relaxed meal. My only note is that some of the booths are a bit snug, but the friendly service more than makes up for it.

New to the area. Found this spot. Got the chicken tikka masala takeaway. Solid. Good portion for the price. Will order again.

Been coming here for years. The free car park out back is a lifesaver, especially on busy weekends. Place is always spotless, which I appreciate. Just a reliable spot for a straightforward meal.

Still our favourite spot in Sidmouth. Had the lobster again this time &ndash; the meat was sweet and perfectly cooked, just like we remembered from last year. The vibe is as lovely as ever.

Service was quick and friendly even when they were packed. Food arrived hot, which was nice.

Nice view of the river. Solid veggie options. Had the mushroom risotto, decent portion. A bit pricey for what it is, but okay.

This pub is a great local spot with friendly staff and a nice selection of beers. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning with friends soon.

Booked for a birthday. The chocolate cheesecake was the star - rich, not too sweet, with a perfect crumbly base. Staff were really friendly, had a nice chat after. Good vibe in the room.

Popped in just before closing, and they still had a good selection of vegan options. Really appreciated that the ingredients felt fresh, even late in the day. The staff were lovely and offered a complimentary drink, which was a nice touch.
