The food is always reliable. I really like their outdoor seating by the river on a nice day. It&#39;s just a very comfortable spot to enjoy a meal, the chairs are quite good for a long sit. Service is friendly and makes everything easy.

Super dog-friendly spot! Our pup was over the moon with their special doggy ice cream. 🐶

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. 👍

The staff were incredibly attentive, really made us feel looked after. The space itself is bright and airy, very pleasant. Found a lovely Spanish red on the list that paired beautifully with the grilled octopus. A very solid spot for a relaxed lunch.

Nice, cosy pub with comfy seats. The staff are really friendly, which makes it a relaxing spot for a drink.

Staff were very friendly, especially with our dog. The chef even came out to greet him personally. Service was prompt and efficient. Good spot for a quick, relaxed lunch.

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.

Owner&#39;s a lovely bloke, really makes you feel welcome. The milkshakes are the star - you can tell they use proper coffee, not that syrup stuff. Just a shame they don&#39;t do a decaf version for later in the day.

Iain was a great server, really on the ball. My burger and chips arrived super fast. Tasted good, no complaints. Perfect for a quick lunch break.

The vegan eggs benedict with the silken tofu was a real surprise. I was curious about the texture, and it actually worked quite well. A solid, creative dish.

Been coming here for years. The veggie options are solid. Had the Ragara Pattice to start and the Palak Cootu Curry. Both were tasty, decent portions. It&#39;s reliable.

The coffee here is pretty good, the barista clearly knows what they&#39;re doing. It&#39;s a comfortable place to sit and chat. The staff were friendly enough, though my latte did take a little while to arrive.

The staff were so lovely and attentive. Our waitress was particularly kind, which made the whole evening really pleasant.

Been coming here for years. The curries are always piping hot and packed with flavour. The wine list has a decent selection of Indian reds that pair nicely with the richer dishes. A solid spot.

Wood-fired pizza is fresh and tasty. Good for a quick bite. Gets busy though, had to wait a bit for a table. Worth it for the flavour.

Grabbed a takeaway pizza and chips. Asked for half-and-half on the pizza, no problem at all. Chips were spot on - golden and not greasy. Pizza was decent, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Quick and easy.

Had the meatball tagine for lunch. Came out bubbling hot, rice was spot on. Decent service, nice vibe. Good for something a bit different in town.

The jacket potato with Bolognese was spot on. Sat outside on a bright day with those views. My decaf flat white was a good choice with it, smooth and not overpowering. A very pleasant, simple lunch.

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.

The food is cooked to order, which is nice. But for the price, the portions are a bit on the small side. It&#39;s okay for a quick bite in the Barbican, but I left still feeling a bit peckish.

Service was attentive, they kept our water glasses full and checked if we wanted more chips. Didn&#39;t have to look for anyone.

Dan was so helpful! The pizza was spot on and ordering was a breeze. Perfect for a casual catch-up with mates.

The scones were lovely and fresh, the clotted cream was rich. I did notice the jam was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the overall quality of the ingredients was spot on. A nice, simple treat.

Lunch stop. The scotch eggs were delicious, a proper treat. Sat outside in the good weather, it was lovely. The cob salad and jacket potato were just right.

Been coming here for years, and the roast veg with wild garlic dressing is the reason. It&#39;s always spot on. That covered outdoor bit is a nice touch too, especially when it drizzles. Just a solid, reliable plate.

As a meat eater, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the food here! The flavours are so delicate and vibrant. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. The mushroom bao buns were a real highlight.

A nice little spot near the beach. The staff are always so friendly, which makes it a relaxing place to stop. I&rsquo;ve tried their paninis and the hot chocolate is really good. They were very helpful about my nut allergy, too.

Lovely spot right on the water. Sat outside in the sun and the grilled octopus starter was so fresh and tender. A bit pricey for the portion, but the view made up for it.
