Reviewed 27 February 2013

“Meeting up with friends and family”

We visited on a Saturday evening during February. We chose this venue because of the easy access from Exeter, East Devon and Torbay. Good carvery at a reasonable price, pleasant atmosphere and service. Desserts were good.

I'm sorry that your recent visit did not live up to your expectations, totally agree that we should not have run out of lemons for your G&Tonic. Our meats are cooked in a Alta sham which are slow cooked to ensure that the meats are fully cooked and tender. We normally have 2 joints of beef to cater for our... More
