Good points: Newly refurbished - lovely light, bright decor good selection of food and wines on the menu, helpful staff Cons: Ordered white bait. Possibly just a mishap but it tasted really bad and was concerned it may be off. Staff were very helpful and gave me an alternative. Thanks.

The Grove is one of our favourite places to drink and eat in Exmouth. It's a great venue for an evening drink as a couple but also very pleasant and relaxing with the children too. We were delighted to discover when walking in last Friday that following a refurbishment, the place has a fresh new look which has given it... More

This is the 2nd time we have had a meal here, this time was for Sunday Lunch. I had the pork loin, other members in my party had the roast beef; the chicken and the fish pie from the normal menu. There were no complaints from anyone, the best dish served was the fish pie. The prices were normal for... More

There would appear to be new managers here and they seem to be starting to have a very positive effect on what was a very tired and mediocre establishment. In particular I notice that the menu has improved from typical, mostly frozen/micro-waved pub grub, to a greatly improved and quite interesting fresh cooked menu; their local Exmouth mussels were outstanding!...

We took family here for an evening meal this week. We were all really underwhelmed. We have lived in exmouth all our lives but it has been a while since we visited The Grove. The lady on the bar was friendly and quickly sorted out a tab for us. Beer selection good but overpriced. Whole place needs a lick of... More

We took the family (and the dog) to The Grove at the weekend and despite the pub being extremely busy, and the staff run off their feet, we had an really good time. The food was excellent, and we can give a big 'thumbs up' for The Grove Burger. We also had a crab risotto and an an asparagus tart... More

We are fairly local to this seaside town, so on a day trip with the children, my husband and I decided to stop off here for lunch yesterday. The menu looked fantastic, we really thought that the food would live up to what it was described as, but we were wrong! We both had a roast dinner, firstly they bought... More

Stopped of for lunch on a busy Sunday, great to be able to sit in the garden in the sunshine. Although very busy it did'nt take long to get served by the friendly staff. A great selection of beers so something for everyone. The food we ordered did'nt take overly long to come considering how busy it was, and what... More
