Tally Ho Inn - Exeter

Met up with some friends here for a lunch out. Lovely pub. Nice play area at the back. Small car park but you can park on the road nearby. Delicious food. Would definitely come back again Very friendly staff

My husband and I made a trip out to the Tally Ho to book my Dads wake. It was around 1130 in the morning, we could see the lights were on and who I can only assume was the manager was behind the bar. He could see us looking and rather rudely shouted “we aren’t open until 12”. It was during the cold spell and we didn’t want to wait around for half an hour so my husband said to him through the window “do you still accommodate wakes” he stormed over to the door and opened it, my husband said “sorry to bother you we were looking to book a wake”, the man was so rude and dismissive he tutted and said “I haven’t got time for that come back later” and closed the door. Never will we eat in the pub again. It used to be so lovely in there, I had heard from friends that there was a very rude man that worked there if he’s the manager I can’t see him lasting very long!

It was 9 years ago since I wrote my last review on the Tally Ho when I said I hoped that it would survive. No need to worry, good quality food and friendly staff is a winner. Been again today as we are regular customers now and hope to continue to be. Rump steak is fantastic, there are always Specials on the board but why change if you know something is good. My husband always has the Hunters Chicken and like me is predictable. Thank you Ed for being so accommodating to my requests, and thank you to the bar lady who knows what I want before I order!

We were attending a family christening at St Luke's church nearby and a buffet had been arranged here. The pub is lovely and the interior reminds me very much of a traditional local pub. There was a good selection of beer and they serve cask ale, when we were there they had Dartmoor's Jail Ale a very good beer and well kept. I'm afraid I can't comment on wine selection but I didn't hear complaints and the Prosecco was going down well. The crowning glory of this excellent pub is the beer garden. Given we were very lucky with the weather we could make full use of this facility. Great seating areas and very nice wooden children's play areas, yes plural! We all had a really great time at the buffet. The food was of A very good standard and a nice variety. As veggies the choice for us was among the best we have had. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would fully recommend this as a venue and would love to return as a customer for a drink.

My husband and I had dinner at The Tally Ho on Saturday, August 8th. We were in town for our grandson's 18th birthday party the night before and had booked a room at the Premier Inn. After looking over the evening menu there and deciding it wasn't for us, we decided to try The Tally Ho in the afternoon. We were warmly greeted by a friendly lady and after a drink and looking at the menu, we decided to book a table. The lady promptly put a reserved sign on the table for us. When we arrived for our meal, the landlord greeted us and we ordered drinks before deciding on our meals. My husband ordered chili and was asked how spicy he wanted it, while I went with the rump steak cooked medium well. Both dishes came out exactly as we had requested. It was a fantastic experience with very friendly and helpful staff. If we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely be back. Well done to everyone at The Tally Ho!
