The electrician had been summoned at 8 .30 a.m. and still had not arrived (12.30 We understood...the situation and asked if we could have a sandwich and were told the chef had gone on his rounds and in any case the extractor fans were not working . Eight other people came and went. So I guess 10 people will never go back. I somehow doubt whether any staff turned up for work-it didn't seem the lady in the bar could care a toss.

For our wedding reception, we booked a small group of our closest family at the Exeter Inn. Though we had never been there before, we had heard great things and decided to take a chance. I informed the manager that it was our wedding, but with limited time for planning, I simply requested a few tables for food and asked if they could hang a couple of banners the day before. To our surprise, when we arrived, the whole restaurant had been reserved for our party, giving us the space all to ourselves. The owner warmly welcomed my husband and me, and for the first 10-15 minutes, he took us aside to allow us to savor the moment alone with a complimentary drink. They also took the initiative to decorate a special table for us and introduced us to the room as Mr. and Mrs. Our guests were all extremely impressed with the delicious food and impeccable service. Our evening turned out differently than we had originally planned, but we were both touched by the effort put in to make it so memorable. The staff went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate everything they did to make our wedding reception perfect. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning!

The service was excellent and the menu had a variety of options. I ordered the fishcake starter, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the bacon brioche. We can't wait to come back soon.
