Lovely pub. Very friendly staff. Also they seem to love dogs in here as loads of dog beds & dog type things. Was only going to have a quick drink but saw someone's Scotch Egg & couldn't resist (even though we'd just eaten) Will 100% return to this pub. Brilliant selection of draught beers. Going to definitely have a meal next time we are in Exeter.

A relaxing pub in the heart of the quay. The food was good quality at decent sized portions. Service was quick and friendly too.the only let down were the awful unclean toilets.

Wow! What a fab pub! We shared a fish finger sandwich, portion of chips and a garlic bread. The garlic bread was a whole garlic baguette (£4.50), portion of chips enough for 2 (£6.50) and the fish fingers were homemade. What a treat! Great service, great beer and not a wasp in site!

We came here on New Year's Day and were certainly not disappointed. We hadn't made a booking, yet the staff were very polite and friendly. It was busy but no one seemed rushed or stressed out. The food was amazing, really delicious. The staff were first class and the place was immaculate. I would give ten stars if I could. Will definitely be going again soon.
