Thai Orchid

5 Cathedral Yard, Exeter

We had a lovely meal here at Thai orchid, the food was fresh and delicious and the servers were really nice and friendly.
We had one of the set meals between the 2 of us, so you do pay around £45 each, but it was so good and you end up with 7 courses and tea at the end.
We don't live in Exeter, but will definitely come back on our next visit.

Turtle Bay Exeter

Guildhall Shopping Centre, Exeter

Turtle Bay Exeter is a go-to for Caribbean‑style food, cocktails, and good vibes without leaving town. Book ahead for brunch or evening, and let yourself be whisked away. Do expect fun, flavour, and friendlies all around.

Their Bottomless Brunch is where the party starts. There’s proper value with unlimited cocktails, Prosecco, and good-spirited energy. Great if you’re out for a chill brunch or a birthday outing.

Food-wise, the menu hits all the right Caribbean notes - jerk marinades, curry goat, fiery one-pot meals, and even lighter bowls if you’re not in askari mode. Plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians too.

Service tends to be a high point as staff are friendly, attentive, and really seem to get the island energy.

Fantastic tasting selection, we shared the drinks flight and alcohol free flight between us to get the full experience. Big thanks to K, G&G for the great service and to the kitchen for the beautiful food and accommodations made. Everything on the plate has a clear purpose in it's contribution to the flavour and the drinks flights both pair well with the courses. We came away from Stage feeling luxuriously well fed and watered but not uncomfortably so.

TL:DR Great food, great staff, great experience.

iFood Thai Taste

116-117 Sidwell St, Exeter

First time visiting here after hearing good things and we weren't disappointed.
After living in Thailand, I'm always after a decent place to eat and this place was great (although £14.50 for a main doesn't offer Thai prices!!) One thing that was similar, was the speed the meals came! So unbelievably Thai-style quick. We used to joke that you couldn't go for a meal in Thailand and make a night out of it like at home. The service here was great for a young family but maybe not if you want to get to know someone over dinner!

The service can be done online using a QR code or you can order at the counter. We ordered two adult mains, two child portions and a side of chicken satay - we did not have to order the side as the portions were so plentiful, we were all full.
The panang curry I had could have been a little spicier and the soup was so creamy, more so than any curry I've had and I can't figure out if it was better or not - it certainly tasted great!
Would definitely recommend and would definitely visit again.

Hook Fish and Chips

88 South St, Exeter

We placed an order for delivery through Just Eat. It arrived in really good time but upon checking I had no received all the items we had ordered. I phoned Hook straight away. They checked CCTV of them cooking & bagging the order. They mentioned it seemed that it was an issue with the delivery driver & said I needed to speak to Just Eat. I then stressed that as it was our meal my children would be having to miss out. I have complained to Just Eat also. After speaking to Abdul he was so polite & arranged for the missing items to be cooked again & they would get one of their staff to deliver it to me asap. After finishing the phone call he rang back not long after to confirm my phone number in case there were any issues. When it arrived the driver was really polite & apologised. When opening the bag he had included a free box of large chips & a drink along side the rest of my order which was piping hot! I really couldn't fault the service from Hook for sorting out this situation so quickly & with such politeness.

CUCKOO Taproom and Bottleshop

Exploring Exeter, we walked past this place on our way to get a drink elsewhere. I knew immediately this was going to be my sort of place!

As we entered, the bar area was relatively quiet as it was midweek, but still a good number of patrons so there was a nice atmosphere. The previous place we'd been had been hectic, so this was a lovely change of pace and our group could chat and hear each other. The large windows at the front meant that when though it was getting later and darker, the ambience was one of casual cafe bar where you can watch your little part of world pass by.

The beer choice was excellent. A fine range of ales to suit any palette from pales to the more hardcore imperial stouts (of course I did! It's me!!!)

The chap behind the bar was helpful and engaging and happy to discuss the options to make sure we had the right beers for us.

Frankly, if I lived in Exeter, this would be a regular haunt for me!

On the subject of zombie apocalypse, I feel this place might be a useful short term location. Drinks and snacks to keep you going. The large windows mean it might be hard to defend unless they've got shutters (I should have checked!)

Slept well and down for my full English breakfast. Again very well presented and full of flavour. Win Win all round and at £72 at the height of the season, you'd be mad to think any different. Definitely recommend.

I had an astounding meal here. Pan friend salmon with an incredible home made salsa and sweet potato mash. Honestly one of the best pub meals I’ve had. If not the best. Nice relaxed atmosphere of locals and visitors. Friendly, attentive and welcoming staff.

The Diggers Rest

Woodbury Salterton, Exeter

We visited this charming pub first for a drink after a walk, then we returned to eat the next evening. We had such a lovely welcome from Kate, chatted over our drinks and booked a table. We enjoyed a delicious meal, sharing some whitebait to start, then Chris had fish and chips with light crispy battery, and I had a venison steak and all the trimmings. Tge atmosphere was perfect, we didn't see anyone waiting due to their well thought out booking times. Lots of smiling faces, happy chatter, kids and dogs friendly, and excellent staff. Thank you Kate for making our visit so memorable.

O was looking for a breakfast spot (not the typical British breakfast, since I think it’s no secret that British food isn’t exactly known for being delicious?). I came across this restaurant where they were still serving breakfast, and even though I arrived about ten minutes before breakfast service ended, the waitress kindly gave me the breakfast menu without hesitation.

I ordered the salmon avocado toast, which was absolutely delicious—I loved it. The service was fast, friendly, and very professional. The place has a great vibe, and there’s also a nice outdoor seating area if you prefer to sit outside.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for something other than the classic British breakfast. ?

It is a high recommendation from us, if you just travel to the area.

I went in last week to escape the heat. The iced coffee was lovely but the friendly service is what stood out. Friendly and personable, they went above and beyond when they delivered a tub of toys to the table to entertain my 2 year old which I appreciated greatly. I'll certainly be back and am keen to try the food and bakes next time.

I’d go for 3.5/5 for food if I could but only because of the bacon: it was really dry and salty and I can’t quite put my finger on how they cooked it. However: the rest of the meal was delicious - good eggs, bread, and avocado.

Coffee was nice and the spot has a nice ambience.

Wow, Wan's, a Chinese takeaway that stands out from the others. In a good way. First of all, the food is dirt cheap and comes almost in a flash. I was able to look around for a few minutes at the small yet amazing atmosphere. Beef chow mein is absolutely perfect, great noodles, tasty beef, and absolutely filled to the brim. Available to give free cutlery, Wan's is perfect for any visitor in Exeter, or just any residents. Please, please do not go to any other places, as Wan's WILL beat them all.

Fireaway Exeter

128 Fore St, Exeter

Fantastic pizza and prices!

Popped another Fireaway cherry ? this time in Exeter. Nipped in here on a Monday night while staying in the Holiday Inn nearby.

£11.99 for a mighty fine fresh pizza. Well worth the three minute walk out as opposed to paying £15 for a frozen pizza at the Holiday Inn Express!

The two guys behind the counter were very welcoming and took my order swiftly while partying along to what I presume was their favourite music. The music was not my cup of tea, but I love to see people enjoying their work. ?

I had the Veggie Supreme but subbed the green olives for jalapeños. I’ve had the Veggie Supreme each time I’ve had Fireaway pizza and it’s blooming tasty! The standard version is tomato base with Mozerella, onions, peppers, sweetcorn, mushroom and green olives. Served with a garlic and herb dip.

I waited about 10 minutes roughly which was basically just the time it took to put the toppings on the base and cook it in the oven.

Top tip would probably be to call ahead and order if you’re too busy to wait ten minutes!

Schoolboy error I forgot to take a picture to prove how good it looked so instead I’ve had to attach a picture of the empty box and you can use your imagine. Apologies … not helpful!

I discovered Fireaway about a year ago. Sadly there’s not yet one close to my home in Manchester although I could take a drive out to a nearby village if the cravings got too bad! Ha. For me, Fireaway is much better value and taste than their main competitor. ??

I’ll definitely be back. ??
