I have one word to say about this pub. Carvery. It is renowned for it throughout the valley and is…read morea must visit. They do it every day and for a set price you have a choice of meat of vegetarian option. The selection of things to put on your plate is immense, and I can guarantee your plate won't be big enough to have it all. My grandma likes it as she can take as little as she wants, and not feel bad about leaving it! The atmosphere is lovely although it can get very busy. I would advise booking a table.

Devon is not on top of its yelp game, so I'm out to review all the places I've been to help it out…read more I've been to Jack twice now, both times on business dinners. First off, you need to call and book a table in advance. You arrive close to your time of booking, but don't plan to eat at that time. You take a seat in the social waiting lounge. A server will bring you menus and get you a local beer while you look over the menu. When you're ready to order, you do so from the waiting area. Once your order is stated by the kitchen, you get a table. This is such a great system for socializing. It's much nicer to sit on a comfy chair in a group versus being stuck at a dinner table. The food is quite delicious, but the menu is very limited. I've had the grilled goat cheese*, a roasted chicken dish, the seasonal vegetable side, and the posh prawn cocktail. All was delicious, but on the last visit I really wanted something light and lean, but they don't have that. I was thinking a pretty simple salad with some grilled chicken. Not an option here. It's a gastropub and they only do that style of food. *If you order the grilled goat cheese as a main you will get 2x the goat cheese and some potatoes. That isn't clear on the menu, but that's what happens. Still, the food they turn out is mostly local and they donate a portion of certain food (I think the fish and chips) to a local charity. It's definitely a great option in the Exeter area. I must leave you with one final note. Although I'm not a fan of sweets, Most of my colleagues and customers order their sticky toffee pudding. It is apparently one of the better ones in the area.

The local beer was good, there was no bloody TV and if there was music I can't recall it. Our dinner was delicious, I had the vegetarian bread pudding which was very unusual and got 10/10.

There was a big portion of well cooked vegetables, and the lamb leg was served sous vide and chargrilled. The beetroot was a nice surprise, well roasted. A delicious home made mint sauce sealed the deal for me. The starter was an usual choice for me, tataki sea bass which was a sashimi style thing. Very delicate and flavoured with coriander and sesame oil. Three courses was probably too much for me, but I tucked it all away regardless. It was £21.50 for three courses, which is a generous price for that amount of quality food. The pud was brownie with whipped cream, fruit and nuts and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I'm still stuffed full now three hours later. The village is very idyllic, reminded me of the place where the Vicar of Dibley was set. I'll go there again and again without doubt. I'd love to stay in one of the rooms too. 10/10.

Upon paying £6.29 for my carvery i was told that they were out of carrots and the selection of meats and vegetable were very limited. The food was luke warm and the chips were chewy and low quality.

There were kids screaming and running aro7nd throughout our time there, making the whole experience very unpleasent. When we left my father talked to the manager, who was very polite if a bit incompetent and he gave us a refund. Overall a very unsatisfying experience would definately not reccomend visiting.

The person at the till was very confusing and didn't explain to me how the soft drink system works when I asked. So when we finally got our food I received 4 servings eggs on toast. I obviously didn't order this so I told a member of staff my receipt and what happened and to this their response was, "this isn't a clothing store we can't take that back". I continued to make my case but they simply did not care and then said ,"just give it to someone else if you don't want it". To add insult to injury the food came out cold and the my friends where not 100% satisfied with their food either. This experience may not be fully representative of this establishment, but you may want to think twice if your looking for outstanding costumer service.
