  “Recently stopped at The Agricultural Inn for an evening meal ahead of a busy week in and around Exeter and Bath. The lamb was amazing and the food highlight of the entire trip. An exciting new menu, lovely atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend seeking this gem out.”

  “Been coming to the agi for years and always loved it. The food is made with local ingredients and always tastes delicious with the menu changing with the season. Can’t fault the service either, you can tell that all the front of house members get along and work well together. Highly recommend coming here.”

  “A 9hr visit to A&E meant we happened to stumble across this amazing place when the hunger, pain and the call of a decent meal has us driving towards the unknown! What a find... the food was delicious and all the people working there were so lovely and kind and accommodating... honestly, one of the nicest places I've been to! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Agricultural Inn for any celebration big or small, or simply just because you deserve to treat yourself to a really good meal every now and then!”

  “I’ve visited several times on a Sunday for the trio of meats, and on previous occasions the food has been exceptional. It has always exceeded my expectations and, although quite pricey, has felt worth the money as an occasional treat. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a real disappointment. Our roast arrived within five minutes of ordering, which wasn’t a problem in itself, but the food was cold. The Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and stone cold (as shown in the photo), there was no swede despite it being included on previous visits, and our stuffing was forgotten altogether. Overall, the meal wasn’t enjoyable. I also ordered two glasses of wine with lemonade, but the lemonade was never brought over. Although the Secret Garden is a lovely setting, there rarely seems to be any staff around to assist. When we went inside to pay, I mentioned that I hadn’t received the lemonade top-up (£3). The waitress queried it with a colleague, whose response was simply, “You could have said.” I then asked for the service charge to be removed because the service wasn’t up to the expected standard, and the atmosphere immediately became uncomfortable. I had intended to mention the issues with the roast as well, but after feeling dismissed over the first issue, I no longer felt comfortable raising any further concerns. It’s such a shame because we’ve always enjoyed visiting before, but this experience fell well below the standard we’ve previously received, especially given the prices charged.”

  “Wonderful country pub! The food is delicious, my favourite is the 5 spiced duck. The bartenders special cocktails are always great and I love sitting in the courtyard when it’s warm enough. The service has always been brilliant and the owners are lovely people. Highly recommend! I’m my opinion it’s the best pub in the Exeter area.”

  “Had a great Sunday lunch here. The setting is lovely and the pub is very aesthetically pleasing with it's authentic traditional features. My partner and I had the 'trio of meats' Sunday roast, which didn't disappoint at all and was very substantial. The quality of the food was instantly apparent, cooked wonderfully and couldn't be faulted. My partner particularly liked the fried pickles, which were the best I've tasted anywhere (the accompanying dip elevated them to new heights!). The service was great, making the whole meal a truly enjoyable event. 5/5”

Next time we are this way we will be back. Thanks 🙏”
