Brewers Fayre Exeter (M5 J29)

Popped in fir dinner. Staff were coping well despite reduced stock and a week long (so far) Internet outage.

We have always loved Brewers Fayre and have visited many around the country over the years. However, this time when we walked in, we were informed that many items on the menu were unavailable. We were given a sheet of paper listing all of the unavailable items, and by that time, we were beginning to wish we hadn’t come. Since we were staying in the Premier Inn next door, we decided to give it a go anyway. The food we had was not great, but what added to the bad experience was that a female staff member started vacuuming while we were still eating. We reported this to the reception.

Nice food. Was busy and payment system wasn't working. Tables were very sticky.

Booked breakfast whilst on route to Salcombe. Card reader not working which was not there fault. No orange juice, no black pudding as advertised and the breakfast was not really hot....sorry would not eat here again for breakfast.

Parking: Free parking if you register yr car

The business manager should question why these stars have fallen, it should not be so difficult to make the customer's heart, unfortunately, although the food is good, the service lowers it. I think everyone should look after their own business, otherwise there will be no business. - As someone who has eaten at least 16 times and as a hotel customer; The same scrambled flavour is not always the same, the breakfast pleasure cannot always be the same when the same ratio does not hold. Supply time cannot be the busiest time, closing the kitchen is disrespectful to the customer. Giving a corkscrew to your regular customer does not harm you because you know that customer and you should act accordingly! If you clean the carpets on the way to the toilet, you will notice a clear odour difference. - A woman working alone during peak working hours, which one of them can catch up, staff ratios and density ratio are inverse. -The kitchen is the best tasting place in Exeter at a reasonable price, this is obvious, but you are throwing your labour away. - It is possible for this restaurant to say that I was full for a reasonable price, you have to respect that.

Friendly staff, great value and good
