Myself and a group of eight friends went here for lunch a couple of weeks ago, and what a great choice it was. The location on the Exeter Canal is fabulous, the welcome warm and the food was excellent. Couple that with the attentive and happy staff plus gluten free beer just made our visit perfect.

Nice spot on the canal for stopping on your cycle ride. Very pretty, quiet on this occasion but can be very busy in the peak times.
