"I recently hosted my husband's surprise 50th birthday party at City Gate in early July and I cannot praise the entire team, especially Jon, enough! From the moment I made the booking, Jon was always available and very enthusiastic about helping me plan the party exactly how I wanted. He assisted me in selecting the perfect room for the number of guests, showed me all the available food and drink options, and promptly answered any questions I had. On the night of the party, all the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They even wheeled a TV into the room so we could watch the Euros quarter-finals penalties before my husband arrived, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. Our guests complimented the lovely atmosphere, tasty food, and appreciated the ability to control the music volume and use our own music. We utilized The Gallery room, which was fantastic as it was warm and had doors that opened up to a patio area, allowing smokers and non-smokers to mingle together. I highly recommend Jon and City Gate for any party - they are excellent hosts, provide great food, and create a fabulous atmosphere. Thank you so much!"

Didn't eat this time but had a few drinks with friends in the courtyard and was very cosy with the heaters on

Amazing experience staying in Exeter and a wonderful surprise to find so many gluten free options. Incredible gluten free fish and chips

Steaks were grey and had obviously been sat uncovered in the fridge for ages. Screaming children running loops through the restaurant. Doubt I'll be going back

I had a fantastic Sunday dinner at this restaurant. I have been visiting Exeter for years and never thought to try this place before, but I will definitely be coming back. The restaurant has a beautiful bar area at the front, a conservatory with dining tables further back, and an extensive garden with various seating options.

What a delightful spot. Clearly liked by locals and a huge bonus for hotel guests. My fish and chips was top notch. Wine service (many by the glass choices) was excellent. A pretty, glassed-in conservatory as a dining room off the pub. Breakfast this morning was delicious. A real reason to choose this hotel for an Exeter stay. View menu

Booked sunday lunch for 2pm when we got there we were informed that you had run out of Pork and Caulflower cheese already! considering you offer lunch until 5pm I think that was a bit poor. Also asked for J20 which is a very popular drink only to be told you do not stock them, so then asked for a Rose Zinfadel, again told you dont stock this either. With Roast chicken i would have expected stuffing too!

I visit this restaurant regularly for work and often meet up with friends for drinks in the evenings. The food is a bit pricey but it's decent. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, they don't mind me staying for hours with my laptop. This is definitely one of the most attractive pubs in Exeter with a variety of seating options including cozy couches, dining tables, outdoor tables, and pub-style long tables. It's a versatile spot that works well for many occasions.

"Owner rude and arrogant! And you can’t trust them and they won’t make your order right by just saying too busy to make it right! I called in to make a booking but told no tables available but I could place an order for takeaway so I ordered two gluten free pizzas. I also asked what size are the gluten free pizza crust and was told 11”. I was told I would need to wait 1 hour 30 minutes and I agreed. I ordered the Gluten free 11 “ crust as advised for one Olive Tree and one Garlicky . When I arrived, I asked the person with the pizzas to confirm the gluten free pizzas. She looked a bit worried and said they were not gluten free. I asked the other girl if I would have to wait another 1.5 hrs and she said they would expedite my pizzas. The owner came over and said he had two vegan pizzas for 8:30 pm and I said that is not what I ordered. He said he was too busy to remake the pizzas. He said the girl that took the order said she didn’t remember gluten free was ordered. As a Celiac , those are the first words out of my mouth when I order any food and I also inquired the size of the gluten free crust and frequently they are pre-made and sealed and I was told they are 11”. He would not remake the pizzas as he said he has to trust his staff. So he implies the customer are lying and uses it as an excuse to not make it right. It doesn’t excuse not remaking the pizzas correctly as ordered gluten free as I was told a few minutes earlier. I assured him I ordered both pizzas gluten free and my wife came in and also confirmed as she heard me place the order on the phone. I realize this pizza must be well done and popular but not to remake the pizzas and imply me a liar and refusing to remake them is unprofessional. I find his behavior arrogant, rude and unprofessional and just because he went to Italy to learn how to make pizza doesn’t make him a good owner and manager. Hopefully, he won’t blow off this review but learn from it. Always make it right for your customers! And never insult your customers! It also suggest he doesn’t care about his customers because he is too busy. He walks away and just repeats he has to trust his employees. Poor excuse for not making the pizzas as ordered! Employees can make mistakes and as a Coeliac I will also double check as I did when I came to pick up the pizzas. I would advise Coeliacs to not try these pizzas as you can’t trust them to make them to your order. Peace be with you! Dietary restrictions You cannot trust this place to make your gluten free as ordered and they won’t remake it if they made it wrong and just say I have to trust my staff. Very Poor attitude from an owner and a bit arrogant! Customers don’t appear to be important and must be lying if they get an order wrong."
