| Went to this pub today for food with some friends. It has definately gone down hill. The food was way over-priced. My Chilli looked like it had been reheated a few times and the portion was really small. When I asked at the till if there would be any discount on it as it wasn't worth it, the guy was defensive, rude and arrogant. Won't be going back to the grove. Hopfully coastal errosion will wash it away! Yeodave - 16 Nov 2008 22:14 |
| Captaineric sums it up when he says the Grove is off the kids drinking circuit. I use this pub when in Exmouth for precisely that reason. In my opinion, not one of Young's greatest but it's the best pub in Exmouth. I'll give it 7/10. Paris_Hilton - 22 Aug 2008 14:12 |
| Visited last week-end and will not bother again. Nice looking pub but with poor service and that speaks volumes. chimp - 16 Jun 2008 17:46 |
| When Youngs took over, the pub took a sad nose dive. The beer selection was lost and then the live music on Friday nights was ended. So it quickly lived up to its nick name as The Grave. Off the kids drinking circuit, so needs something to attract passing trade. They decided on food. But have to say it is a lottery as to what you get. Visited on Nov. 5th last year. Two meals were good, two sent back. One for being undercooked and the other for being stale. Last weeks lasagne maybe. Think the problem is staff. The manager seems O.K. but sometimes wonder about the catering staffs grasp of English. Had to repeat the order about three times before they understood. Beer has got better recently and the Quiz nights are well worth visiting for. So to sum up. Good in parts. Bring back the live music. Hire a few decent workers that remember to clear the tables, and get in a few decent guest beers. All is not lost yet. captaineric - 7 Apr 2008 00:18 |
| Good atmosphere, great beer and friendly bar staff. Avoid for their roast sunday lunch, you will find better in a motorway service station. The potatoes are more deep fried than roasted - inevitably uncooked in the middle whereas the other vegetables are overcooked and soggy. The beef is rubbery and fatty, almost inedible. Thankfully though the portions are best described as minimalist. If you are looking for food stick to a sandwich or perhaps a steak, anything not too difficult to get wrong, perhaps it's better to eat there when you are not hungry. Shame really from Youngs, normally noted for their high standards which makes it all the more surprising. viewfair - 30 Dec 2007 14:20 |
