Went for Sunday roast. Limited menu: beef or lamb, chicken and vegetarian option. I had to have the chicken as they couldn’t do the other meat well done, my friend had the beef. Very rare and looked very fatty and unpleasant. Good portion but £45 for just that and two drinks. Some muddle about what was vegan on the dessert menu so we didn’t bother. Will stick to other nearby option which has all you can eat carvery with far more choice. Disappointing but have had good lunches there in the past.

Would definitely never return. Arrived on a wet and windy evening twelve minutes later than the time we had booked. Greeted with the comment, well you are late in arriving. Please order quickly as I have another party due. When we entered the pub it was empty with nobody there, the “party” due to follow us consisted of just three people. Chicken was appetising spoilt by French fries very definitely overcooked.

Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere. We visited on a Wednesday and took advantage of their supper club. £19 for two courses and £10 off a bottle of wine. Delicious food. Fabulous service. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit of you are in the area.

Whilst on holiday my wife & I visited The Exeter Inn on two occasions to dine. Bampton has a limited number of places to eat without travelling some distance so we found The Exeter Inn nice and handy with the bonus that they serve food on six evenings a week. The food served was excellent, full of flavour, served quickly and with a smile. Jonathan was a great host and we thought to whole experience was top class and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for good food in a public house/hotel with a great atmosphere and at a reasonable price.
