Wear Park - Exeter

Whoops! Mashed the phone screen and unintentionally sent a 3-star rating. Upping to 4 in recognition of the hard work of the staff, who are all making the best of a difficult situation in their efforts to provide a comfortable and safe space for people to meet and enjoy food drink. We received service with a smile and enjoyed the Salcombe IPA! It was a damp and dreary evening and we felt the cold a bit, seated at the edge of the marquee. Bring on some warmer weather!

Lovely food, and great service. Due to wooden flooring the restaurant is very noisy so extremely difficult for people with hearing issues. Both waitresses knew not to lean over customers when serving food but the male waiter did not.

Heard good things about afternoon tea, so booked for Christmas Eve with my family for my birthday, my wife had emailed ahead and said that we booked afternoon tea for 2, but would be bringing children, one which would be eating off the children’s menu. When we arrived the table was set for 2 even though they replied to the email. We had to ask for a children’s menu. Before we ordered we asked what the sandwiches were on the afternoon tea, lady was very unhelpful and didn’t really know what we could change one of the sandwiches we didn’t like too, then when it come out it wasn’t even the sandwiches she said it was! We had to ask for our tea to go with our afternoon tea!! We had 2 other drinks when arrived and wasn’t once asked if we wanted another drink. The whole service wasn’t good at all, upon telling the lady about our experience, she just said I’ll pass that on, no apology. I wouldn’t recommend any one to go here if they wanted good customer service and to enjoy their birthday lunch.

I just returned from a delightful experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was wonderful, all at a great value. It's a perfect choice for a special occasion, embodying a classic dining experience with attentive service from a highly professional staff. The dishes were beautifully presented and freshly prepared by chefs who clearly take pride in their work. Well done!

We opted for the Fizz Afternoon Tea for two, priced at £32, which included a choice of either Prosecco or Gin and Tonic. Each tier of the stand was filled with delightful treats, starting with tasty sandwiches, followed by scones served with cream and jam (please, this order is important in Devon!), and finishing with a selection of cakes. To top it all off, we were offered a choice of tea or coffee, perfect for rounding off our indulgent afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised by how full I felt by the end! We would wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Wear Park Restaurant and definitely plan to return in the future. A big thank you to the wonderful staff!
