Welcome to the Mill on the Exe, a spectacular pub in a beautiful location.

The Mill on the Exe is a great place for drinking, eating, meeting and partying. The pubs layout is flexible and can be cosy and casual or spacious and corporate.

    We had the carvery which was ok, but the plates were cold. Our table was next to the bar so people were walking by all the time.

    The food was delicious. The staff were mainly great although we did hear a comment about they didn’t book so can’t have a table, but we did book and Someone had been sat on our table. There was also a lady wandering about with a dog which I didn’t really think was appropriate around tables of people eating.

    We live in Callington, our friends live in Weston Super Mare, we try to meet up regularly and Mill on the Exe is our perfect meeting place, as its middle distance for us all. More often than not, we have a fantastic carvery and a few drinks, overlooking the river, ambiance is soothing. Mick K

    We hadn't been to the Mill on the Exe for some considerable time, but as soon as we arrived, we were shown to our pre booked table which was pleasantly situated with a nice view outside. Our server was very professional and immediately organised some pre dinner drinks to our table whilst we studied the menu. There was no pressure to order instantly and as we asked a few questions about the menu, she was more than happy to make enquiries with her colleagues and answered them to our complete satisfaction! The food arrived sooner than we had anticipated, but was all freshly cooked and was very tasty indeed. We would thoroughly recommend The Mill On The Exe to anyone wishing to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, quality food at a reasonable price. Many thanks for looking after us so well.

    We booked for evening meal after citizenship ceremony. The fish was not cooked through. The service was less than expected. The fact that we had the main menue taken off the bill did not make up for a disappointing evening-!!

    We had an excellent Sunday lunch. The food was very good. Special mention for the waitress who was excellent and the chef carving the carvery was fantastic, he was so enthusiastic and welcoming.
