The Exeter Arms in Easton on the Hill is, in my opinion, one of the finest pubs in the area. Living local, i have been watching the development of the pub for some time and was completley lost for words at the level of service and quality of food when me and my wife first visted.

As soon I walked through the door the staff welcomed us, even though it was a busy saturday night. We had a drink in the bar before being taken to the table and the place had such a buzz it was incredible! Sitting by the log buring fire we watched everyone around us, the other customers were happy and the staff where always smiling.

The food was exceptional, i had the duck and my wife had the belly pork and the two dishes looked and tasted beautiful! I had a few pints of the Ufford Ale which i found out they brew in a small village called Ufford and it was one of the best pints i have had! The wine was just at the right temprature and we had A vast amount of wines to choose from! A waiter even had the experience to offer advice on a nice wine that would compliment the food.

We left that evening very happy and will be visiting the Exeter arms next weekend if we can get in!

My partner and I have just been for lunch at the Exeter Arms with our inlaws. We too had monitored the progress of the renovations and were keen to see the outcome.

The waiting staff were excellent and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The food that we had ranged from soup of the day, burgers, sheperds pie and a sandwich and they were all excellent. Very good value for money also.

We shall be returning for lunch this weekend with frineds and would highly recommend that you give this place a try..!

a pleasure food excellent service outstanding bar nice experience how it should be done will take friends

We visited the newly refurbished Exeter Arms recently. We had followed the progress of the renovations whilst driving past to Northampton regularly over the previous year and were keen to see what had been done inside.

We visited on a Tuesday at lunchtime and were immediately impressed by the warm welcome we received from the staff. The place has been beautifully restored, the menu is extensive with something for all tastes, and the service efficient and speedy.

The new toilets are very nice, spotlessly clean with all sorts of nice little extras.

My husband and I recommend a visit to The Exeter Arms.

food is both excellent in quality and presentation, staff also polite and attentive even when busy. enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and would defintely be dinning there again and recomending to all my friends. big thumbs up!

Well, I can't fault The Exeter Arms, the food was superb, the building has been referbished very well, the staff were great. In my opinion one of the best resturants in the area.

When my girlfriend and I visited they were busy, however nothing was too much trouble, we were happy to wait for a table because we had heard such good reports and were pleased we did, the portions were perfect, well cooked and the presentation was fantastic, so much so we've booked for Christmas.

Well done and thanks to everyone there.

Recent visit with my 3 small children for Sunday lunch-just couldn't be bothered to cook! Staff very welcoming, our waitress was very patient with my boys. Beef perfectly cooked, accompanied by roast potatoes, mash, seasonal veg, "proper" gravy and homemade Yorkshire pudding. Liked the atmosphere, and seemed to have the balance between pub/restaurant just right.
I enjoyed it so much that I have booked my staff Christmas party here!

me a my wife ate here on sunday lunch ithought it was very resonable in price and thought the roast beef was the best i have ever tryed before well worth a visit and will be back to try the local cuisine

Over priced `pub grub' running off the reputation of the owners `local' reputation! Basically taking advantage of an affluent village & a lovely old pub that's been empty for a few years. we went for a good friends 50th and it was disgracefull, i am a professional chef in the hospitality trade, (and also a local) so I know what I'm talking about. PS IHAVE NO CATAGORY FOR ATMOSPHERE, I had to push a button!!!!

We had lunch in the newly revamped Exeter in Easton today. Verdict:
Lovely restoration job, nice wood-burner in bar, great eating areas & menus. Food was patchy, however. My main (duck, £15) was tiny with one potato and a small dollup of spinach plus absence of some of the flavours advertised on the menu. Victoria's lamb (£16.50, and ordered pink) was well done on the outside and raw inside. It went back and came out nuked. They didn't charge us for it in the end. However, desserts (bread 'n' butter pud, and cheesecake) were sublime and well worth £5.75 each. Service was slow despite it being quiet and there was no offer of bread &oils to break the waiting. Water ordered to come with food arrived after we'd finished. Overall, a bit disappointing, but should be good once they get into gear. The Collyweston Slater up the road needs to up its game big time!

First dish (main course) was crab risotto; served using long grain rice was stodgy and simply a lump in a dish, seemed to be about one teaspoonful of crab meat.

Second dish was chicken and bacon on rosti potato; chicken was dry, overcooked, bacon was singed.

Wait staff were pleasant but my comments about the food received no response from the kitchen. Coffee arrived, after asking twice, with dried spill marks down the cup.

Overall very poor value. No chance of us returning.

Service was very polite, food was prompt and of a high standard with some nice presentational extras, nice and clean decoration and setting to relax.
