This pub features a lovely atmosphere with a log fire and attentive table service, creating a warm and inviting setting. Its fabulous terrace offers a perfect spot for sunny days, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a gluten-free dining experience in a comfortable, welcoming environment.
We visited The Grove on two evenings and had a lovely time on both occasions. Many thanks must go to Angie, Sofie and particularly Toby behind the bar, who was a really good sport.
With regards to the food the Youngs beer battered fish and chips is truly excellent, and the gluten free option equally delicious. I only discovered that there was a GF option during our first visit, and hadn't found this on any of their web menus, something I know Angie will be looking into.
However my wife was slightly disappointed with the Devon crab and leek tart, on the new summer menu. She found that the tart's topping simply swamped the delicate flavour of the crab, and some of the samphire was a little 'woody'. I appreciate that the chef and team put a lot effort into their menus, and we hope that you'll find our comments constructive rather than simply negative.
We're already looking forward to our next visit to Exmouth, and The Grove will definitely be top of our list for dinner.
