The Imperial - Exeter

This is now a Wetherspoons restaurant, The staff were ok, there was plenty of spare tables, the food was not good, the chips were Luke warm the chicken strips were ok, the chicken balls were awful, they were just mush inside and again Luke warm, the Lemonade was the weakest I've ever had. Will net visit again.

I call in here from time to time as it is handily near St Davids station. On a sunny day it is great to sit outside and enjoy the view. On our recent visits there was a lot of building work taking place at the Imperial, the orangery was all boarded off meaning there was only one bar in operation so slow service. On the most recent visit we had breakfast (freedom breakfast for me), the food was ok though I have had better here.

Heating on full bore doors open, sun shining not a cold day profit pouring out the door. Please tell Tim it's called profit.

We had a great breakfast last week but today was poor in comparison. Cold beans, cold bacon. Sent it back and slightly better Single coffee machine not working properly and dispensing awful drinks. Shocking in a place this big.

Really pleased with the speed of the service. The food and drinks were served within 6 minutes of ordering. The staff were cheerful and helpful. Nothing to complain about at all.
