Treated by my wife for a birthday lunch this week. Ate in the restaurant mid week. As good a meal as we have had anywhere. Both Venison and duck as mains were delicious. Reasonably priced given the high standard. . £120 for 2 of us with 3 courses including drinks. Service was very good and attentive with atmosphere perfect for a special occasion. We will be back.

Had lunch today with two friends. Chose from the Pub Classics menu, my venison cottage pie was delicious and piping hot, nice selection of vegetables too. My friends both enjoyed their meals too. Desserts were also lovely, and service was speedy and polite throughout. Prices a tad on the high side perhaps, but that's life these days, and for a treat it was spot-on.

Popped in on the off chance of getting a table. The staff were excellent and found one in the front room. Not overly hungry but fancied something light with a pint. The Dart's Farm burger and a pint of draft Guinness certainly did the job.

What a beautiful place, the food was delicious, the place was spotless and the staff are brilliant. Watching the waitress talk the kid’s at the next table was so lovely. 10/10 recommend

We haven't been to Jack in the Green for quite some time, but we were tempted back by the pub classics menu. The food proved to be excellent value given the quality of ingredients and flavour. The service was very good and the atmosphere in keeping with the experience you'd expect. Overall, we were very impressed and will be returning soon.

Four of us went for dinner last night. I can honestly say it was the best meal I have eaten in a very long time. The staff were very attentive and professional offering us homemade bread appetisers and even homemade treats with our coffee. Will most certainly be returning

Absolutely phenomenal food and service. We were so impressed by everything, even down to the playlist! If you're looking for EXCEPTIONALLY high quality food at reasonable prices, this is the place to go.

Really lovely wedding anniversary lunch with my husband today at Jack in the Green - all of the staff were friendly & efficient and the food was amazing. We chose off the Christmas lunch menu but had a choice of both menus. Really lovely touch with an anniversary decorated plate of mince pies & fudge at the end of the meal. We will definitely be back

Devon is not on top of its yelp game, so I'm out to review all the places I've been to help it out. I've been to Jack twice now, both times on business dinners. First off, you need to call and book a table in advance. You arrive close to your time of booking, but don't plan to eat at that time. You take a seat in the social waiting lounge. A server will bring you menus and get you a local beer while you look over the menu. When you're ready to order, you do so from the waiting area. Once your order is stated by the kitchen, you get a table. This is such a great system for socializing. It's much nicer to sit on a comfy chair in a group versus being stuck at a dinner table. The food is quite delicious, but the menu is very limited. I've had the grilled goat cheese*, a roasted chicken dish, the seasonal vegetable side, and the posh prawn cocktail. All was delicious, but on the last visit I really wanted something light and lean, but they don't have that. I was thinking a pretty simple salad with some grilled chicken. Not an option here. It's a gastropub and they only do that style of food. *If you order the grilled goat cheese as a main you will get 2x the goat cheese and some potatoes. That isn't clear on the menu, but that's what happens. Still, the food they turn out is mostly local and they donate a portion of certain food (I think the fish and chips) to a local charity. It's definitely a great option in the Exeter area. I must leave you with one final note. Although I'm not a fan of sweets, Most of my colleagues and customers order their sticky toffee pudding. It is apparently one of the better ones in the area.

This place was just a couple of miles away from my office - and it was nice to come here for a treat on a lunchtime! THe lunch menu is very good - the home-made soups and breads are great. The food is very good quality - I didn't get to another pub in the vicinity that was anywhere near as good in terms of quality. It's well worth the effort to come out here if you're Exeter based.

For many years we have visited and enjoyed the JITG. Recently, we had a brilliant meeting over a delicious meal. I do hope they continue to pride themselves on locally sourced produce. Staff - friendly Value - fine Location - You have to drive Food - mostly brilliant I would take the family to Honiton and round up the trip with lunch at JITG.

I went here with some friends from work and can honestly say the food and atmosphere was superb. We had a large party but they were able to cater for us all on one very long large table in our own room. The inside is decorated to a high standard, with lots of interesting features. Although the meals did feel a little pricey when we first looked at the menu, when we received the food we knew why the price was justified. I felt that the standard of food was much better than any pub locally and it was all locally produced.

Great Service. Great food and caters for business needs as well .. have been eating here for more years than i can remember and the restaurant has gone from strength to strength some may say that the meals are a little pricy my view is that you get what you pay for and at the Jack I always walk away satisfied.

Lovely food both traditional pub and higher quality. Excellent service. Well worth a visit if you are looking for a meal for a special occasion

It's a pub that thinks a lot of itself, rather more than is justified. There was nothing much wrong with the food - although one piece of meat seemed to have fallen into a salt pot - but nothing outstanding about most of it either. When the bely pork starter is the best part of the meal the owner needs to rethink the menu. French sounding young man didn't know what a beer shandy was or how to produce one once it was explained to him. There was then far too long a wait to take an order, to the point where if we hadn't booked we'd have left. There are better places around but I want to be able to get inside the best one.

If you are looking for fresh food sourced locally then this is the place. It decor is beautiful and the staff friendly. It has a superb wine list and an amazing menu. I have never been disappointed by any dish placed before me. Highly recommended!

Lovely atomosphere in this pub situated just outside of Exeter. (10mins at most) There is a large car park at the rear so no need to drive around searching for parking. The food is great! They have a choice of a restaurant menu and a pub menu and you can mix the two. You also have the option of eating a totally Devon menu (shown on menu in bold) for a set price which uses produce from the local area.

This has to be our favourite trip out to dine..Easy reach of our South Devon home, can always find an excuse to go there.. Just had a small Sunday lunch -do not normally go on Sundays as it must be busy, but found the food just as amazing as the other evening visits Keep it up !!! Love it !

Traditional decor but consistent, high quality award winning restaurant food. About 5 miles out of Exeter to the east of the city and close to Exeter airport. Good friendly owners who know how to run a quality establishment. Highly Recommended

This gastro pub is warm welcoming and provides great food. Went there recently and the staff bent over backwards to make the night enjoyable for us. The food was amzing and although more than the average restaurant well worth the extra pennies. The decor of the pub is very homely and makes you feel like your out in the country. Would definitely reccommend
