Jack in the Green Inn

Went for a work Christmas lunch and cannot recommend highly enough. Setting, staff and service were excellent and the food was incredible. All courses came out hot for everyone at the same time and not a single plate was not enjoyed and positively commented on. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute and cannot wait to return

I have been meaning to write this review for a while! The experience we had at The Jack in the Green was amazing. The staff were so attentive, so kind & thoughtful. The food was absolutely delicious & beautifully presented. And some additional kind touches made celebrating our wedding anniversary special despite having a family tragedy to deal with. Thank you to all the staff on June the 3rd for making it such a lovely evening.

Another delicious meal had tonight at Jack in the Green venison cottage pie so tasty lovely creamy soft mash with fruity red cabbage then finished with passion fruit mousse with orange sorbet so light and refreshing others had the beef burger and crispy chicken burger both lip smacking delicious served homemade crispy chips crème brûlée with gingerbread and chocolate ganache with cherry sorbet all thoroughly enjoyed by all Service was exceptional great value for money so glad our son brought a house nearby well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed

I cannot recommend this place enough! The food was absolute perfection, the atmosphere was cosy, the staff were friendly and welcoming... All of which made for a lovely experience. We’re looking forward to coming back when we’re next in the area. Outstanding!

Four of us came to your restaurant on Saturday night we were booked in for 7:30pm. I was not happy with the service, we had to wait an hour for the food to come out. When the food did come it was horrendous, there was only 1 bowl of vegetables between us 4, it was also all rock hard. There also was not much of a selection on the menu available. For the money we paid it was definitely not worth it and would not recommend for anyone to come.

A gem of a place. Normally, while on vacation, I never return two nights in a row as I like trying different restaurants, but the service staff are so good and friendly in addition to excellent food. Slow roasted pork was the best I haver had with perfectly prepared seasonal vegetables and new potatoes. The second night, the sea bream in a cream sauce with capers was very tasty. The carrot and coriander soup was delicious.

We were a very large group and a little noisy, so having the room to ourselves was great. I've recently become 70. My daughter Shelley Boult will be 50 in August, so we thought it a great family get-together. It didn't matter what any of our needs were. Your wonderful staff accommodated us. It was wonderful. Thank you so much

Food was fantastic as it always has been. Unfortunately the service was terrible. Having to wait twenty minutes for ones first drinks, 2 hrs for the main course is not acceptable. I think the main waitress was off putting with her over the top smiles and politeness that was so obvious. It was a Monday evening and it wasn't busy either

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.

I have been there twice, amazing Green Thai Chicken Curry might I add. You must go there.

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
