Jack in the Green Inn

Burger Wednesday is quite possibly my new favourite day 🥳. The food was incredible, cooked fresh to order. The staff are super friendly & attentive. It was quite busy while we were there and without skipping a beat, we were presented with a sample of their tomato and red pepper soup in an espresso cup. CUTE!! A very nice gesture but honestly, when you get presented with a beautifully cooked main meal, the small wait was totally worth it anyway. Also, the dessert menu… I wish I could have had one of everything but the strawberry mouse cake was dreamy 😍. 100% recommend.

Jack in the Green never disappoints, and this birthday lunch was no exception! I started with their homemade black pudding, served with crispy bacon and a perfectly poached duck egg - such a hearty and satisfying dish. The portion was generous, and at £8.50, it felt like great value. I followed it up with a comforting shepherd’s pie, which was just as delicious and filling. A lovely spot for a hearty meal with fantastic flavours!

Faultless food and thoughtful gestures to make it a really lovely meal out for one this evening. This food is freshly cooked using quality ingredients. I wish I lived a little closer to visit again.

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.

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!

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.

I visited with work colleagues during the week, the food and service were great so I brought my family back to eat for Sunday lunch and again it didn't disappoint. On both occasions the food has been tasty, appealing and hit the mark. The service has been superb with a warm and genuine approach from everyone I came into contact with and gave me the impression that I was welcome and they really wanted us to have an enjoyable visit. Will definitely return in the future.

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

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
