The Salutation Inn

We have been to the restaurant of the Salutation Inn twice before and loved its friendly service, tasty food, and great wine selection both times. This visit was celebrating my graduation and it was made even more amazing than the two times before not only by the continued great food and wine but also by the above and beyond service. After I left my handbag in a taxi the staff worked tirelessly to get in contact with the taxi company and organise my bag being brought back to the restaurant before the dinner was over so I could truly enjoy my dining experience. The wine sommelier was very knowledgable and charming. We love this restaurant so much and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks for getting my bag back, you have made my day!! 😄😄

This is such an amazing hotel, we love it and stay regularly. It's always spotless, comfortable and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished. It's ideally situated in Topsham. We have been using the hotel for years as a couple, as a family and sometimes I have stayed here on my own and felt perfectly comfortable and safe. We highly recommend a stay here..

We have family in Topsham and have often thought how nice the hotel looks - it's an exceptionally interesting building, both inside and out. This time we needed somewhere to stay - the Salutation could not have been better. The rooms were excellent, spacious, very clean, modern, with extremely comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The price was fair. And there is a car park. All in all the best hotel experience we have had for as long as we can remember. Thank you!

Our 4-night stay here was wonderful. Friendly, helpful staff; very spacious and comfortable room. We both slept well on the excellent bed with fluffy pillows, and appreciated the daily cleaning service. We did not eat in the restaurant - as we are not fancy diners - but you can easily find coffee, pastries, and other meal options in town. We really enjoyed our stay here, and exploring nearby attractions in Devon.

Amazing food and a little gem in Topsham. We were recommended to this restaurant by word of mouth and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, friendly and informative. The food was exquisite filling full of flavour wonderfully presented and the staff were able to assist and advise on the menu items. Thank you to Georgia and the team as well as the kitchen brigade who all looked after us so well. We will be back again soon to sample the ever changing menu.

Invited to dinner by friends on Wednesday 26 March. We each had different courses and each dish was exquisite. We much prefer a smaller menu with attention to each dish carefully prepared than an huge menu with interchangeable food cooked with less care so this was perfect for us. Hugely talented and innovative chef. Very good wine by the glass. Lovely atmosphere and impeccable service by Jack we think his name is ? We will definitely eat here again and again.

Having visited the restaurant many times since its opening, I would describe the early days as a dining experience, up there with some Michelin stared places that I have visited.|Recent visits have left me feeling that it no longer feels like an experience, instead a restaurant serving good food. |Dinner was extremely rushed, no rest between courses, even the topping up of the water and wine happening, at what felt like after every sip, making me think was to hurry us out the door and not what’s expected when paying a premium,|Back in the early days at the Salutation, guests were invited into the lounge to have a drink, read menus and be served canapés. coffee and petit fours were served after dinner (included in the price of the set menus) these days it’s straight to the table and the rush to get you back out the door begins.|The starter of scallops and octopus was amazing, and the beef main course (although on the small side) was also very good. I miss the option of the 5 or 7 course tasting menus, they used to offer, instead they do have a tasting menu centred solely around sea food, but no option for customers to read this as it’s dependent on daily catches, even if this menu was printed daily so the customer can see what they may wish to spend £105 would be a better option. Overall the food is still very good, but the experience let down by the speed of the service and the attention to detail missing.

We booked in for the chefs taster menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff are polite and attentive, which helps set the tone of this restaurant. Each course was an experience in itself, and we found the whole experience lived up to its reputation as one of the best dining options in the Exeter area.

Newly opened and completely revamped. Chef Tom Williams formerly worked at Gidleigh Park a reniwned 2 Michelin star restaurant and the Abode another Michael Caines establishment before starting the Salutation Inn in Topsham England. The luncheon menu offers an affordable and elegant opportunity to sample some of the finest food in the region. We each had a different dish and all the food was outstanding. We would love to return and stay overnight and sample one of the tasting menus. 9.5 out of 10 Excellent
