First time at the Ivy Exeter for us. It won't be our last. From start to finish our dining experience for absolutely first class. The food was delicious. The service exemplary. Need to give a mention to Bogdan who took care of us. He was polite, funny and very professional. He's an absolute credit to himself and to the Ivy and absolutely went above and beyond to make our evening very special. Thank you

Went for a meal with a friend last night. Was a lovely room we were in. Service was just right, not in your face but when you wanted something they were there! The choice on the menu was wide, no trouble picking , tempted with several options. When the food came it was absolutely lovely, portion size good and looked and tasted delicious. The dessert was equally perfect! Well done to The Blue Ball, we will be back 😊

You need to book in advance. Very welcoming pub with an extensive menu and daily specials. We had steak and ale pie which was cooked to order and the seafood platter for one. Husband couldn’t eat all the plentiful platter so they gave him the rest to take home. All washed down with Mena Dhu stout. would highly recommend
