My family of 6 had a great evening at the Golden Pond Restaurant in Rockbeare. The service was great and the food was delicious, we ordered from the Infinity menu where you can eat as much as you like and everything was cooked just right. As the food was so nice I felt like I could really keep eating and was disappointed that I was full. The whole family was stuffed and happy.
No rubber rice like most of the restaurants in Exmouth serve, it is definitely worth revisiting.
The eating area was nice everything was quite clean, the ambiance of the room was a little dark in some areas but otherwise it was nice that it wasn't too bright.
I think some previous reviews have been a little over critical as the concrete peacocks looked great. But as they were concrete I could see how they would look rough in the colder months when the green moss settles on them, perhaps a glaze would help to keep them looking nice all year around.
The outside pond was huge and full of Coy Carp if anyone took the time to review them, the restaurant staff gave us some food to feed the fish and Wow that pond was definitely lively. The water was green as you would expect of a pond that size. A filter room to keep a pond of that size clean would have to be the size of a static caravan with several filtration systems, so the concept of filtering the pond water would simply not be viable. The fence around the pond although it was a good deterrent perhaps could use some improvement.
The carpark was huge and clean what more could you want.
The prices were normal for eating in at a restaurant slightly over the cost of the take out menu as you would expect. If you visit to eat in then maybe avoid the coke as the cost of this was almost the price of a pint which was £4 coke and £4.50 for a pint, so I don't see that the drinks are expensive either.
A Pub with a Pool Table combined with a Chinese Restaurant, it's a definite win if they can keep up the great service...

First time I’ve been to The Golden Pond but it won’t be the last. I’ve driven past it loads of times and to be honest it does look like it could do with lick of paint outside but seeing as I’m going inside to eat it’s not an issue. I only really mentioned it so it doesn’t put you off and you miss out on this hidden gem.
Very friendly staff. We had the buffet for £16.50, plus we went on a Eat Out to Help Out day getting a tenner off each of our meals. I think you normally serve yourself but during the pandemic they give you a menu to choose from and cook it fresh.
Every dish was spot on absolutely gorgeous, just typing this review is making me hungry 😋
It was a very busy and there was a little wait between courses but you’ll need that wait to let the starters go down and we had 2 lots of starters😋 But do not underestimate the main course. I was stuffed when I came out of there.
Would have been about £20 each person which is a great price for the amount and quality of food we had. But with Boris’s discount it was just over 40 quid for 4 people!!!! Will definitely be going back for more even...

After being tempted by a post online about the infinity buffet I decided to treat a close friend to dinner on Saturday night.. Luckily we both have a sense of humour & are still friends! After being shown to a dingy dining area with no ambience apart from some warbling background music, we tackled the menu.. Out of the 3 starters we had, Crispy Duck rolls, Sticky Spare Ribs & Spring Rolls.. The Duck was the most edible. The ribs were definitely more rib than meat & the spring rolls were surprisingly hot & kept getting hotter.. Maybe Microwaved? For mains we had Chinese Chicken Curry tasted speciously like one I’ve had at home , Hong Kong Pork battered in every way you can imagine, Crispy ( Tooth breaking), Singapore Noodles the best dish, but by this time the damage was done. For £45 I expected better food & even the candles to be lit.. As I said we could both laugh about it but left feeling disappointed & won’t be...
