The Clifton — Restaurant in Exeter

Great pub/cafe/bakery. This breakfast pie served with hash browns, fried egg and lovely fresh bread is a delight.

Visit 1:No pies on Sunday or Monday! Had a carvery on Sunday, this is the sole choice. Tasted great! Good quality crackling! Yum. Cauliflower cheese, tasted very good and not too soft. Vegetables were well cooked. Staff were pleasant. Good selection of beer and cider, all good!

Visit 2: Went for a ride on my motorcycle to church and met a mate afterwards. The Clifton had a good selection of alcohol free drinks, I went for the non-alcoholic Guinness which compared to the original is very good. Good atmosphere in the pub, groups of people meeting up.

Pool table is fun to use with mates.

Reasonable beer...
