The Press House — Restaurant in Exeter

Food was great, service was amazing. Tried to go about an hour after opening, but they were full and no seats were available, so decided to come back later. Ended up going back around 15mins before they stopped serving food, which meant they were running out of a lot of things, which is understandable. One of the dishes was sold out(which they notified us before we sat down), by the time we decided what we wanted, one of the dished we picked was also sold out.

I cannot recommend Press House enough, the...

I ordered the butternut squash and pesto on toast option which is a brunch item. I was given 5 dice sized pieces of squash on a piece of toast with a thin spread with pesto and whipped feta, I went home and made myself lunch afterwards. I don’t believe you can offer that as a brunch option when you can go to Sacred Grounds or Boston tea party and pay the same price for a filling and complete meal. I wouldn’t order food here again because of this. (Edit: I’ve just looked at other reviews and seen a picture of the same dish I’d ordered which is piled high with feta, pesto and squash, very different to...
