Ripleys Restaurant — Restaurant in Mid Devon

Having been to Ripleys Restaurant (Padbrook Park Hotel, Cullompton, Devon) several times over the past year, I simply had to write a review. Outstanding is an understatement, I can’t tell you how superb the quality and taste of the food are. They consistently of the highest standard and I have never had reason to question this.

The Sunday Lunch Carvery is delectable, a selection of meat and vegetables cooked to perfection with all the trimmings you’d expect to get...but, the flavours are balanced perfectly. Standards are kept to the Highest standards. The staff are friendly, professional and approachable...nothing is too much for them! They take pride in their work and it shows.

The restaurant is immaculately clean and tidy as are the staff themselves. I have never seen or heard anything other than extreme politeness from all of their team.

The price is a reflection of the quality and standard which is well worth every penny! Even if I could cook to this standard (I’m a reasonable cook!), I would still come to Ripleys as the service is second to none. Having stayed and been to numerous restaurants and hotels all over the UK and the rest of the world - the standards here are on par to 5 star dining without the price tag. It is refreshing to witness a place going the extra mile with a strong team and customer focus.

You MUST book! If you turn up then they will try to accommodate you, but there will be a wait! Generally even a week before they’re booked up, so bear that in mind. It is incredibly popular, which is an indication of how superb this Carvery is.

Special Days (Father’s Day, Mother’s Day etc) book up quickly - so as soon as you know your numbers book to guarantee your spot.

Having been today for the umpteenth time, not only am I thinking of my next visit, but my tastebuds are still tingling from the experience.

If you love a Sunday Carvery then this the...

Don't bother!! Worst customer service I've ever seen!!! Walked into the reception and waited to be seen for a table of two, receptionist was seeing to a customer very slowly, didn't look up and acknowledge us no other staff insight but we could hear a couple of waitresses or cleaners chatting away about men around the corner, we even rang the ripleys restaurant number while waiting there and no one answered, unwelcoming, understaffed, staff need training...... A joke. Off to the bakehouse in town now which is lovely for lunch and treats us like valued...

My partner and I called in on our way home from camping in Cornwall. The restaurant is located inside a very dated hotel, which on arrival, looked closed. It's a typical 'pub grub' menu and great if you enjoy unhealthy food!! Don't expect any healthy meals on the menu with veg or salad. Food portion sizes are large, but at £18.95 for a burger, I'd have expected better quality. We were the only people in the restaurant and there were only a couple of cars in the carpark (this is a...
