The Globe

01 The Arrival

The Globe has that instantly appealing combination of traditional pub character and modern comfort. It feels cosy without being old-fashioned, with plenty of character in the building and a really welcoming atmosphere.

02 The Food

I went for the Devon fish and chips, while we shared scotch eggs and sourdough with whipped butter, finishing with a sticky toffee pudding. The fish was beautifully cooked and the batter was crisp without being too heavy. The sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending - warm, rich and extremely comforting.

03 The Experience

Friendly and polished service without feeling formal, with staff attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The Globe has a lovely old-pub feel, but the interior is comfortable and stylish enough for a proper meal.

04 Was It Worth It?

Good. It sits slightly above ordinary pub pricing, but the food and atmosphere justify it.

05 The Verdict

Pros: beautiful pub, excellent food, cosy atmosphere, good service. Cons: slightly pricier than a basic pub meal. Note: The Globe is in Topsham rather than Exeter city itself. A lovely choice for traditional British food with a more polished gastropub feel.
