Although local we have not been to the Stowey Arms for some time., but as it was not far away thought it nice to revisit. The past visits have always been good, but this time we were very disappointed. The meals appeared to be micro waved in most cases, and were probably bought in with a price which may appear... More

The pub offers both English and italian food. The Chef, Antonio is brilliant and his food is far better than the Italian restaurants in Exeter itself. I can highly reccomend the pizza's which Antonio impressively spins on his hands. We even asked for a vegetarian pasta dish one day and although there was nothing on the menu Antonio created for...

What a great find! We stayed in nearby cofton and went in search of a good pub dinner and stumbled upon this one. Very accommodating to our party who arrived for dinner before the kitchen had opened. Antonio the chef has a great personality and is clearly passionate about his food. He even threw in a pizza making lesson for... More

I booked a Sunday lunch here to day for my elderly parents who had just returned from along trip to a funeral. Suffice to say they wished they were still there. The Sunday roast was truly awful.

This pub is 3 weeks into new management and we have to say we were highly impressed. Antonio and Nicky are extremely welcoming, friendly and warm people. They are very hot on customer service and are working hard to build a good reputation from the outset. The food was superb and good value. I had Lamb Shank, one of my... More

We stayed here for one night on last August. the staff was amazing, the room was little but comfy. Just one drawback, the shower was too low pressure. Wi-fi was good. Stowey Arms is just outside Exeter.

Just spent a wonderfull week in devon and used the stowey arms as our base, excellent clean, spacious room, very comfy beds and we liked that we could book room only and then add breakfast as an when we wanted it, ate in the dining room a couple of times and very good pub fayre, the fish & chips were...
