Spoken

"Really nice, lovely place with friendly, helpful staff. The place looks great and it was a pleasant surprise to find a place like this in Exmouth… The food was good and decent but I think, with little extra attention, it could be better. We ordered three dishes. The risotto was lovely but the artichoke and mushrooms clearly came from a jar… with fresh ingredients it would have been so much better. The peppers stuffed with couscous: again, amazing flavours, all spot on… but the couscous was dry. Finally, the shell-on large prawns: cooked to perfection, not over cooked. My only issue with it (but this is something very personal and subjective) was the sauce - it had such a strong flavour (chilli) when the prawns have such a delicate one. It’s like when people put ketchup on food (sorry for the comparison), everything tastes of ketchup… Prices: reasonable. Someone in the comments complained about paying £8.50 for three large prawns. Would you really want to eat in a place where they cost, I don’t know, £1.50 each?? You get what you pay for, no exceptions. It feels like 5 stars is a bit too much but as there is no 4.5 we thought rounding it up is fairer than rounding it down. We will absolutely be back and this place is so much worth of a visit!"

"Love it! Just had everything on the menu! Edit: just been back after a year. Still fantastic. Had the open sandwiches (meat and vegan) which were sensational. The quality of ingredients, the variety of salads, the crispness of the sweet potato fries."

"When we went to order food and drinks, the server refused to process our 2 for 1 cocktails saying that deal was no longer available. All branding remained the same and included the 2 for 1 deal and we went on a Sunday where the 2 for 1 deal applied all day. It was just poor service and the server just argued with us instead of acknowledging their misrepresentation."

"We went to Spoken as part of a works gathering and weren't disappointed. The tapas food was lovely and plentiful. Fantastic range of drinks and the staff were great offering choices and advice. The outside area is fantastic in nice weather and again the staff are very attentive. Will absolutely be calling in again."

"Lovely food and very friendly staff. Pricey but very worth the money in my opinion. We had 6 dishes between 2, cocktails and desert. Left the restaurant very full and happy."
