What a gem👍. The pizzas are amazing. We only stoped as my wife is a vegetarian & gluten intolerant. So happy yo find this place. Four out of six would normally have meat pizzas but we were all super satisfied ❤️
We had the £10 fish and chips and it was absolutely amazing as always. I have a gluten intolerance and the batter on my fish is the best I have ever tasted. The alcohol free gin was very nice
Very good food and atmosphere, a bit overpriced but also a great location. Had quite a few vegetarian options, as well as gluten free buns and pizza bases - the gluten free pizza I had was decent quality.
Lovely place especially for people with gluten allergy and vegan dietary requirement. Food is delicious and the price is great. Also the venue is cosy. I recommend this wholeheartedly.
Had a lovely weekend stay here, bed really comfy and room nicely decorated. Loved being able to sit by the river with a drink and so nice to have vegan and gluten free options, could have a proper meal, even a dessert and full vegan breakfast! Staff really helpful as well
Delicious locally sourced vegan and gluten free food, the portions aren't huge but everything is very tasty. Delicious coffee, kombucha on tap and the best gluten free muffins I've ever had.
My favorite pub in Exeter- the vibes are always cozy (the fireplace is often lit in the winter), the staff is always so kind and helpful, and it is a fantastic place to have a meal or spend a rainy afternoon reading. The food is excellent- the chips are a favorite. The cocktails and drinks are delicious as well.
My friends and I had our Christmas Eve dinner here and it was a wonderful experience. They have plenty of non-gluten and vegetarian options so there was something for everyone. The food was amazing, the decor was so cozy and warm, and the staff was fantastic as always.
I can't say enough good things about City Gate. Thank you!
Phenomenal food. Stands up to the hype & exceeded my expectations. The people were delightful, and the food and drink pairings exquisite. Unusual food flavour blends and profiles that work incredibly well, beautifully cooked and presented. Delivered a dining experience worthy of every plaudit - and a gluten free dining experience that surpasses any other I have had.
My favourite local cafe! They have such fantastic vegan and vegetarian food, and good gluten-free options too! Friendly staff, great location and dog-friendly :)
Sometimes, you go to an establishment and everything is just so great that you want to be able to award more than five stars. The Cheeky Vegan is one of these places.
I have wanted to go here for a while now, since before even deciding to become vegan myself. Unfortunately, I hadn't realised previously that it had closed down. Lucky for me, The Cheeky Vegan opened under new ownership in March this year. Finally, at the weekend I had a chance to visit. It was well worth the wait.
Immediately, there is a lovely welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of outdoor seating to sit and enjoy the sunshine and the views of the cathedral green, I love to sit and eat al fresco so this was a huge tick in the first box. There is indoor seating as well, for those that would rather not be outside, with lovely decor and a friendly but not overpowering atmosphere (you are not immediately assaulted by very loud music and can have a nice conversation with your dining partner). We chose a table outside and were greeted by a member of staff who offered us both menus. This was where my dilemma started... there were a number of amazing sounding options as well as specials on the board, I didn't know what to choose! I asked my partner to go to the counter and order and instructed her to ask which out of the chick*n burger or the new yorker hotdog I should get. We were recommended the hot dog. I can see why!
As we had been cycling and very active that morning, I was feeling especially hungry, so I decided I would probably have room for a side of fries and a milkshake as well. I am so glad I was so hungry. Soon after ordering, our drinks came out to us. I was apologised to as there was an issue with the whipped cream, so there was no whipped cream topping on my biscoff milkshake, I didn't mind at all and they kindly put extra biscoff topping on there anyway to make it up. It was divine. To be able to enjoy a really good, well made milkshake again was absolute heaven, even before I stopped dairy altogether, I had real sensitivies to milk so was unable to enjoy shakes. My partner enjoyed a peach iced tea, which really hit the spot.
Not long after our drinks were served, a staff member came out with the food. It looked superb, I had the new yorker hot dog, which is served with crispy onions, yellow mustard and ketchup, absolute classic and a side of fries, which were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and clearly freshly cooked. My partner ordered the veggie burger, which she ordered with a gluten free bun and also a side of fries. There are options to add things to the burger, but she wanted to keep it classic and enjoy the flavour of the burger itself. One bite and she was clearly in heaven.
We were even given an extra portion of fries as a thank you for eating there, we were pretty full but still managed to wolf these down too!
In addition to the great location and delicious food, the staff are absolutely wonderful! Welcoming, friendly and warm, I really would love to be able to give them an extra star for just being fantastic people. Thank you so much all of you!
All in all and absolutely perfect experience and we will definitely be coming back again and again, I still need to try that ch*cken burger!
Vegan or not, I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a fantastic addition to the plant based offering in the city of Exeter.
Great food and the service was brilliant too. Viking was really helpful with recommendations for a friend who is gluten free. Thanks! Will definitely do Taco Tuesday again :)
Lovely lunch with work friends. Lovely staff and delicious food. I had the gluten free fish and chips which was a real treat. Lovely light batter which isn't usually the case with GF! Also good banter from the waiter!
The baked good are unreal! Especially the cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. Lots of gluten free cakes too. Sandwiches look delicious (though I haven’t personally tried). Everyone is so friendly and up for a chat. Dogs are welcome and drinks are lovely - what’s not to like! Just make sure you get there early if you want your pick of baked goods :) Perfect stop on a quay walk or for a catch up with friends.
What a wonderful little pub! Tucked away just outside Exeter, this little gem has a fantastic range of food and a good atmosphere. As a celiac, I am somewhat nervous around eating out but the staff here wholeheartedly reassured/guided me and I ended up having a wonderful gluten free meal. I didn't manage to get our hostess' name but she was able to chat me through the whole process and made sure the kitchen was aware of my allergy. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out the front in the sunshine. I would 100% return again!
Not only great service, amazing food, (including gluten free option), but eco positive, using naked sprout products, (Britain's most sustainable tissue) & giving back to the planet via #BeOnePercentBetter.
Definately a gem that Exeter can be proud of. 😊 I'll be back!
Nipped in to grab a coffee and maybe some breakfast and being Celiac they made it perfectly in just a few minutes with no difficulty super service great ethos great people made my morning whole …
I'm was most satisfied with my trip to the Pinhoe hoard. I was served by a lovely lady called Lauren. We had nice food and great service. I had the mixed grill and was so tasty and good size and my wife had gluten free bacon and cheese burger. They was very Attentive and took care of my wife's allergy very well. Will definitely be back
Our favourite place in Exeter for Gluten Free food!! Service was amazing (served by Oscar) and they were so helpful with our requests. Food is amazing!!
Vegan and gluten free options at excellent old school prices! Plenty of other options for meat eaters too. Dog friendly. Cosy. Very welcoming pub.
We had pizzas , ciders, ginger beer and rhubarb and apple crumble.
Decor looked tired. I had to change my chair as it was wobbly and the leg was about to fall off. Very loud atmosphere, staff took a while to check us in to table then to take our food order. I ordered the halloumi kebab and it was over cooked and hard and like rubber. We didn’t complain to wait for another meal as we had another engagement to get too after the meal so was pushed for time to wait again for a replacement. One of party members was Gluten Intolerant and we’re went told about scanning the qr code until she came to take our order. I made a point of mentioning a GF member on the booking so surely, when the menus were given out it would have been better to tell us then about scanning the qr code. She had to change her mind and felt rushed into choosing something as we’d all ordered before she was told how to see the gf options. Wouldn’t go again. I have been to the Botanist in Cardiff and had a completely different experience there. It was lovely.
Delicious, uncomplicated pasta, the food is well worth visiting for. Not sold on the decor, but the excellent food and friendly staff definitely make up for it. I didn't try the gluten-free pasta but was really pleased to see the option on the menu. Will be coming back to try the pizza & tiramisu soon.
