REVIEWS OF The Puffing Billy
Andrew Younger (16 June 2010)
Still a fantastic venue for excellent food in 2010! New summer menu is now available with the fourth consecutive year of head Chef Darren Broom's creative skills! You must try if you are near Exeter or Exmouth.
Aimee (18 January 2009)
I thought The Puffing Billy was fantastic. The members of staff were delightful and the food was wonderful. Vegetarians have a great selection, which is rare these days. I don't know what the other reviewers are on about.
