My daughter celebrated her 20th birthday in early February. She is studying at Exeter University at the time of writing this review and a frequently visited and favourite restaurant was closed so she, her mother and I all hunted on the 'net for an alternative. A friend who lives near Topsham endorsed our choice of the Galley, so off we... More

Let me start by saying that I'm a former colleague of Nigel's (in a service industry) and that I tend to compartmentalise most consumer purchases in to service and product.

We had a most enjoyable evening at The Galley. Everything was simply first class - food, wine, ambience, service and the price quite reasonable bearing in mind the very high standard.

Had heard great things, but hadn't been before. The service was very friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was fantastic, all 3 courses were unimpeachable. Lots of fresh fish, as you would expect, lovely flavours, not too much food, allowing us to eat desserts as well. As well as a good, affordable but interesting wine list they have real ale... More
