If you are looking for a beautifully cooked, tasty and affordable lunch, Circa 1924 is the place to go. The lunch menu is small but you can be confident that everything will be lovely. The young lady serving was very pleasant and accommodating. ...The best bit was that pretty much everything on the menu was either gluten free or could be adapted...such a treat for people with wheat allergies....absolutely lovely. Two courses for £10-95 (lunch) bur obviously we found room for dessert �

The staff are fantastic with a very good standard of customer service. It was my birthday celebration and they decorated a plate of petit fours with Happy Birthday written in white chocolate sauce. Great free music. Lovely prosecco. The four side vegetable dishes for £12 is excellent. I recommend the vegetable tempura. Pickles. And breads. All of the food we had was perfect. The dessert with edible flowers was divine. Nice decor and comfortable yet formal atmosphere. It's a good balance of class and casual. So anyone can enjoy a visit to the restaurant. Cocktails looked amazing. We did not try them but honestly they looked beautiful. Well worth a visit :-D :-) I'm glad I chose Circa 1924 to celebrate my birthday.
I made arrangements to come here today, as it is my husband's birthday.
Our reservation was for 1200, the start of their 2 course lunch menu for £10.95. Andrew had the duck pate and mackerel in a tarragon sauce, whilst I had the duck pate and filet mignon. The food was amazing, delicious, cooked very well.
Service was great, polite, friendly and helpful. We were offered pudding (yes please) I had chocolate tart and sorbet and Andrew had meringue, white chocolate and edible flowers. This again was very tasty.
The restaurant was tidy, clean and the decor was charming. We will eat here again, well worth it, prices are really good.
I love this place! Just come back from a delicious roast dinner which was good quality and reasonably priced. Also a big fan of your lunch set menu which was also really good the other weekend. Jake is an excellent waiter and looks after everyone with a smile and a wicked sense of humour. Thoroughly recommend!
The best chateaubriand we have ever tasted everything was perfect and we finished the evening with a cocktail and dance upstairs!.... 100% recommend will be back! Thanks
Ace staff, atmosphere, steak out of this world and infused booze to die for.
Fab food, staff and atmosphere. First time here but certainly won't be the last! Would 100% recommend! :)
I must admit that was the best Chateau Briand I've ever tasted. The service was great too. Well done.

Best steak I’ve had in a long time. Couldn’t fault anything in the place. Food, drinks and staff all really good. Will definitely be returning
Just had a fabulous lunch at Circa 1924. The service and atmosphere were great. The food was outstanding, great menu & presented beautifully. Would definitely recommend to friends. Thank you!
Fantastic food and wonderful service. Went as a family and were well looked after. Great flavour combinations and good portions (mains) smallish starters but lots of flavour so worth it. Would definitely return. Thanks for a great night.
I went to Circa a little while ago, the soft shell crab is the best I have ever tasted and the staff were lovely, will definitely go back next time I'm in Exeter
Had a lovely meal at CIRCA 1924 with friends, who were visiting from Holland, and they said:- "We know where to go the next time we're are in Exeter for great food". The turnip was particularly liked, and the gin infusions upstairs, at the bar, afterwards!
Amazing food. Great cocktails Always on point!! �
Hi circa, Just wanted to say, I took my dad out for lunch on Friday, and we had a delicious set course lunch, the mushroom risotto is top notch. Keep up the good work.x
Absolutely lovely friendly staff and the food is fantastic would highly recommend to anyone
This was our first visit and I have to say the food is lovely and the staff excellent, will definitely be returning. We took our children aged 9yr and 12yr and they were very accommodating.
We had a voucher from my partners son. We booked for lunch and sat in the court yard. We had pink fizz and a cuvee to start along with olives and the olive oil toasted sourdough was sublime. We chose 6 tapas style dishes, they were all delicious along with a glass of their red and white wine to accompany them, it was so good that my partner proposed and I said yes ❤️
We came at 2pm for a lunch with some friends today. The service , food and wine were all absolutely exceptional. The food is incredible - not pretentious and absolutely delicious. All the staff were very knowledgeable on the food and wine. Our first time here and we will be back soon. 10/10. Wine lovers - the wine is young and this is the start of an exceptional journey of English wine. Even the young 2022 wine is full of subtle character. Incredible.
Potentially bias as my boyfriend is a chef here but can genuinely say the most beautiful place to come and have a meal. Everything made on site, gorgeous interior design and service. Had a meal today with 5 others and all thoroughly enjoyed the menu. Everything is locally produced, or made on site. The winery is definitely worth a visit too :)
Also gorgeous animals on the estate, see the cows below!
Incredible food in the perfect setting. Will come back for the wine tour!
The venue is beautiful in fabulous surrounding countryside,just the place for a birthday lunch..
The food was delicious but we found the menu a little daunting.
The staff were excellent,very helpful, couldn't do enough for us.
A very unique experience which I would recommend wholeheartedly.
Really nice lunch at Circa Sandridge Barton the home of Sharpham wine.
You can have a wine tour / tasting and then enjoy lunch at Circa.
Portions aren’t massive but food was tasty.

Modern fine dining restaurant with smartly thought out design and exciting menu.
We had a set three course menu - vegetarian and pescatarian options . Ideas behind each dish are bright, fresh and novel.
However mushroom on toast lacked depth of flavour. Beetroot and Jerusalem artichoke in Risotto dish needed more texture and caramelisation.
All in all very lovely place and exciting team. Will be following your culinary journey.
Excellent food and service. They were the perfect balance of attentive but not over the top. Made for a very enjoyable birthday dinner
Amazing.
Simply the best place to eat in Exeter.
Staff, food, wine..all excellent.
Went to try the tasting menu. 7 courses of gorgeous.
I love this place :)
Nice quiet little place out of the way of the busy city. The food was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection, no complaints there at all.
However the service was a bit slow, they were super apologetic for any delays and promised a drink on the house for the wait but when the bill came I noticed it hadn't been taken off but I didn't feel I should bring it up.
All in all my partner and I had a great anniversary there, would recommend.
We had the tasting menu and loved it from start to finish. The staff were great in explaining our dishes and recommending delicious wine.
The best steak we had in quite some time. Very tender and juicy and full of flavour. Atmosphere and service were lovely.
Its all about the oysters - Best place we've eaten in Exeter so far. We will go back again. I read a review saying that they've tried to fit as many seats in there as possible but i didn't feel this at all. If I could have one complaint it would be that the seats were a little hard. But overall lovely experience.
Really enjoyed my dinner at Circa 1924. Great staff members, very attentive and polite, always around if you need anything, all in all a very nice experience! I would say that other restaurants/pubs in Exeter definitely have something to learn from the staff here. Will definitely come back again.
Great atmosphere. Fantastic place for lunch. Dishes are full of flavours. Portions are just right ammount not too little not too filling. Highly recommend.
Amazing food, well presented and tasted delicious! Lovely chilled atmosphere and polite friendly staff. Highly recommend the Sunday roasts
My wife and I got married in a registry office before the main event later on. We wanted a good restaurant that could help make a special day for us and the immediate family. The team at this restaurant were patient in helping us with the menu and drinks as we may have been high strung from planning the day. They also went further than asked and planned out an amazing section for us. Could not have asked more for our special day.
Dined with friends for Sunday roast ! Food was amazing taste , staff and drinks delightful! Best roast dinner I’ve ever tasted at brilliant value - well done great experience!
One of the best places for food in Exeter! Really good steak! Attentive staff! I really enjoyed the pannacotta dessert :)
