I visited this pub 2 weeks ago on a Sunday for a roast dinner. The pub menu is replaced by a roast dinner menu on Sundays. I opted for pork. Beef and Chicken were the other choices on this particular Sunday.
A soup is included with the meal which costs £7 in total. The Mushroom soup was tasty but a little watery. The pork was perhaps a little thin but there was plenty of it. There was also a decent amount of crackling. The potatoes were quite crispy and fluffy in the middle. They were well above average for a pub. The roast was served with peas, carrots, parsnip and swede mash and cabbage.
This was a well rounded roast at a good price. The meat was rather thin and perhaps a little dry. The vegetables were not overcooked but they were a little plane. This was a simple but well cooked roast. I like something a little more imaginative myself but at the price it’s hard to grumble. If you like your roasts traditional and quite simple then this could be the roast dinner for you. I would certainly go to the park hotel for dinner again though I wouldn’t make a special journey to Exmouth for it.
I would give it 7 out of 10 because the quality was generally quite high and it was great value for money. Thicker meat and a little imagination would have really increased the mark here as the roast potatoes were a highlight and roast potatoes are often the most disappointing part of a Sunday roast.
