We visited here after trying to get a table in Wetherspoons around lunchtime. The food was excellent (I had a large breakfast which was fantastic) and my wife had a jacket potato which was pretty large and looked great. The staff were friendly and punctual and the interior was clean and well laid out. Prices were reasonable for what you received. We would visit here again next time we're in Exmouth.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to The Bayleaf for looking after us today. The food, hospitality and atmosphere was exceptional. The lady who looked after us was lovely, warm and very considerate. The eatery was light, airy and spotlessly clean. It has been many years since I was based down this way and walking round Exmouth was quite surreal and provoked a lot of memories. As I mentioned to the lady who served us, my compliments to the kitchen and to you all. Kindest regards Steve (the guy with the crutch lol)
