I saw this a couple of days ago but didn't answer because there aren't any particularly good restaurants in Exeter or Sidmouth/Beer.  Lambs is probably the best restaurant in Exeter but it is a bit of a gastronomic desert.  I have lived half an hour from Exeter for 20 years and I wish it weren't so, but there is no place that interests me.

That was one of the reason I moved out... there were some almost reasonable restraunts near the theatre but if they had been as good as they thought they were we'd all be in clover. there was a really good Thai takeaway that opened on the main road from Romsey into the city centre, though... Shirley High Street, but I can't remember the number.

I also recall having a pretty decent meal (fresh Seabass) in a pub in Beer a couple of years ago. I don't remeber the name, but it was close to the shore, and not the flashiest one.
