Michelin Plaque 
AA 1 Rosette Recognition, rewarded and retained.
We're proud of the awards we've earned for our cooking and dining experience here — each one a reflection of the team's passion for great food and the moments shared at our tables. Six years of Michelin recognition — Bib Gourmand 2021–2025, Plaque 2026 — the AA 1 Rosette this year, Taste of the West Best Fine Dining, and Food Drink Devon Gold held since 2014.
The recognition our Exeter seafood restaurant has earned over the last decade — fine dining in Devon built around the kitchen, the dining room, and the suppliers who make it possible. Devon's most recognised seafood restaurant, and one of the most-recommended places to eat in Topsham.

Plaque 2026
Recognised every year since 2021
Bib Gourmand 2021–2025, Michelin Plaque 2026. The transition reflects the restaurant moving above the Bib Gourmand price bracket; both marks signal Michelin's recognition of the kitchen.
