B & Q Cafe in Exeter

Turned up to watch the football and there was 1 person in the bar. No atmosphere at all. But the match we wanted was on . So sat down few drinks and watched the game. All was well until 15 minutes to go and because some other people arrived and as they wanted to watch the Formula 1 race we were told by the barman he was changing the channel. Just because they outnumbered us. When we then spoke to the manager they stuck to the story of us being outnumbered. So we had to leave. And with only 15 minutes to go we could not find another bar in time and missed 3 goals scored. Just be careful when you enter this place and other people come in after you . Would not recommend at all.

This has been the best Chinese in Exeter consistently for many years. Not only is the food always great but so are the delivery times, service and prices. They always make the effort to tell you how long the delivery will be and it is always shorter. Crispy chili beef is the best.

Very average coffee at a very high price! Poor snack choices and nothing for vegans! Worst of all, they don’t take cash, as if they were trying to usher in the New World Order or keep out the poorest in society. I won’t be coming back.

I’ve had mixed experiences here. While some staff are friendly, others come across as quite miserable, which can make the overall atmosphere unwelcoming. What’s particularly concerning is how certain minority customers are treated—it’s hard not to feel that there’s an underlying bias in how some people are handled. I hesitate to use the word "racist," but the behaviour I’ve observed is edging dangerously close to that. The food is decent, as you’d expect from reheated meals, but the cleanliness of the dining area leaves much to be desired—tables often aren’t cleaned properly between diners. If you’re lucky, you might catch one of the more pleasant staff members on a good day, and they might actually treat you well. Otherwise, it’s a gamble.

Are you coming back? Miss you x
