Winslade Manor Bar & Restaurant

Winslade Park Avenue, Manor Drive, Exeter, Devon, EX5 1FY

Secluded in 86 acres of stunning parkland on the outskirts of Exeter, 19th-century Winslade Manor exudes understated luxury and is a smart spot for business lunches, group celebrations and gourmet getaways.

Whatever the occasion, the lovingly restored manor offers a variety of spaces in which to unwind: find a quiet corner in the lounge and curl up with a coffee; sip a signature cocktail in the contemporary bar; or pull up a pew in the characterful dining room.

The restaurant’s reputation is built on refined and exciting food experiences. Award-winning executive chef Matt Mason utilises local ingredients to create dishes that celebrate England’s eclectic culinary influences while simultaneously focusing on sustainability and innovation. The Curtis Pitts venison with smoked celeriac and roast jerusalem artichoke is a typical example of his fine cooking.

Everything is made in-house, and there are menu choices to suit all occasions – from brunch and express lunches to seven-course tasting experiences. All are supported by a drinks menu that showcases local beers, classic cocktails and independent wineries.

On fine days, the terrace is a charming spot for a casual alfresco lunch or to entertain business clients in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery.
