Fun, friendly, and welcoming; this traditional local in Exmouth is a great spot for diners of all ages. Bring the whole family along for a delicious meal of home comforts or a traditional roast dinner on a Sunday. In the summer months, the beer garden provides the perfect space for relaxing in the sun and enjoying a drink off the restaurant's cocktail menu. Enjoy family celebrations, late nights with friends, as well as evenings supporting your favourite teams watching matches shown on the HD screens.
For a special occasion, drop into The Merchant for a spot of afternoon tea. Nibble on delicate Cheddar cheese, and bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches as well as expertly prepared mini wraps. Once you've finished the savoury selection, move onto bite-sized desserts of chocolate brownie, strawberry eton mess shots and cookie crumb profiteroles. Of course, you must save room for the quintessential pairing of fresh scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam. If you're feeling in the party vibe, why not add a tipple of prosecco or a fruity cocktail.
The main menu sees eclectic starters alongside a range of sharing platters - perfect for the whole family. The classic combo is a real crowd pleaser featuring fried chicken, chicken wings, sausages, chunky chips, garlic bread, onion rings and topped nachos.
Another highlight of the menu has to be the burger bar. Classic toppings like cheese and bacon are sandwiched in a soft glazed bun and accompanied with fries. More adventurous burgers include the sticky pork belly - a beef burger, topped with tender pieces of sweet chilli pork belly, cheese, bacon and dripping in tangy burger sauce.
Join the friendly team for a Sunday roast with all the trimmings including unlimited Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and rich beef gravy. Finish off the feast with a chunky slice of chocolate fudge cake served with your choice of custard or vanilla ice cream.
