Nestled in the charming locale of Brampford Speke in Exeter, The Lazy Toad offers a unique countryside pub experience. Once celebrated as one of the premier gastro pubs in the area, the establishment now provides a limited selection of British bar snacks and light bites. If you're looking for a sumptuous dining experience, this may not be your ideal destination, as the culinary offerings have shifted away from full restaurant meals to more casual, lighter fare.
The location itself remains a highlight, offering picturesque surroundings that draw visitors who enjoy the pub's ambiance. Despite its moderate pricing, some patrons have expressed concerns about the food quality. The pub's transformation seems to have impacted its popularity, with limited recent guest feedback suggesting decreased patronage. It's advisable for potential visitors to verify current operating hours and menu options directly, as updates from the new management haven't been forthcoming in quite some time.

Visited this pub on a Sunday lunchtime & apart from soup & a few snacks, not what you would expect of a foodie/gastro pub. Something is amiss- not least customers Reckon on about 6 people at the time.

We've wanted to go for Sunday lunch at the Lazy Toad for a long time and only just got around to booking. Lovely building, nice village and you can tell the food is good. However, our table was booked for 2pm, late on in the lunch service. When our roast dinners came out, they were accompanied by beetroots and sweetcorn (?), rather than the normal brocolli, cauliflour cheese, carrots etc., which we found odd. It was only afterwards when we asked about why this is, we found out that they didn't have a delivery on time, so they served us sweetcorn and beetroots instead. We wouldn't have minded, had they told us up front that they had run out of ingredients and that they'd maybe reduce the price, but this was after I'd paid. They should have said something, as we were all thinking "this is a bit odd". I should have piped up at the time of hearing the explanation, but my brain was working slowly after a lovely brownie and ice cream (which was very nice, I should add). When you pay £16 for a roast, I think a customer deserves a bit more transparency. Wouldn't stop me going back, as you can tell it's a nice place with good food, but it also doesn't leave me itching to go back.
