Porters Grill - Cullompton

First time trying Porters last night. Delivery was within 1 hour of ordering and when it arrived it was in paper bags that looked to add a bit of class to the delivery as opposed to most takeaway deliveries thats just a simple and basic carrier bagOn emptying the bags i was greeted with rather posh boxes, again another hit with me as most just send food in plastic cheap packaging that makes the food sweatThen it came to eating the food and WOW o WOW was i surprised. i do put myself down as a critic of food as i enjoy food and i stick with pretty much the same foods week in week out so when trying new places it is easy to judge and make a comparison as we all have to agree to having that one place you bench mark food againstMy Wife and I had a Ultimate Burger each and my 2 children (4 9) had the Chicken Bites and the burger was cooked perfectly for me (we are all different so this is my view and opinion not yours). It was 2 grilled 1/4 pounder burgers that were obviously high quality, with American Cheese good quality bacon. The Bun was also very soft and it was clear it was not just a cheap bun. My Wife and i ate it without complaint and even said before the end why have we waited this long and next weekend is sorted for dinner . Asking the children for their honest reviews they just showed an empty box (typical dad saving my Wife with the washing up)We also had some sides and OMG the battered Pigs n Blankets were to die for!!! Lightly fried and you know most takeaways either under cook or over cook the batter but this one was spot on. If i remember it is their own Cider Batter but it was beautiful. Onion rings, a few portions of different fries with toppings also went down a treatI also feel that the fries cannot go without a mention, you know most places either serve cheap and simple fries as thats usually a money maker and there is not much taste or flavour but the chips served were amazing. Again cooked perfectly, lightly salted and just an overall good tasteIt is a shame we didn 't eat in as they have a good selection of Ciders and Rums on the menu so next time it is definitely an eat in experience thats right an experience because i would not be all the way down here after writing this much if i did not enjoy the time spent eating the food from PortersWell done, you have brought something good to Cullompton and it is nice to have something different on top of the long and established food places we haveWell done to you all and my next review will follow a trip to eating in so i expect nothing below what i experienced this time

We had porters delivered yesterday evening and it was the best food I have had in a long while!I went for the ultimate burger as I thought I should go all in for the first time trying Porters. So often there are big claims from restaurants about their food but this did not disappoint.The burger was juicy and so tasty, the onion ring was perfect, the batter was light and really flavourful, it was cooked to perfection, the roll was wonderfully soft, the flavour of the mushroom mixed with the cheese and mustard mayo just finished it off perfectly.I wasn't expecting it to be quite as big as it was, and struggled to eat it all. It was definitely great value for money that's for sure! The chips were some of the best chips I've ever encountered and the packing that it all came in tied the perfect takeaway experience up in a neat little bow!The staff at porters should be very proud of the food they are creating there. We will definitely be back and I cannot wait.

This was our first time of trying porters and I can honestly say I will be back for more. The food was out of this world.

A lack of food prep time (or 'Just Eat ' priority over those who have actually bothered their arses to visit in person? means you 're waiting an hour and ten minutes for your food. And when that means your rare steak, which is pushing £30, arrives so well done you could re-sole your shoe with it, and you get a parking ticket from the town 's car park for going over two hours, you know you need to avoid this place at all costs. Which are considerable.

Had a lovely meal with 2 very dear friends on Saturday night, the staff were lovely, it was to celebrate all 3 of our birthdays which are within 3 weeks of each other, as soon as the staff realised they gave us our first drink free which was a lovely gesture. Thank you so much, keep up the good work, Debbie, Angela Sandra.
