Valentine’s Dinner at the Exeter Custom House

Tables will be sumptuously laid with white linen and flowers and bespoke-made decor will adorn the walls! The rooms all boast unique 17th century plasterwork ceilings and the large sash windows give the best views in Exeter, straight down the river to the south. 

This POP-UP dinner event is being run by Gideon Hitchin and the same team who recently organised the very successful series of dinners called ‘Together’ at The Custom House, which were based around the flavours of South India. That series sold out within a few days, so if you would like to come to this one be sure to book as early as possible!

It will be an evening of great food with a fantastic atmosphere.

* Sip on a complimentary cocktail or glass of fizz upon arrival, before enjoying the 4 course menu featuring the best of the West *
