The 5 course menu, which is an absolute bargain at £45pp 💫, will be packed with the flavours of the season. Expect BBQ’d spring lamb 🐑, fresh asparagus, wild hedgerow greens 🌱 and the very best local fruits 🍓🍒

Gideon has built a loyal following since opening his first restaurant, The Giant Club, where he became known for his simple yet elegant style of cooking 👨‍🍳

These pop-ups only happen every so often, making them a fantastic opportunity to experience something truly special ✨ The focus is very much on exceptional ingredients, relaxed dining and warm hospitality 🍷

The Poachers Inn, 55 High St, Ide, Exeter EX2 9RW
