Forum Kitchen

You head into the Forum on Streatham Drive expecting standard student union fare, but Forum Kitchen surprises you. It's a genuine restaurant, not a grab-and-go operation, where they actually care about what ends up on your plate. The space feels grown-up—proper tables, proper service—which makes it feel like a bit of a secret, since most people don't realise Exeter Uni's got something this solid tucked away. The menu changes regularly and they work with local producers where they can, so you're getting seasonal cooking that shifts with what's available rather than the same tired rotation. Whether you're a student, staff member, or just someone who knows about it, it's reliable, unpretentious, and genuinely good value.
