Police are asking the public to be vigilant after reports of a man impersonating a police officer in Exeter.
Police have had reports that a man has been in the Beacon Heath area of Exeter attempting to gain entrance to properties claiming that he is a police officer. The man isn’t wearing a uniform and is using a handwritten ID. We believe that he is targeting the elderly.
The man is described as a white man in his 40’s/50’s, very short dark hair, sometimes wearing a dark blue baseball cap, stocky build and around 5”8 tall.
Our chefs have created a seasonal menu to celebrate the world-class quality produce of the land and seas of Devon.
Earlier this year we had great feedback from our French and Italian nights in Wear Park Restaurant, so we thought it was time to explore the fabulously fresh food closer to home.
Our Head Chef, Adam Little is passionate about the provenance of his ingredients and the huge variety of culinary delights on our doorstep, promising a deliciously Devonshire dinner.
