Looking for bottomless brunch in Exeter? Saturdays at Oriels bring together great food, cocktails, prosecco, music and DJs right in the heart of Exeter city centre.
Brunch has become one of the best ways to start a weekend. It is relaxed enough for a catch-up, lively enough for a celebration and, when you add good food and bottomless drinks into the mix, it can very quickly become the main event.
At Oriels Exeter, our Saturday bottomless brunch is designed for exactly that. Whether you are planning a birthday, getting the group together after a long week, celebrating something special or simply looking for an excuse to spend Saturday afternoon with your favourite people, brunch gives you somewhere to eat, drink and settle into the weekend.
If you have been searching for the perfect brunch in Exeter, here is what you need to know.
What Makes A Great Bottomless Brunch?
A proper bottomless brunch should be about more than keeping your glass topped up. The best brunches combine food, drinks, music, atmosphere and the people you are sharing the table with.
You want enough time to enjoy your food without feeling rushed, a drinks menu with plenty of choice and an atmosphere that feels lively before the evening has even started.
That is the idea behind brunch at Oriels. Our Saturday sessions run from 12pm to 4pm, giving you the perfect excuse to start the weekend early.
Why wait until Saturday night when you can start the party at lunchtime?
Bottomless Brunch In The Heart Of Exeter
Location matters when you are organising a group day out. Oriels is based at 223–226 High Street in Exeter city centre, so you are already surrounded by everything the city has to offer.
There is no complicated journey between brunch and your evening plans. Once your table finishes, you can carry on exploring Exeter, head somewhere else for a while or simply stay with us as Oriels moves from daytime brunch into Saturday night.
It also makes us a convenient meeting point when your group is travelling from different parts of Exeter or further across Devon.
Food, Drinks And Plenty Of Choice
Bottomless brunch should still be about the brunch.
Food is included as part of the Oriels brunch experience, with menu options available to view before you book. That means you can start planning your order before you even arrive.
On the drinks side, there is plenty to choose from. Our brunch offering includes cocktails, prosecco, wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks and alcohol-free options, so the whole table has choices rather than being tied to a single drink for the afternoon.
Cocktails
If brunch without a cocktail does not feel like brunch, you will have plenty of options to keep the table interesting.
Prosecco, Wine & More
Prefer something more classic? Explore prosecco, wine, beer and spirits alongside the cocktail selection.
Alcohol-Free Options
You do not need to drink alcohol to join the brunch. Alcohol-free packages and soft-drink options mean everyone can be part of the occasion.
Brunch With A Soundtrack
There is brunch, and then there is brunch with a DJ.
Saturdays at Oriels are built around daytime party energy, with DJs helping take the atmosphere beyond a standard meal out. It gives you all the social side of brunch, but with the music and energy you would normally expect much later in the day.
We also regularly run themed brunches, with different music, pop-culture and seasonal themes appearing throughout the year.
It means your next brunch does not necessarily have to feel exactly like your last one. Pick the theme that suits your group, get the date in the diary and make an afternoon of it.
Celebrating A Birthday In Exeter?
There is a reason bottomless brunch has become such a popular birthday plan. Nobody has to organise a complicated itinerary, everyone gets to sit together and the celebration starts long before the evening.
Oriels is ideal for birthday brunches, friendship-group get-togethers, hen celebrations, university socials and those weekends when somebody decides the group is overdue a proper catch-up.
If you are planning something bigger, private brunch bookings are also available for group celebrations.
Birthdays, reunions, celebrations or absolutely no reason at all. Saturday is enough of an excuse.
Make A Day Of It In Exeter
One of the best things about booking brunch in Exeter city centre is that your plans do not need to end when the table does.
Start with brunch and cocktails in the afternoon, explore the city, then come back for drinks, DJs and a late night. Oriels is open late on Saturdays, so brunch can easily become the beginning of a much bigger day out.
Exeter is compact enough that you can move around the city centre on foot, which makes it especially good for group celebrations where nobody wants to spend half the day arranging taxis between venues.
Planning Your Bottomless Brunch
A little planning is worthwhile, especially for popular Saturday dates.
Book In Advance
Bottomless brunch at Oriels is pre-book only, and popular dates can fill up. If you have a particular Saturday or theme in mind, booking early is recommended.
Allow Two Hours
Brunch tables are normally reserved for a two-hour sitting, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your food, drinks and the atmosphere.
Check The Menu
Take a look at the current brunch menu before you arrive so you can see the food and drinks available for your booking.
Tell Us About Dietary Requirements
If anyone in your group has allergies or dietary requirements, let us know when booking so the team can prepare for your visit.
Not Drinking? You Can Still Brunch
Bottomless brunch does not have to mean alcohol.
Oriels offers an alcohol-free brunch package for guests who still want the food, music, atmosphere and social side of the experience without alcoholic drinks.
It also makes organising mixed groups much easier. Nobody has to miss out simply because they are driving, taking a break from alcohol or just do not fancy drinking that day.

We are proudly independent and based right in the centre of Exeter. Since opening in 2025, Oriels has been built around creating somewhere people can do more than simply stop for a drink.

Come for brunch. Stay for another drink. Make evening plans. Change those plans. Stay out later than expected.
