EXETER...
Robindale's are proud to have taken upresidence at a second
location, again in a home rich in historical value. Known to the
town of Exeter as the "Old May Home,'. it was built in the spring of
1885 by Thomas Balkwell Carling. His father Isaac had moved to
Exeter from London and opened the town's first general store and
tannery and was instrumental in ./bringing railway service to
southern Huron County.
If the Carling name sounds familiar, well it should. saac's two•
brothers formed a partnership in London and founded the Carling
Brewery, a large company still bearing the family name.
Isaac's son Thomas grew up t� run the tannery•and raised a healthy
family of .six daughters and one•son.'
After his demise in 1915, his beautiful'home on the south end of
Exeter 'was •sold to William May. He too was a successful local
merchant whose store Jones and May Dry Goods thrived for many
years.•
In the early 1970's; another caring family moved into.this spacious
home 'and 'proceeded to restore it with loving care. Dr. and Mrs.
Ralph Topps and family. restored. the natural beauty of.the home,
seen in its ornate oak woodwork, doors and arches.
Robindale's have attempted only to add their own personality and
character to this proudExeter residence.
To continue a tradition of service to the community, Robindale's
Fine Dining invites you to sit back and make their home...your
home.
Building on the Victorian e egance Of this 1890's stately home,
Robindale's of Goderich 'have createda fine dining establishment of
reputable note.
Locally known asv "The Cooper House" for the family who lived
within its walls until 1976,' its riew. owners poured their hearts into
its transfo tion in 1983.

did the lion's• are of the refurbishing work themselves. They
stripped wallpap r, sanded floors, refurbished staircases and,
replaced window asements. They scrubbed out the coal bin that
eventually beca a distinctive guest restrooms. And they saved the
magnificent stained glass windows that continue to delight their
guests. - •
Queen Victoria presides from the wall of the entranceway and her
regal presence is. felt in every room, from the sitting room where
guests are first greeted to the three dining roams decorated in her
Victorian style. •
The detailed ' menu at • Robindale's offers, a wide , variety of
appetizers, soups and salads. But it is the. selection of entrees that
tantalize the 'taste buds from hearty steaks to succulent seafood.
Guests can extend their•dining pleasure by ad'j'ourning to one of two
dessert and coffee rooms upstairs. The Warren Room- and the
Elizabeth Room offer cake, trays and tea tables laden with -desserts to
provide a royal ending to a majestic meal.
