The standard excerpt field will appear on pages, just as it does on posts.
Additionally, there is a new widget to display the excerpt of a selected page.

Page Excerpts

The plugin is built for something very specific, and does it perfectly.

Simple but effective

Adds an excerpt field to pages, and provides a widget for displaying page excerpts

Recent Posts Ultimate
This plugin takes the best features of five VERY popular recent posts plugins, tosses in the ability to show posts with or without HTML code and gives you a Shortcode builder (which you can copy/paste anywhere on a page, a post or inside a widget), while allowing custom post types to be used.
You can limit it to certain post types, certain categories, sort it by title or date posted, ascending, descending. You can even select whether you want the featured image shown (as a thumbnail), hide/show the title, link the title, the text, control how many words you want shown in the snippet, etc.
Important note: Not all features mentioned above are in this current version. See below for our planned updates.
While this is the first version of this plugin, it should be robust enough to handle just about any of your needs.
