| We visited on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends for a couple on the way back from the city centre... This is cosy little pub a few minutes stroll from the city centre. Although there's not much room, we were able to get all 4 of us around a table and thoroughly enjoy ourselves playing a board game we had with us and leafing through the Encyclopaedia Britannica running along one wall (the highlight of the general pub tat lying around). There were about 4 hand-pull ales on, but we stuck to Otter Bitter, which was on a good value 4-pint jug offer. It was very well kept, and my longest wait at the bar was while a clean jug was retrieved from the back. The staff were friendly and fitting the atmosphere well. At first glance, Exeter city centre lacks good pubs. If you go looking, you can find gems like this one. DrLegs - 21 Nov 2011 19:20 |
| Quirky backstreet pub that is also a big food place. Not as pretentious as i thought it would be, can get busy. 7/10 montie49 - 15 Aug 2011 16:47 |
| Dropped in here on the walk back from Double Locks Hotel on Saturday - had seen it before on last visit to Exeter but it was shut. It has that slight kitted out "how a proper back-street boozer should look "feel - stripped wooden tables etc. The pub's cat slept on the window ledge next to us throughout our visit. For some reason the two bar staff seemed to be pretending it was 1898 not 2008 with their banter / dress - no idea why........ Good range of beer - Branscome Branoc, Hook Norton Old Hooky plus another. The wife had some nice wine and she liked the atmosphere. Food looked nice but was expensive - we ate elsewhere. Would definitely recommend a visit. Old_King_Cole - 26 Aug 2008 22:06 |
