Oh dear,it was a long weekend in May and they ran out of real ale!

Basic meals at reasonable prices.

Seems to have re-opened, but without the nice Thai food. There are 3 handpumps (Deuchars, Doom Bar and Pride) but looking through the window on my way past, they rarely seem to be all on at the same time. Doom Bar seems to be the most commonly available - one of my least favourite Cornish beers, Deuchars is too weak and I don't think Pride travels well outside London, so I haven't been in to see if they're kept in good condition.

On June 17th 1966 I met my wife-to-be in The Jolly Porter. I was at the university and she was a nurse at the RD&E in Southernhay. The latter lasted only 2 years more, suffering a serious fire. On the other hand, our relationship has lasted for 43 years and counting.

All the more poignant then to hear of the closure of the pub a couple of months ago

Seems to be closed, although there's nothing externally to say so. It hasn't been open whenever I've been past during the last couple of weeks, no matter what the time or day.The only difference is that the piece of paper at the door giving the opening times has been removed. Shame if it's permanent - they did nice Thai food, too.

Visited here on a train journey to Exeter - nice pub, friendly owner (or was he just a barman? - think he was the owner though), food on offer too. Big seating area with large screen TV, but also a more cosy area with real fire for more intimate pints; pool table too. Worth a look, I would say.
