| Excellent range of beers, but food was fairly average - a bit disappointing considering the place's reputation. daveinbrum - 21 Sep 2008 20:21 |
| Truly a great beer drinkers pub situated right next to St Davids station. The range of ales is second to none. Also the 24oz mixed grill was awesome - far better than the boil in a bag rubbish at the Spoons next door(and only £6 more expensive). If you're in Exeter and like ale then this is a must. twineyboy - 11 Sep 2008 21:15 |
| Went there at the weekend on the Sunday evening and there was a good few people in the main bar - great range of 8 beers on including O'Hanlons Firefly - lovely. Whilst it is a bit shabby it was still a relaxing place, it lived up to my expectations of a classic railway hotel. I would visit it again (but probabbly as part of a trip to a few Exeter pubs).

| Yes its a bit shabby but if you go into a pub for the beer rather than the decor, this is one for you. There are 9-10 handpumps here with both local and further away ale. Well worth visiting if you are waiting for a train. Paris_Hilton - 22 Aug 2008 13:53 |
| Seems to be getting shabbier by the minute. The handpumps in the Loco Bar are now purely for decoration (even if some of them do have pump clips) and all real ale is now pulled from the top bar pumps, so go up to the top bar to see what the full range is and order from there. It really needs some money spending on it in order to attract the customers back (the bucket's been under the sink in the gents for ages). At one time recently, my wife and I were the only two people in the Loco Bar, at 9pm on a Saturday night - even though there were 9 beers on tap. Shame, really. Trequites - 30 Jul 2008 20:58 |
