The Double Locks, Exeter

Granted, it's been 10 years since I last went to this pub. But it left an indelible impression on my mind as an archetypal idyllic Summer pub. We had thick doorstep cheese toasties sat on the benches outside, in the sun, while boats passed by on the canal. There's a beach volleyball court there too! Live music, real ale, and it's out of the way too, which makes it quiet and a little bit magical.
