The Double Locks, Exeter

What a dissapointment. Having read the reviews above we decided to give the pub a go as most were positive. When we arrived it appeared to be amazing, incredible location right on the waterside. However when we went inside we were suprised to find that it was unclean, with an unpleasant stale odour and sticky dirty bar. It only got worse when we tried to order food. Half the menu was unavaiable and I wish we had decided at that point to eat elsewhere. What we were served was by no means the "home cooked food" that was promised. Microwaved burgers, stale re-cooked chips and limp, pathetic "token" salads. The only plus was the service-our food arrived within about 3 minutes, proof in itself that none of it was freshly prepared.
This pub was clearly great once-it has a huge seating area and great potential. Sadly we will not be going back unless we hear things have vastly improved.
