Always reliable real ale pub (under current ownership) with Doom Bar,
Otter and stronger/summer ales always on tap. If it ain't perfect
they'll change it. All the usual cooking and ranting lagers. Food is
wholesome with big portions, home-cooked and certifiably dolphin-friendly. All served by
crisis-inducingly attractive bar and kitchen maids. Long bar with
pool/games area round the side with plenty of room for the varied
clientele to mix or avoid each other as suits. Frequented by local geysers, students, suits, townies having one on the way into
town, more students, singing Welshmen, last-chance likely lads, townies who never made it into
town, bedsit wierdos, ex-students gone native, incorrigible scrotes,
habitual gits and the odd normal. Dogs welcome, home to a great pub dog who has,
thankfully, stopped leg-humping. Regular bands, often of a geyser
variety, to jump up and down and pretend it's 1982 again to. Quizzes,
film-nights and conversation of a level of inanity rarely found today. A
sun-trap seating area out the back. The only real pub left in central
Exeter. read more
