The Double Locks, Exeter

A shadow of it's former self but still worth a visit. An ideal location (canal side and nearly two acres of garden) for summer but they have begun to close early in the evenings in winter. This practice only deters winter visitors as one simply doesn't know if they will have a full evening in the pub or be told to leave at 7-45pm.

The Twisted Oak, Exeter

Re-opened earlier this year (2015). Aimed at families and people wanting bog standard pub food. We hear a lot of negative comments about the Twisted but it's fine really. Beer is well kept and although not the cheapest, it's not over-priced either. Lovely garden for families and now that the traditional skittle alley has been ripped out there is an indoor area for children to play in. Most of the bar staff are helpful and friendly. One word of warning: Don't get there late as they can close early (9-55pm on our most recent visit).
