The Double Locks, Exeter

Trequites has got to be the only person in Exeter who has a problem with the Locks not serving as many Young's ales! Most people, me included, are glad to see more of a range from local breweries rather than just Young's beers, nice as they are.

And to visit the City Gate instead, well that's just a joke!

The Double Locks, Exeter

I am a regular at this pub and have been for the last 10 or so years and cannot honestly see why everyone is moaning about change.

The ales are now well kept and varied, the staff are friendly and efficient (you used to have to queue for hours to get a beer), the food has gone back to home-made and everyone is now made to feel welcome. Bank holidays here are now a joy rather than one long queue!

The only thing I can think of is that long gone are the days when customers and staff could quite happliy get stoned and wasted in the pub until god knows what time of the morning.

As far as I can see the pub is now going back to what the 'Double Locks' should be i.e. Jamie's era and not Tony or that other lady who was way too fierce to get to know properly.

Seriously, if you don't like it, find another nasty pub to frequent and make space for the rest of us who love this pub.

Good job guys!
