This place is super special. Book in advance and they tell you which river taxi you need to catch to take you on the 20 minute boat trip out to the wooden shack that floats in the middle of the estuary. Local fish and shellfish along with season veggies. I love their veggie burger and a glass of the local vineyard Pebblebed's rose.

Exeter is my local city and I love it. There are so many places to eat and drink. A good variation of shops, chains and independent. Check out Gandy Street, Fore Street and Cathedral Green. The Phoenix is great for art, cinema and live music. The Corn Exchange has some big comedian names and The Bike Shed at the top of Fore Street is great for cocktails and theatre. This summer Exeter Quay is looking good with the Boat Shed theatre and bar open plus you can cycle, canoe or paddle board down to Double Locks and Turf Locks pubs from here.
