Bridge Inn - Exeter

A true, classic old-world pub that serves excellent real ales from a stillage—a rarity these days. The lunch menu is simple yet delightful, and based on reputation, the vegan pasty is reportedly better than the meat option! There is parking available, although winter access might be tricky for some. However, in the summer, it's lovely to sit by the Clyst with a well-poured beer in hand. Price per person: £10–20. Food: 4, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5.

We went for an operatic concert in the Malthouse, the setting was perfect, very traditional pub decor but not in a contrived way. The room was ideal for the event, quite intimate. The staff were charming and helpful at all times. I will certainly return for more musical evenings. Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
