A fine Georgian building on the site of one of the old gates into Exeter, the pub has part of the ancient city wall in its cellar. There are three eating and drinking areas off the main bar, a cellar bar and a large paved and decked garden with its own bar in the summer. Beers on offerare Young's, with seasonal variations. Good-quality cuisine is served from breakfast time through to 10pm (9pm on Sunday). One can eat throughout; more informally in the airy conservatory on sofas or, on warm sunny days, outside in the spacious landscaped garden.
