Green Gables Inn - Exeter

Friendly place I always enjoy a visit when I have a moment.

Defines a local pub! Kind of, until you upset someone.

Classic old-school locals pub, but you're welcome anytime as long as you're respectful. I love this place :0)

Great local pub selling cider,lager and beer best local pub in St Thomas's and the best pub this side of the river(Guinness is top notch)

I have to admit, this review is based on a vicarious experience talking with someone who know the place very well. This is a real old fashioned boozer, not a poncey plastic gastro pub, you go here to have a drink. Period! Sadly, a type of place dying out from British culture, a real working man 's place of refreshment after the days toil. Ask for the menu.....which flavour of crisps do you want! Brilliant. However, the savvy landlord will allow you to order a takeaway from the places opposite and provide cutlery and plates for you to eat it there and carry on drinking. Genius The landlord also serves excellent beer being very diligent about cleaning the pipework and pumps regularly. It 's a 'must visit ' for all foreign tourists to get a real flavour of a British pub and meet local people who are serious about community and drinking with friends.
