The Imperial (JD Wetherspoon), Exeter

Massive Wetherspoons with 3 bars and several drinking areas which includes a conservatory called the orangery. has a very good selection of real ales.at week-ends it gets packed to the rafters ( about 600 people when we were there) a very large outside drinking area.5 minutes uphill walk from St Davids station.

This pub is close to Exeter University, and so is very much a student pub at heart. It is Wetherspoons owned and so has no music, but does do good cheap food and drink, and has the most beautiful conservatory, and the interior of the building is lovely. Does do family fun days, and big screen events in the garden, and is a real ale festival god. As a family we love this pub, as it is a great place to sneekily go and grab lunch with my husband cheaply, at least with a wetherspoons you know what you are getting before you go. My daughter loves the breakfast, and on a Friday and Saturday night it is heaving, and has a great going out atmosphere. Well worth atry what ever your age, I am sure you will find something to appreciate!
