My final and longest South West Trains cheap fare Winter Smiles trip was to Exeter. The £10 special offer only got me to Honiton, so a Honiton -Exeter return (with Network Card) was bought for £4.55 and as it was a long journey I decided to take advantage of a Weekend First £5 upgrade both ways. Still great value for a round trip of just over 300 miles.
First stop was the Great Western Hotel outside Exeter St Davids station for a half of Exeter - Avocet. Then to the Imperial (Wetherspoons) for a half of Hunters - Devon Dreamer.
The next stop was the Old Fire Station.
A half of Black Tor - Resolution was had here. By the time this was finished the van had moved so I got better photos.
On to the big church and a pub in Cathedral Yard called the Well House. A very quick half of Black Tor - Templar's IPA as the pub was crowded with people watching Rugby.
Then the Beer Cellar which only opened early this year. A Half of Tavy - Porter and Firebrand - Toasted Porter were both good in here
Two more Wetherspoons pubs next, George's Meeting House for a half of Dorset - Durdle Door and the Chevalier for a half of Adnams - Two Brewers Irish Stout.
Then I finally got to the Fat Pig brewpub.
A half of each of the 4 beers below was had
Some interior photos. I quite liked it.
The main bar:
and the back room
A quick half of Otter - Ale at the Angel opposite Central station completed this brief visit.
