The Botanist, Exeter

Happy hour

If you're looking for a gorgeous place to wet your whistle, then shimmy on over to The Botanist. This foliage-obsessed space serves a load of signature cocktails alongside wines and beers, which you can also take on its pretty alfresco terrace. Peruse the menu and you'll find the bartender-recommended tipples, like the fruity Garden Mojito and bag any three of the same drink for £22.50.

The Turks Head

On the hunt for a top-notch boozer? The Turks Head is a firm choice. This cosy pub is offering punters a fabulous range of eats, from nachos to mouthwatering homemade pizzas, all washed down with some ice-cold brews or classic cocktails. Yum.

Rockfish Exeter

Serving tasty and sustainably sourced seafood, it's no wonder why Rockfish Exeter is loved by foodies. With fried local hake and delicate sea bass accompanied with fresh-cut chips, and homemade slaw, this is a great place to tuck into delicious food with a crisp glass of pinot grigio.
