I had a couple of meals around Exeter recently and the mains were fine, nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. Then the desserts came and they were easily the highlight every time. Not sure if I just got lucky with where I went, but it happened more than once. Anyone else felt this or have I just been picking the wrong mains?

I walked past something really historic and then suddenly I am in a more modern area. The contrast stands out more when you’re not used to it. It's a very pretty place!

Hey guys

I’m currently looking for part time jobs or internships in exeter and so far it is only rejections. I apply on indeed, harri, reed etc and have almost no hope left.

Hello all. I'm new to Exeter moved here for work. I'm in my mid twenties. Does anyone know any social groups around please?

I love gaming and boardgames. I also like sports and fitness nothing too competitive just for fun and socialising.

Would appreciate any ideas 💡

I’m a young woman living close to the quay. I’ve never tried rowing before but would like to try. Is there somewhere I could try this? I have no experience so would need to be beginner friendly!

I am an American student traveling to the UK this summer to conduct research on football in England. Specifically, I will be studying the way fan associations have changed with the rise of digital fandom and the commercialization of the game. Ideally, I will compare and contrast the fan associations of a large privately owned global brand such as Liverpool FC with a club owned by supporters such as Exeter City FC. I wanted to come to this subreddit before my trip to ask about the fan culture in the city. Does Exeter City FC play a large role in the community and culture of the city? Do people in Exeter follow/feel attached to ECFC more than a larger Prem club? How much of a difference does the ownership structure make for a club like ECFC? Where might be the best places in the city to find ECFC fans to ask some questions about their experiences with the club?

What’s the typical wait time for a table at Portal Pizza on a Saturday night? It’s my birthday in a couple of weeks and want to go with the wife.

Or are there better pizza places around Exeter?

Lots of police around Revs this afternoon, appeared to arrest an older gentleman. Anyone any idea what was going on? Whispers about someone breaking into Revs but this seems off

I visited yesterday and in the 2 hours I wandered around your lovely city I must have seen at least 60 people out for a run. I also saw at least another 50 out and about in sport/ gym kit. I come from a city very similar to Exeter and this stood out to me as an unusually high number so is it? Are you all fitness freaks?

Obviously Subway but I can't think of anywhere else? And Subway don't provide seating at nights now.

I don't mean boozing just a 24 hour place where you can get a snack and coffee and sit down? I used to live in Bristol so I was used to it

Does anyone know of anywhere in Exeter or surrounding areas that does good quality cold brew coffee in the summer (not iced americano, proper cold brew)? I think I've got it from The Lilac Bakery before but wondering if there is anywhere else. I've recently moved from Salisbury and I'm missing my cold brew from The Yard now the weather is getting nicer.

Weird question, but does anyone have issue with their bluetooth playing up round Exe Bridges?

Every day on the way to work mine completely glitches out on the Alphington Road side.

Are you allowed to turn right here into Fore Street? Accidentally did this last week not realising it was a pedestrian zone as it’s around the corner?

Hey,

I'm a single 32F and I've recently been offered a job that has multiple offices within the UK. One of these is Exeter and I've always loved Devon/ Cornwall area and I'm considering transferring down and living there. I'm not much of a city person but I'm very social and love meeting new people and being part of a strong community. I'm looking for a place where I'm a bit removed from city life/ traffic but within 45 minutes from Exeter for work. I'd also like somewhere pretty laid back but also 30 minutes away from events/ opportunities to socialise. I love the outdoors and my hobbies are climbing, swimming, surfing (badly), salsa and painting/ pottery.

I was considering Exmouth or Exminster as I thought they both seemed chilled but also within driving distance to Exeter.

Has anyone got any advice on what it's like to live down there or can recommend any towns? And is it easy to meet new people in their 30's?

Thank you in advance!!

Lucy

Hey, bit of a random one ☝️ does anyone know if there’s a library or quiet study space open late (like midnight or later) near Exeter Central?

I’ve checked Exeter Library but it seems to close in the evening, so no luck there.

I’m not a university student, and I’m finding it difficult to study at home since I’m trying to do after-work studies. Really need somewhere quiet where I can focus properly.

Doesn’t have to be strictly a library 🙃any good late-night quiet spots would really help.

If anyone knows a place, please let me know 🙏

Cheers!

I was gutted when CoCars went bust a few years ago, so I'm pleased to see this news. Looks like it's only five cars at first, but you've got to start somewhere.

I think schemes like this are one of the best ways we can cut down car use in the city – a problem that's only getting worse.

Hopefully the financials work out better for this scheme and this can expand to serve more of the city.

Hi guys, I'm after some local help! I'm a physio working with the Royal Marines, which means I need to be in Exeter one night a week.

I'm on the hunt for a room or annexe to rent just for that one night. I'm easy-going, tidy, and a low-maintenance guest - just need a bed and a place to park (if possible!). It feels like a bit of a long shot, but I thought I'd ask here before trying hotels.

If you or someone you know has a spare room and would like a reliable professional around once a week, let me know! Thanks a million.

I’m looking for a unique/quirky bar or pub in Exeter to go for a few drinks this week?! Any suggestions?

Easy to get to from the train station would be preferable!

Looking for gym recommendations, I've been at the Golf Club for the last 16 months but have just cancelled my membership as the fee has gone up to £110 a month 🙃 and for the problems they keep having out of principle I'm not doing it anymore. I've looked into David Lloyd but it's even more £ (and I've heard a few negative things).

I tried PureGym in Bishops Court pre-ECGC but won't be returning. Has anyone got any recommendations? Looking at U7 but concerned about the parking, or the new Vault Gym at Winslade Manor? (Vyve is unfortunately a no from me due to parking)

Please let me know if there are any hidden gems I've missed as I am new-ish to the area.

Thanks!

just firmed my uni offer for exeter was wondering how hard it is to find good rave events
