The Duke Of York Inn — Restaurant in Exeter

If your into people watching you could get your PHD here. Everything from Students to bar-fly's and everything in-between. Some good pool players and some really fantastic regulars. Landlord Andy runs a tight ship and keeps the druggies to a minimum. My kind of place. Not a place for real ale drinkers though only Doom Bar rest is Worthington's or similar..

These clients imagine that they epitomize English. But they can't speak correct English. Their grammar is childlike and pronunciation laughable. If you want to drink with the dregs, this is right for you. Obviously, the place is seedy...
