Christmas at Double Locks

There’s something rather magical about Christmas at the pub – especially at Double Locks. Tucked alongside Exeter’s historic ship canal, our cosy canalside pub was made for winter gatherings, with crackling log fires, twinkling lights and plenty of festive cheer.

Whether it’s a pint with old friends, a long, lazy lunch by the fire, or a lively get-together with the whole gang, we’ve got cosy corners and festive spaces for celebrations big and small.

Gather around our seasonal Christmas menus, filled with hearty festive favourites and all the trimmings, from indulgent three-course feasts to generous sharing boards, best enjoyed with something sparkling from the bar.

Planning something bigger? Our heated marquee and stretch tent, dressed with festive lights and cosy blankets, make the perfect spot for larger parties and Christmas celebrations in Exeter.

However you celebrate, we’d love to welcome you to Double Locks this Christmas.

Sunday roast, absolutely delicious. Best in Exeter. Lots of meat, tasty crispy potatoes. Cauliflower cheese was awesome and pigs in blankets fab. Yorkshire puddings the size of your face. Gravy was really tasty too.
