Three Horseshoes Exeter (Formerly The Stables)

Head out towards Cowley and you'll find yourself at a proper neighbourhood spot that's recently had a refresh but kept what matters. The Three Horseshoes has traded its past life for something with real substance—the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name and the kitchen takes itself seriously without any faffing about. It's far enough out from the city centre that you get genuine peace, close enough that you're not stranded in the middle of nowhere. The sort of establishment where you can turn up in muddy walking boots or dressed up for something special, and either way you'll feel right at home.
