Prepare yourself for delicious starters,
mains and puddings that offer pretty
much everything at a price!

BEST PLACES TO EAT
There is an abundance of choice for
students wanting to eat out, and the
variety of chain restaurants offers student
discounts or daily vouchers off your
mobile apps nearly every day of the week.
My personal favourite is Firehouse, which
was originally a house for the fire brigade
and has three cosy floors and an outside
seating area, all with fabulous mood
lighting. It gets packed really early but
stays open until 2am. They offer gigantic
pizzas at reasonable prices (and when I
say gigantic, I mean they are enormous)
and good, local alcohol. Another sociable
place to eat is Bill’s, on Gandy Street,
offering ‘Breakfast to Bedtime’ food. It’s
got that typically quaint British ambience,
almost as if you’re stepping into a photo
shoot for a new cook book. Its menu

HIDDEN GEMS
There are many exciting places off the
beaten track in Exeter, and even I have
yet to explore them. One beauty is The
Exeter Phoenix, which offers a fantastic
array of performances, classes, festivals
and much more throughout the year.
There’s also the Cellar Door down by The
Quay with an edgy, indie style offering an
underground nightclub playing House
music. And let’s not forget Mama Stone’s,
owned and run by Joss Stone’s parents
– sometimes she even makes surprise
appearances. I have yet to see her, but
they say the place even provides free
curry while you watch. Tasty!
