This Pub is Temporarily Closed

Riddle & Rye is a subterranean cellar bar and restaurant on the busy Exeter city centre High Street. It is decorated with traditional oak beams and flooring, snug alcoves, Chesterfield sofas and romantic lighting. You will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city while you relax with a pint of one of their cask ales. Their delicious food menu, which has been developed over several years and is unique to Marston's, offers everything from a lunchtime snack to a hearty steak, or you can choose from one of the daily specials. They have a policy of not allowing under 14s into the pub.
