this is a good place to visit in the summer - you can even get a boat there from exeter quay or hire a bike and cycle there - very friendly atmosphere and a good place to take the kids as there are no cars around (apart from in the car park!) and there is plenty of room for them to run around just be careful they don't jump in the canal? does get very busy when the weather is good but they usually open an extra bar outside - good selection of drinks and food so overall a good place to visit

Best Pub in the Summer 27th August 2008

Double Locks is a favourite or mine, particularly in the summer. Actually only in the summer, considering it seems to close over the winter!

Located on the canal, hidden away down a very small road in the Industrial estate, and to get there you have to go for a mile, across some tiny bridges and a very small road. I advise you to leave the limo at home, the turns really are that tight!
Nicer to walk in the summer, or preferably cycle down the nice cycle way, or even get in the real spirit of things and boat it down, be it kayak, inflatable crocodile or V8 speedboat.

Nice selection of unusual drinks, although very expensive. Very friendly staff, and a very nice atmosphere, particularly outside on a hot evening.

You can also camp there too, for free as well, best to ask permission in the pub just to be polite tho.
