Wedding Info

Some extra info for people coming!

Parking

For people leaving on Sunday, there are some residents areas which you can park on the roadside during weekends. We recommend parking anywhere around the St Leonard’s area for maximum convenience.

For others, here’s some car parks that we know around the area, all are walkable to the venue:

  • Magdalen Road car park (day rate - £18.00; 5-10min walk to venue)
  • Triangle car park (day rate - £13.00; 20min walk to venue)
  • Belmont Road car park (day rate - £11.00; 25min walk to venue)

These are just a few, more options are available on the Exeter City Council Website.

What to do?

Food and drink

  • Stage - (Saturday only) We visited so regularly you can see Brandon outside on Google Maps Street View. If you want slightly more boujie dinner out, they do a 6 course tasting menu that we highly recommend. They also do great drinks.
  • Calvo Loco - (Saturday only) Our favourite Tapas place, we recommend booking in advance.
  • Goto Japanese - (Saturday only) Mia’s favourite Ramen in the country. Also does great Sushi.
  • iFood Thai Taste - Amazing Thai food.
  • Prospect Inn - Classic pub food on the Quay.
  • Double locks - a nice walking trail along the river side ending with a pub (approx 30mins walk from the quay).
  • Firehouse - Like Harry Potter? We don’t. But we like Firehouse. Known for it’s square pizzas and Sunday roasts (vegan friendly).
  • The Press House - Best Brunch in Exeter, get there early.

Coffee shops we like

  • Crankhouse - (Saturday only) Exeter’s most iconic local roastery.
  • Common beaver - Our go to Sunday morning spot (we recommend the batch filter). Also has bagels. Mia accredited this place with starting her unhinged coffee obsession.
  • 18grams - Local micro-roastery, we recommend for espresso and milk drinks. Brandon accredited this place with starting his ability to drink coffee.
  • Lilac Bakery - A little off the beaten track but incredible pastries (and still closer than Paris!).

If you really want to get caffeinated, try doing all 4 in one day, then follow up with Dance Dance Revolution at Boneyard Arcade!
