This Wetherspoon pub was previously the Imperial Hotel, from 1923 until 1994. The Imperial had been converted from Elmfield House, built in 1810 for the County Surveyor James Green. The Orangery was added by Dr William Buller Henderson, who purchased the property in 1897.
Dining
Exeter benefits from being both close to the sea and surrounded by rich agricultural countryside producing fantastic seafood, meat and vegetables right in its own back yard. Not only this, but its long history as a European trading port means there are plenty of international options available when it comes to dining choices.
