The Barrel Room
Fine dining right in the heart of Exeter
Upstairs at The Holt, The Barrel Room feels like a well-kept secret in the heart of Exeter. A high, curved ceiling arches overhead, lending the space a sense of grandeur that few dining rooms can match, while polished wooden floors glow warmly underfoot. Natural light pours in and softens the room throughout the day, bringing out the character of the old timbers and stonework.
Set within a 12th century building, the room carries centuries of history without ever feeling stuffy. Tables are generously spaced, so conversation flows easily and every meal feels unhurried, whether it’s a long lunch with friends or a special evening out. It’s a place where the past and the present sit comfortably side by side, and where you can enjoy good food alongside a glass of Otter beer or wine.
