“We’re crazy about XXX food & drink”
Our Story
Welcome to Local Loco, your guide to the best food and drink in Exeter, Devon, and anywhere else in our wonderful West Country.
We started Local Loco because of our passion for great quality, tasty, local food. We wanted to support independent businesses, seek out local producers, and eat organically whenever we could, but we often found it hard to find them
That’s why we created Local Loco: a hand-picked collection of local food and drink businesses that share our values and commitment to quality. We’re not a directory of every single place. Instead, we’ve done the legwork to find the passionate butchers, the creative bakers, and the talented chefs who put a smile on our faces with the wonderful food the produce.
What We Do
Local Loco is more than a list; it’s a celebration of local food culture. We’ve done the work to find the hidden gems and the beloved local institutions so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying.
On our site, you’ll find:
Restaurants & Pubs serving food made with care.
Farm Shops & Grocers offering fresh, local produce.
Cafes & Bakeries crafting perfect pastries and coffees.
Specialty Shops like butchers, fishmongers, and more.
We’re here to help you discover new favorites, support local businesses, and eat well while doing it.
