Scandi pop-up launches in Circa 1924 for lunch

Launched in June 2015 by two local guys, Rob Weeks and James Waddington, Circa 1924 has quickly made a name for itself as one of the coolest places to dine out in Exeter.

Due to popular demand, the funky 1920s-inspired seafood & steak house now opens for lunch, with an on-trend new pop-up restaurant. ‘Skandel’, London's hottest new Scandinavian food brand first launched on London’s über-fashionable King’s Road, is looking to take the pulse on South Devon’s taste for Nordic cuisine. Set in Circa’s bootleg bar, skandel@Circa1924 is aimed at all comers and will offer an affordable...

Leicester Tigers 31 Exeter Chiefs 27

One thing that’s a given with Exeter Chiefs is that their fighting spirit will always be there in abundance.

The fact they showed it for only 40 minutes at Welford Road was the real disappointment for head coach Rob Baxter, who had to watch his side fight back from 31-6 down to rescue a losing bonus against Leicester Tigers.

Exeter’s hopes of moving back to the summit of the Aviva Premiership ahead of defending champions Saracens were thwarted by an impressive Tigers side, who themselves moved back into the play-off picture with this bonus point triumph.

A396 roadworks delay

Work to replace a safety barrier and road re-surfacing on the A396, north of Cove, Tiverton, will take 13 days longer than originally planned.

Following a review by contractors, it is predicted that the current full time road closure will remain in place until the 24th March 2016.

The reason for the delay is due to a short section of the river bank not being strong enough to support the proposed safety barrier (road restraint system).

Additional piles and a raft foundation have to be constructed and to do this the contractor must drill through very challenging...

Appeal for Exeter flood wardens

An Exeter community group is looking for volunteers to help protect local people from flooding. St Thomas Community Emergency Group aims to have a flood warden in every street to help warn and support vulnerable residents in the event of a flood.

Stonemasons’ boost for LEGO Cathedral

Exeter Cathedral’s Big LEGO® Build has got off to a fantastic start, thanks to a donation from the Worshipful Company of Masons.

Chiefs side to face Leicester Tigers

Exeter Chiefs back coach Ali Hepher says his side will have to be on top form if they are to emerge triumphant from today's Sunday’s Aviva Premiership trip to Leicester Tigers (3pm).

The second-placed Chiefs made it back-to-back victories in the league a week ago when they defeated local rivals Bath 26-17 at Sandy Park, but their credentials are sure to be tested to the max by the Tigers, who themselves remain firmly in the play-off picture having thumped London Irish last time out.

Nine points separate the two sides going into this weekend’s tussle at Welford Road and...
