The Fat Pig Brewery in Exeter

The Fat Pig’s food is incredible, especially the roast. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and homely vibe.

Great pub. Lovely staff. Food is good at a fair price. What more can you ask. Long may pubs like this stay in business!

Buzzing little city centre back street pub and restaurant.Food smelt great.Only came for beer which had 2 well kept real ales and a couple of keg ales.Seemed very popular with families and couples

A charming and busy pub with amazing food.

They squeezed me in on a Friday evening despite being fully booked. I enjoyed the tasty pork loin pasta and a couple of pints. The service was quick and friendly.

Love this place. The food is wholesome and delicious, staff friendly and it's a great vibe. Brunch 😋😋

This place is special for many reasons, I go there for the food! They serve the best food I’ve had in the UK.

The overall experience was great; food was good and arrived promptly, the staff was nice and happy enough to joke around in a professional manner. My only letdown was the noise, I have a light amount of hyperacusis, because the restaurant and bar doesn't have any soft surfaces to absorb conversation "hum".

Sooo expensive. I was charged well over £3 for a dash of lime & soda water!

We really don’t understand why we have left it so long to try this pub. We finally got organised and booked for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed with the roast. This is a proper pub, quintessentially English with a focus on good quality food, cooked in a kitchen by a person who knows what they’re doing. With so many homogenous pubs these days, cooking boil in the bag standard fayre, it’s refreshing to discover a nugget which is holding on to its independence. Thank you Tiny and your team, you deserve to be busy, (as you often are).

What a great pub with excellent food. The Guinness & primitivo were delicious😋. We didn't want to leave 🍷

We had drinks and it was lovely, as we're the staff. Taco the whippet approved too 👌✨

Great food service and atmosphere 👌

A little gem in the middle of Exeter. Friendly staff, amazing food & a great selection of ales...... Just go and have some food and beer, it's ace........

I keep meaning to leave a review as this is My place of choice for a Sunday roast . It's easily the best in Exeter . It's also a lovely Little pub and often has good music playing in the background .

Some of the best Sunday Roast we had in ages 🥳 Delicious food and great atmosphere 🔥

I booked a table to catch up with some old friends. Thank god I did because it was very busy and I can see why. The staff were great and very friendly, we opted for ale on this visit. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the feather blade beef and finished with the chocolate balls. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a great "real" pub slightly hidden away but well worth the effort to find it.

Really amazing food, very friendly service and very well kept beer

Had such a great time on Sunday first time going was welcomed with a friendly attitude the landlord Paul was a great chap very complimenting. Would recommend! GOOD PEAS

This has to be one of the best places to eat in Exeter. Food was brilliant as was the service. Will definitely be returning when we go to Exeter again.

Had the slow cooked pulled lamb burger, OMG delicious 😍😋

We had the best Sunday roast to date at The Fat Pig. Both the lamb and pork were delicious, and the Yorkshire pudding hot from the oven. I suggest you book as this pub is popular for its Sunday roast or alternatively get there at opening time. The service was personal and 5 star.

I can confidently say, this was the best food I’ve had in Exeter. Highly recommended. The owner and the bartender were really nice as well.

Very welcoming attentive staff, food was perfectly cooked and a perfect amount. Highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful place. Clearly run by enthusiastic individuals with a passion for what they do, unlike the chain establishments that unfortunately are increasingly the norm. Great atmosphere. Fantastic, interesting food, clearly prepared on-site, and a good selection of alcohol. I highly recommend. P.S. they are active supporters of mental health charities.

Perfect pub. Convivial host sorted our seating after we'd unknowingly gate crashed a private party in the other bar area! Quality beer and sight of a Bruichladdich Barley whisky, having previously bought some from the distillery itself in 2022, was too good an opportunity to miss. First time visit and we'll be back.

Glad consistently been one of the best pubs in Exeter in the 12 years that I’ve lived here

Food has improved over time, generally staff attention and service excellent. Proprietor is tops!

Lovely town pub with great atmosphere and good beer. Would like to go back and eat there sometime soon.

Lovely company locals really friendly food was amazing

Such a great pub, great staff, atmosphere, drink selection, excellent roasts, quite possibly the best pub in Exeter

Didn't eat here but will do. A real pub with great atmosphere and staff

A great place for food and a drink, staff were lovely and friendly. The food was excellent quality and so tasty. And the atmosphere was chilled and enjoyable, highly recommend.

Didn't eat so can't comment on the food although it looked good. Great atmosphere and service had a great night.

What a great place! We had a roast dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Huge portions, fresh and tasty veg and the beef was cooked to perfection. But the thing that made our visit so special are the staff, they are so friendly and genuinely lovely people. They obviously take a lot of pride in what they do and it shows. We will definitely be back again when we're next in Exeter.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and fantastic service but what absolutely blew me away was the food! The prawn cocktail had a Bloody Mary twist with cucumber, fresh with lime and coriander, the roast beef was the best I have ever had! Finished with desserts and then cheese all fabulous, the most incredible lunch. Hope to visit again!

If you're looking for a pub with fantastic food, faultless attentive service and a great vibe and atmosphere, then this is your place. I'd heard great things and was not disappointed. Will be returning very soon

Lovely pub that I frequent often for drinks and for food. Normal menu is lovely but they also do The Fat Tuesday Project taster evenings for £60 per head and it never fails to satisfy me Lovely friendly staff. A must visit

Roast arrived lukewarm and beef had too soft of a texture, to the point where I stopped eating halfway through for fear that it had expired

From booking my table to the meal itself we received excellent customer service. Staff were friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. The food was outstanding, so delicious. Great atmosphere, with a great vibe. 100% recommend and we shall definitely be returning.

Was taken by family who live locally and go regularly - and I can see why it is their favourite. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming, and very tasty food. I had a beef Ragu with pappardelle pasta and I'm going to assume the pasta was freshly made as it was really light and delicious. we'll return next time we are in Exeter!

Magic little pub serving a great variety of beers and ciders and has an awesome spirits collection (especially the whisky). Food is delicious and the staff are the best. I reckon this is the best pub in Exeter.

Amazing Sunday lunch!!! It’s so homely in here and the staff is amazing, definitely recommend the Sunday lunch it’s the best in Exeter. Food comes out super quick but make sure you book otherwise you may not be seated.

Our first visit last night to eat. It was during the Rugby Six Nations. The place was full to the brim and yet the team kept up with food orders and service. There is interesting wholesome menu options and nicely presented. We will go again when we are in Exeter. We went after 6pm and the parking is free at that time.

Really enjoyable evening out, friendly service, good atmosphere, busy without being crowded, lovely food.

Wonderful pub with lovely food. Great service on a busy Saturday night.

I went here with my son what a hidden gem! I was looking for somewhere more traditional were you can have a quiet pint. I was not dissapointed, as most of Exeter is full of student bars this was an exception and its off the beaten track. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food in a friendly classic pub atmosphere. Was zero degrees outside and so the roaring fire and well kept ales were a welcome sight.

Great pub great service amazing food at great prices

It is a great pub and want to go back. Popped in for a quick drink, busy with revelers and a great atmosphere. Good interesting beers on tap. Through a couple of mishaps the owner/manager was very accommodating. We bought two drinks which we were over charged for and the barman spilled the pint. The owner apologised whereupon I checked the price with him and he soon realised something had gone awry. He gave me more back than the difference and later a shot of Cazcabel each! Much gratitude. Definitely a unique and good looking pub inside. Worth a visit.

I've lived in Exeter all my life and we've never been here before - we came here for Christmas Eve drinks as it's a dog friendly pub and we were so impressed we will absolutely be coming back! Reasonably priced drinks, great bar staff, a warm and welcoming pub and a free bowl of roast potatoes and gravy yummy! I almost don't want to leave a good review as I don't want it getting busy but what a great find!

A great selection of whisky, and a good selection of Japanese whisky included in that selection. A couple of IPAs, Guinness and lagers on tap. Great pub, friendly staff, not tried the food but would highly recommend popping in to check out this pub if you are in the area

Food was exceptionally good but difficult to talk because of the poor acoustics of the restaurant. We ended up shouting to make ourselves heard!

Very nice pub, good fun! Thanks

Wonderful atmosphere. Really friendly staff and great food!

Good beer, good grub, good atmosphere. What more can you ask for?

Excellent place for food and drinks!

Didn't eat as it was a pit stop. Great atmosphere with brilliant bar staff.

We were very lucky to get a booking for Sunday Lunch, you MUST book! We all had Roast Beef with all the trimmings, the cauliflower cheese was perfect, still slightly firm, the beef was both delicious and tender and the Yorkshires were massive. They were extremely busy and they turned away numerous walk ins. We didn’t have to wait too long for our meals. Afterwards we had cheesecake with pumpkin purée, that was seriously rich! Staff were lovely, attentive but not under our feet and very friendly. I would heartily recommend this pub. 5*

Great bar, good selection of single malts...

Great hospitality. A warm welcome and a lovely Sunday lunch. Good local ales. Superb

First time here for about 5 years. Still a great pub. Food looked amazing even though didn't have time to eat. Personally could have done with a couple more beer selections but that's a minor issue.

Great pub, lovely staff, traditional bar, not tried the food YET. Great atmosphere..

Such a great place. I feel that I don't want others to know about it. Always great food and a relaxed vibe.

I had not been here for around 13 years and remembered it fondly. It was still the lovely , friendly old English pub. So glad and will definitely pop in again when visiting Exeter ☺️

Had a fantastic night catching up with friends in a great place with fantastice food and clientele 😁👍

Traditional pub with a great atmosphere, very friendly bar staff and a talented chef. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, and ace own brewed beers!

Great for Sunday roast dinner, proper old pub with good selection of beer.

Community venue with a changing menu, and a cheerful atmosphere. Excellent and attentive service from the staff, good food, accommodated a peanut and shellfish allergy with reassuring confidence, and I also overheard them accommodate someone who was dairy free at another table.

Probably the best place in Exeter if you're looking for superb food in a relaxed pub setting. The atmosphere is buzzing and the staff super friendly and attentive. The menu offers some classics and more creative options that seem to change regularly. We've been here a couple of times for dinner and Sunday roasts.

Great pub, great food, friendly staff. Buzzing atmosphere 🙌🏼 Love it here 😍

Fab venue. The food and drinks are fantastic. Friendliest place in Exeter

We’ve been going for drinks regularly and have always enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Finally booked to have a meal as the food always looked so good, and reality definitely lived up to expectations, each dish was delicious! We ended up thanking the chefs in person we were so impressed!

WOW WOW WOW……the welcome was brilliant, the wine was good and the food amazing….perfect for Sunday Lunch…thank you …we will be back !

Lovely people and lovely roast!!!!!! One of the best I’ve had EVER

Great 'real pub' dog friendly and fabulous food. Pub games too - we'll be back! 🤣

Lovely pub with a nice alternative beer selection.

The menu was a bit limited to what I was expecting. However the staff were friendly and it created a very nice vibe

Good food and really well kept beer, friendly staff, what more do you need than that!!

Disappointed to find that it is no longer a brewpub, but the beer selection was acceptable (couple of cask and a few keg). Staff very welcoming indeed. Nice vibe.

Food was excellent. Would recommend, cauliflower cheese to die for, staff were lovely

Lovely place, good beers, really nice food and the manager was really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic little pub! Food was great, cask beer very well kept and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Very much recommended.

Wow. Unusual location down a side street in Exeter delivering simply stunning, homemade tasty food. As dog friendly as dog friendly gets as well. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Very very good food, my second time eating and it was as impressive and delicious as the first. Great staff, great atmosphere.This place is a gem.

The rumours are true! Best roast in town and the staff are great too. Very friendly and very welcoming.

A cosy town centre pub. Friendly atmosphere and great service.

Can get to popular 🤔 good selection of beers.

Traditional style pub, recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at. The bar serves local ales and the usual beers, the staff are friendly, and the food is decent looking, though I didn't get to try any.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere.

Good beers and brilliant atmosphere.

Great ales, really nice food, super friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. One of my favourites

Roast is good Lovely atmosphere Meat is so tender and every flavour dances on your taste buds. Worth a trip.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff - only a shame they were full booked so we couldn't get a Sunday lunch reservation. Defo worth a visit

Searched for somewhere close to the Corn Exchange and hit the jackpot! The food and service were excellent and wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend. Thank you.

They’ve nailed it! You won’t be disappointed.

Visited today for Sunday lunch. What an absolute gem of a place. Wonderful food and the customer service was great :) The whole experience was very easy and enjoyable which is exactly what you want from a meal out. Child and dog friendly, the landlady had a lengthy chat with my son about the resident cacti 🌵 We will be back. 👌🏻

Good food, good beer, good value
