The Fat Pig Freehouse in Exeter - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just got home from my second visit to this wonderful pub! My family go regularly and always recommend it. Not only is the food amazing but Tiny, the pub landlord and his staff are just brilliant. So friendly, nothing too much trouble. Tiny always takes our 2 year old grandson for a wander round the pub to say hi to everyone and brings him a mini roast and ice cream. So chilled there and would highly recommend it to anyone! Thanks Tiny and team for a brilliant afternoon.

Amazing meal the seasonal veg was delicious and the Beef was so tender definitely will be returning we were offered a drink straight away which was a nice touch

Our family are visiting Devon on holiday and wanted a Sunday roast. Reviews for the Fat Pig in Exeter were superb so booked ourselves in. So pleased we booked. The food and hospitality were exceptional. We all had roast dinner with starters and desserts. Everything was delicious. There’s a lovely friendly atmosphere in the pub with lots of laughter and a welcoming feel to it. This is due to the owners who go out of their way to make everyone welcome. Highly recommend and the next time we’re in the area we’d book up in a heartbeat.

Lovely quirky pub and food was excellent. Will be back!! Exeter is full of crap chain restaurants and so this place is a,real find!

Nice friendly pub, great atmosphere with good food and beer. Worth booking to avoid disappointment. We phoned ahead, booked and visited on a Thursday evening with the dog and older child. Had a great welcome, enjoyed local beers and food that was not normal pub grub, all was very nice, great vibe and happy to recommend.

Really cool vibe/Great atmosphere. Super friendly staff too. Fantastic fire in the winter season too. Favourite pub in Exeter!

Great basic pub with a smallish original menu but superb quality. Out of the way but well worth a visit. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Such a wonderful hidden gem in Exeter! The beer selection was quite good but the sticky toffee pudding is the best I’ve ever had. Such a fantastic place!

I think this was probably my best Sunday roast beef ever! Superb quality with beef cooked overnight, lovely roast potatoes, excellent range of vegetables with very tasty gravy. Very welcoming and friendly service and extremely pleasant ambiance. Could not fault it.

Always enjoy visiting this pub, usually for Sunday lunch, and once again had a lovely time here last weekend too. Food was delicious, and plenty of it. Two decent ales and (excellent) Utopian lager on tap plus a nice wine selection. Service is outstanding, really welcoming and friendly.

Our second visit to this restaurant and it was better. Good service , great food and ambiance. A real pleasure to sit and eat great grub in a vibrant surroundings

Had the best meal here last night ! Presented well by genuine friendly staff with a sense of humour !...the crakling on the belly pork was the best ive had yet ! We will be returning without a doubt ...great little pub top marks 🙌

After reading some of the negative reviews of this place I was a little concerned. Well. I was correct to be somewhat perturbed. The charming shiny headed barman quickly seated us in a lovely spot where I was told I was the doppelganger for Rick Astley. So far so good. A delightful waitress coerced us into ordering the scotch egg. Which was meaty heaven, moreso than Grindr before I got kicked off there. The mains were equally as delicious. To summarise. 5 stars.

A small and cozy traditional pub, a bit of a "hidden gem". Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was superb. We had the beef burger and the haddock, both cooked to perfection.

Loved the whole experience at the Fat Pg. The food was delicious, service was fast and friendly. The beer was excellent I might consider moving to Exeter so that this place can become my 'local'.

This is a fantastic little pub serving lovely food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Superb evening had by us all and would highly recommend.

Fantastic!! Staff were brilliant Squeezed us in for early Saturday tea Sat by the log burner perfect spot Food was exceptional Keep up the good work

What a lovely hidden gem. Pub was full atmosphere. Owner was amazing and so good with the kids. The chef talented. Accommodated our dogs to. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic food, great range of drinks, staff couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. I shall be back to try a few of those drinks soon.

Undeniably the best roast dinner in Exeter. Having dined here on several occasions, the food, the service and the ambience are always top notch! Tiny and his team are always attentive, without being overbearing. They carry a great range of drinks and my only complaint would be that I wish the roast never finished. The Broccoli and Cauliflower bake is to die for.

We had won a voucher for our main courses at this restaurant and so went along to give it a try. It had such a lovely atmosphere from the moment that we walked through the door at 5.30pm. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We sat down with our drinks at our reserved table and chose starters and mains. The good was excellent. I had chorizo and mussels, my husband had onion bhajis in cauliflower puree. Then for mains we both choose the pork. We were both stuffed, such a good meal. I do not hesitate to recommend this place.

Delicious food, warm ambience, great music and very welcoming host!!! This is my favourite restaurant in Exeter and it continues to wow me. The landlord/owner is friendly and attentive, their menu is interesting and changed periodically so it doesn’t pall. Just enjoyed a valentines meal there for a group of six and everyone walked away delighted with their meals. We had three hake meals, two gnocchi and one pork chop and some had starters. I am so pleased to have stumbled on the restaurant.

Went for Sunday Lunch to celebrate a birthday. Everything was excellent from the friendliness of the staff to the quality of the food. I can honestly say it was the best Sunday roast we have had in Devon by a country mile. I thoroughly recommend the Piggy Pub to anyone who wants to have great food in a welcoming atmosphere. Fantastic place

Nice pub, shame they were short-staffed which meant that the lunch menu was pretty sparse. That said, the burger was really very good and the bar manager (may have been the owner), was very friendly.

We’d heard a lot about The Fat Pig but had never been, which is strange as we love a proper independent pub. Booked in for a Saturday evening, made our way down the side street from the end of town, opened the bright yellow doors and pretty much stepped through the wardrobe into Narnia. From the contrast of the quiet and empty looking little side street, we were just hit by this kind of other worldly feeling of a cosy but completely bustling room full of people roaring with laughter and drinking beer and wine and gin around a proper fire. We were led down a couple of steps into the next room where our table was. Went to the bar to order drinks (love that there was a gluten free beer on tap) and then back to our table to look at the menu. Loads of gluten free options, the guy taking my order had no issues with making sure the pheasant dish I wanted was gluten free. My friends burger was one of the best she’d had and my dish was a good portion, great value and tasted great. We just feel stupid now that we haven’t come here sooner!

Booked the Ship for 3 on a Friday night after reading the revues and we weren’t disappointed. The venue was very busy so it is essential to book a table. Great atmosphere and the owner circulated amongst his customers. Once ordered our food came quickly....

Cracking proper pub just off of the city centre, well worth a visit. Great selection of drinks and the food is excellent with the Sunday roast highly recommended. Staff and customers very friendly and dogs are most welcome x

From our arrival to departure the service and friendly approach of all staff was so good. Food was top notch. Great selection of beers. Would recommend you seek The Fat Pig out if you are in Exeter.

Friendly welcome at this pub. Great Roast beef dinner which was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyable experience but highly recommend to book

As usual a fantastic Sunday Lunch with brilliant service and nothing is ever too much trouble Superb roast beef and pork

Friendly pub with a great vibe and amazing food. Friday night, we were lucky enough to get a table. The staff are so welcoming and the atmosphere is great. There's a real buzz. Hubby had the plaice for main and I had the burger. Superb...

OMG what an amazing Sunday roast we had! Our daughter is at uni in Exeter and we had our last lunch together as a family here. Two of us had the roast beef and the others had the pork, both served with a great selection...

Relaxed atmosphere. Small menu but the food is exceptional and inventive. I had a mains of perfectly cooked plaice over Bombay potatoes, cauliflower, samphire and a samphire curry sauce. It worked so well. My wife reported that the pork belly was excellent. Large portions -...

... as good as we remembered mixing being a pub and a good place to eat reasonably priced. This mixes being a community pub in the city centre and a place that you want to go to to eat whether locals like us or if...

Visited here with a friend. We went on a Sunday so had the roast, the beef was to die for! Very tasty indeed. The staff were so friendly, will be back for sure

Booked a table for food. Extremely welcoming and attentive staff. Small menu but nice choices although limited for vegetarians. Quality of dishes excellent, as was the craft beer. Everything very reasonably priced. Was back the following night just for a pint. Will definitely visit again...

Fantastic Sunday Lunch served by a great team . Nothing is too much trouble from the moment you arrive to when you have to drag yourself away

Nice meal, not a huge choice on the menu but what we had was tasty, would have liked to have seen more options that weren't vegetarian orientated. service was good.

Featured and recommended in the Good Pub Guide, Good Beer Guide and Alastair Sawday pub guide. Enough said! Always a favourite when visiting Exeter. Another attraction is the short menu, usually a guarantee for quality. If you want plastic food off the conveyor belt/the cash...

Friendly staff. The menu is very limited, so much so that after buying a drink we left. Just 4 items on the menu. Fish, Belly of Pork, or vegetarian dish.

Was looking for somewhere close to eat for the Holiday inn express on Tudor Street. This was a mere 6 minutes away. Hoped walk in be ok and it was. Mix of groups here some might be visitors like us most local. That was a good sign and we duly ordered couple with some west country ciders norcott fruit cider new to us and a Cornish haze. Starters were homemade soup and halloumi fries. Excellent and well presented. Mains were vegetable pie with mash and the other sausage and mash. Comforting and quite substantial meals. In fact the pie is very substantial. So much so no dessert was needed. Great staff here very friendly and definitely one to return to

A rather average dining experience. My partner was disappointed at the lack of vegan options. I found it all hard work with staff dressed in silly comedy visors. I won’t be rushing back.

Planned to come and visit next week as a pre Christmas treat. However since the pub has made its stance on vaccines clear we will be avoiding like the plague

Having visited a number of years ago I was really looking forward to some of the delicious pork dishes - that sadly no longer exist here.The food selection is much smaller and much less interesting then before. What remains is uninteresting and over priced for what it is.For the same money they charge for their food there are much better and far more interesting places to eat in Exeter.The staff were good and the service was fine but The Fat Pig has completely lost its old identity. It is now not much more than an overpriced "hipster" option in a sea of much more interesting offerings.

We visited our daughter at the university and took her and her housemates out for Sunday Lunch. We were a large group ( including our dog) and we were made so welcome. Most of us opted for the excellent roast beef and all the trimmings and the vegetarian with us very much enjoyed her choice. Puddings included sticky toffee pudding, cheese and chocolate parfait and peace broke out across the table as we savoured every mouthful! This is a very dog friendly pub and we fell in love with the enormous, gentle pub dog who came to check on us from time to time. This is a brilliant, friendly pub with delicious food and a great choice of ales and ciders. It deserves to do well and we will return.

We went to The Fat Pig as it had top reviews as a place to eat in Exeter. Thinking it may be fully booked, we arrived and 5pm, when it opened and ordered drinks. The interior is warm and contemporary and all the tables filled quickly. It is also ideally situated for dinner before events at the Corn Exchange. The menu was straight forward and my friends ordered pork burgers and I had duck breast with red cabbage, red wine sauce and potato. The portions were generous and exceeded my expectation by far. Often menus exaggerate but this said what was coming in clear plain English. Two duck breasts came (free range from Devon) and red cabbage and a block of a potato dish and a gravy like sauce. Tasty, satisfying and nutritious, there was no room for pudding. They also had Sandford Cider, ales, lagers and a Rioja red wine, as this is a Freehouse not part of a brewery. I'll definitely go there when next in Exeter. The staff all worked extremely hard with one person front of house, who ensured we got served drinks, cutlery and food as quickly as possible alongside the other punters. .

I cannot rate this pub enough. The staff are always welcoming and make a place for me. Always know what I want, and sometimes my pints poured even before I walk in the door :-) Truly guys - it's a Cheers pub come true... Everybody knows my name ,/`(+.+)`\,Great food. Excellent Chef ~ Grace who recently stood in whilst Beth is having her baby is wonderful. Love it love it love itWarm, friendly, authentic, traditional yet modern too!!! And Tiny, his wife Nancy and the staff always play an excellent selection of music. Great stuff

Lovely place great food and service, impeccable loos very rainy!! What else can I say! Blah blah blah still not 100 charactershaha!

Great pub, dog friendly, craft beers and top food, all rounded off with friendly staff and a sound atmosphere. More people need to know about your wonderful food pub 😄

Another 5 stars following my review of the 22 August. What more can I say? Great pub. Great food. Great team. Short menu, essential for quality. Seek it out and don't be put off by the location, in itself usually a guarantee for the best!🇬🇧🇳🇿

Not been here for a while, but was so nice to revisit on Sunday. Very warm welcome, pub was spotless. Had a fabulous roast (albeit only one slice of beef, could have done with at least 2). The veg was cooked to perfection, and the fondant potato was the best I've ever tasted. Really great beer selection (so the guys tell me), and a lovely rose for me.

We turned up not expecting to get a table as there was a booking of 20 taking priority. The staff and management were fantastic. Seated us at a table on the proviso to order before the large party. Food and service was exceptional. This makes me even more want to move to Exeter. Thank you so much for a memorable evening. We will definitely be returning.

Went for Sunday lunch with my brother and sister in law and my two teenage boys, we had very nice table in a sort of alcove area which was good for me as I have a hearing impairment and it is an animated atmosphere [in a good way but slightly difficult if you can't hear very well!].The service was SUPER friendly and our Sunday lunches turned up up very quickly after ordering. Dietary requirements [no carbs] were obligingly met and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the roast chicken and particularly liked the veg that came with it, especially the kale as I don't have this at home.The puddings and cheese board also went down very well. I had the chocolate parfait - aka chocolate mousse with pistachio chantilly cream and a slab of honeycomb.Best of all dogs [because I love taking my dogs everywhere with me!] are welcomed with open arms and the pub dog is a gentle star.Access-wise there's one small step into the main entrance [where the bar is] but the toilets are more of a challenge if you have a mobility impairment [as I do] as they are up a rather steep flight of stairs with a rope handrail.The toilet situation is a bummer as otherwise I'd be making this my go-to local!

Back at this wonderful pub. As is often the case the best places are kept off the beaten track up a grotty side street. Atmospheric and ancient pub. Lush pig burger. Perfectly cooked cow steak. Amazing chips, crunchy with fluffy centres. Said chips remained as such even after cooling. Porn food. Short menu which bodes well. Great beers and good wines. Tap water brought to the table. Very Aotearoa. Perfect host who upon a late request contacted me during the day to say a space for two had become available. Attentive and pleasant team. Thankyou so much.

I came here with my family last Sunday for a roast dinner and I will go as far as to say it was the best Sunday roast I have had in a pub. Cosy setting, nice background music, friendly owners and some great beers on offer. I will most definitely be returning.

A superb food pub in the centre of Exeter. It’s not a quiet pub but the food is phenomenal. We had the risotto and the pork burger. Both homemade and both delicious. The staff are both very friendly and helpful. Prices are not cheap but with the quality of the food they are exceptional value. The desserts were equally great, the posset tans the parfait were both tasty and luxurious. The brewed on the premises beers are also very good. We found it by chance but will happily eat here again. It is a true hidden gem that deserves to do well. Thank you, it was a great experience.

Simply lovely food in a beautiful little pub near the centre of Exeter with the friendliest staff. Highly recommended.

Have loved this pub on our last two visits to Exeter !Tonight we ate here too …….. amazing! Can not recommend this enough !Steak, Pork Burger & Monkfish linguine with mussel carbonara were all fantastic!Lets hope city do not soil the weekend!

Friendly pub with good beer and tasty pork burgers. We arrived quite early (5pm) but most tables were already booked. The beer and wine was excellent and the pork burgers were very good. Would visit again.

Lovely place to eat and drink at. Food excellent. Nice place tucked away from busy parts of the town. Talking to I think the owner. Friendly man. We shared a convo of 80's music. Depeche Mode and a few others. Made my day. I had fish and chips. I ate it all excellent food...... Thankyou...

The welcoming was very warm and the cuisine amazing !! We really loved the whole experience and the duck breast was astonishing. I really recommend this place .

The sample room Exeter st Thomas are great polite, welcoming and cheerful great for a pint or two Glad to see you back open

Wonderful atmosphere even in the difficult circumstances we are all going through.The menu like most restuarants at the moment was very limited however we both had the fish pie that was outstanding.I look forward to visiting again juring more normal times.Definetely a Pub with home brewed beer and lovely food, rather than purely a restuarant but we weren't disappointed.Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Tiny the owner was so helpful before we arrived in Exeter. We booked a week before for 6pm. Easy to find, ambiance great, all measures in place for covid and more. Staff were lovely, helpful and food was excellent, no rushing, stayed all evening. All three of us highly recommend it.

One of the best roast lunches I’ve ever had. Slow cooked beef... all the trimmings... sweet roast beetroot. Beers brewed on the premises, with a great selection of wines too. Fantastic service. Landlord couldn’t have been more welcoming. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if in Exeter.

Visité este lugar después de tropezar con él mientras buscaba en el conocido motor de búsqueda escrito con una 'G'De todos modos, comencé con el Best Bitter, que estaba lleno de sabor a pesar de su fuerza de cerveza de sesión, con el Stout que estaba encendido y estaba muy bueno, luego pedí comida, el cerdo desmenuzado en un panecillo brioch con chips en una olla pequeña separada, este fue excelente, las papas fritas estaban calientes y se mantuvieron calientes hasta que se comió la última, luego procedí a seguir con la IPA negra elaborada localmente, que fue genial,En general, excelente comida y excelente cerveza, un poco más caras que las cucharas, pero la calidad lo refleja y valió la pena el costo.Finalmente una palabra sobre el personal, muy atento y amable.Es muy probable que vuelva a visitarlo. . eso es si puedo conseguir una mesa! Este lugar estaba lleno cuando me fui y ocupado cuando llegué

Visité este maravilloso pub durante estos extraños Covid 19 veces. Lo primero que hay que decir es que el lugar era lo más seguro posible de Covid: reservamos con anticipación para que se cumplieran todos los criterios de seguimiento y localización, y las precauciones habituales (desinfectantes de manos, sistema unidireccional, servicio de mesa solo, uno en uno en los baños y el personal usando visores de cara completa, etc.) estaban en su lugar y fueron observados por los clientes durante nuestra estadía.Al llegar nos acompañaron a nuestra mesa y nuestra orden de bebidas fue tomada. El casero nos trajo menús y se detuvo a charlar como si fuéramos habituales, lo que nos tranquilizó de inmediato. El menú era, presumiblemente, limitado debido al virus (actualmente abre a las 5 pm) y constaba de unos 5 entrantes, 3 platos principales (lomo de cerdo, bistec o ratatouille la noche que estuvimos allí) y 3 o 4 postres. Ambos elegimos el lomo de cerdo (servido con bubble & squeak con salsa holandesa. A mi pareja no le gustó la salsa, pero el chef le preguntó si prefería la salsa gravy y ella aceptó alegremente la jarra individual que enviaron. El cerdo era excelente y suculenta y muy magra y la salsa holandesa fue un gran acompañamiento.La burbuja y el chirrido se hicieron usando papas asadas adecuadas con trocitos de tocino crujiente, ¡delicioso!Mi compañero todavía encontró espacio para el crumble casero de manzana y mora con helado, mientras que yo estaba perfectamente feliz con mis pintas de Black Boar IPA, una cerveza oscura elaborada en el local. El ambiente también fue de mi agrado ya que la música de fondo (no demasiado fuerte) parecía ser 2 de mis favoritos personales, ¡The Clash & the Cure!Sin duda, lo más destacado de nuestro par de noches en Exeter para mí.

El pub era pequeño y acogedor y lo suficientemente antiguo con comida excelente. He pagado mucho más dinero en cenas de negocios por comida que no era tan buena.Vi críticas negativas aquí. Debieron haber cambiado el chef, fue genial.Había 3 entrantes para elegir, 3 platos principales, uno 'regular; uno libre de glotones y uno vegano y 3 postres. No es un menú fijo, pero la elección se limita a producir la calidad del producto.Las opciones eran bistec, lomo de cerdo o opción vegetariana. No vengas aquí a cenar por hamburguesas, patatas fritas y alitas de pollo.Tenía un buen precio por la calidad.Un montón de buena cerveza real para elegir.

The food was truly amazing, service superb and the ale was first class. Will definitely be going again next time we are in Exeter.

Un par de habitantes de la ciudad de Brighton “Glamping” en Dawlish en un fin de semana lluvioso y muy húmedo de agosto, estábamos desesperados por encontrar un lugar agradable y cálido para comer cerca. Después de haber probado la cocina local no tan buena, nos embarcamos en Exeter City. Buscamos en Google “Hipster Pubs & Craft beer in Exeter & The Fat Pig apareció. Nos arriesgamos y llamamos para conseguir una mesa. Estuvimos encantados de que pudieran acomodar a 2 humanos empapados y su perro con poca antelación (1 hora). En el pub en sí: el personal era fabuloso, la cerveza local era excelente y el menú de comida, aunque pequeño debido a COVID, era increíble. Ninguno de nosotros somos vegetarianos, sin embargo, elegimos el principal de ñoquis, que era increíble y sin duda volveremos si volvemos al oeste, ¡un lugar encantador! Muy recomendable, gracias al personal.

We visited on a rainy saturday night in February, and were lucky enough to get a table.Place was buzzing, and the atmosphere and music was just right for us.Had a couple of pints of their home brewed beer which was excellent, and the food although a very small menu was lovely. Would recommend a visit when you are in Exeter

Good pub, decent food and pleasant atmosphere. Conveniently placed if you want to visit Red House Mysteries and go for a meal afterwards.

A real gem, excellent food and great service. If it had been open on a Sunday evening we’d have gone two nights in a row! Small menu but excellent quality. A must visit if staying in Exeter.

Lovely hidden pub with a wonderful atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was very good on a busy valentines Friday evening. Compact but nice selection of dishes, very tasty and obviously homemade. Some customers seem to have other dishes from a different menu maybe? (We saw guests with burgers - which weren’t on the menu given to us) Only short of 5 stars because it felt like the food needed a little fine tuning and the toilets could do with a little attention. Brilliant visit, would definitely recommend and will be back. Thank you to all the staff for an enjoyable evening.

I love this place. Not too busy but good atmosphere. Good range of beers and the food is really very, very, good.

The staff are friendly and very helpful , the city pub atmosphere is contemporary yet comfy and the food choice is simple but enough with big meaty dishes and at least a veggie alternative . Usually rich and unctuous I've not been disappointed .Good choice of own brewed and other beer , gins and whiskies

Great beers, really friendly staff and a warm doggie welcome with bar treats awaits customers in this city centre pub. Although hidden away down a side street, this place always seems to have customers and is well worth searching out for a local beer and a bar snack. Definitely recommended if you like real ale and ciders in a friendly environment.

Dog & human friendly! If you don't like dogs around food, this is not the place for you, however, I don't mind. Food delicious, atmosphere good.

Nos reunimos con amigos para el almuerzo el sábado, el barman fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir realmente bienvenidos. Algunas cosas bastante inusuales en el menú, por ejemplo, scrumpet de pato. Tuve el chile y el arroz que era encantador. También tuvimos un pan de hinojo casero increíble. El ambiente era genial y el vino de la casa realmente bueno. ¡Pasamos la mayor parte de la tarde allí!

Stopped off in here for a light supper and a great selection of real ales. All the staff were professional, attentive and obviously enjoying their work. We had a couple of the starters and puds, all very tasty and well priced. Will be sure to revisit and also try the mains, which all looked nice and a varied menu. Great atmosphere, well attended by locals as well as others. Many thanks to all for our enjoyable visit.

Came here recently for some food . I had a mushroom lasagne. The lasagne itself was mediocre but I was shocked to see it accompanied by horrible garlic mayo ( the sort you’d find in a kebab shop), bought in chips and frozen peas. I paid £16.50 for this meal which is extortionate for what it was. Service wasn’t amazing either. I just need recognition that would I ate was not ok . I don’t wish to upset anyone but I know it’s not that hard to make aioli and homemade chips. I didn’t hate the food I just wasn’t happy with the price. It needed more finesse. If you make the effort then you can charge that much

We ate here on Wednesday night. It's a great pub with a lively, cheerful atmosphere and lovely staff. The food was delicious. I had the pork tenderloin and my husband had the lasagne. The beer and cider were good too. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice local scene, staff of local businesses drink here, food's not cheap but decent, good beer selection, friendly and competent staff.

Dinner with my friend. Very lovely welcome. A fabulous selection of gin!! Our food was amazing. Read the reviews on here and decided to find the place and we were not disappointed. The pork belly in the bun was amazing.!! My friend enjoyed The tagliatelle. Highly recommend

Had an amazing meal here last night and would highly recommend the tagliatelle - it was delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere and decor was fab.

The welcome and service was impeccable, great banter. The beer is sublime and the gins are superb. But better than all of this is the food, every mouthful absolutely stunning. Bravi.

Absolutely outrageously good food! The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming, the staff are friendly and always up for a good chat ☺️ The selection of gin (that they distill themselves!) is by far my new favourite. 10/10 💛💛

We came for a mid week dinner during grad week. Despite the name, The Fat Pig has several vegetarian and vegan options. The scallops and caponata starter was perfectly cooked and the caponata delicious, really vibrant flavours. The Spanish-style croquetas were “just ok”, nothing special. The lamb couscous was very tasty, so too the pulled pork sandwich with Chili Mayo. The highlight

Just dropped into this pub yesterday after shopping in Exeter as it looked friendly. We wish we hadn't bothered now! Guess how much for one and a half pints of beer shandy? £8.80! What?? :(

The food was really good and a varied menu. The staff were funny and joined in our humour and laughs. Very relaxed atmosphere would definitely go again.

First time visit with friends. Limited menu, no beef option for a roast! Had the lamb, less fat on a beached whale, cold potatoes and undercooked potatoes. Some poor excuse for gravy. Could have complained but why should I, should have got it right the first time. Honestly go to Toby carvery instead. Half the price, twice the food. Lovely staff is the only reason for 2 stars

Sunday lunch as it should be ! Chicken with fantastic bread sauce , wonderful mix of spring vegetables and delicious roast potatoes & Yorkshire pudding. Lovely , attentive staff & an excellent selection of beers & wine. What’s not to like !

Visitamos hoy para el almuerzo del domingo, pedimos carne de res y pollo, la comida llegó y estaba cubierta de aceite y albahaca en frío, no se asaban papas recién hervidas, nuevamente cubiertas de aceite y albahaca, a mi esposa le sirvieron la opción vegetariana en lugar de pollo, No quería esperar por una nueva comida, así que la comió de todos modos, le devolvieron el costo de la cena, pero eso no compensa, ya que fue horrible, absolutamente decepcionado no volverá. . . Tal diferencia de la última vez, vergüenza como las grandes cervezas.

Just a few dishes but really grateful and well done. The bar had also a nice and cosy atmosphere with their own beer on tap. Recommend it +++

A wide selection of very nice beer, most we sampled in our group. The duck koftas were amazing with the Asian slaw!

We had a fab dinner here last night. The black pudding potato cakes were delicious. The staff were really friendly and service excellent. Would DEF go back for more!!...

Try the home brew beer :dark and amber. Dark one is tasteful. Amber is good to complement roast lamb pie which is excellent.

This is one of my favourite places to go in Exeter. The staff are brilliant; always friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely amazing and I love the drinks. Definitely a place to visit in Exeter.

When I turned-up for a bite to eat on Sunday lunchtime with my 2 newborn children the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we had all we needed and space for the pram. The food we had was exceptionally good (vegi and pork roast and a cheese board). The atmosphere in the pub was friendly and the prices very reasonable.

Having not been since the refurb we were looking forward to our lunch. We were made very welcome when we arrived, they even found some colouring pens and paper for our kids. The roasts were great, it’s unusual to find a roast lamb where the lamb is cooked properly! I made a mistake in ordering, but they were more than happy to sort out my mistake for me. Will certainly be returning soon!
