The Thatched House Pub in Exeter

Popped in today (Sunday) for a carvery. The food was delicious, fabulous range of vegetables and potatoes, with tender meats. Very friendly, accommodating staff. Prices very reasonable. Our dog even enjoyed a little bowl of meat trimmings! Thank you very much. We will be back the next time we are passing through 🥰

Have hardly been made to feel more at home. The friendliest staff imaginable. They put on a great Sunday roast and the bread pudding is to die for!

We had lunch here for our wedding aniversary and it was great. The food was exelent and so was the service. They had a really good specials bored and every thing was cooked fresh. Very friendly staff too and the pub had a really relaxed atmosphear. We will be back again soon :)

This restaurant had the usual pub food with several specials of the day. The restaurant is a bit out of the centre area of the city, so prices were reasonable. We all enjoyed our meals and service (Carly) was great. Carly adds a lot of atmosphere to the place.

The service was amazing and the food was absolutely lovely, it arrived promptly and tasted delicious! The prices are also very reasonable given the quality. Will definitely return!

This was such a lucky find! At the end of a very long and tiring day, we popped in here for a quick drink. What a lovely, welcoming pub it is. We ended up ordering food, which was absolutely delicious. Carly and Richard were so very attentive and provided the very best service. Thank you for a really lovely evening.

What an amazing find, we were dropping our Son at Uni. Google had led us here, so pleased it did. Such a warm & friendly welcome, from booking table to then changing this to an hour later. The couple running the Pub never stopped they served meals, drinks and chatted to everyone as well. Food delicious & plentiful, the service was excellent. Proper Pubs are hard to find & this is a true gem. Thank you both, We will be back.

A proper pub with great food, brilliant service and a community feel. Attentive and friendly staff make this a really special place and an asset to our great city.

Excellent pub with great service and wonderful food of a wide variety. Fantastic

Fantastic food, extremely dog friendly , great customer service highly recommended. Just wish you were near to my home. Thank you

Amazing food and service definitely coming back.

The best Sunday roast in the city! The choice of meat is great! Veggies are perfectly cooked. Prices are reasonable 😍

This place does an amazing carvery on a Sunday. Came here with a friend for lunch and felt welcomed from the start. Pub is quaint and it was really well priced at £14.50 for a carvery

An excellent Carvery and good value for money. Staff were very nice & courteous. Only negative was the difficulty in parking

Great service and carvery. Been here around a dozen times and staff always friendly. Nice atmosphere and nice beer garden area in summer.

Great classic pub in Exeter with a lovely buffet roast dinner on Sundays. Staff are very friendly and tentative. Great selection of drinks. Food is brilliant any day of the week.

First class carvery best I have had for a long time just like a home cooked meal. Plenty of choice of meats and vegetables. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. Thank you.

It was a beautiful experience. The food, service, atmosphere, all perfect. Rich the manager went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. He's great at his job and we truly appreciated it on a night out celebrating. Thank you all. We highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic pub with really friendly staff and great food! A fun pub quiz on a Wednesday night. Overall a great experience

Lovely pub, food, service, people and venue. So happy this is my local. Come here on the regular and it is always a welcome and friendly vibe. Food is yum and cost effective. Number 1 in Exeter. Thanks guys :) x

Brilliant food, service and ambience. A pub with at least 4 real ankles and 2 real ciders plus all the usual keg beers. A good wine menu too. Well deserved ratings, and CAMRA pub of the year 2023 as well!

Warm welcome anytime. A fantastic local with great food and top beers . Staff are amazing and the events are always loads of fun . There are quizzes, live music, themed evenings or quiet drinks with friends. 💯

Really nice atmosphere, recommend sitting near the fire, and Richard was very nice and did not mind answering our questions. Only minor points - food took a while and the cauli starter was very small - but the mains were excellent and freshly made so definitely worth waiting for. The borscht was delicious, the Thatch burger was absolutely out of this world and the pork belly was very tasty. Lunch and drinks for three of us came to sixtyish quid without desserts which is more than reasonable. We'll definitely be back!!

We celebrated New Year's with friends in this pub. Great atmosphere, friendly staff left a pleasant impression. I recommend visiting this place

Excellent pub, open fires, good selections of drinks. What more could you want?

Great selection of drinks, food lovely , staff very welcoming and they put on great evenings of entertainment, specialist food and drink nights are fabulous.

Went here today with family and first time…really nice carvery,4 meats beef, pork,gammon and turkey.there was crackling pigs n blankets just extra special s.i had the 4 meats and omg I have never had so much meat on my plate! The whole family left so much meat and the waitress gave me a tub to take it home for my dog Roxy. The staff were lovely and made you feel welcome.i would definitely come back again and soon I hope! And I would highly recommend this experience to my friends and work colleagues.it may be a small carvery outlet but it’s more comfy and cosy than those larger carvery places that skimp on the meat,this place do not ! Well done staff at the thatched.x

We have driven past this pub many times but never got around to going in - we finally booked for Sunday carvery and we are very glad we did! Fabulous friendly and very efficient service, excellent food and a lovely atmosphere what more could you want. We will definitely be back again soon.

First time here for Sunday lunch and it certainly didn’t disappoint!! Beautiful food, choice of four meats on the carvery! Lovely fresh veggies too! Thank you Cameron!! Staff were amazing, friendly and chatty! Great service from Richard and Natalia! ⭐️ We have definitely found our new favourite place here! Well done to you all! ⭐️

Cannot rate the Thatch highly enough! Had my 50th Birthday meal there last night and as usual the food and service were amazing! Carly cannot do enough for you, serving us drinks and checking everything was ok. My steak was cooked to perfection as was all the food. Eaten here many times and always our go to place. Would not have had my 50th birthday celebrations anywhere else!!

Great traditional pub, friendly and attentive team, delicious food. Recommend booking on Wednesdays due to the quiz and Sundays for their roasts

I am so glad we looked at reviews for a good roast in Exeter and chose The Thatched House. Really friendly and efficient staff who went out of their way to look after us. Good value carvery at £13.95 with everything you want and the chatty friendly Chef allowed me to have all 4 meats which were all really good. A constructive criticism was that some of the veg could maybe a little warmer (or hotter gravy) and it would be a 10 out of 10. Great place, great staff. Thank you.

Dogs are allowed. Friendly staff 👍 over cooked gammon but I was still happy to eat it 🙂. But good overall 🎉 I’ll definitely be back.

The current owners are trying a bit to hard to make this an upmarket gastropub when it always used to function best as a down to earth, spit and sawdust drinking establishment.

Very nice food. Good quality, nicely cooked meat. Good gravy. Nice selection of vegetables. Good service. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Fantastic venue for our mum’s 90th. We were a crowd of 12. Staff were lovely, Sunday carvery was delicious and very reasonable.We couldn’t have asked for more !

Amazing pub quiz. Especially enjoyed their new quizmaster Justin who brought the evening to life. Can't imagine anyone else doing it.

Best Sunday dinner I've ever had, amazing pub and had a feeling it was gonna be an overpriced small portion pub... how wrong was my forst impression... amazing! 👏

Stopped off for a sunday carvery on the way to cornwall, it was absolutely delicious, and the staff were chatty and friendly. Service was spot on, well done everyone at the thatched house

We visited the thatched house for their Macmillan coffee morning. We had great homemade cakes and coffee. We stayed for lunch and were impressed with their food and real ales. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We will visit again.

We visited the Thatched House for my Birthday as it was central for us all to meet up from Beer, Plymouth and Bristol. We chose it as it was wheelchair accessible and dog friendly. A huge shout out to Cameron who was just wonderful. We were running late but you were so patient, allowed us to sample a couple of beers and made sure we were all doing okay. The food was great and the choice of beers top notch! Thanks so much to the team!

Nice local pub often pop in for a pint and a sneaky vodka Food is not bad and hopefully they prosper

We had the pleasure of eating here a couple of weekends ago. Absolutely delighted with the standard of service and the food. We generally only have starters and mains as we find the desserts offered in other places to be poor value for money and very unimpressive. At The Thatched House however we couldn’t resist a dessert when the waitress came over with the dessert board. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

We visited after a couple of recommendations, after a walk along the quay. We were there at lunchtime on Sunday and it was busy with a good atmosphere and there were enough friendly and efficient staff. We had the carvery with a choice of four meats and fresh and tasty vegetables and delicious roasties and Yorkshire puddings. Vegetarian options were also available including quite a few on the main menu. We were too full for pudding but there was a wide range that looked very tasty so we’ll look forward to returning to try them!

Excellent service from Carley and very tasty meal. Plenty of choice on standard menu and special board. Great value. Will visit again.

The Thatched House has been named CAMRA Exeter and East Devon Pub of the Year, and it's easy to see why. It offers an ever-changing range of ales and ciders all kept to the highest standards, a varied menu of excellent quality food, and superb service from Paul, Nataliya, and the staff. Come along on Wednesday night for the best pub quiz in Exeter!

Amazing pub, great staff, triffic food, large range of drinks, top atmos!

Great food served by pleasant patient staff. We enjoy the Quiz nights and snacks. My Adult son is very hard of hearing and told Paul who managed to get him nearer to a table at the front. We Also love the choice of food and take Relatives there when they visit from other regions and abroad. We love Nelson,Cameron, Natalia and very pleasant serving staff.

Lovely roast,reasonably priced,bit thought the desserts were expensive for the portion size.Nice outside part,if the weathers good

Beautiful food served by great people

All had steak Everyone loved it and all plates left empty I would say the steak was done as requested and tasted fantastic Also cam the bar man was a good host

Fantastic dog friendly pub, very welcoming to all especially your 4 legged friend. Service was fantastic and the food just as good empty plates all round. Highly recommend.

We just had drinks only. Nice cosy and quiet place.

Went for food with my partner and 2 boys and chose the Thatched House after hearing great things and we certainly wasn't disappointed service was efficient, friendly and overall just brilliant and food was equally amazing me and my partner had the beef stew (on...

Super lieu avec un vraie atmosphère de pub, nous y sommes allées le jour où il y avait un quiz, l'ambiance était géniale Le personnel est adorable et la cuisine délicieuse

My family range from avid meat eaters to vegans to vegetarians and some being gluten free too, so a hard bunch to keep happy!. Plus we have a dog in tow and a 4 year old. The Thatched House had everything to please everyone. It...

Amazing place, very tasty food, I’ve never had such an delicious cheesecake! Definitely come back again! Super service!

Great little local.. excellent atmosphere... fabulous service...choice of beer and wine and lovely food ...what more do you want? ❤️❤️

Fabulous food, service & lovely lady making sure that everything was good for us. The food portions were large & tasty. Didn’t take our dog but it is dog friendly which is always a plus. I’ve heard the carvery is very good too so will...

Great food, beautifully cooked, amazing customer service and lovely bar staff, with a great changing selection of real ales

Went for Mother’s Day. We had a lovely carvery. Every thing was spotless. Lovely friendly staff . Service was great

Very well hosted country pub with excellent choice of food and drink . The staff were very friendly and attentive . We asked about ved choices and were provided with great selection very tasty food ...Nice portions!

Carribbean night, what a wonderful night, six course taster menu with drinks , all absolutely wonderful. Themed nights here are fab, we have done three all fab. Natalya and Paul work so hard to make things different and fun, thank you!!

Can you find a better pub in Exeter? Probably not!! We moved into the area 6 months ago and go to the Wednesday quiz which is fun. We have also just attended “Caribbean night” which was so much fun!! Incredible Food, yummy drinks, laughs and...

I went for the Caribbean night with some friends and had such a good night. For only £22 we had 6 courses and 6 drinks. We had such a laugh. It was a great atmosphere, great food and brilliant service.

Amazing place, amazing food, a friendly environment, and the best Borsch I ever had 😅😊😊😊💙💛 Will definitely come again

Really like this local pub. Hope it's not rude to say don't expect a perfectly polished gastro pub type vibe, it's a bit rough around the edges (in the nicest way possible)..but what speaks most about it is just a really nice atmosphere, friendly staff, nice fun bunch of locals inside.

Great Sunday Lunch.Good choice of meat and vegetables. Good atmosphere. First time and will definitely go again. Service was exemplary.

Great food staff very friendly reccomend

What a wonderful little pub! Tucked away just outside Exeter, this little gem has a fantastic range of food and a good atmosphere. As a celiac, I am somewhat nervous around eating out but the staff here wholeheartedly reassured/guided me and I ended up having a wonderful gluten free meal. I didn't manage to get our hostess' name but she was able to chat me through the whole process and made sure the kitchen was aware of my allergy. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out the front in the sunshine. I would 100% return again!

Great atmosphere. Delicious food. A really great community asset. The landlady and team are just lovely. I always enjoy my visits here.

Brilliant food, great prices and absolutely lovely staff will definitely be making this a regular visiting place

This is our second visit to the Thatched House and it was again a lovely relaxing meal. We were made to feel very welcome by the super-friendly lady behind the bar. We have 2 coeliac teenagers and this venue is fantastic for gluten free options,...

Lovely Sunday carvery. Nice selection, all fresh. Good service even though it was really busy.

Probably the best pub in Exeter!

Well...just brilliant from start to finish. Shown to table, drinks brought over, carvery cards given out. Local real ale top condition. Four different meats and lovely vegetables brilliant price. Can have smaller/vegan/ veggie if you want. Pudding- wanted all on the chalkboard. Went for cheesecake....

Superb ales and very friendly staff and clientele.

It's wonderful to see a small independent, local pub thriving. I first discovered the delights of the Thatched House during a group Christmas meal last December. However, we are new weekly regulars. Having decided to try out the pub quiz one evening, we were made...

A lovely pub, I've very much enjoyed our visits on a Wednesday evening for their pub quiz, and will be visiting again soon for a good post work catch up. It gives the feel of what some people describe as a 'proper' pub, that's also friendly to new faces and the staff are great at their jobs 👌

We visited The Thatched House for a quick 'half' on Saturday evening and were welcomed with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the like of which is often sadly lacking in pubs these days. The well kept ale was enjoyed in a hostelry which keeps the ambience of an English country pub in a city suburb. Very much looking to visiting again. Thankyou for a lovely visit.

The best Sunday carvery in town. And, there is often a little bowl of meat for the dogs. The pub is also excellent with allergies.

I love this place. Everytime I return I remember what a great pub it is. Paul and Nataliya and their staff are fab. It hads a lovely local vibe, balanced with friendliness to strangers. The food is always great. The menu always has reliable favourites, alongside more adventurous options that are interesting, current and tasty. There's a resident cat called napoleon which is the icing on the cake.

Brilliant Mother's Day lunch. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere and excellent price.

From a lovely welcoming to a fond farewell, a lovely luncheon on Mother’s Day. Will definitely be returning when next in Exwick

All of the staff were very approachable and friendly. The Carvery was well laid out, very appetising to look at and tasted delicious, lovely deserts. The toilet were very clean . A lovely treat for me . We will definitely eat here again and bring...

On Sunday 12 March we had a lovely meal, a proper carvery, with homecooked, delicious food, very reasonably priced with a choice of a large or small plate. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great and the overall experience was very homely and welcoming....

Staying locally we popped in on Saturday evening for drinks and a meal. We received a warm welcome and were shown available tables. The table service was efficient and friendly. A good knowledge and selection of beers on tap. Food was hot, tasty and served...

From phoning to book a table at short notice to paying the bill, this was an excellent experience all round. The gentleman who served us was amazing and unbeknown to us there were some staff issues that evening but you truly wouldn't have known. We...

A warm and friendly welcome at every visit, with the most amazing food, keep up the great work.

Lovely pub with a great range of real ale. Landlord very freindly and helpful. Good range of food on the menu at reasonable prices although we were there to watch a band so didn't eat ourselves.

This is our local and we couldn't ask for a better one. Good beer, excellent Sunday carvery and menu of other dishes to choose from. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Paul and Nataliya work extremely hard to make everyone happy.

Most probably the best pub in Exeter. Great food and real ales. Friendly staff great atmosphere. MUST visit when in Exeter. Highly Recommended

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Plenty of seating and a good choice of beers and food. On the accessible E2 bus route

Great pub. Hope they open again on a Tuesday soon, the boys loved a beer after football.

so where do i start? came with my family for their sunday carvery, and was greeted with an awful stench of just must in the pub, then some loud obnoxious woman came and seated us at a sticky table, took our drinks with her loud...

Nice food, excellent service, thankyou will come again 😀

We were told to visit this place by our local hosts and we were not disappointed. Very friendly staff and customers and a nice range of real ales and fantastic cooked food. We were so impressed we went back again the following day!

I had to leave a review! Met local friends for Sunday roast which was good with great portions and lovely staff but what made it a standout visit was Carly our waitress. Carly was really on it and courteous but friendly and smiley and happy...

Great place! Great food! Great people! Wonderful family that run this hidden gem in Exeter! The Sunday Carvery was absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!

We have just had the most awesome Sunday carvery at this pub. A party of 6 with 2 dogs and I have to say it’s the most dog friendly pub we have visited, they even brought out a bowl of Sunday roast for our dogs...
