Pig & Pickle Micropub — Restaurant in Exeter

Contrary to the previous review, my experiences of this delightful pub have left me wondering if we were in the same place!

The Pig and Pickle is a great pub, it's the heart and soul of Heavitree. They have different, locally brewed beers and ciders on tap every week, a great selection of high quality wines and lots of non alcoholic options too, including soft drinks and a couple of non-alcoholic beers. They host a vinyl night on the first Thursday of every month which has an amazing atmosphere. Pizzas are available to order in on Thursdays and Fridays as well.

As for the owner's response to past reviews, I find it refreshing to witness someone unapologetically standing behind their establishment. It's evident they value authenticity and aren't afraid to defend their team when needed. In a world of generic apologies, it's a breath of fresh air to see a proprietor who knows their worth.

In conclusion, this pub is a gem where the only complex you might encounter is deciding which drink to enjoy next. As for me, it's a definite return, and I'll gladly navigate any supposed "hard passes" along the way. Cheers to a place that turns rudeness...

My experience from this micro pub is not a good one, the owner has some deep rooted issues, as he comes across very unhelpful and he gives you the impression he does not want to be there, or engage with the customers, he is reluctant to give any advice if you ask him about the beers or any of the alcoholic drinks on the board. I have never be served by such a rude person in my entire life, which does not make you feel comfortable or want to spend your hard earned money in there. I have noticed there are not a lot of customers when I go in there and I can see why due to the unwelcoming atmosphere from a grumpy owner. It is such a shame as it has so much potential and the beers and stouts are very nice, but I will be taking my custom to the Ship and Pelican as the staff are accommodating and friendly and you feel valued as a customer and that is where I will be spending my money in a friendly pub that appreciates their customers. Pubs cannot afford to lose their customers and 400 pubs have disappeared from communities in England and Wales, I think the owner needs to wake up and start valuing his customers before...
