Pig and Pickle Micropub in Exeter

A couple days ago my mate Vince took me to the Pig & Pickle. What a great little micropub! The beer selection was excellent and had something for everyone and every taste. Steve at the bar was very helpful and a nice lad. If I would live closer to the Pig & Pickle that would be MY PUB. I will definitely come back next time and I can highly recommend this micropub to all beer lovers!

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers which changed regularly. Quirky decor and friendly bar staff. One of our favourite places to go for a drink.

Friendly, lively and a good welcome, great evening had by all.

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 it’s too late.

Beautiful interior and great selection of craft beers on cask, keg and in bottle or can. Local and further afield. Cider available and owner friendly and knowledgeable. Big spirit selection too. Well worth scaling the hill!

Current guidelines are followed, no hanging around at the bar, everyone was nicely spaced out and a good vibe with decent music. Beer's not cheap these days so you want to make sure you enjoy it when you do go out. Lovely selection of on-tap beers and ciders, even more lovely were some of the bottles and cans chilled down. Something for everyone, all contactless payments (even before CV19), tracked and traced via simple email instructions on the bar. Small seating area out front but fine for the smokers. An important local gem we must all continue to support.

Great local real pub. Seemed to have a good range of Keg beers, only 1 cask, hence the 4 stars, not 5. Keystones Large one was well presented, had 2 to make sure of the quality. 😂. Would go back when I'm next in Exeter.

Great little micropub! 🍺 It's got a surprisingly huge array of local and not so local ales, largers, ciders and more, on tap and in bottles. The pub itself is a small but atmospheric one, with a great choice of music in the background and photos on the walls.It's a shame it's not more central to Exeter Centre, but it's a great addition to Heavitree, and if I had a little more money, it would be a place I would be at more oftenCheers 🍺S

Fun, friendly, great bar staff who make you very welcome. Plenty of choice of ales but not much if you enjoy lager. Whisky lover? you will be very happy here! Dropped one star as I find the level of music a bit too high.Definitely recommend a visit here if you haven't been before.

Good beer and wonderfully quirky. Visited here several times, always impressed by the range of beers on offer and the insightful staff. Great for a quick drink or two, not too far from the city centre which actually means that it's a bit more chilled out. Would definitely recommend.
