Pig And Pallet

We visited here for a special birthday dinner last night, the service, food and atmosphere was simply amazing! The welcome was warm and friendly and the “Pig Crew” are all really enthusiastic about the food and drink they serve. Adam was excellent and made some amazing recommendations which did not disappoint. We enjoyed a rack of ribs and the BBQ meat platter for one which was by far, the best ribs, wings, sausage, pulled pork, chips, bread, slaw and pickle I have ever had. The additional Mac and Cheese was something really special. An amazing experience and one we are sure to repeat the next time we are in Exeter!

Great smokehouse with all the trimmings. Rustic look but don't get fooled, the food is right up there, reminded me of some of the US smokehouse. Rack of ribs falling apart; with BBQ sauce not too sweet, a hint of smokiness. Reuben sandwich was great. All sorts of chips/fries, we had a Poutine which was, again, perfect! All with some good beers/ciders, what's not to like. Will be back! Staff was nice, COVID precautions are in place

After having true Texas bbq in the heart of Texas, it's hard to find food that meets the same standard as the true american bbq. I have to say this place is as close as it gets, as a family we had the bbq platter, kids devon dog, loaded fries, and devon ruby Reuben sandwich. Firstly the meat: The pulled pork, ribs, pastrami and sausages were absolutely fantastic. Smoked perfectly and each had a distinct flavour which came through in the quality of the cooking. Loaded fries are a must! But beware I would recommend being prepared to not finish your meal because as amazing as they were I just couldn't finish them. Now let's talk about sauces: We ordered the hot pants chilli sauce and Texan bbq chilli sauce on the side, both were full of flavour and the hot sauce was as hot as described. Really reminded me of being back in Texas! For additional sides we had bbq beans and gravy included along with coleslaw , pickles etc. I cant comment on the coleslaw or pickles as they are not my thing but the bbq beans and gravy were also fantastic reminders of proper bbq cooking and smoking. Service: The waiting staff were attentive, helpful and smiling, they ensured we felt welcome and were checking in regularly enough to be great at what they do without it feeling too much that you felt they were watching your every breathe. All in all thank you Pig and pallet for a great meal and would happily pay the price you charge again for the quality and service.

Fantastic meal and great staff. Quirky building which adds to the experience. We needed gluten free food and the staff were very knowledgeable and no problems. Highly recommended

Highly recommend this place if you are near! I stayed in Topsham for a quiet weekend away, and couldn't resist checking out the Pig & Pallet as I'm from the states and love a good quality BBQ. This did not disappoint. I went all in for the platter so that I could sample a little of everything. The meats were flavourful and juicy, great chips, baked beans and slaw. I tried some of their house made hot sauce as well which blended well, did not overpower the other flavours but the heat was felt. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, even pointing me to good craft beer spots and more in the greater Topsham/Exeter area.

A great and popular restaurant with extremely friendly staff and amazing food and drinks. Make sure that you are hungry when you go because the portion sizes are extremely generous but value for money. If in the area I would definitely book again.

Visited The Pig and Pallet while on holiday in Topsham. Really enjoyed the food. We decided to share a rack of ribs, two starters, a side and some loaded fries. This was more than enough for my girlfriend and I. My one and only gripe is that although, overall, the service was good, one server in particular seemed very short with us and was slightly pushy. I get that people have bad days and having both worked in hospitality, we completely understand what it can be like. We were taking our time to decide what to eat and having come back to us a second time, the server was very blunt and said "can I take your food order now". Let's be honest, a simple "are you ready to order, and can I help you with deciding" is a much better way to speak to customers. At the end of the meal, we asked the left over food to be put in a doggy bag. Before our table was even clear the same sever asked us if she could bring our bill now. We actually wanted another drink so declined and had the drink before leaving. This may seem petty but the server was clearly off with us and we both commented on it almost instantly after they served us. Again, maybe they were just having a bad day, but that shouldn't spill over on to customers who are spending a lot of money to enjoy a meal out. Overall though, if we're ever in this part of the world again, we would definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone who wants some tasty food!

We came here for our anniversary dinner and it was absolutely incredible. I had a pulled pork burger with steak and peppercorn topped chips and my partner had a double beef burger with poutine topped chips. It was absolutely to die for. All of the staff were really friendly and we loved the way the place were decorated but the food was out of this world! Worth every single penny. The portion sizes were really generous too.

WOW just go. If your in Topsham and feeling pecking make the effort and get your self a table and porky treat! Superb food, lovely beer and fantastic service. Thanks!

Highly recommended! Great food, and great service! The team were great with dealing with my food allergies. Fantastic beers, wine and cocktails. Also have vegan and gluten free food options. Forgot to mention, they are also dog friendly 🐾 Can't wait for our next visit!
