Food was very tasty, and staff were great. Only issue was that with it being a busy Friday, it was very packed and it felt a little squashed in

Great service. Very friendly atmosphere and good menu. Liked the food. Could do with more choice on coffee though... Just filter with hot or cold milk. Took a friend, first time she had been there and she thought the food was great. Brunch highly recommended.

Great food.... very friendly service and lovely atmosphere. They forgot our second drinks order but made up for it by knocking one drink off the bill - it certainly didn't affect our enjoyment of what was a very delicious meal.

Went Thursday night to this place, loved the look of it inside, thought great place to celebrate my sons birthday, my son and I both ordered ribs and pulled pork, looked delicious, he tucked into his and was enjoying it, I tucked into mine and it tasted horrible! Like cleaning product and perfume taste, my son tried mine and it put him off his, 3 others tried mine and said it tasted of cleaning product or something, I told the waitress it didn’t taste right, she took it away and basically told me, my son and mines was from the same batch and was nothing wrong with it🙈 she asked if I wanted anything else, I just said no thankyou, as the taste in my mouth left me feeling sick, it also took 3 asks to get a cola, we paid fully for the meal, no reduction was mentioned and I couldn’t be bothered to argue as just felt ill and couldn’t wait to leave, the only good thing was the chips but I started with the ribs and tried few chips but the horrible taste just remained, such a shame, definitely won’t be going back or recommending, they clearly don’t believe in customer always right!! Made me feel it was me, when in total 4 of us agreed something not right with mine

Breakfast was truly delicious. The staff create a very relaxed atmosphere. The decor is good fun and everything seems to be made from reclaimed materials. It was great that our dog was welcomed in.

Really good breakfast with a friendly atmosphere, works well for large groups and a very handy location at the far end of Topsham if meeting to walk up to Sandy Park. Would be amazing if they could facilitate a lift up there, (I thing they have done this in the past) but walking there are lots of pubs on route.

Good tasty food. Particularly if you love meat I would not recommend it to vegetarian people. Good range of beer and cider. Venison steak cooked well as were the ribs. Friendly and pleasant service. I would go again.

Terrific service appalling food and unbearably noisy. This wasn't the place for a quiet meal for two on a Saturday evening. All but two of the tables accommodated from 8 to about 20 diners and large parties were the order of the day. A shared starter of mixed barbecued meats was acceptable - though the pork ribs were very dry. But for mains we ordered one medium/well burger and one medium/rare - beth were equally dry and overcooked, all but inedible. Sorry folks, but, however delightful and helpful the waiter and waitress, it's about the food and we won't be returning.

Really yummy and good quality food. Waiting staff were all really friendly and helpful although we had to ask for dessert menu. No ice cream left for the desserts but they all tasted delicious without it anyway! Would definitely recommend for a casual night out with friends.

The starters were amazing however the sharing main course was a little disappointing. The ribs were a little too smoky for our liking and the short rib was a little dry. The service was incredible and would definitely go back again.

These pigs had the best send off possible. If I was a pig I'd happily end up here. Best ribs I've found anywhere nearby. Meat lovers paradise. Lovely smokey flavours but not over powering. Perfect!

We have been looking forward to experiencing a meal at the Pig & Pallet since we saw its owners interviewed on a BBC documentary about budding Devon food entrepreneurs. It lived up to expectation. The meat took centre stage and the sharing platter enabled us to sample a range ways in which it is prepared. It was delicious! All the meats were incredibly tender & succulent. The beef was the star of the show - a joy to be able to really taste the genuine flavour of the animal. We feel that the BBQ sauce was great but we would have preferred it to be served separately as it has an amazing flavour all of its own! It is so good to be able to eat in a relaxed 'informal' atmosphere, with welcoming staff and eating local produce, skilfully prepared. THANK YOU! Go on, give it a go!!! Booking online very easy B-)
