Following a recent trip to the Thatch for a Sunday Carvery, I just had to put pen to paper & write my first TA review. The service was friendly, always with a smile and efficient. The food was amazing and great value for money. The meat was juicy and cooked perfectly and the roast potatoes were absolutely delicious. The veg... More

Very tradional pub that serves a carvery on a Sunday. Good idea to book as very busy, Staff very friendly. Food could be a bit better but for only £7 per person good value for money. Seems popular with the local elderly residents. Would go again. More

We moved to Exeter 5 months ago, and have visited many times. The Sunday Carvery is delicious and very good value. Like other people's comments this is a traditional local pub with a great atmosphere and good food. Not enought of these establishments like this is left for the community. To many chain pubs with no atmosphere - so it... More

We live within walking distance of this pub and visit it now and again. I would recommend it for a drink, but wouldn't agree with some of the over the top praise for the food. I have visited most of Exeter's pubs and restaurants, this pub is average at best. If you want the basic standard pub food like scampi... More

A very traditional pub that unfortunately is a dying breed these days. We were greeted by a warm and friendly welcome, and staff who helped above and beyond they gave us advice on meal choices, but wasn't hovering over us until we had decided.The food that followed was of excellent standard and arrived at our table hot and filling, the...

Went to the Thatched House with my wife last week. This place is very average to the point where I would question a number of first time reviewers who posted up rave reviews last August. There are loads of great restaurants around Exeter who do not feel the need to post bogus reviews! More

We are sorry that you are disappointed with us. We are a traditional local and we believe that the majority of the reviews we have received are from our regulars. They are of course therefore going to be biased. We are not aware of ANY bogus reviews and we would remove them if we became aware of them. The appearance... More
