Old Firehouse

Updating my rating and knocking a star off. For years has been one of my favourite pubs in Exeter, and while the building and atmosphere are still great the beer and food have gone downhill. Used to be a proper beer pub with a great selection but now there's rarely any cask on and the worst selection on keg that they've ever had. The pizzas used to be an absolute bargain but at around £20 a pizza they've nearly doubled in price in just a few years and not worth it anymore. Still worth a visit but not quite what it used to be.

Great atmosphere. Super-friendly staff. Good range of drinks that seemed reasonably priced. On the face of it the pizzas were expensive. But then you realise that they aren't standard sized. One pizza does two hungry people which makes it pretty good value. Good range of pizzas including vegan if that is important for you. Pizzas themselves are more American style than Italian. Thin bases and very nice toppings. I went for 4 stars rather than 5 stars as the bases were slightly oily. I guess they put oil in the bottom of the trays before adding the dough. But I am being picky...

Well, this is the most delightful place! Between the fun atmosphere, we’ll stocked bar, and truly fantastic pizza there’s no going wrong when choosing The Old Firehouse. Our friends took my husband and I out for his birthday and we ordered two pizzas and a garlic bread between us and it was the perfect amount of food. This will be my new go to for bringing out of town guests!
