Two pizzas at Old Firehouse

About

Widely acknowledged to be one of Exeter’s best ale and cider pubs, The Old Firehouse is very popular with students and locals alike and offers a buzzy atmosphere along with a great range of food and drink at reasonable prices. Serving the famous square pizzas, large enough to share or enjoy the challenge as well as a fantastic Sunday Roast, with vegan and vegetarian options, there’s so much choice that no-one goes hungry! 

We serve food daily from 4pm and midday at the weekends. Children over 10 are welcome from 12 noon to 5pm, after which we operate a strict over 18s policy.

As well as our famous Monday quiz hosted by Terry & Jude, we also host a great range of regular free live music events including an Open Mic night every other Thursday. 

Check out our social feeds and our website for upcoming gigs and events!

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
