Diners at Rusty Pig in Ottery St Mary will have the opportunity to dine al fresco, with the introduction of an outdoor dining area.
The balcony at the back of the restaurant, which is also the location where Rusty Pig’s charcuterie range is air dried, overlooks the rooftops of Ottery across to St Mary’s Church.
Owner, Robin Rea said: “We are very much into natural ingredients – and what could be more natural than sitting outside to dine?
“We have also included seating for customers who just want to enjoy a drink in the sunshine.”

There’s a new face at the Rusty Pig in Ottery St Mary - one that means business.
Agata Domarecka joins the team at the ethical eaterie as restaurant manager, bringing with her a wealth of experience in the catering industry.
Agata, known as Agy, came to the UK 10 years ago from Poland after being discovered waitressing by Devon hoteliers who offered her a job in Lynton. After a spell at the Talland Bay Hotel she found herself at Combe House Hotel, now The Pig, where she was soon promoted to restaurant manager. Under the auspices of then owners Ken and Ruth Hunt, Agy became...
Rusty Pig’s food wagons will be hitting the streets at Ottery St Mary’s Flaming Tar Barrels on November 5.
The wagons have been created from cattle trailers; the original was six-foot but the concept has now ‘gone large’ and the latest model is a twelve-foot monster. Both wagons have a wood-fired oven on board.
The food wagons are being organised and run for free, and profits will be donated to the carnival committee. Last year, over £1,000 was taken from the sale of Rusty Pig cuisine.
Both these unusual food wagons will be found in Mill Street, serving freshly made...

Jamie and Jimmy are currently filming a new series of their popular show, Friday Night Feast, and invited Robin to cook a dish using his renowned black pudding to help them raise awareness of how blood should be viewed as more than just a waste product.
Robin said: “Blood is a by-product of farming livestock and it is such a shame that all too often it goes to waste. It has actually been described by...
Rusty Pig in Ottery St Mary is holding a ‘Dexter’ event on August Bank Holiday weekend, to highlight the importance of local sourcing.
The Dexter beef will be served as super-sized steak and chips cooked in beef dripping at the ethical restaurant in Yonder Street on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 August.
Rusty Pig owner Robin Rea believes that local sourcing has become ever more popular, and says there are more benefits than may be immediately obvious.
