45 min wait to be seated, so turned around and left without eating. Not impressed at all, and in no hurry to try it again in the future. So we did give it a go again......if it wasn't for the fact it was my granddaughter's birthday I wouldn't have gone back....my son asked for his steak to be cooked rare....it came out well done.... Myself and my husband had a 40 minute wait for our lunch, my husband had to remind them twice that we hadn't had it.... Really not a good experience, and I in all honesty couldn't recommend this place .

I went here for breakfast, paid £10.99, and honestly, I feel like I got robbed except instead of a masked bandit, it was a plate of disappointment. The eggs were so cold I thought they had just come out of the fridge, the bacon had the texture of an old leather boot (not that I’ve eaten one, but I’m 100% sure this is what it tastes like), and the sausages? Let’s just say my pinky toe has them beat in size. The rest of the breakfast? A tragic tale of stone-cold misery at **8:30 AM**, no less! I wouldn’t be surprised if the chef cooked everything the night before and just waved at it from across the kitchen in the morning. This place needs a serious upgrade and maybe an introduction to quality ingredients because, believe it or not, **humans** are eating this food. If you’ve also had a breakfast disaster here, don’t be shy leave a review. We deserve better. 🍳😂 Why don’t the management turn up one day and surprise themselves with how shockingly bad the service and food quality are? Honestly, it’d be the plot twist of the year—walking into their own restaurant and realizing, "Wow... we wouldn’t eat here either." 😂

I always stop at this Premier Inn when working Devon and Cornwall, it's a really convenient location , the staff in the hotel are excellent as are the Brewers Fayre team, the meals are standard fayre, I have enjoyed most things off the menu and I also really enjoy the cooked breakfast in the mornings as it's self service and you can take as little or as much as you want.

Main course that went wrong Ordered & paid for - 1 x Tikka Curry + Naan - they found out this was unavailable swapped for a mixed grill - mixed grill was missing onion rings and tomatoes - 1x Cheese burger - get the burger but no cheese …. Desserts that went wrong Ordered and paid for - 1 Cadbury Chocolate Sundae - meant to have caramel nibbles - but had none - 2 sundaes - no wafers Disappointing to have small bits missing or be wrong, on there own it is nothing but all together on one meal for 6 it is a poor job

We have come to this pub a few times. But it’s been a while, and u am sorry to say it’s gone down hill just a little bit, ordered the kids sausage and mash with gravy. Well the mash tasted like it was made six months ago, the gravy tasted like powder. I am sorry to say this. Avoid the kids menu…..

Helpful staff, good food. Reasonable price. Usual pub food type experience. They seemed to have run out of some of their food options as they were so busy which I guess is a good sign 👍 Don't pay full price and get discounts which are available usually.

Stayed at the premier inn for a over night stop over. Although there was a lot of food that was not in stock, the food that we ordered was very well cooked. We really enjoyed our meal. Craig and the other guy at the bar was great and worked well under pressure. I think the problem here are the customers and patience, there is a small team working and trying hard. Would definitely return.

Only got as far as the car park. Left as quickly as possible once I realised they've got one of those scam parking companies on site that monitor everything you do with secret cameras and try to catch you out on any minor technicality. I organised a party at a pub a couple of years ago that nearly cost my family £5000. It took a court case to get the scumbags off our back. So I strongly suggest you avoid this place unless you are not driving. Or switch your numberplates as you drive in. It's not illegal to have false numberplates on private property and you will be protected from these crooks.

Visited with extended family, didn't book, told we could have a table but needed to be gone by 18.30....2.5 hours...think we can manage that. Scottish manager was rude to us, food took ages to arrive, brownies were served frozen to my children and we had to send them back. Manager kept looking over to us from the bar almost to put pressure on us to hurry up. Even heard the Scottish manager complain about another customer using vulgar language. Atmosphere was rubbish, made to feel unwelcome, dirty establishment, won't return if I can help it.

Ordered the calamari starter. It was over cooked and dumped next to a pot of sauce, nothing else. The vegetable lasagne i had has full of water and taste like it, the salad that comes with it looked like it was dragged round the floor before it was put on the plate and the staff was about as friendly as a premiership ref with klopp. I am 43 and have never put a review on any restaurant before on any platform in my life. Most of the time i just get on with it but this is ridiculous, i have a premier inn account and stayed at hundreds in the last 20 years and never had this level of poor service and food I have had today.

Previously rated 5* however after our visit last week, it's had to go down by a few stars. We waited for over 75 minutes for our food due to a glitch with the systems communicating between the till and Kitchen. That I understand, but still from the moment my husband first asked how long our order would be to when our food arrived this was still another 30 minutes. My husband had to ask 3x before the gentleman admitted that our order was lost!! And took our order again. Upon the food being delivered we got an apology and after stating how unhappy we were about the wait and issues (yes by this time we were hungry! And a little less patient but still not rude) the gentleman stated we could get a free dessert for our trouble! We did not take that offer as by this point we just wanted to eat and Leave. I did feel sorry for the gentleman working front of house, as he looked stressed and was dealing with other issues, however I found the waitresses/waiters on that evening a bit rude. No acknowledgement from them, walking around looking glum and after another table asked for an update on their food, the waitress said she would find out and did not bother going back to the table with an update as a courtesy. Unfortunately this experience has put a bad taste in mouth, and I have twice arranged for team meals here (12+ people each time) but I shall be staying away for the foreseeable. It is a shame that 1 bad experience can ruin what can be a lovely place. The only good thing was the food was hot, and tasted lovely. My husband loved the pie 🥧

Took my mother and partner to lunch. Staff were welcoming, asked if any of us had allergies (I have coeliac), was given the allergen menu and were shown to our seat. Food was very good, didn't have to wait long, and my cutlery was sanitized especially because of my CD. I've eaten out in several establishments and this is the first time I've experienced this. 10 out of 10 for recognition of allergies. A great experience. Will be back.

Travelled here to have food to be told we would not be served as we weren’t premier inn customers. Spoke to the manager who was disgustingly rude!! Told us that we “should have booked a table”. She was an absolute disgrace never in my life have I come across a “manager” so rude in my life!! I will not be returning!! If she was stressed due to being under staffed she’s in the wrong job as treating customers the way she treated us was appalling

We were greeted this morning to a happy smiling face from the lovely Ellie. We chose the full English breakfast and it was delicious. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. Management clearly know how to run a happy ship and it was evident by our experience. I have had many breakfasts at different brewers fayre establishments. They are usually chaotic, so it made a fantastic change to eat in a calm peaceful environment with happy staff.

A refreshing change to actually have peas which taste just like garden peas, crisps sweet and perfectly cooked. Service was friendly and welcoming. The steak was cooked exactly to requirement (rare) It would, however, have been nice though, to have been told that the peppercorn sauce was an added cost at point of order.

Best of the 2 neros on the high street, nice vibe and hardworking staff, seemingly let down by management as there is never enough of them. As a result no time for washing up and regularly serve in take away cups, which is bad for the environment and not what I want when drinking in.
