We had a very pleasant meal even though the service was very slow, staff were polite. Very nice atmosphere even though there was a very loud man in the bar. I asked a man who I assume was the manager that there was no soap in the ladies toilet he said he would deal with it but when I was leaving both soap dispensers were still empty so I had to use the disabled toilet. A mocca was ordered and we were charged for a Hot Chocolate and an Americano which came to £5.50, if we had known it would be this price we would not have ordered it, we queried it and were told we should have looked at the menu, there was no Mocca mentioned so we should have been informed.

Ideal if you're visiting the showground (opposite), it has a Premier Inn attached. Food is OK and when we last visited it was very busy so the service was very slow. As I said it's OK but the decor is very tired and the whole site could seriously do with a refurb.

Great all you can eat breakfast offering continental, cereals, cooked breakfast and a large selection of drinks. Service can be a little slow but you have plenty of time to help yourself to the continental stuff so it’s not too bad. Plus up to two children eat free with a paying adult so what’s not to love

Terrible experience, to be avoided at all costs. Hotel guest arrived before 7.30 pm, not pre-booked, car park was half empty, tables were half empty, asked at the bar for a table for six, and astonished to hear they could not cope with a table for six, disgusting, lame excuse that tables were booked, clearly a lie and staff wanting to finish early. Absolute disgrace, drove 5 minutes away to copperbeach where we were welcomed, a busier restaurant and happy to accept quests after 7.30. A long while since I've been treated like this and will not be forgotten.

Good if you want unhealthy food, I didn't, I went with my mother so the only option was a basic salad and pay extra for a small piece of chicken or beef. Food was okay and cooked as asked for. I won't go again because there wasn't enough healthy options. But saying that if you like chips and burgers etc this might be okay for you.

Most of the food was served cold. What arrived was not as advertised or as ordered. Vegetables were ordered but not initially served. When they eventually arrived they were still frozen! Exceptionally small portions (6 Chips) and utterly shocking. The staff were friendly enough but knew how bad things were and how bad the food was. Do not even contemplate visiting this place under any circumstances. It is the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting.

Leanne took care of our orders and was extremely helpful and polite to make for a relaxing time while we were there. She resolved a small issue with one dish and was caring towards our needs.

Buffet breakfast Saturday morning was average. Bit of a pain as you have to order your hot food but you can help yourself from the continental stuff. The building itself self is in a real state of needing repairs or just some paint. The car parks hedges are so overgrown too! A bit of care would make it more appealing to the eye.

Not bad food, and staff good, but as other reviews suggest in desperate need of a revamp. Carpet was really sticky and worn out, tables sticky, walls covered in years of food stains. It just needs a good paint and some new flooring and it would be 1000 times better.

Modern clean restaurant and bar. Service was friendly but not very quick. OK, for a relaxing meal, but not if you are on the clock. The latest menu appears even more restricted, and prices have increased. There is a cheap deal for 2 meals, which looks good value. See the back page of the menu booklet for details. We were disappointed by the Sunday roast; however, our waitress was very good and resolved the issue. The very limited menu and high prices mean I would only recommend using this restaurant on work days when the meal deals are available.

But the breakfast on the Sunday was an absolute shambles. We sat down and waited 35 minutes for someone to take our cooked food order. We spoke to a staff member politley twice and told to wait our turn. However they has forgotten us. Ended up just having toast as we did not have time to wait longer. Will not be back.

The food was very poor (think really badly done Wetherspoons dishes) and the decor was old and tired, with the chairs seemingly wobbly and gradually falling apart, everything else looked a bit like it needed replacement about ten years ago. That said the staff were broadly friendly to customers, although a staff meeting was seemingly going on in a closed off bit of the restaurant at the time - morale did not seem high!

We was sat down then waited 30 minutes before seeing a waitress for our orders, I appreciate it was busy but its still ridiculous. The food was ok, sausages were quite pale and not cooked enough for our liking but everything else was OK tho. No orange juice on the day so had to settle for apple. And the food took an eternity to come out, we was there for over 2 hours just to have breakfast. Is this a normal experience here? If it is I doubt we'll be going back which is a shame as my parents like a table table breakfast.

Had to go up to bar and explain and the woman..who I'm guessing was management had no real clue and no real apology for it. Food was fine in the end but again it seemed like we were forgotten about again. In end I had to ask for a discount off bill due to delay but again no real sorry for it.

What a lovely manager. It was close to shutting as I pulled in to sort out my baby from crying on my way home to Essex. The manager even though closed invited me and my baby in so I could feed him and offered me tea. Thanks to her I had a happy baby who slept the rest of the hour journey home.

I feel this Pub is being run by Publicans who have lost their love and energy for the place. Great garden, play equipment tired and not maintained, broken benches just left upturned, rusty screws protruding, behind a bush for anyone to meddle with. Not sure which decade the fryers had their oil changed, they may have stopped this a while back and never restarted due to likely self immolation whilst undertaking this in a Shell Suit.

I arrived far too early for a funeral and was suggested I come to the white hart … excellant sugestion thank you Parking outside and very enjoyable. A lovely lady running the restaurant so helpful, I needed a coffee and she produced an excellent flat white. We chatted and I then ordered smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, to by delight and another coffee. Brilliant service and food. It was lovely to see a group of 5 senior gents in for a chat and breakfast, Just really pleasant thank you so much and enjoy Devon next year ……
