The Panniers in North Devon

Had a great afternoon at this pub in Barnstaple. Great location, quick and efficient service.

Very friendly staff and good service

Food was very slow coming out and had obviously been sat for a while. Ordered similar food to our friends at the same table and the kitchen got all confused 🤔

Great staff always helpful good quality for the price

The food is what you expect and well priced.

It was very busy and I'm not a fan of town centre pubs. However, for a quick drink before the theatre this was a perfect stop

It's not a great Weatherspoons. The one on The Strand in Barnstaple is better. Cheap beer like all Weatherspoons

We had steak (not the best) I wasn't impressed my partner was! In my opinion, it's not the best Wetherspoons I have visited. It's across the road from the theatre. Cheap. 10/10 Drinks were good 👍. 8/10 Cleanliness 4/10 Staff 6/10.

Food was awful compared to Ilfracombe where I live, the toilets was a mess had poo everywhere and even saw the chef go in there which put me off my food Chips tasted raw and stale The whole place just felt grimy and unclean Also had a bad belly and was throwing up all of the next day Do not recommend

Been my local for 12 months.Beer usually in good form and food deals excellent

It's a spoons.... Its is what it is! That said just had a cracking Guinness

Always a fair experience although it can get busy at the bar and too many people stand between the bar and thr front row of tables meaning service can be slow.

Great breakfast, hot and tasty. Tea and coffee okay. Very friendly locals chatted to me and added to the experience. Service only lacked table clearing.

Pleasant place to have food,drinks coffee and have a chat We come here or go to other Weatherspoons.

Good value for money, you can't beat a weatherspoons for that.

Conversation with a young woman behind the bar. "Pizza please " "Sorry no pizzas" "Right. Well, fish and chips" "No fish." "Oh for god's sake. What HAVE you got?" "We've got lots of things on the menu, you can't expect us to have everything!" "Well, scampi then, assuming you've got it" "We have, and there's no need to have a go at me, it's not my fault!" "I wasn't having ... never mind" I got the impression that this rude woman could not care less about us, the customers. Some staff wear video cameras- perhaps they should issue them to customers too, to record staff bad attitudes. I shan't be returning.

The meal was hot. The staff were helpful. Good choice of beer. Outdoor eating at the back. Ground level toilets. Child friendly. Street parking.

My chicken was over done - black on base but just edible. Ate there night before and food was excellent.

Good food, good value for money lovely pub

It's a wetherspoon pub, cheap drinks, cheap food and prompt service, no frills, serves a purpose. My only issue was that the tables hadn't been cleared or cleaned. It was a Friday evening so they were busy but they should account for this.

Got kicked out of Panniers Wetherspoons because I wanted a replacement burger - got told I was being rude and aggressive (absolutely laughable) before threatening to call the police. I'd avoid if she's on shift, asked for a name for complaint and was given nothing

Shocking visit with my Family on Monday. One poor chap on the bar on his own trying to serve and manage the app. Lady on the floor was working tirelessly to try and get everything done but fighting a losing battle. We waited 45 minutes for our food which was inedible…….. No sign of a manager throughout the visit which I think is unacceptable given how busy the pub was.

Nice to sit and watch the world go by. Food was OK. You know what you're going to get with wetherspoons. Although pizza is getting thinner every time

Great prices, great breakfast and a good atmosphere

Nice place, no issues recommending it. Nice bunch of people.

We as a couple frequent many Wetherspoons pubs. We wanted to compliment the manager (which we did verbally) He did not stop at all. He was clearing tables, delivering food to tables etc. Walked faster than I’ve ever seen any bar worker lol. Well done!

Good value food.. it's your typical wetherspoons.

Yum, Yum. A very good breakfast.

This is one of the nicer spoons I have been too, very big and the food was better than the average spoons, the service was good especially since they had to deal with a lot of peoples children running riot. Don’t expect a lot though it is a Wetherspoon.

Put a fiver in the slot machine and it crashed. The manager tried to restart it to get my money back, but didn't have any luck. She saw it was a fiver I lost, but refused to give me my money back until the engineer had been called. I went back after the machine had been turned on again expecting to get my money back, but they refused saying they had to wait for the engineer. I called back in again a week later and they knew nothing of it and took my details again saying they will call me. One month later and still no call. Enjoy my fiver you robbing barstewards.

to say the least i did not have the best experience here. food made four family members feel violently ILL. would NOT go again as it was probably the worst wetherspoons ive ever been to. there was also a hair in one family members food. usually i love wetherspoons but this one really let me down. we also waited 30-40 minutes for two scoops of icecream. staff just looked overall miserable. not a good environment for a family of nine with six hungry kids

Out of all the wetherspoons in the country this must have been the worst one I've ever been to.The place is ran by idiots you would of got your food faster if you ordered from a hourse wouldn't let my dog eat from here.Chicken burger made 2 family members feel very ill waited 40mins for two scoops of ice cream -1000/10

Went for breakfast twice while we were in the area. Much better than the usual wetherspoons food, it was hot!

Nice spacious areas with outside seating. Toilets actually on the ground floor. Quick friendly service.

Excellent pub, good layout, food was very quick and good...ideal location near plenty of shops

Excellent, food very tasty, and no time limit to eat or drink

Had a lovely pre-theatre meal. Just what the doctor ordered.

The pub was quite busy. Found a table, queued at the bar, ask for table to be cleaned, had to wait for another til, and then told someone else is.sitting at the table. The solution was for me to walk around find another table and maybe the same happens again. The people sat at the table I found had still not been to the bar and ordered. Guess a single person cannot use a table and order.

Always has great service, with unbeatable prices.

You know what to expect at a Wetherspoons.

It was busy which was good to see. Unfortunately not enough bar staff which wasn’t their fault. Ordered our meals, served on cold plates, which there is no excuse for. Food itself not very warm, might have been waiting on the side sometime before coming out. I would have said something if we had been asked. Very disappointed, have eaten here before when on holiday and it has been fine. Money is short for everyone, it will be a long time before we return to this Wetherspoons

Lovely food , staff and pub in general

Disappointed, dirty, unhelpful. The baby change had faeces all over the toilet so smelt disgusting, and no one went in to clean or make it as out of order. The pizza oven was broken, which I get happened but the app let me order 1, I was told about the issue and that I needed to go to the bad to rectify it this is where the visit went wrong. I waited and waited I then gave up on the idea of getting food and just wanted to cancel my food as the rest was still being cooked. I was initially refunded for part of my order then eventually all of it although the member of acted as though this was a true issue to her. The food finally came after over 30 minutes and was cold and dry, it was unenjoyable, unedible, and disappointing.

Service was a bit slow at the time we were there but overall good experience

I must admit that I am a fan of the group you good food at a reasonable price

Disgusting attitude from the old lady at the counter and the severe horrible attitude we have been eating here for years can't really say a bad word about the place, most of the staff know us until today

Food ok, i would say buy another portion of chips, if you are having chips? i think i had about 8-10 chips on my plate! American burgers are small, more like a childs meal.

Not as good as some wetherspoons

Good choice of ales and pleasent staff

Always a decent breakfast in the panniers. The staff are brilliant and polite. As I only ever have a breakfast here, I can't comment on other foods sold. A good example of a Witherspoon's.

Had 3x Flights of Ale....very tasty and enjoyable

What you can expect from weather spoons. Family meal before going cinema.

This particular Spoons is very pleasant albeit very dark inside which tends to be the theme of a Spoons.

Very friendly service great atmosphere

Waiting for our bus to Lynmouth as the one we went for drove off without waiting for us to get on so we had an hour to pass on. Decided to call for coffee. Nice place but the ladies toilets leave something to be desired as most of them did not lock

Very busy, table needed a wipe and mustard all over the menu. Meal OK and quick. Larger and lemonade very nice.

Lovely service, great beer, but don't bother with the burgers! I can remember when it was a meal, they seem to have shrunk, smaller than a kids meal from Maccas!!

Pretty standard Wetherspoons really. Good for a reasonably priced pub meal. Can get really busy sometimes, as can most...

Very busy but very efficient didn't have to wait to long.

Nipped in for a quick lunch enjoyable and reasonable prices

Pretty good food for the money, pretty quick service ofc if it's busy like hell most likely ain't going be as fast. It's one of the better weather spoons in my opinion.

Friendly and hardworking staff, the food is great for the price . The coffee machines are quite often not working properly and that can be a bit annoying 🙄. But on a scale of 1 to ten you can always give weatherspoons a 7 or 8

Just popped in for a few beers Old Peculiar on tap 😋

Sat at a table near the bar did not have much interaction with others as not that busy when I went in ,was after 8pm.

It's a "spoons" you know what you're going to get 👍

Only went for a coffee as I was waiting for some tyres to be fitted. I couldn't believe the amount of people drinking alcohol early in the morning

Worst wetherspoons I've visited tables dirty and plates stacked bar staff very slow to uptake and aknowledge we ordered food burger and fish dripping in grease peas undercooked apple crumble no custard on offer and no check back and when a refund was issued no receipt given definately wouldn't visit here again

A member of staff was chatting to some customers, as I passed I asked where the loos were and she told me she finished work five minutes ago. The other customers gave me directions. I was with about ten family members for a meal with me who could see I was not happy.

Really nice weatherspoons. Very happy. Also the toilets are not a million miles away. 😂

Nice pub can't beat a spoons good decor and atmosphere

Please just save yourself the time and don’t go here. Me and my partner went yesterday afternoon. Ordered curry sauce and chips and this is what they sent out. We had nothing to eat all day so we just settled for it. If only we knew that we would both end up with food poisoning. please save your money

Nice meal & drinks. When working away from home, sometimes it is difficult to know where to go for a hot meal. Wetherspoons is pretty standard across the board, but that isn't a bad thing.

Disappointed that ordering a panini or wrap came on a large plate with zero else could have gone to subway for that.

Busy place tonight but service was fast and friendly

Standard spoons, good as normal.

Food was good. Staff ruined the experience with limited smiles. Very unhappy staff

bbq chicken melt. Chicken dried out, overcooked and only a small amount was edible No opportunity to complain discreetly as service was practically non existent

Stopped for a quick drink, didn't eat.

Lovely pub , we found it quite relaxed. One small complaint is, in a dog friendly town it would be nice if you could take your dog in the garden at the front of the building. I can understand not indoors but couldn't see any harm in allowing dogs on the outside of the front. ( Small complaint) 😊

Tables dirty, food cold. Asked for table to be cleaned, but it never happened .

Just fyi, on Sunday they only have takeaway.

Not a bad spoons clean good service and nice general atmosphere

HAD A HORRIBLE BREAKFAST, COLD BAKE BEANS, SALTY SAUSAGE. HARD FRIED EGG, BACON LIKE OLD BOOT LEATHER, WHAT A JOKE, DEFINITELY BE USING THE TARKO LOUNGE FROM NOW ON, YES YOU SAVE A FEW QUID IN WETHERSPOONS BUT I RATHER PAY S BIT MORE AND GET A DECENT MEAL

Welcoming friendly and a great place to go for any occasion, and cheap prices

Just like any other wetherspoons,

Average Wetherspoons pub. Look for the "Secret Garden".

Comfy, centrally located Spoons.

Currently infested by swarms of flies. Seat was ripped and other furniture generally worn out. Dead wasp and rubbish in the window 30 minutes after opening time. Avoid.

Typical Wetherspoons, cheap beer cheap food you get what you pay for

Quick service with the app. Good quality food with good service from the staff. A little quiet as was late lunch on a Sunday.

Very good visit today. Took a few minutes to be served but worth the not to long wait for nice food. Look out for the secret garden.

Was here today with my family for a quick bite to eat. Had to send my food back as there was hair in it. Looked like beard hair ( I hope that's what it was 🙈) by the time my new food arrived my partner and kids had almost finished theirs. My partners burger was freezing cold in the middle, his bap was burnt, the 11 year old ordered spag bol..was literally 3 forkfuls in his bowl. My new food that arrived was not worth the wait ended up leaving it. There was 2 other tables around us had to send food back also for whatever reason. Definitely will be avoiding in the near future. We were really disappointed

Nice brunch. Bit of a queue to order but food arrived quickly.

Very good indeed, great food very good vfm and quick service. 👍

Excellent place to have a drink, staff are all very friendly and helpful 👍🍺🍺

Good food and service,very pleasant staff,nice clean toilets

Went for a pizza and drinks. But when we got there the pizza ovens were not working, so ordered ham, egg and chips at 2.00pm. There appeared to be only 2 server's on today, the lady was rushing around and lad not so much. The lady was collecting used plates and bringing out the food (one at a time). The lad, I didn't see take away any of the plates. Only the one's the previous people on our table had used and that was after we asked for them to be removed. The table was very sticky and had salt all over it. Our food arrived at 2.43 and was very tasty and hot. Went to the toilet and there was a dirty nappy in the toilet cubicle. These according to the check list hadn't been checked for 2 hours. But they were clean.

Always a nice pub to eat at, food is fast, simple but works, loads of seating. Would eat here again, no problem

Waited over 40 minutes for food. Before cinema trip. Had to leave hungry. Disgrace.

As you would expect from a "Spoons"
