The Star Inn in East Devon

Usual spoons, lovely old building cheap food and drink brilliant

Probably the best pint of Abbot Ale I have tasted in 20 years.

Lovely Outdoor area for all to enjoy very clean and tidy outside. Inside upon arrival at around 2.30pm many tables hadn't been cleared. We then sat at a table and had to clear it ourselves after several staff walked by without taking the dirties with them. We ordered food, Hubby ordered a rear steak which unfortunately was not Rare. Daughter had jacket potato with a note requesting beans to be on the side. This came out with the beans on the potato so we had to wait for the meal to be replaced as requested. They did this with no problem! I then took my daughter for the toilet and came back to the table to find it had been cleared of all food without our meals being finished. The gentleman behind the bar was very apologetic and offered to replace the meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming and polite. Very good service minus the couple of mishaps was a lovely place.

Really up together looked after Wetherspoon. We have been to many ‘Spoons in different towns. This is one of the best.

They try their best here but always seem to miss something! Friendly staff, good atmosphere, average Wetherspoon.

Great food and beer, need more staff to keep pace with clearing tables.

Helpful and pleasant staff and well kept cheap beer!

We had family down to visit, so we decided to take them to our local pub for dinner.. the pub was fairly busy and the staff were all brilliant! Anything we needed and they were only happy to help. Food was fantastic 😋 staff were great!! 5🌟 we will most definitely be going back.

Once of the best Weatherspoons I've been in.

Delicious food, great service Bring back the triple chicken feast tho

Nice little pub, ordered on the app and our drinks arrived quickly. Can get a bit lairy sometimes but nothing too bad.

Just had a full English breakfast with an egg muffin with coffees and orange juice for 2 for less than £15. Quick service, nice athmosphere good food. All we needed.

Wasn’t bad, had the panini maybe would have tested better if it was buttered & I also ordered just cheese as an option so maybe because I asked for no ham or tomato they should of affected Exeter cheese

Really disappointed with Wetherspoons today Was asked to leave because I was accompanied by my Emotional Support Dog; which in line with their policy was wearing a working harness and lead. I was asked for a certificate (not mandatory in their policy) which I did not have as my dog was privately trained Was told that an ESD was not a working dog! I explained that I have the chronic hidden disability Fibromyalgia and am in constant pain which the company of my ESD helps to alleviate! People would probably not even notice him as he sits under the table and as a poodle is also anti alergentic Sorry that I didn't have my hidden disability lanyard on me to show everyone in the restaurant Wetherspoons seems happy to support other customers with medical conditions such as alcoholism, but others are dismissed without even the curtesy of an apology Shame on you The Star Inn Honiton

Considering it is a Witherspoons this is a very nice pub 😎 will be back soon 🍻🍻🍻

Great, the gold standard for all Spoons. Of course, they sell the same stuff but they just do it better.

We had a nice meal here. Really as you'd expect from a decent Wetherspoons

Terrible cold food ,my partner found a hair in her meal and the service was terrible as one lady working only ,tables full

Arrived early into Honiton and felt peckish for some breakfast. I spotted the Star Inn which opens at 8am and found myself a cosy table by a window and ordered the full English. Ok, it’s a Spooners I thought to myself and didn’t expect the world. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The young lady that took my order at 9am and served me was very welcoming and couldn’t be more helpful. The breakfast arrived promptly after helping myself to the endless designer coffee from the machine included. The breakfast was hot, fresh and very enjoyable. Even the toast with proper butter was very lovely. All in a clean, relaxed, comfortable large dining area and most importantly, super value for money. Keep up the good work!

Good value, and great for families looking for an easy-going dinner

The staff were all very attentive. We were 16 in all and all the dishes were brought out together. It was curry club night and the vindaloo was just as it should be very hot 🥵 🙂

We regularly use this ‘spooners’ pub which offers great value for money food and drinks in a pleasant environment. I really wanted to congratulate and praise the Pub Manager (sorry I didn’t get your name, but did compliment you in person!) for his excellent customer service for the way he dealt with a problem one of our party had with his meal this evening (7th August). He was very professional and courteous, very well done!

Ordered a traditional breakfast and a breakfast wrap along with two coffee's. Bar staff helpful and pub nice

The breakfast was cold when I came here. The bacon was so charred I could taste the crumbs from the cooker. The eggs had a full on river with them don’t buy

Great very nice and good food for a reasonable price

We had an excellent breakfast at The Star Inn and thought it was tasty, well presented and very reasonable value for money. The staff were pleasant and helpful. It was good to see that in addition to an impressive indoor environment there was a large number of tables outside too. As we were travelling, it was particularly convenient to have a public car park directly next door. We will call in again when next in the area.

Clean, tidy, happy staff. Great place for a quick pint

Omg the worst steak ever. We did get checked on tbf but sorry to say too much grussle, not the best sirloin we've had. Staff as always amazing, sorry for a bad review

Very fast service, usual reliable quality food from Wetherspoons

BE WARE STAFF ARE INCAPABLE OF GETTING YOUR ORDER RIGHT, MAKE SURE YOU SAY EVERYTHING IN LAYMANS TERM, LEFT ME WITH 2 MOUTHFULS OF FOOD WHILST MY FAMILY EAT AN ENTIRE MEAL, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE

We had a lovely cooked English breakfast here. The food was great, came quickly after being ordered and the general feel of the pub was lovely.

Good old wetherspoon's does exactly what it does! No pretense, no delusions just a cracking brekky, cheap pints and unlimited coffee, perfect!

Nice atmosphere and bartender, didn’t have food but looked nice

Nice place but drinks where tipped away when went outside and was refused new ones and refused a refund on the 22nd around 12:30 at night we lost 3 pints od budweiser and a single dissorano and coke. Not very pleased

Large ground floor pub, straight off the street- a 5' walk from the very centre of Honiton. Can be quite quiet but at supper-time it's a great place to be for atmosphere. Staff are super-friendly and helpful. We went with a group of 9 and were able to secure tables without booking. A big bar area with all the drinks and spirits you can imagine.

Your staff are wonderful, happy and friendly. Thanks.

Lovely inviting pub, we stopped off on our way to Torquay. Enjoyed it that much, we also stopped on our return journey back. Food was very nice and didn't have to wait long at all.

One of the worse! Yes WORSE Wetherspoons I’ve ever been to! All staff have got a CBA (can’t be asked) attitude, no manners what so ever, none of them are even happy about their job! The burger tasted off and the chips was chewy! Never bothered mentioning it to the staff didn’t want to feel more depressed with this place than I was! Would NOT recommend to anyone!

Maybe one of my favourite WeatherSpoons... Still amazing service, but lovely staff.... The double gin within the meal deal for £8 ish. And decent chicken burger... Also we'll. Looked after toilets that looks cool still...

Another cracking wetherspoons the star inn honiton great service lovely pub like the art deco bar nice beer garden stopped off on the way back from the truck show

Great place to meet and have food and drink

Enjoyed our meal. dont get a lot for your money but it was nice

Does everything you'd expect a spoons to do, decent food, cheap drinks nice atmosphere. Edit, 9.05.24, still agree with the above however just witnessed a member of staff being very rude to a customer who hadn't realised she was in a smoking area, rather than asking her nicely to move they were very rude and aggressive.. Not a nice experience for her or the families he was trying to protect from her tiny bit of smoke. A quiet polite word would have done, maybe send your management on a refresher course in customer service!

Up to usual standard of food in nice surroundings

I agreed to meet someone there because she worked there but unfortunately she hurt herself at work and was off work until it got better ,so invited her for a coffee and she got told to leave has she was off work ,I think that is so unfair and not kind I won't be going back there again has its not a very nice place and they don't listen to what you order for food either .

Great service, breakfast too was great for the price. Busy and excellent

Not the best wetherspoons But good value.

You know what you're getting with Wetherspoons, which is why we keep going back. Amazing breakfasts, including black pudding, and a free drink for less than £6, and the opportunity to get a pint if you so wish. What more could you wish for? Well, actually, I don't want alcohol at 10am, so perhaps there's a non alcoholic beer instead? There's not one, but nine different types of 0% alcohol beers and ciders, not to mention alcohol free wine. The food portions are enormous, and tasty and there are plenty of condiments to go with them. Staff are friendly, competent and efficient, and just get on with serving you quickly. For a large chain that clearly uses the low price high turnover business model, meaning everything saved is passed to the customer, for me it ticks all the boxes. If I was to ask for one improvement, it would be to sell pork scratchings, to go with my non alcoholic pint. Thanks Wetherspoons, you're great!

Surprisingly good food considering how cheap it is. The service is fast and friendly. Good verity on the menu and every drink you can think of is available 😉

Clea nice Friendly staff, food's basic, but wholesome and tasty. No problem for me being hungry. B S

There at around 1pm . Food not hot. And one meal missing from order. Ordered at the bar by two of us and did ask if the order was for 4 meals.

Rude staff and food is absolutely terrible, never eat here again ,I live in honiton and given this pub chance after chance and it gets from bad to worst

Had an enjoyable meal with a tasty beer.

It's a Witherspoons. Enough said......

It's a shame what was good is not could not go wrong with their burgers but the burger has been replaced with a cheap catering burger tasteless not been in for 6 months it's not the same tasted like cardboard how do you f up a burger chips were decent £4.50 a portion mental won't be coming back

Very busy as it was a Saturday night, quick service

Great beer. Did not have any food.

It’s Wetherspoons, it meets expectations but never exceeds them.

A nice and busy spoons with decent food.

Food really good. Very clean. Ideal for a quick bite to eat.

It was quiet when I went in but the staff was on the ball all the time even when a customer dropped a glass they were straight there to sweep it up

A good old fashioned pub, plenty of atmosphere, decent food for the money, good selection of beers and spirits, to be honest unmatched at this price in Honiton.

Great as a stop over on our way.

Service great! Food edible... Value for money good...

Great little pub, cracking good staff - something Wetherspoons always seems to get right. Typical Wetherspoons, what you see is what you get.

Excellent value for money. Busy & a bit noisy but we're able to get a table. Would definitely visit again for a quick meal or coffee.

Really nice one of the best I've been to !

They've hired a manager who acts by exerting her authority. Unfortunately, we live in a world based on being reasonable, and having to deal with an unreasonable and emotionally volatile manager, who bans people on her own nonsensical whims is neither a good look for the company or the location.

Good pub with friendly staff and the beer garden is great in the summer.

Great Weatherspoons, so far the best on the country that I have been to. Open fire, clean and tidy and proper pub feel.

It's a Spoons!! A nice, clean Spoons buta Spoons nonetheless...

Dont be a happy bunny or you will be band. Rude an over worked staff. Foods ok depending how you catch it. Service is pass able if you are miserable don't wear a hat or give your opinion defiantly don't smile or be happy.

This is a nice Spoons, very clean and tidy compared to some we have been in. The staff were polite and friendly, but how can they serve a congealed lump of dry porridge and think it's okay?! Even I can cook porridge and that's saying something!

Very busy great service and lovely food

Even though busy, geat breakfast and quick

Lovely food great atmosphere wonderful staff

Ordered a meal for all the family and paid for this. Immediately, realised that the meals come with free drinks, so asked for the drinks just to be told the ticket had already gone through and if we wanted drinks we would have to pay for them. Hadn’t even left the bar. Very poor. Will not be going back there again.

It's a weatherspoons dont expect much. Certainly dont expect it to be clean or for the portions to fill you up but then...we all over eat.

Didn't realize that this was a Wetherspoons, food arrived quick, decaf coffee was actually nice with free refills.

It's a Wetherspoons. You get what you paid for. Although saying that, they had run out of the large fish and offered me an alternative, which I was happy with. My daughter ordered bacon and cheese with her burger which didn't arrive until I told them it was missing. And her dessert had the chocolate sauce missing, which we just let slide. I'd still go back though.

Wrong meal served, rice then cold. Naam bread like cardboard and pompadom limp.

Without doubt the poorest level of customer service and hospitality I have witnessed in a regular country used by myself business. A mistake on the Weatherspoons app that placed my order to a venue in Tiverton, then the staff refusing to help me rectify this for a refund or simply providing the correctly wanted meal at the Star Inn as it should have been., the staff member checked with the Manager who informed me to call the venue in Tiverton myself to see if a refund can be done.I was unable informed it is highly unlikely I will get a refund as it was MY MISTAKE?? No effort made by the staff members at the Star Inn, when the food was served the lady manager concerned was abrupt and literally through the food on the table, and no point had myself or my partner been anything but polite. The app has played up many times on my device and at last I have removed it as it’s never getting the location 100% correct even on the latest Iphone Device. Weatherspoons App policy and procedures does not protect customers who use the app.

Spoons is spoons basically but this 9ne is a nice little place with friendly staff

Got served a burger that was stone cold ...asked for a replacement..that also came stoned cold ...gave up

Had a quick stop here during my outing in the area, lovely little pub and so quiet and peaceful at the time that I went.

Good value for money friendly helpful people

Great place to eat love the mixed grill never had duff one. Cod chips is second favourite. If you want posh dining go elsewhere.

Quiet when I was in (afternoon), beer was good, service fine, venue looks good

Rough and noisy pub. Dirty tables. Don't bother ordering food ,it's terrible go across the road to the chippy. Staff unhelpful.

One of the best spoons I've been in. Actually had ample staff. Nearby council car park was expensive, but spoons prices made up for the extra cost. I'm disabled and access was possible but not the best 👍

Great food and drinks and lovely atmosphere

It's a wetherspoons so food same as all the others and also toilets upstairs. The reason I marked it down was it had an amazing garden but no dogs allowed, this needs to be looked at.

Well, we stopped off in Honiton as part of a journey from Plymouth to London. But apparently Honiton is closed on a Sunday. A very kind landlady in one of the pubs in the high street explained they only do Sunday roasts but recommended the Wetherspoon pub. We sat outside The Star Inn in the garden which is a nice sun trap. The Wetherspoon app worked well (which is more than many other pubs) the food arrived quickly and was tasty. We left Honiton with a mental note to try another of the towns on the A303 for our next trip.

Usual value in a very pleasant venue. Still a very nice, very reasonable menu at good prices. You know what you're getting and how much.

Relaxing time had by both of us

Nice place, well laid out with friendly staff. Pretty standard Wetherspoons fare, nothing spectacular but you know you're getting what you paid for promptly and with no fuss. Some disabled parking right outside and normal parking within easy distance.

It was good as far as witherspoon go

Nice wetherspoons.clean &tidy.pleasant helpful staff.interesting building

I don't understand how they can fix this for such a low price. Breakfast is super the coffee lovely and you can get a free refill. Dinner was also great for that price. Steak delicious. Chicken strips on bun better and cheaper than Mc donalds

my boyfriend ordered a QUORN nugget wrap and they came out with a southern fried chicken wrap which btw is the TOTAL opposite . we brought this up and they weren’t even sure themselves. it was clearly chicken and tasted like chicken (i tried before my bf tried to eat it) it also had a spicy sauce which was described on the menu for southern fried chicken wrap, however the quorn wrap isn’t spicy. They gave us a new meal and this time i could tell this one was quorn as it was shaped like nuggets this time, had a sweet sauce and was not spicy. we asked for a refund, the arrogant waitress argued with us and told us that she opened it up in the kitchen and still said it was “quorn”. i’m sorry but the audacity to argue with customers and lie to their face?!?! this place needs to know the difference between quorn and real chicken before you try giving a vegetarian chicken and lying to customers !!!
