The Weary Traveller in Mid Devon

Stopped off whilst travelling up the M5. We rang ahead to book but although fairly busy there were lots of available tables. Had the veggie roast which was pretty good. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We went for a carvery it was definitely not worth the money. Meat was overcooked and dry , Yorkshire were burnt almost black, stuffing was like rubber, veg was cold and the swede was like soup.

Very Slow service some of our group had almost finished before we got our carvery. Mediocre food. Would not recommend.

Been there about a dozen times and the everything varies..

food was terrible steak had lot of grizzle in it my friend couldn't even cut it with a steak knife my chicken burger was very greasy on a positive note the staff were great/friendly & welcoming it was a shame as the food/carvery was great last time and I would recommend that!

We called in out of the blue as the pub was due to open in about 10 minutes time and we were hungry & thirsty wasn’t disappointed the food came fair my quickly and the chips were incredible they were hot & crispy but plenty of potato left in the middle we a enjoyed our meals and will deffo making a return visit maybe even on that Sunday for a carvery

The pub is clean and the music is great but the volume is a bit too high

Met up with family members as we live in Exeter. We all had a carvery. Parsnips were solid burnt, potatoes anemic and the Yorkshire’s burnt and very greasy. The chef made us feel awkward as just glared at us putting food into our plates, very awkward silence. Very bland carvery. We all chose a desert at £6. I ordered apple pie and custard. It was smaller than a child’s portion and burnt and dry, I returned mine. Others ordered fudge cake which was so dry they struggled to swallow it. Many used plates and empty glasses on tables. The whole feel of the place felt grubby. We came here in April and was very happy with our carvery. Unfortunately this time around we won’t be returning.

Good drinks selection. Lovely family pub with playground for kids and pool table. Don't think we would eat again but would return nevertheless

Stopped off on our journey, it was Sunday, so lunch was generous, but enjoyed every bit of it.

We stopped here on our way back from Cornwall, and sat in the beer garden as the sun was shining. We had a drink and food. The lad who served us was lovely, friendly and chatty. However, over all the pub felt really grubby, old and dated, the beer garden felt and looked unkempt. The food was just ok, it wasn't great quality and we left most of it. Its a shame, we have been here a few times, but we will not return, due to the place going down hill and not being maintained.

What has happened at the Weary Traveller? This was our 4th visit and it is most likely the last! We visited the WT for a carvery, me, my husband and his brother, when we arrived we went to the bar to order drinks and pay for our meal. I asked for a Smirnoff Ice or VK equivalent, I was told by the barmaid that they no longer sold them as they are not as popular as they were, I settled for a vodka and bitter lemon. My husband and brother-in-law wanted a. Pint of Doombar "sorry, we don't have Doombar at the moment but we do have Otter" "Okay 2 pints of Otter please" The barman then called across "sorry, no Otter either but we do have IPA" Bearing in mind, this is the day of the final of the European cup! Hubby and brother-in-law reckon they are holding it back ready for the evening event. "Okay, fine, two IPA" Food and drinks paid for, we were given our tokens for the carvery. After finding our table and depositing drinks, we made our way to the counter and duly handed over our tokens. There was roast pork, beef, gammon and I think turkey... that's usually the other choice...and you could see straight away they were all way overdone. I asked for beef and pork. The server couldn't cut a slice because it crumbled as soon as he tried, it was more like pulled pork and beef, Yeuk! I hate meat like that! The Yorkshire puddings had seen better days, really brown, flat and rubbery. Had to search through a load of mush to find a roast potatoe. Cauliflower and broccoli in cheese sauce...the veg had been threatened with boiling water...the cheese sauce was very, very runny with a nasty, almost a blue cheese taste...okay if you like blue cheese I suppose! I bypassed the cabbage and swede as they looked most unappetising. The carrots were okay, peas okay...ish. Stuffing balls, tightly compacted and anaemic, parsnips burnt on the outside but crunchy in the middle and the gravy...what can I say, never seen gravy like it and never want to again...and it tasted awful. Should take instructions from Toby for gravy...yum! Dessert...hubby nothing, brother-in-law, millionaires cheesecake and me ice cream. Brother-in-laws came out on a large plate, tiny wedge of dark brown, rapidly melting substance in the middle of said plate...looked more like chocolate fudge cake...in fact I asked the waiter if a mistake had been made "nope, millionaires cheesecake, well that's what it says on the box anyway" Does everything come out of a packet/box these days! I ordered ice-cream...instead of the promised 3 scoops I received 3 curls and a couple of cylindrical biscuits..,you might have made a scoopful out of the 3...if you were lucky! This is not the cheapest carvery we have visited but on our last three visits the food had been superb so well worth the money. The other thing to note was, the last three visits, we have had a job to find a parking space and the restaurant had been "heaving." Not a problem this time though car park almost empty and very few diners!

We booked a table of 8 for a birthday lunch customer service was awful they didn't even say hello please thankyou etc infact only spoke to take our order. No apologies that 3 items weren't available . Didn't get asked if we would like a desert . No atmosphere in this place both staff spent all the time we were there on their phones and the toilets were filthy .we are locals but won't ever go there again

We booked this place for a family meetup. Lunch time on a Tuesday. Pub was empty which was good. We needed wheelchair access so they gave us a table close to the door with good access. Kids ordered coke - they were flat and sickly sweet. I had water which was vile. As a group we ordered a variety of food. I ordered a shared platter for me and my daughter. It cost £16. What a joke. We got a handful of chips, 2 small garlic bread, 3 wings( in a shared platter for 2), 3 burnt onion rings and a small bowl of crisps. Utterly disgusting. Hardly any food and what we got was burnt. Tried some of the margarita pizza, it was vile. Cheap nasty cheese. No where near as good as Weatherspoons margarita pizza. Tried some of the burger. The bun was stale and the burger had a weird tinge to it. I never knew a burger could taste so bad. Just remind you all this food came at a premium price. I cannot stress highly enough how much you should avoid this place. Overpriced, nasty horrible food.

Always try and do pit stop here for food/break from travelling to Cornwall and back. Lovelly food, great garden - much better than the services !

Great place to eat, food was good. Dog friendly.

My bus was full and I had to wait an hour. So I thought I would go here for a drink. I was not disappointed. The service was so warm and welcoming and lovely and the pub is clean and tidy. Definitely a good choice to wait for your bus here with a drink. It made me feel like I was on a quest.

Very warm welcome, good, reasonably priced food. Very quiet as it was mid week, plenty of tables

This was a definite 5 out of 5 tonight! We dropped by for the Wednesday night carvery. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, good sized portions for the money. The desserts were yummy too!!! We were here last February and loved it so vowed to return if we were ever in the area again!

Good value, good food, friendly service. Mi By pp

Visited for a carvery and was not disappointed. The food was excellent quality, fresh and plenty of it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cost of the meal was also very well priced. Highly recommend.

Carvery was very disappointing, roasted parsnips were burnt crackling was chewy and not crispy the Yorkshire puddings were flat,the person carving the meat had to keep going out to the kitchen to bring out more veg,he had no help with making sure that the carvery was stocked up,will not be returning.

We didn't have food this visit. We had drinks and snacks or nibbles.. Played a bit of pool too

Having visited this pub 18 months ago this was a more disappointing experience. The front entrance was tired, dirty and cluttered. The interior of the pub needs a lick of paint and a good clean. There was a flower vase in the ladies loo with murky water in it and no flowers. The blonde landlady or manager was lovely, friendly and helpful. However the place was deserted on a Friday afternoon. Our ploughman’s and steak baguette were tasty. This place needs some urgent TLC.

Great Sunday lunch! We couldn’t fault it, plenty to eat and great taste. Good value for money when there’s only two of you, it’s cheaper here than to cook at home! (And you don’t have the washing up to do-bonus!)

Me and my family came in a few days ago about 7pm and the staff didn't seem to care at all. We ordered food and chef microwave did a horrible job. We also had a carvery that because it was later in the evening it was cold and stale safe to say the next morning I did not feel good at all. On the bright the chips was good and crispy.

Unfortunately, today at the Carvery was a very disappointing experience. The beef was so rare, we even heard the Carver questioning it!! The swede was so runny it looked like it had been liquidised, the parsnips so burnt you couldn't chew them, the green beans were absolutely tasteless. Used to be a fairly regular visitor but can find much better in the area so regrettably we won't be back.

Great mid week carvery with so much choice

We had a lovely Sunday carvery, the choice of meat and veg was great. However there was no adequate baby changing facility, only a change mat near the sink in a tiny gap which is not hygienic or safe. Despite this we had a lovely meal.

Guys, thank you for another amazing New Year's Eve party. Sky Lizard are truly amazing and we hope you keep them on your books (Weary-Fest). Well done to all the staff who worked tirelessly but most of all to all the other revellers who also made the evening special. So many returning familiar faces. A truly spectacular evening ! You are the best Debbie & Darren Ward

Met family here for lunch. The pub was a little cold but the food was very good and lots of it. The barman was very attentive and pleasant and we had an enjoyable couple of hours

Went to collumpton to see family who had just moved down there and arranged to meet and Eat at the Weary traveller . 1st impression in eating g area was ok unfortunately the food didnt live up to expectations and the beer was the worst ive ever drank, suppose to be Coors but in reality not a clue so got Carling and it looked and tasted exactly the same as the Coors. 🤮🤮 Went in pool room were the bar area was well in need of a lick of paint it was cold and not welcoming oh and not reasonably priced.. Deffo wont return..

Had the Christmas meal. Plenty of food, very hot and tasty covering all courses. Very pleasant and efficient service.

What a beautiful meal , we all had different and every meal was great. the pub was great and the staff were so friendly . Will definitely return .

Called in here today...what a great find, we had a family lunch here which was delicious, all freshly cooked, nice and hot and tasty, very reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and helpful 🙂 nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend a visit, we will definitely meet with our family here again. Dog friendly Big car park. Easy to find

Excellent calvery, we had a table of 8 and was able to get seated and eat ontime. Selection of 4 meats - turkey, beef, pork and ham of which you are allowed 2, portions of meat was very fair and they were all cooked to perfection. Nice selection of veg, sauces. Good drinks menu with prompt table service.

A pretty grim pub right next to the motorway. Prices are reasonable but the quality of food was poor. I had a very poor pizza and my wife had a sandwich with (barely warm) overcooked chips. We couldn't wait to leave

Staff brilliant, food well priced and far above average. We all loved it.

Not a bad pub but I do feel like the tables could be arranged better

Called in on our way home from devon . Pub was empty apart from a ptivate party in next room . Never been here before.

Incredible Grill night menu on offer, so many options! I went for the lamb and just wow! Service was immense! Hats off to all the staff!

This is a handy place to stop it's just off the M5 junction 28 it's so handy for a drink and a bite to eat,rather than get ripped off at the motorway services and pay very high prices.The food is lovely and cooked fresh to order and as you will see by my photos you get a really good portion,the landlady and her lovely young waitress made you fell very welcome.we will have to try their Sunday carvery have heard it’s very nice............. Popped in here again for the Sunday carvery,well what can I say it was brilliant value for the money,They do three meals,small, standard and large,we both opted for the standard meals of which you can have two types of meat if you wish.There were three meats on offer,Beef,Turkey and Pork,then help your self to as much vegetables as you like........I can highly recommend this place,you will not be disappointed.....👍

Hands down, one of the best carverys we've had! 🙌 staff were friendly and very funny! Thoroughly enjoyed it and will 100% be coming again!

This venue is really relaxing and especially to night great entertainment. Especially Naylee. I will go again. The food I saw looked good so next time I will eat there.

Excellent food excellent atmosphere

Stopped off for a bite to eat with friends, the lady who served us was very welcoming and looked after us, the food was lovely. I had prawn sandwich on brown bread which was delicious, it also came with salad, coldslaw and chips 😋 we sat outside as the weather was beautiful 😍

Never been here before, met some friends for a drink and something to eat. Service was excellent and the food was really good and very reasonably priced would recommend

Karina behind the bar needs a pay rise she went above and beyond for us ❤️

Had a couple of drinks and some food with a friend. The food was awful. Worst pizza I’ve ever eaten, so much so I left half of it despite being super hungry. It was undercooked and the meat was like rubber.

We chose fish and chips. Together with our friends the meal took one hour to arrive! To say it was mediocre is not exaggerating. We've never seen such small fish pieces. Three sprats would have been a comparison, Sad chips tiny spoon of peas. Inexperienced and poorly trained waitress, and we weren't even ordered a sweet or coffee. Won't go there again. We were only charged for one meal rather than two. But it didn't make up for such a poor exprence.

One of the worst pizzas I ate in my life. They buying cheap base in store, adding some ingredients (far too much sour tomato sauce) and serving as freshly made. Service wasn't bad tbh. Stinks in whole building. Not recommend at all.

It said on the wall 'no such thing as strangers just travellers we haven't met yet' and actually that's what it felt like. Good hearty food, quick service and friendly staff. Dogs welcomed.

Food was lovely. Burger was fresh and extremely tasty. Hospitality was equally as fab. We will return A**

Empty, must have been a busy service as the place was dishevelled and the staff looked tired. Had a nice refreshing pint in the huge and completely empty beer garden!

Great tasting carvery but one complaint the food not hot enough

Amazing place tasty food and great service dogs welcome

Had the carvey must say I am very disappointed after looking at the reviews before we went and having eaten off their regular menu which was lovely. Somthing wasn't right today tasted like tomato soup in the gravy it was orange in colour. Stuffing balls not cooked through, Yorkshire doughy just all round bad carvey. Staff were friendly portions were large but the food it's self let it down.

Good was okish. Not very big portions sizes. Had food and one drink and left. No napkins with the food. We sat outside so had to get our own condiments and cutlery. Will definitely not be going back again

Peter Bristol going home from Newton Abbot races just took a chance looking in Collumpton for somewhere to eat Just off Junction 28 of the M5 lovely stop off here, found by chance, the 3 of us had the lovely fish and chips and I had a lovely pint of Otters Ale, the staff we dealt with were great, definitely on our list when passing next time

Really good food and service Dog friendly and good play area for the little ones

Just off Junction 28 of the M5 lovely stop off here, found by chance, the 3 of us had the lovely fish and chips and I had a lovely pint of Otters Ale, the staff we dealt with were great, definitely on our list when passing next time

Stopped here on our way home, it was a really hot day so sat in the pub garden which is really big and dog friendly, plenty of seating plus it has a stage at the far end for live music also a nice sized play area for kiddies. The staff were very friendly and helpful, I know it's on a busy road but out in the garden didn't really notice the traffic and had lovely cold drinks on a hot day, didn't try any food so couldn't comment on this.

Stopped for lunch here. Was quiet at the time. Service and food were excellent.

This pub is dirty Bar staff are rude and service is poor Food The food was poor quality and over cooked. Will not be returning to this place

Lovely place and friendly staff , chicken that came out was very dry but overall would visit again

Stopped at this friendly little pub for a drink whilst we waited for a car repair. Lovely service, lovely drinks and great seating. We highly recommend visiting if you're looking for somewhere to chill out in the sun.

Eaten here twice now. Saturday lunch and Sunday Carvery… both occasions the food was fantastic, service friendly and quick and they are so dog friendly!!

I was so disappointed with the meal I had at this pub Sunday 19th March, for Mother's Day. When I booked I was offered the time 12.30, which I took, and was never informed that coming at 12.30 would mean I had less time to...

Took family out for a carvery and the meal was very good will recommend going there for a meal.

First time there for Sunday carvery,can truly say one of if not the best around,highly recommend

Had a carvery, was a good meal the only down point and why I have marked this down to its ok is the heating needs to be put on. Even the staff had to ware coats to keep warm. I will try again as the food was very good.

Really lovely food and staff very nice. Good night out 😊

Popped in on a very quiet Thursday evening. Burger & katsu Salmon curry - absolutely stunning. We both felt truly stuffed and satisfied by the end, really excellent food. Staff really polite and lovely, nice relaxing vibes, will be definitely visiting again more frequently.

There are better establishments on cullompton high street for food and drink. Better price, quality and quantity. Although if you want a calm atmosphere during the day... the bar staff are kind and welcoming. The ownners are insulting and rude. They're the only ones over 50. My partner cut his lip on a broken glass on his first sip and was insulted. We were left shocked with the customer service by the owners and the bar staff share our view. Better off getting a beer and a sandwich from the petrol station X

Wow! Super dog friendly- food was home cooked and so tasty- and good sized portions too. The welcome was so nice, we would strongly recommend stopping off here for food

It's ok, the food was average and the atmosphere was a bit low. Lots of potential given the proximity to the motorway to be a great spot.

We always go to the weary traveller when visiting my brother in Cullompton and today as always was a great meal. the whole bar and restaurant has been beautifully decorated since our last visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and we will certainly go back again when in Cullompton

Visit regularly with friends...Good food, friendly service and very reasonable prices...

Clean and friendly. Will return.

Decent pub food. Decent range of beers etc. great staff

An excellent evening so thank you to all the staff and the band that made it possible. As promised the staff reserved a table for my wife and i which we greatly appreciated for our dancing feet. Just the right amount of guests so not...

New year evening ruined by a kid running around and doing cartwheels in front of the bar .left after 1 drink won't be going back.Thanks.

Great food and good menu options, completely fair pricing. The pub is laid out and designed nicely, with good facilities like a pool table, darts, sports screens, plus a separate large room for dining, decent sized car park and right on the road so easily accessible. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly which I appreciate (I find a lot of places aren't like this any more and it really puts a downer on things, so this is a big plus for me when staff greet you with a smile). Was just passing from having seen a friend in Cullompton but would actually return again with the family now that I've discovered this pub - highly recommend, thanks!

Very lovely carvery and great to take children as the menu was good and smaller meals available price was great also highly recommended

Very nice pub a minute from the M5 which serves great food with a warm welcome. Well recommended. Large beer garden, easy parking, dog friendly pub - inside and out.

Not too many people, a little chilly sat at the table. Helpful staff. Soup was homemade and amazing.

Dreadful, so sad because was amazing before COVID. Bad service, poor food, such a shame.

Giving a shout out the the whole team at The Weary Traveller for their excellent food and service. They hosted our local run club Christmas do last night, with 23 to look after they did a brilliant job. The food was really good, not easy with a group of this size. Thanks guys - really looking forward to coming back.

Friendly staff, made me and my dogs feel very welcome.

The Weary is a fantastic spot, the crew are always super friendly, great cider and the carvery is epic (vego nut roast was great)

Was actually visiting for a wake. Very warm and welcoming.

Lovely pub. Drinks very cheap. Decor nice and bright. Plenty of seating available. Large beer garden

Ours was a late booking on Saturday evening, four adults for a 1200 carvery the following day. Unexpectedly on arrival our numbers had increased to 9😬 ie 2 children, 7 adults 3 of which were vegetarian😬 Not a problem …despite being busy, 2 tables joined...

Friendly team, very dog Friendly pub, good outdoor seating. Only had a quick drink so can't comment on food

A family meal was spoilt by the shocking attitude of the so called manager. No care given, avoid if you want to be treated with respect. On the plus side the food was good.

Was well pleased to find this yet another dog friendly pub, which I love. We ended up there two day on the trot and even got to spend some time with Poppy :) Staff I will say were friendly and helpful, we first had food...

M5 J28 stop off. After trying the publicised boat and anchor which was closed and looking mighty tired, drove a couple of stops down and went to the Weary Traveller just off J28. Enjoyable food and drink in nice surroundings. Noted away for next M5 journey

Just had a lovely family meal here. A lovely lady with short dark hair was so lovely and accommodating. We were starving and couldn't find anywhere open to eat (everywhere said due to staff shortage, everywhere we went we were told the kitchens were closed). This place stayed open and gave us service with a smile. Highly recommend 👌 Burger and chips were to die for!

A very friendly and thoughtful landlady was our first positive experience. The pub is very pleasant with outside space and a beer garden. We had a lovely lunch. My Stilton Ploughman’s was delicious and a generous portion. My husband enjoyed his steak and onion baguette with fries and coleslaw. Dessert was the New York cheesecake, also scrumptious with a choice of cream or ice cream etc. There is a large car park and the pub is sited just off the M5. It is certainly worth a visit.
