The White Ball Inn in Mid Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely atmosphere cheap drinks friendly staff

My wife and family only popped in for a coffee so can't really say anything about food. It's a lovely place.

Noticed it wasn’t very busy and fancied a quick breakfast so I ordered scrambled egg on toast with a couple of hash browns, food came very quickly and very hot, tasted great and as for the price point you really can’t fault it highly recommended and will defo be going again real soon

We love Wetherspoons. Good food and service. Cheap tasty food. You can't go wrong with spoons

Very unfriendly staff Poor service for drink Good service for food.

Wetherspoons have changed their menu, very little choice, don't enjoy going there anymore

Have been to a lot of weatherspoons and they have been very clean and presentable this pub looks tired definitely needs to be refurbished but the food and the staff was brilliant 👏 👌

Very pretty pub with waterside views and beautiful flowers On the main road but there is a convenient public car park Nice clean downstairs ladies lavatory Good coffee and we had a pleasant snack meal Other people's food looked good

Its a busy spoons. Stuffy and dim.

Cheep and cheerful, what more can you say 😏

Great value with their club meals. English breakfast and curry along with afternoon deals are my favourite, Nice real fire too able to enjoy drink in front of roaring 🔥

One surly staff on approach nearly made me turn back. Next one was ok, but chose a menu for its sticky soy and got salad dressing instead, then told by the chef, I should of been told at point of ordering they no longer had that on offer! Cheap and cheerful comes to mind. Outside is nice on a summers day.

Got kicked out of spoons as apparently school kids are supposed to carry their passports on them to eat here, despite the fact that we are 16. Sat there for 20 minutes and they waited until we had ordered (and paid) for our meals and (NON ALCOHOLIC) drinks before kicking us out. They gave us a refund receipt that will take a few days to come through. We caused no harm and ended up having to walk around in the rain, starving and in desperate need of food. Ended up with a Tesco meal deal, as we had no money left, and sitting on some hard concrete by the road. Truly hurt by this experience, will never be returning even when I carry my passport on me. P.S. the only decent things were the toilets (10/10) would use toilets again.

Staff were miserable , so went elsewhere for food and drinks

Fabulous food! Fabulous prices! Helpful staff.. it was so good we went two days on run and might even go again tomorrow!!

Pub was very busy on a BH weekend so high noise levels. Usual spoons fayre but seemed a little better prepared with good service. Great for a food 'pitstop' at reasonable prices. If you want to relax with a pint go elsewhere.

Typical Spoons, cheap and cheerful, big beer garden, next to the river! Loads of seating inside and out

They forgot about my order and left my food under the heat lamp, it came out dry and cold.

Couldn't do my meal eventhough ordered and in stock on app. Done my meal without asking me about a swap. Food arrived cold. And then my extras were non existent so had to ask for a refund. Staff not very friendly.

Great service, a lovely place for a meal and drink, highly recommended.

I didn't have food on this visit drink and a packet of crisps... Lovely pub.

Consistently good, I like the predictability of the chain.

Everything you would expect from a Wetherspoons. Good to see that the car park is free on a Sunday.

A very very good breakfast thank you

Food not what I would say was good every time I have been its never hot very often havnt got what I asked for

Had fish and chips on special offer and 2 coffees. Less than £7 jolly good value

Very good curry night on Thursdays. Good service, especially for my friend who is mildly retarded and his husband who was squealing like a pig. A good time throughout. Really good quality balti dishes and crockery in general.

Great priced food for what it is, hot and quick service, friendly staff. Good place to go and get out the cold and wet.

Unfortunately wet outside, but warm inside.

It's a spoons, same as every other

The staff looked under age which is great as they didn't Id me. I managed to find mistletoe and had a rate good snog but they this fella with white lightening objected shouting "hands off my lady friend". A conversation began but luckily the youthful staff asked him to leave as the cider was too high quality for the establishment. I finished the evening in the Johns. Best night ever .

Nice clean weatherspoons in a good location near the river, transparent floor near the bar showing the underneath. 6 hand pumps, well kept ale and a friendly atmosphere.

Service was great and surprisingly fast! Quality food and betty drink.. 😉 will visot again soon.

Bar was empty took the person behind the bar to service us. Very poor delivery. Did think about eating but decided not to

The food is great so is the service, i enjoyed it

It's OK same as most other weatherspoons

Normal wetherspoons which means you know what you're getting. Few things not available on the menu.

Excellent service food ready in 10 minutes and delicious. An excellent find.

It was a Thursday lunchtime, it was quite busy but there were empty tables and we didn't have to wait at the bar to order, the food came out hot with not too much of a wait, food was good, I had a bacon cheese and egg muffin and my hubby had the fish and chips, cheap and cheerful!

You can't beat a spoons. Food is good and prices are great.

Nice atmosphere, not too big, pleasant staff, very helpful.

Awful staff- service & attitude. Rude & miserable! For a pink haired girl behind the bar, it was too much effort to serve individual customers! Her colleague took the same attitude because we didn’t want her to serve us anymore. Then ‘just because he could’ he asked my friend to leave when she questioned their attitudes. Then the ‘so called’ security guard (thug) man handled my female friend off the premises whilst swearing quietly at her. This all happened just because one person (pink haired girl) was unhappy. No-one should be rude to customers for no reason & an apology or to just snap out if it would have probably stopped this escalating as it did. These people really should not work in customer services or certainly need a lot more training. Managers should keep a closer eye on their staff. The security guard was totally over the top & used unnecessary force. The police have been informed. 3 people could have resolved this simply but couldn’t. It’s shocking what they think they can get away with. I will never return! No loss!

Took less than 5 muns for food to come, burnt tiny half slice of bacon a joke shop rubber egg only half right was sausage, my wife had jacket and chille the potato was hot but the chillie was chilly and cold we finished our food an 30 mins after ordering our drinks came. I have visited 67 spoons and this is second worse very bad quality

Great little find while on holiday, in a lovely building, good service and as always good value

I loved coming here for food. Always cheap and tasty. But my last visit unfortunately put me off for life!! The mash looked like it came from a microwave meal and had sat on the side all day! And to be honest the chicken didn't look edible - I can't imagine I'd have been feeling very healthy of I'd eaten it. When I asked for it to be changed, the look I got from the member of staff made me change my mind and just ask for my money back. The bar lady was lovely and apologetic, but I was shocked and disappointed at the quality of food and won't be risking going back! My partners meal didnt look particularly appetising, and although he attempted to eat it as he was starving, he also was not pleased with what we had been served. Again, this is unfortunate as previous visits were lovely. I don't know if the chef has changed but the quality of food certainly has!

Terrible pub, tables are all sticky and the pub looks grubby. Beer was quite warm which wasnt great.

We had a really enjoyable afternoon

All round good service. Clean. Quick. Reasonable. No complaints

eher ruhiges Wetherspoon-Pub mit üblicher Karte-schöne Lage am Fluß; netter Service sehr bemüht-es wird auch nachgefragt!

Super 'Spoons next to the river with a public car park next to it. Great value as ever. Large choice of ales at £2:55 a pint. 5 star rating reflects the value and Wetherspoon values, with clean toilets and fast service.

Lovely location for a beer and food

The staff (only the young girls) were friendly and understanding I can't say that about the rest. The food was ok and cheap like in every Wetherspoon. We entered the pub and sat in the garden as it was very dark inside. We did not see any NO DOGS ALLOWED signs nor anyone said anything. We ordered our drinks and food and we were happily consuming it when the waitress came along and told us to put a dog in the car or leave it behind the fence. It's not the problem that dogs weren't allowed, we would not enter if the signs were more visible. The problem was lack of customer service and a bad approach from the staff and manager. We will not be back.

Very poor serving bar staff!! Reece, and others a waste of time. Expect a little better from a weatherspoons

Ordered a double American burger and straight away sent it back because both burgers were cremated.Waited 15 mins for a replacement meal.

Food was good. Only complaint was that the poppadoms were soft

Besonders zu empfehlen ist das Gericht Chicken Massala

The 3 star is for the service at the bar. Priority was given to those ordering on the App. A few people walked off. Service at the table was good and so was the food.

Had an enjoyable couple of hours here

Very quick service considering that it was so busy,food was great,toilets were spotless,so all in all very good

We stopped here for something to eat on way to East Purton. Food was good, staff very friendly and helpful. The toilets are wonderful .

Went for breakfast just looked like it was thrown on plate cold waited ages awful

Lovely pub, what more can I say

Clean Pub, with Cheap food, cheap beer, what more could you ask ?!

It is difficult to say other than Wetherspoons in general serve good beer and food at a fair price, the White Ball is well in line with this.. But I still miss the time when Wetherspoons served the 14oz Aberdeen Angus steak, the smaller ones they serve now are somehow short of the mark. Is it just me, or do good big steaks and strong beers form part of an enjoyable life.

Can't complain about food it's cheap so you pay for wat u get

Incredibly busy on a Weds teatime - a good sign. This was a cheap but filling meal. Although they'd run out of gammon, so chose steak this was cooked really well. Service was prompt and very friendly. Only concern- the few free tables were piled up with plates etc. and needed clearing but staff looked really busy.

Just walked in and the bar is covered in glasses and the place is so untidy. The staff are very pleasant but just keep walking around the mess instead of having one person delegated to tidy the bar .they just need proper training . Shame !

Friendly staff, unfortunately there were issues with running out of drinks? Staff were apologetic so apart frim that all good and the pizza was good.

Wetherspoon prices are always low

The perfect bar in Tiverton. With brilliant prices. I highly recommend using the wetherspoons app for a great table service. Great place for a meet up.

Food was cold and when told about it they were very indifferent although the server tried to sort it out.

Friendly staff and efficient service. Good range of indoor and outdoor seating. Nice history to the place as well.

Nice pub by river,large garden,has well covered in glass to walk on in bar .Small staircase to toilets but disabled access toilets available on ground floor.Good hot food,had steak which was cooked to perfection.Lovely Wetherspoons.

Very Good Curry with crisp poppadoms and decent nann bread. Cheap drinks prices as with all Wetherspoons. Food was much better than the average Spoons.

Personally I’m not a fan of weatherspoons pubs but this one is ok. The staff are nice and I have always found the atmosphere ok in this pub. I rate 5 knowing it isn’t the best pub in the world but it has character and is underrated. It definitely doesn’t deserve some of the hate it gets. I mean it’s by a river, that’s a winner in itself.

Service was great but should really consider more options for meals for people who suffer with celiac disease.

Pop in when in the area knowing that you're going to have a nice meal.

We was on a little break when visiting this pub, great choice, great value for money (which Is always welcome In today's climate) and the phone was what you paid for, nothing more nothing less.

Good pub food and helpful staff

Exactly what you want in a Spoons. Quick service, half decent grub. And cheap too. Bonus if its sunny so you can sit in the beer garden! As weatherspoons goes. It's a pretty good one.

Majestic, Greatness in one place

Quick service, good traditional pub food, friendly staff

Clean and tidy pub with a warm feel for a "Spoons" Staff friendly and good fun when we visited which made for a great time there

NICE place cheap and good drinks and food

During a total washout break in Tiverton this place came in very handy, usual Wethies fare, good beer at realistic prices and reasonable food.

Service was amazing, staff friendly. Got to say the gent with tattoo on his neck was lovely always smiling and happy to help. Food was good too. Definitely going back again.

It's a spoons... Does what it says... One member of staff a little, well rude! But OK otherwise

The food wasn't great presentation looked like it had been slapped on the plate but tasted amazing. The pub was very busy but the staff was still collecting plates and glasses so a well done is deserved. Just the presentation and my daughters pizza was a bit uncooked.

After having a recent, most disappointing experience at a JD Wetherspoons pub in Okehampton we were reluctant to try one again in a hurry. However having visited the White Ball Inn in Tiverton we were pleasantly surprised. The food was prompt and satisfying while the staff were friendly and courteous. A polar opposite experience to that of Okehampton. Just goes to show the difference poor management can make from one franchise establishment to another.

This is a nice and friendly place with very reasonable prices. The outdoor seating area is well laid out and spacious making it a lovely place to sit in the sunshine. The food was good quality and I would certainly go there again next time I'm in the area.

Lovely pub. Meal was great, fast service. Helpful and friendly staff. Very large seating area's. Outside seating also available. Pay and display carpark to rear of the pub.

Food was cold , staff members were ok and I have not seen this recur in any other wetherspoons so not the best journey, won't be going back

Waiting for the rain to stop else I wouldn't have come in I would have cracked right on what else can I say

Great meal and drinks came out very quickly for Saturday lunch time.

Dreadful steak, ordered the gourmet sirloin medium rare and got what looked more like a flat frying steak medium to well done as it was so thin it would have been impossible to do any other way. The onion rings were forgotten and had to ask for them, ordered scampi as a extra and got what looked like fried cheese with a dip , the peppercorn sauce that came with the steak was bland as cardboard, truly dreadful as I said , I have a suspicion the steak was sent back by someone else and reheated for us, it was that bad. This Wetherspoons has always been poor for food but I thought It had been improving but this is right back to its worst

Service very good. Quality off food served . Disappointed . Overcooked on some items . All day brunch . Our local transport cafe is far better tasting

Large came out cold (as usual) sent it back, hardly any better when it came back. Porridge was inedible. Sent it back for eggs Benedict which we asked to come out with the replacement breakfast. It didn’t. It arrived 10 mins after. Had to pay extra for it even though the whole experience was rubbish. The last time for us but I bet Witherspoon’s don’t care a toss.

It was my first visit to this wetherspoons. I ordered a large breakfast plus 2 slices of black pudding. Later on, I came down with food poisoning . I would recommend that everyone who eats here does so with caution

Gute Biere im Angebot, schnelles nettes Personal.

Staff are amazing. Food excellent and can be ordered on app in pub!! Coffee refill facility brilliant idea for drivers 😂 Haven't changed my opinion - still great
