  “When we arrived it was busy. We had booked a table and although there were 6 of us the table felt very cramped. The food took a while to come out and even though it was busy was still good. One of our group asked for another drink and gave the young man his glass. We had eaten our food and the drink had still not arrived. Once we had finished our food it took 25 minutes for our plates to be taken away. We were asked if we wanted dessert and gave us the menus. It took another 15 minutes for someone to take our dessert order and even then we had to ask. There seemed to be a lot of chatting around the bar area as by this time the place was fairly quiet. When the desserts arrived one of them was wrong so by the time the right one arrived we were almost finished. The raspberry pavlova had very few raspberries on it, it was mainly sauce. Very disappointing as normally everything is very good”

  “We ordered fish and chips and steak and kidney pudding. Absolutely awful. Couldn't eat it. Battery was chewy, fish was grey. Pudding crust was rock hard and the meat was thick and tasteless.”

  “Visited today as a family of 6. 3 meals were presented in reasonable time with the veg for the group. After waiting 15 minutes or so I asked about the other 3 meals. Another 5 minutes and they were served. By which time the veg had gone cold. I asked for some more which arrived in about another 5 minutes. 2 of us who were served first enjoyed their meal. The cold OAP roasts were not very nice. Catering beef and a bitter tasting gravy. Overall not recommended.”

  “Just off the duel carriageway and behind Trago Newton Abbot. The food and service was excellent. Huge portions reasonable price, loads for the kids to do and a good selection of drinks for the adults. A real hidden gem in my opinion.”

  “Lovely pub which we wished we had found sooner! Staff were very welcoming from start to finish. The garden area was perfect for our daughter, plenty of things to play on including a bouncy castle and climbing frame whilst we had a drink. We really enjoyed the food too which we sat in the bar area for but there was a separate dining area too which seemed lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone with or without kids 😊”

  “We didn’t stay here so I can’t comment on the rooms. We went for a meal, the menu was good, several items caught my eye. The food arrived in good time and was of very good quality. In this time of increasing prices, I found the cost to be reasonable.”

  “First visit to Welcome Stranger for meal this evening, it didn't disappoint. Staff were very welcoming and always smiling no matter how busy it got. Food was proper home cooked, very tasty and ample portions. We both had soup to start (broccoli and stilton) and I had homemade chicken and bacon pie for main. Both were superb. Hubby had lasagne again homemade which he said was delicious. So full couldn't manage a dessert unfortunately. Will definitely be returning”

  “Was good Food. Had a Gammon steak and was cooked very well. Was a tad bit cold as they couldn't get the small fire place going. Service was ok . I would recommend but can't quite give it the 5 stars.”

  “Really great place. Still retains something of a pub feel whilst expanding to larger and airy restaurant beside the original pub. Much prefer the pub atmosphere where service is sharp and efficient. Menu is mammoth and will suit every taste (or at least it should). The legendary 'onion loaf' is offered as a starter. It will easily serve two. BBQ sauce with it and we were set up for a wonderful dinner Well done all.”
