You can always expect consistency when visiting wetherspoons, our visit to the White Ball was as we have become to expect with good service, hot food and good value Drinks.

Okay have to say we were disappointed today, there gluten free options are becoming less and less. We did manage the Christmas dinner but they ran out of stuffing and they did not bring the gravey until the meal was nearly finished even after asking several times.

This place has changed beyond all recognition, I last visited in the 90's. But places change and the White Ball has established itself as a generic Wether Spoons, however it's great value and brilliantly run. The breakfast is excellent value, there are plenty of options for drinks, and the outside area is well laid out. Recommended.

The food in this wetherspoons is ok, we have been a couple of times and each time the order has either been missing items, overcooked or missing altogether when one of our party didn't get their order at all. The staff did not seem engaged in solving the issues which is a shame as this would have gone along way to making the experience better. There is a public carpark to the side with easy access to wetherspoons if entering from the back.

I visit different Wetherspoons and often arrive in time for breakfast. It was a Saturday morning the White Ball was quite busy but I had no problem finding a clean quiet table. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was well presented, and good value as usual. I had time that afternoon to call in for a quick pint of real cider which was good before my bus home.

One surly staff on approach nearly made me turn back.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

We visited today on my husbands birthday with our 9 year old son at lunchtime. I’d heard of this place before as we live only 20 mins away in Exeter but had never got round to going. Today we decided to do a walk along the canal and pop into the pub for lunch. We hadn’t booked but there was a table free for us. For a Tuesday lunchtime post Christmas there were a fair few people in there eating which is always a good sign. The two young guys who served us today were fantastic. Smiley, upbeat, helpful and service on point. They truly are an asset to the pub. The food was incredible and the look and feel of the place was wonderful, it’s a real gem. I eat out regularly with various groups of friends and family and will definitely be back many a time again. Thank you for a fantastic visit.

Excellent find whilst on our holiday in Devon, we stopped several times for a drink and had one meal. Great value for money, I had steak, and 2 others had chicken dishes, large portions, and all cooked to perfection. This place is dog friendly, a great little snug area where we could sit with them.
