The Wayfarer Inn

One of North Devons hidden Gems . Make sure you visit The Wayfarer . Chris , Tara and the team certainly know how to make you feel welcome . I've been here for a drink a few times now and had a fantastic time with there great selection of beers , spirits and wine . This is the first time I've had an evening meal and this time treated the whole family for mothers day . I left in a proper food coma . Good portions , good service and a great pub . If you are near Instow definitely hunt this place out for good food and drinks and a good time .

Visited here for lunch today and all I can say is everything was amazing good real ales, friendly staff, and amazing food big portions and it all tastes amazing and freshly made. Will definitely be coming back again.

Spent a week in Instow on holiday and came here on numerous occasions. They were very accommodating for a large group (10 of us and 2 dogs). We all had a delicious Sunday roast and have to say it was top notch. Once of the nicest roast beefs I`ve ever had. Really nice veg, decent gravy and the horseradish sauce had some real kick. The beer was very good too. 4 of us (and 1 dog) also went in on a Monday night to watch the live footy game (West Brom won !) and although it was quiet we had a good time. The staff here are really friendly and are good at their jobs. Prices are very reasonable. Would I come here again ? Yes without a doubt. Recommended

Well don't hold your breath if you are looking for the management to care for your safety. We stayed there, fire alarm went off at 4am. Temperature outside minus 3 degrees. Cold, very cold. We were given a room at the top of the very old building. We discovered there was NO ONE ELSE STAYING THERE AND NO WAY OF CONTACTING THE MANAGMENT. We were alone in an old building potentially on fire.There was no answer from any of the rooms, the entrance to the bar was locked. There was only the door to the street. No one came out from any of the cottages in the road. Presumably all empty, holiday lets. No one to respond to the alarm but us.Owner had told us he lived just a few cottages away but NO ONE, NO ONE came to see why the fire alarm was sounding.We called the Brigade naturally. Made our way outside. 4am Minus 3 degrees. The Brigade took over half an hour to arrive from Barnstable. They did a thorough search while we stood outside for what seemed like an hour but wasn't quite that long. No one but no one else was there. The notice about fire said 'assemble at bus stop'. What bus stop? We had just arrived in the village, by car, not by bus. It was dark, 4am, freezing cold, what bus stop? There was no mobile number to call. No one to ask. There was no member of management or staff on the premises, in fact there was no one.Next morning staff had no idea there had been a problem. It was not till 2 days later that the owner appeared (after a written request that he do so as had made no attempt to contact us till then) nonchalantly with a cup of coffee saying 'sorry about the problem the other evening, never happened before'.The street could have burnt down with no one being the wiser. Never going near the place again.

Great weekend in Instow and visited the Wayfarer for their delicious food and beverage. Landlords welcoming and take care of your catering and drinking needs. Will be back soon!
