The Thirsty Farmer - Carte

Excellent food really enjoyed it and very friendly staff , lovely pub in the centre of Whimple well worth a visit

Disgusting attitude of staff, trying to charge twice for food and drinks when it was pay on order, I would not recommend attending this venue.

We booked a fish and chips lunch for 18 people and it was absolutely fantastic. They must have enormous fish down there in Devon. Everything was cooked and presented well. Voir le carte

There was no one in there on a Saturday lunchtime when it would have been heaving when Donna and Mark were there. Food was poor, service ****, not going to last long. Shame another beautiful old country pub will be gone.

Such lovely staff very welcoming. We went for Sunday lunch. Amazing! Meat was lovely, loads of veg, gravy so tasty. Wanted a sweet but couldn't manage it! We will be back. Also a little and big paddling pool out the back. Will be taking my grandkids. work in progress but looks inviting)

We arrived on a Tuesday after 2pm. The pub doesn't generally serve food on Tuesdays, but their kitchen had been open for a wake. The landlady kindly offered us a few of the simpler items from the menu, and we both chose lasagna, which turned out to be very nice. Good food and exceptional service. We'll be back. Voir le carte

Worst experience and food ever!! no welcome on arrival, menu,s eventually given, then taken away by bar lady , who seemed very unsure of what she was doing!! Very unptoffesional welcome and service, we would of walked out and found somewhere else, but kids hungry and weather awful, to look around for somewhere else.

The Thirsty Farmer has always been an excellent venue, but one which is currently going through a change of ownership. Unfortunately, the disruption is showing itself in average food, inattentive bar service, a visibly grubby interior and surprisingly poorly maintained outdoor spaces. I think it has a two month window to raise its game or the clientele that travelled some distance to eat there will simply go somewhere else.

Absolutely diabolical! 1hr wait for a table (as apparently they were full) then 1hr 20 wait on food for food that was poorly reheated. The chef needs to learn where the salt is kept. Pork was tough, roast potatoes had been reheated and fried, veg was overboiled, Yorkshire pudding was stale and over reheated. There was 5 tables total during our service and 12 tables total for the day not sure how his service and food would warrant a 1hr 20 minute wait. Not one check on the table, whilst waiting and during the meal, had to ask for the ETA, was told 5 minutes and it was a further 25 minutes. Only put 1 star because you can’t put 0. Will not be coming back, will not be recommending. Voir le carte
