Friary Mill Bakery, Southway in Plymouth

Fabulous restaurant. The food and service out of this world, We ordered plates to share and the duck was so good (melted in the mouth) we ordered it again! Booked in for Sunday lunch next week and can’t wait to go back. Best meal I have had in a long while,

Don’t bother, service very slow and it wasn’t even busy, when we remind them we were still waiting we were told we haven’t even started your order thanks for reminding us! lunch food was very average. Wouldn’t bother again, shame as a lovely location.

Just had a lovely lunch and catch up with my friend here. It’s a lovely little place, with delicious food and drinks. I tried the boyga and a totally bananas smoothie which didn’t disappoint. The hash browns are amazing!! Would highly recommend this place :) will definitely be returning soon to try more on the menu.

We visited The Fig Tree @ 36 for lunch, and while the food was enjoyable, the overall experience fell a little short of expectations. The dishes we ordered were well-prepared and flavourful, using quality ingredients. However, the service lacked the warmth and engagement that can elevate a meal beyond just being “good”. While everything ran smoothly from a functional standpoint and nothing was outright wrong, there was little effort from the waiting staff to describe the dishes or add any personal touch to the experience. A bit more enthusiasm or insight into the menu would have made a real difference, especially when trying something new. We also would have liked to have tried the ‘Trust the Chef’ menu, but were not advised at the time of booking online, or during our confirmation call that this needed to be booked in advance. If you're looking for a meal that is reliably tasty but without much interaction or extra hospitality, this spot does the job. However, if you appreciate a dining experience that feels more welcoming and engaging, you might leave wishing for a bit more connection.

Food was nice and service was good
