The best restaurants in South West

Lucia was a great host, efficient, knowledgeable on menus and friendly.

Visited twice in a few weeks. It gets busy. The food is a notch above the usual pub fare

Lovely cafe, we stopped off in appledore and found this little cafe that served a lovely BLT sandwich and soup. The bread was amazing quality and the sweet and savoury scones were delicious. Thankyou

What a lovely place top marks for everything. So worth a visit.

Ordered two celebration cakes for a 21st & a 20th birthday, from over 200miles away on a recommendation. Contacted DidiCakes via their website & had a prompt response, warm & friendly & with great attention to detail. The two orders were carefully confirmed & when we collected them on the day, I was delighted as they were exactly as we hoped they would be - the most beautiful semi-naked Victoria sponge covered in raspberries & 20 mini chocolate cupcakes! Plus candles & toppers! So much ‘wow factor’ & both absolutely delicious. Huge thanks to Andrew & the team! Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Loaded fries are incredible. Delicious, so generous, the chicken is amazing quality and it's such good value. Everything is incredible there to be honest, but these really stand out

This pub is wonderful! The staff (owners?) were very welcoming, and the locals equally so - slipping into relaxed and engaging conversations. The beer was so smooth and warming. Loved it and wish I lived nearby !

Friendly place and excellent food

Quite a few of the drink items on the menu weren’t available, this was the only short coming. Otherwise a lovely place to have a drink with friends

I very enjoyable meal, smokey and delicious. Quite atmosphere and great service. Worthy of a special occasion.

First experience of the Olive Tree was exceptional. Had a lovely evening meal in a welcoming and ambient atmosphere. Enjoy eating out locally and had to leave a review here as the service from Paddy was the best we've received. Highly recommend!

Omg - what a hidden gem. The food was delicious, the service was great. We will be returning haha

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings at Rockbeare Manor since 2018, and it has always been a fantastic experience. The venue’s grounds offer breathtaking backdrops for photos, while the ceremony room is bathed in beautiful natural light. The bridal suite is an absolute standout—by far the largest and most luxurious I’ve seen! And let’s not forget the delicious food and the incredibly professional event team. Rockbeare Manor truly has it all, and I look forward to capturing many more unforgettable moments at this wonderful venue. - Martin Dabek Photography

Wow! I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Incredibly helpful, delicious food / drinks - the perfect hosts. We ordered starters to share (the cheese melting pot and some squid), then I had the best venison of my entire life and my boyfriend had a delicious burger (50% beef, 50% streaky bacon). The chef, Ben, came out to speak with us as I have a potentially tricky lupin allergy and he talked us through all their local suppliers and ingredients used, he was happy to adjust any dish to suit which was so appreciated. We felt at ease the second we walked in, as the bar / wait staff were so friendly and helpful. The pub itself is the perfect blend between old / new, with fairy lights to help ambiance and wooden beams / original features to anchor the place. 10/10 would recommend in an instand! PLEASE GO TO THIS PLACE!

I don’t usually leave reviews but tonight Hixon needs a shout out! I originally booked at table for 6 for my partner’s birthday the day before, last minute thing, and then it turned out that more guests would be attending. When informing of the possibility of the guest change to accommodate 12, Jess, the GM, she kindly offered us the private dining room that is situated in the back of the restaurant. It fitted us perfectly! We came on the Wednesday night for the Limitless Streak and Fries night, absolutely ideal for a big party, no fuse about the bill at the end of the night, as we all paid individually to begin with and paid separately through out our night for drinks. Worked out really well! Everything was made so comfortable by Jess, our waitresses Eva and Belle and big shout out to Liz on the bar for the delicious cocktails and drinks As for the food!!! Thank you to the head chef Connor and his team, everyone loved it!!! We never had to ask for more, they were on it! And thank you for his birthday dessert! Thank you for accommodating us Hixon, birthday boy and all of us really enjoyed it! Thank you!
