The best restaurants in South West

Stopped on route home, did not expect much but it was excellent. Pulled pork nacho according to daughter were delicious, jalapeños were a little little bit spicy. Hulk burger was rated 2nd best burger by my son, who lives for burger, only Honest Burger in Brighton was better according to him, this is a high accolade. I do have to agree my double cheese smash burger was lovely, and chips were Season to perfection. Do yourself a favour and visit this place, you’re not going to regret it. 2 burgers, 1 pulled pork nachos and chips all round was about £37. Food is cooked to order so do not expect a drive through experience like Maccies etc

The table we sat at was grubby. As I have cancer we always take disposable wipes to ensure hygiene. A necessary item as the table hadn’t had a good wipe all day. Probably for a goodly while given the state of the small round container that housed the sugar. I was tempted to give it a clean - but didn’t wish to pick it up. Our food order came promptly and was like any other relatively fast food. Acceptable. The staff were friendly and polite and the apple juice very good. The cafe is obviously popular given that it was quite full - but Malmesbury itself has become over-touristy and is in dire need of a sweeping brush or ten. The price was acceptable for three people but next time we shall return to the Abbey cafe.

Ahora, un restaurante local bien establecido, el café produce constantemente comida pegajosa. El servicio es amable y el menú cambia a diario.El estacionamiento puede ser un fastidio, prueba hacia el garaje VW en el cruce. Para los ciclistas, está justo al lado del camino del río y hay un estante para bicicletas dedicado afuera

Very tasty ice-cream, friendly service and great location. Seemed the more popular ice cream place nearby, which is q good sign. Not particularly cheap, but no where is nowadays. Definitely recommend

I had a lovely cappuccino here. It is a small cafe/health shop. It has a chilled out atmosphere. The staff are friendly. I would recommend this place. 👍♥️

Este pequeño salón de té (ahora conocido como Ashwell and Co) es una joya absoluta! Muchas gracias al equipo por acoger el té de la tarde más maravilloso para mi cumpleaños. Absolutamente todo era casero y tan delicioso! Había un par de nosotros con necesidades dietéticas especiales: soy vegano y uno de los participantes tiene necesidades médicas, lo que significa que están en una dieta limitada. Esto no desconcertó en absoluto al equipo: me proporcionaron un té vegano por la tarde y se esforzaron por incluir a la otra persona en mis celebraciones. El salón de té es parte de una tienda que está llena de la más maravillosa selección de ropa vintage y artículos para el hogar. Mientras estuve allí me compré un precioso cardigan de punto que es perfecto para los meses de otoño/invierno. Así que en general salí muy feliz y disfruté mi cumpleaños a fondo. Disfrute de un té por la tarde aquí - no se decepcionará!

What a truly amazing experience, all credit to these fantastic young people. Food was stunning, hospitality was first class. Absolutely recommend the experience. Well done all and THANK YOU hugely.

Tim and Bev, who run the joint, are incredible human beings to be around. The fact that their spot is as popular as it is, is frankly no surprise. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is always gorgeous, and the courtyard - simply divine; a testament to their impeccable taste and their hard work. Yes, you may have to queue occasionally to squeeze in, but it’s worth every moment.

A nice looking place - super clean and very well decorated Menu is extensive and ideal for a quick meal or just a hot drink. Only negative is the choice of music! This makes it a difficult place to stay for long if you do not appreciate One Love (original mix). This is club music. Mindless thumping beat and weird sounds sometimes repeated wailing noises. Asked the staff to find different music. Seems not possible. Shame really. That type of music is not to everyone’s taste. If you are the staff and into clubbing it would be fine. But the staff are not the one’s to choose the music!

Great tasty late afternoon breakfast and toasted scones. Friendly service and ambience. The cafe is a family run business and is located off the main square in Beauminster so could easily be missed. It was a Monday and most of the cafes were closed and the few that were open had only cold food so it was great to find somewhere serving warm food. Look for the orange sign on the square or outside the cafe. The cafe has artwork and crafts on display as well as books and is light and bright.

Stopped here on the off chance as we were passing and were lucky enough to get a table. Good range of choices for vegetarians. Loved the quirky decor. Food delicious.

Enjoyed my first burger at beginning of summer Thought I’d try again Wish I hadn’t. As nearly half an hour for a burger that didn’t fill me up Must be using smaller burgers such s shame.

More than just a leading Tea House, Comins Sturminster Newton is a very coeliac friendly café.  Full 5* review at CoeliacwellNES.com.  They have soft doughy GF gyoza, gluten free sweet treats and obviously phenomenal tea.  A lovely place to watch all the comins and goings, will try out the Bath branch soon!

Beautiful, beautiful place to take a leisurely walk around. Lots of history and the addition of knowledgeable guides was much appreciated.

Wonderful place. Understated kindness and efficiency from the staff. Delicious food. Kofta 👍 toasties 😋 cakes 👍. Coffee is one of the best I have ever tasted. Loved the ambience too.
