The best restaurants in South West

A very beautiful hotel, large and very clean rooms + large bathrooms, excellent staff, who provide good service, a very reasonable price, a very beautiful garden (at the back of the hotel) in short, highly recommended

Stopped in for late morning brunch on the way to Westonbirt. Excellent food, really tasty, fresh and good portions. Sat in the dog friendly room with our dog, who enjoyed the free biscuits!

Never a dull visit. This place draws a very eclectic clientele. People of all ages and all backgrounds visit and all get along. The most friendly pub on the hill.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and great drinks! However, the small plates were very small for the price, and the scallops were not cleaned well.

Friendly atmosphere, family run business, feels like popping in to see friends. The coffee is really good.

We always make a point of coming here if in town. It is great to support a local business, and the food and service have always been worth walking up town for. Lovely environment with great food and service

Very helpful, attentive staff. Delicious food. Found it by chance, tucked away in a lane, off the main street. Will visit again!

Incredible breakfast for a very reasonable price which included a drink. Friendly staff, this is hands down one of the best breakfasts in the south west. We will be back for sure 😋

Food was great and staff were really lovely.

Mockingbird Mimosa Lounge visit on 19th October 2024 This review has only just been posted as we have been waiting 3 weeks for our refunds. This is for the deposits paid and not taken off our bill and failure to provide tea or coffee. I have previously visited The Mockingbird and have always enjoyed my visit. We booked a colleagues 'leaving do' and decided on ‘Afternoon High Tea’. Unfortunately, there was nothing ‘High’ about it! I was presented with a wooden board containing a mish mash of food, just piled up. Both meat and veggie sandwiches touching and also cakes all on the same board, buried under each other. Quality was cheap, with weird combo of plastic ham and chicken mayo in the same huge thrown together sandwich. The cakes were cheap and shop bought; certainly nothing fancy or enjoyable. Website says £17.50. We had all previously paid a £5 deposit; so I was expecting to pay £12.50. On paying, an incredibly rude woman (Louise) demanded to know who had paid and who had not. I felt like saying ‘’I don’t work here’’ but took the bill to my friends, who settled it immediately. We had spent in the region of £600+ between us. We even paid for a couple of colleagues ‘High Teas’ who had to cancel short notice due to illness, as it was pre-booked. We were not offered any tea or coffee; I did not realise this was actually supposed to be included. On reviewing my bill, the deposit had not been deducted and the charge was £22.50 per person, making my not so fancy tea £27.50. The website also says £14 for 2 cocktails, we were charged £18 for 2, hardly a ‘Happy Hour’. The ‘Gold Star’ goes to the toilet. Unclean and the towel that was hanging on the back of the door was filthy and wet – this had obviously not been changed for some time. Trying to sort this out has been interesting as Louise, who comes over as aggressive and rude, has yet to offer any apology. She even had the cheek to say "I had to turn people away because of you"! We spent a lot of money and had pre-booked! As we all work in the NHS and work to a high standard, I do not expect to be treated like this and will not be returning - You do not deserve our custom, I only hope that this will give you an opportunity to improve things.

Incredibly friendly, fantastic view, and food that nourishes just what the soul needs after a coastal walk (chips, coffee, and a pint). Thank you and will be back soon!!

A traditional cafe with good food and a welcoming atmosphere

Asked for a chicken shish wrap the bloke gives me mixed meat!! I don't eat doner meat!!!! Then when it comes to pay... He says it's £9.50 but the second time I've asked how much it was for the wrap he said a higher price. He makes his own prices as he goes along! When I asked him to tell me the price again, his response was £10 !! He hasn't put any prices for wraps on his menu!!! Then he changes my mate for the same food plus he's had extra chips less than me!!

Excellent staff! Very clean! Lovely place ran by a wonderful family! Great Sunday Lunches as well as monthly Curry nights.

The king prawn korma was very expensive for what it was, it only had 5 prawns in it and was £16.
