The best restaurants in South West

Attended Apex for a work three-course Christmas dinner where I left starving. My vegetarian main was three small Arancini balls. No vegetables, not sitting on a bed of vegetables, no sides or sauce - just 3 balls. The fact I paid £60 for that is embarrassing and we were all laughing around the table at how utterly appalling it was. Everyone else sat around with a small roast dinner. We asked where the rest of the food was and I got gifted a small bowl of dry unseasoned cabbage. Categorically the worst Christmas dinner I've ever had.

Thought we were just going to a cafe on the beach. How wrong we were!! Compliments to the chef. The food was absolutely amazing! Staff were very accommodating. Will definitely be back. One of the nicest places we have found. See you doon

If 'Leah C' is not the manger, then make her one! Excellent customer service! Thank you for making our evening fantastic.

Yummy food, we ordered Pad Thai, green curry was yummy. Service was good. Get busy so book table Food was good we would recommend if you like Thai

8 of us came on a Monday evening and had a fabulous meal and the service could not be faulted.

We're regular visitors to this pub and it never disappoints

Lovely meal for our christmas work get together. Great food, really enjoyed our time at The Bower Inn. Thank you!

First time trying hubbox and will not be returning! Took my partner for his birthday and had the worst experience. my chips came out 10 mins before the mains and any of my partners food, my partners chicken was hard and inedible. We order the slaw as a side which was just raw veg with no sauce! No checkback to our table so we could raise this issue. After dinner we ordered some more drinks, my partner asked for an iced coffee without vanilla syrup as advertised which they was happy to do due to my partner being diabetic but this came with vanilla syrup - server admitted to putting syrup in due to it being ‘a long night’ no real apology given. They were getting ready to close for the night and we noticed staff collecting sauces from all the tables and topping these up with old sauce bottles and new sauce bottles - no dates of when each was opened, the sauce on our table was separated and fizzed when opened, when I mentioned this I was told they get thrown out every week, this is not the case as you could see our sauce bottle was very old! Complained, they just wanted to comp us the coffee and chips which I thought was not good enough. Almost £100 for a terrible meal, will not be returning to hubbox in Exeter.

We are regulars - well once a year when we come to St Mary’s! - and never miss out on a lunch here. What amazing views! The 6 of us had a selection of delicious foods - sandwiches, pate quiche and scampi. The side dishes of excellent crispy chips were quite large and next time we’ll share . The staff were lovely too - and weren’t phased by an unexpected and very heavy downpour leading to us all grabbing our plates and dashing inside!

Supports the local hunt. Supports fox hunters. Supports wildlife criminals.

Not been to Papa's for a while before visiting lunch time today. Not too busy for a Thursday. The food is still excellent, served piping hot and in good time. We had the 'Seniors Special' which was a good sized piece of cod, plenty of chips and also included a buttered roll and hot drink. The prices are keen and the service is friendly and good. Recommended.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Fish meals are always superb, and the gluten free crumble and custard is delicious.

Standard cafe cuisine but beautifully prepared and at a good price point. And the views …. Talk about location location location! We have visited many times over the years and are never disappointed.

Service was horrendous, waitress not interested, no dialogue, overpriced, maianaise served in a refilled dirty Heinze bottle, definitely not filled with Heinze, £39 two meals and two drinks, overpriced, when we paid no conversation at all, definitely won't be going back, use to be very good a few years ago, must be new owners, avoid

My go to cafe for months now. Simple cafe in a really quiet location. Charming and relaxing. Not often it is busy so it’s a nice place to sit and chill. Food and coffees are great, pretty much everything a cafe needs to be is done well.
