The best restaurants in South West

Great service, very helpful staff. Pasties taste great, we have picked up 10 more this morning to take home with us....thanks Audrey.

Continues to get better, another takeaway order, another amazing meal, the sesame chicken in sticky sauce is incredible, the Singapore noodles are a consistent order favourite. Arrived hot, fresh and fast, with usual vibrant flavours. Highly recommend this place 👌

Went for lunch with my 2 sisters. Had the larger tasting menu paired with the wine flight. Every course tasted heavenly and pairing was great. Philip the sommelier was at the top of his game 🤓, each pairing was explained in detail and so were the courses. I will definitely go back with a lot more friends. Oh, the sourdough bread & butter made in house was to die for 😋😋😋😋

Great food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend.

Having a few days off of work we decided to treat ourselves to a nice breakfast. Potters did not disappoint, lovely warm welcome, from the ladies serving. We chose to sit upstairs as downstairs was bustling and busy, a good sign of a popular place. The upstairs room is lovely, it would make an ideal venue for a private function or family gathering. Our drinks and breakfast orders were taken swiftly, we chose the half English breakfast and the vegetarian Breakfast. Both were absolutely delicious, cooked extremely well and very generous size portions. The sautéed potatoes, mushrooms and eggs on the vegetarian breakfast were fabulous as was the black pudding from my partners half English which I pinched!

Dear [Restaurant Management], I have been a loyal patron of the Horn of Plenty for the past 20 years, making it a tradition to dine at your establishment during my annual October visit to Cornwall. I have always cherished my experiences, which have consistently been a highlight of my trips. However, my recent visit in 2024 left me disappointed and saddened. Firstly, the new decor, with its dull and somber wall colors, lacks the warmth and elegance that I used to associate with the restaurant. The ambiance now feels flat and uninviting, which is a stark contrast to the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere I’ve enjoyed in the past. Secondly, the quality of service has noticeably declined. Staff seemed inattentive, and the overall service felt lackluster compared to previous years. I’ve come to expect a high level of hospitality, and unfortunately, that standard was not met. Regarding the menu, I was surprised by the limited options available. As a long-time guest, I have always appreciated the variety and creativity of your offerings. This year, however, I found myself having to order two chicken-based dishes for both my starter and main, as the fish option was underwhelming and did not meet the quality I’ve come to expect. The flavors were not as memorable, and it felt as though the culinary experience had taken a step back. Furthermore, the prices do not seem justified given the reduced quality and variety. It is disheartening to say that I will not be returning, as the Horn of Plenty no longer feels like the special place it once was. I hope you take this feedback constructively, as it comes from someone who has truly valued your establishment over the years. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments, and I hope the Horn of Plenty can once again reclaim its status as a cherished gem. Warm regards, Norma Tako

Me and the Mr popped in for a post sea-swim breakfast and ssooo glad we did. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Food was good quality, very tasty, and well presented. My tea came in a non-leaky pot, and was hot and fresh. Bacon was crispy, eggs were a rich yellow colour, and well seasoned. Carrot cake was moist and the frosting was lush! Will definitely be back. Thanks, you've pitched it just right! 👌🏼😍😋

We had a fabulous lunch here on spec. The restaurant was pretty full (no problem having our small dog with us). The maitre d’hotel was fantastic, very entertaining. The sharing burrata starter was to die for and the pizzas were very good. If only we lived near we would dine there often.

Sunday roast was great, service quick too! Recommend this place if you love a roast & great tasting meat!

Fabulous food and service as always

What’s not to love about this wonderful cafe overlooking Widemouth beach. It’s so good we visited for a yummy breakfast (especially the breakfast stack) every day of our trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the service efficient and food quality high, with generous portion sizes and reasonable prices it’s a must visit. It’s also dog friendly. With seating inside and out and plenty of paid for parking on site.

This is a genuine hidden gem! Not many tourist people use to walk throughout this side of the river, so it's not a crowded place to have a drink. Inside is a classic pub, outside (in summertime) you could have a seat on the benches beside the street.

Put aside the minor-celebrity connections and take this place for what it is - a perfect blend of tiny inn, gastropub and locals hangout. Our stay was for two nights giving us the chance to take in the countryside and visit the cathedral at Salisbury. We were lucky with the weather which gave us the opportunity to enjoy the pub garden while the locals chatted at the bar. The food was tremendous (I recommend the cod or the duck). We had breakfast on both days in the oak room which is a great place to start your day. A special mention should go to the room’s shower (we stayed in the Wardour Room) which was astounding.

Met up for a girls lunch…. A lovely warm welcome and attentive service. We all chose to share a plate of whitebait with tartare sauce- a very generous serving - crumbed and crunchy- delicious. We all had sea bass with wilted spinach, sautéed potatoes and tomatoes- beautifully cooked and very tasty. No room for pudding unfortunately!

Couldn’t fault this place, very friendly service. Lovely place to catch up with friends and even the dogs too(they even have a dog menu!).
