The best restaurants in South West

We were looking for somewhere for a quick bite to eat and the window display caught our eye. Well laid out and inviting. There is a list covering the different cakes for each dietary condition. You can take away or eat in upstairs. We are upstairs and had a slice of black forest gateaux. This was delicious and full of cream. My husband had a cheese sandwich which came with coleslaw, salad and crisps. Both were well worth the money and we will visit again .thank you

Looking forward to a chip supper I ordered a steak and kidney pie and chips, not difficult one would have thought. However, the pie was just zapped in the microwave and turned out to be completely inedible as the pastry was like tired old leather. And the staple of a Chippy, the chips. Well they were stone cold , flacid excuses for chips. Pretty much all the meal ended up in the bin.

In Ilchester for a car service and dropped into the Ilchester Arms for breakfast. They weren't cooking at the time but they made a Bacon sandwich for me anyway ❤️ Really very good of them, friendly service that you remember. Thanks !!

Wonderful home cooked food in a cute cafe opposite the Abbey. Great choice of specials and though I loved my cottage Pie I had food envy for my husband's chicken pie. Proper suet pastry and accompanied by 5 different types of veg plus roast potatoes. Gravy was replenished with a smile and no extra cost. Service was lovely. Fantastic choice of home made cakes and puddings which we fully intended to come back for but to be honest even after a visit up to the Tor we were still full! Thoroughly recommend.

Nice cafe but why do the owners not update the website to make all of us loyal customers aware that they’re taking a well-earned break? Really frustrating to travel to Fowey after checking online and seeing “open until 4.00pm”. This is 2025 not 1925…..use the website for what it’s intended for or be like many other (crap) hospitality businesses that don’t even bother with an online presence?

Sad to say that Pinky Murphy’s is no more….it was a super quirky cafe come coffee shop come artistic venue. Guessing Covid, Brexit and rent all had something to do with its demise.

Great place to stay, Carl cooked a lovely full English breakfast. Bar staff the night before were very friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere in the bar.

Excellent service and amazing food. Really enjoyed the whole warm and friendly experience. Recommended for all - we will be back !

Lovely bit of day time drinking in a night club atmosphere! Themed decoration for Halloween with a chilled outdoor, but undercover space. Lovely waitress provided attentive table service .

We visited this chip shop today around lunchtime and were met with a very rude member of staff. Due to the circumstances, we couldn’t get any food, which we completely understand. However, the way we were treated was unacceptable—the staff member shut the door in our face and showed no sincerity or apology for the situation. Even if we could get food in the future, we certainly won’t be returning. I’d strongly suggest providing customer service training to your staff, as there was no need for such rudeness.

Lovely and varied vegetarian Chinese food, lovely friendly service and atmosphere too. Four of us ate here and all our dishes were delicious and utterly fresh, but also very different from each other which was a bonus. Especially recommend the noodles!

Exceptional, friendly service on a Saturday night and the most amazingly comfortable bed and hot shower, with a lovely view of the tranquil countryside across my private terrace :)

We had a lovely evening cocktails and tapas on Saturday night, thoroughly enjoyed it. Fabulous vibes service and people. We enjoyed it so much 2 years ago we'd booked for today as well. Id originally booked for 2.30. Last night I changed the booking to 5pm. Got there to find the place completely closed!! Tried calling no joy! No communication to cancel my booking! I'm so disappointed, along with totally angry. Shame on you for not contacting me to inform me, that there was a problem and you had to shut, your website says you're open til 20.00hrs. Totally spoilt my weekend!

We booked a table for three at the Westbrook for Sunday Lunch last week. Two of us chose the Roast Beef, my father-in-law decided on the Cornish Sole, we all agreed that all of our dishes were cooked to perfection. The dessert menu was to die for and we will definitely return & wholeheartedly recommend the Westbrook. All of the staff were attentive, and the service was excellent, this was matched by the decor and ambience of this superb venue.

Tawnys always delivers. Great and delicious food. Very lovely waitress. Always a lovely warm welcome. Highly recommend and we always return
