The best restaurants in South West

I visit here extremely regularly since the week it opened. Since then, I have often visited with family members and friends who have all said how much they've enjoyed it.The friendly welcome that I always receive from Imon, Burhan, and Zia is great. The food is fresh, hot, and tasty. I am slowly working my way through the menu. Staff are always happy to advise and recommend. They can adapt any dish to your taste, and nothing is too much trouble for them. Thank you, Indian Cottage. It ia always a pleasure.

Having been Vicar of Sherborne from 1993 to 2020, I have seen the R&C go up, and down, and up and down again - but now it is very seriously on the up! Although about 15 miles from where we now live, we have begun to take old friends who live closer to lunch or supper there. They have been amazed. Now it’s their turn to take us! 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 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

Great meals, more than enough to choose from. The servings were more than enough. Everything looked nice and fresh, very tasty.

Me and my husband went to the Red Lion for the first time for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. The staff were all so lovely and welcoming. The food was really tasty. Would recommend.

Excellent service, very friendly staff, delicious food and fantastic coffee, had a wide range of pastries, desserts, hot and cold drinks.

Grew up in Ilfracombe and was always our favourite chip shop. Came back for a visit so decided to pop in and get some dinner. Arrived just before closing and ordered fish and chips. They gave us lots of free food as they had plenty left over. Tasted great! Lovely staff and will definitely come back again next time we come.

Lovely pub with great food (delicious Sunday roast, including the veggie option), excellent beers and helpful service.
