The best restaurants in South West

From the moment we walked through the front door we were made to feel welcome. The dining room is warm and cozy, the decor eclectic. With a choice of two menus, the bar or specials there was plenty of choice. The bar menu giving you the option to reduce your per head spend. We all opted for dishes from the specials menu!! We are a family that loves our food. Every dish was beautifully presented, well proportioned and delicious. I can whole heartedly recommend the goats cheese and pesto beignets to start and if you have a big appetite the ribeye surf and turf. There was a great choice of gluten free or gluten free adaptable options and with no gluten contamination in the fryers we could all share the fries. We only managed one dessert between six of us and were delighted with the lemon sorbet presented inside a frozen lemon. The staff were all knowledgeable and willing to help with menu suggestions, and adjustments to suit dietary requirements. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are not in the area it is worth going out of your way to enjoy dinner.

We had our extended family Christmas meal here and it was really fabulous. The food was delicious and the staff warm and friendly. Great experience.

Unusual(but great)menu with fresh local food and bread made on site, very friendly staff. Great coffee and refreshing orange juice toilets available but only one.

Had a wonderful time at Etci, as always since this was my 4th time visiting.The food was 10/10 it tasted as good as it looked and service was speedy and welcoming with very friendly staff. greatly appreciate our waiter named Feti who gave us an exceptional experience as he took good care of us and made sure we were satisfied with everything. On top of that we were offered tea and turkish delight on the house after our meal. Inside had a really nice atmosphere and beautiful interior so i would Highly recommend!!

We had a lovely time - great pizzas, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I had the special which was mushrooms with egg yolk - absolutely delicious. We sat in the outside covered area which was warm enough with the heaters and only added to the atmosphere with the wind blowing outside.

What an absolute find. So pleased we didn’t stop along the main high street of Tewkesbury and instead headed towards the Abbey. The tea rooms are unique, and definitely worth the visit. Forget Costas/and all the run of the mill venues and support local. Our lunch was tasty, and our surroundings beautiful.

The cafe was busy when we arrived for a late lunch. There was a very warm welcome, efficient staff took our order quickly and then double checked they had it right. Food arrived quickly and freshly cooked, piping hot and delicious. An excellent cafe highly recommended.

The Hive is absolutely adorable. Best cafe I've ever been to. We visited for lunch as part of our holiday in The Cotswolds. From start to finish it went beyond our expectations. We were warmly welcomed in by the owner. What a lovely lady!! We had the homemade soup of pea, courgette and lettuce with a homebaked cheese scone. Absolutely delicious!!! Seems strange to have soup in August but it was just what we needed. The cheese scone was divine!! Had a really lovely latte and my husband had tea. The decor was really welcoming and comforting too. All the staff were very attentive and helpful and it was very evident how well it was being managed by the owner. Definitely a must if you want some lunch in Stow on The Wold.

Best cafe in Newquay! Vegan pasty was amazing, so good to have GF and vegan options as standard, great friendly staff, and dog friendly too, the best place to eat when in Newquay!

Once I walked in, I thought the place looked so cute. I love the atmosphere. The service was amazing. Our waiter was super patient and answered all of our questions. Everyhing was beautiful and tasty. My whole table loves their food. We were all thoroughly impressed. Will definitely be back!

Lovely food with really nice and friendly staff. Lovely relaxed experience. Fun atmosphere in a quirkily designed and decorated room.

Excellent food and very friendly service. My lady had the Cornish mackerel which was delicious but the salads which accompanied the fish were wonderful-such a variety and all adding to the splendid lunch. I had the ham and grainy mustard sandwiches-lovely slices of good ham and a good helping of mustard as well. I also had the salad selections. Overall two excellent lunches.

Our first visit to Restaurant Roots. We were blown away with the combination of flavours, the wonderful food, the presentation of the dishes and the whole tasting menu experience. A warm welcome was followed by attentive service, wonderful wine suggestions & totally sublime food. Our lunch was excellent value and a return visit has already been booked.

We have eaten here many times, but have just very sadly read, that Taste has closed permanently at the end of April. We wish you all the best with whatever path you take in the future x

Spending 4 nights in the area with my husband and son. We booked dinner t the New Inn for our 1st evening. It was so good we came on our last night too! Justin and Julia were extremely welcoming and it was difficult to choose from the varied menu. Absolutely delicious, fresh home cooked food and large portions. Starters, mains and desserts all amazing. Booking advised.
