The best restaurants in South West

17 of us came to this rustic location and the food and staff were amazing … 5 stars all round 👍👍 #ptfc (the zip wire was great fun also)

Very small premises but wonderful cakes/ lunches - can get full (of people and cake) but well worth a visit when you're in town

Collected a pizza to take home, superb value and quality, the food is always top class. Wellington is so fortunate to have an Italian of this quality

Rated the best place to eat in Swindon and the second best place in the whole of Wiltshire. That’s some serious hype to live up to especially when there’s three Michelin star restaurants to compete with. And does it? Yes, it does! The food was absolutely incredible, of the highest quality, and we experienced flavours we have never experienced before which made it truly special. We ordered 4 dishes and asked Michael to choose another 2 for us. You may notice a lot of reviews mention Michael by name. That’s testament to how personal the dining experience is. Every single dish was brought over to us by Michael himself and was explained in detail before we enjoyed it. This level of service is extremely rare and aside from the exquisite food itself was a highlight of the dining experience. Aside from Michael and his food talked about above, the general atmosphere was also fantastic. There’s a lovely cosy feel to the place. You’re made to feel as if you’re the only people there, and yet there’s a great buzz from all the other tables who are also having the same experience. That’s a very hard dynamic to pull off! Price wise, we spent a fair amount and for us personally it will become a special occasion place to visit. However, I really believe that for the quality of the food and dining experience it was worth significantly more than we paid, especially when you consider it’s rightfully rated higher than some Michelin star restaurants that would have cost 3 times as much. So really it’s a bargain for what you’re getting! A special shout out must also go to Natalie who was both friendly and fantastic. She gave us a lovely welcome when we arrived, took our coats and once sat at our table gave us the rundown of the restaurant as we had never been before. I’m sure anyone reading this will have experienced that annoying part of most dining experiences where you want something like another drink or the bill at the end and spend the next 10 minutes trying to awkwardly catch the eye of your server. Not with Natalie on hand! We’ve concluded she must be able to read minds as the second we thought we might like something she was there as if by magic. Fair play! I’ll be amazed if before long this place isn’t in the Michelin star guide, or even gets a star. Stop reading reviews and experience it for yourself!

Stunning views with your food, what more can you want. Must go when in North Devon. Good for families as well.

Friendly, helpful staff. Helped us select a beach to swim. Chatted about island life. Cakes all lovely. Milkshakes nice too. A+

Gluten free fish and chips available whenever they are open. They completely understood my needs as a Coeliac and I felt safe eating there. I had small cod and chips to take away. The batter was so light and crispy and the home made tartare sauce is yummy. Highly recommend.

I’ve been here several times and never been disappointed. The food is simple but well presented, fresh and delicious. I am coeliac and my wife is vegan and we never feel short changed with the quality and selection. Also serves great coffee. Staff are friendly and professional.

Très bonne adresse pour un déjeuner ! Très bon rapport qualité prix, personnel très serviable. Je recommande

Very friendly service, delicious food (I had the smashed avo on toast with bacon) and really good coffee. Plus it’s a great location for a walk even if you’re not feeling like going full-on Bear Grylls. Absolutely spot on!

A sandwich bar with some seating inside. A varied menu not just sandwiches. we did have sandwiches which were very nice. the prices were reasonable and the staff very pleasant.

Wow this place is amazing , so bright fresh & clean & amazing for taking food pictures. Excellent customer service very friendly staff. I had the waffles which were even better than any waffles I had in Belgium & the strawberry milkshake , all beautifully presented. I was visiting family so will now have to wait for my next visit & we have already planned a return visit for the afternoon tea.

We were on a day trip to sample the Bristol beer scene, the Drapers Arms came very highly rated by our local micro pub owner. From the moment you entered this place felt special and it certainly was friendly greeting, excellent choice of real ales and all clientele were very sociable. The entire place had a friendly buzz about it. We arrived just after opening 1615hrs and sadly had to leave at 1800hrs but managed a couple of pints each. Could have probably managed another but too much chat with other friendly customers :-) !! We hope to return.

Heartfelt Review of Karen’s Cafe, Paignton Visiting Karen’s Cafe in Paignton was an unforgettable experience. Karen, the owner, provided service that was second to none, making us feel like family from the moment we arrived. The cosy atmosphere felt like a home away from home, especially for us as two single females of ethnic background. Karen’s genuine warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at ease. It’s bittersweet to know she’ll be closing soon to start a new chapter in her life, but she truly deserves the best. If you can, visit before she closes – highly recommended! Thank you, Karen, and all the best in your new adventures!
