The best restaurants in South West

So our first night in the area and looking forward to some local food. Sadly the meal we had was very poor. The fish special had run out by 7.30 despite there hardly being anyone in. We ate off the wrongly named " Al a carte" menu...should say basic pub grip. A tasteless brie (hardly any brie in it) and mushroom burger turned up with two onion rings and some not very nice chips. When we complained we were offered a fish replacement, which came with nothing else and had been quickly cooked ...not very well. Thankfully the weekend improved with visits to The Millbrook and The Cricket.

I genuinely cannot fault it. The packaging is amazing food is still piping. Even chucked some free onion bajis after hearing about how a fellow kebab house robbed me £35 same night. Would deffo recommend , the guy on the phone was so polite and genuinely turned our shit night into a great one! Thank you GURU J !!!

All I can say is that this place is a hidden gem! Ordered an achari gohst (meat in pickled spices) and 4 chapattis. The lad behind the counter was very polite and hospitable, even though we came a few minutes before closing! The curry was not dripping with oil, which was fantastic. It was packed full of flavour. The quality of the meat itself was excellent, and it was very succulent, as it was cooked to perfection, and unlike some restaurants, there were more than enough pieces of it. The chapattis were enormous. Pricewise, I'd say it's reasonable, considering the prices of utilities and meat. Grand total of £19.30. It's hard to find a good curry house nowadays. it's all kebabs and burgers! I will definitely be eating from there again as it's good to support your local curry house, especially when the food is spot on!!

Amazing fish and chips, lovely friendly staff, 10/10

Fabulous vegetarian restaurant. Even my hubby who eats meat was a bit reticent about coming here… however he loved the food and revisited with me. Lovely menu, food is delicious and service is good .

Great beer and a snack on a Sunday lunchtime

What a lovely vegan restaurant. A warm welcome and delicious tapas....no room for the fab looking cakes though! Will be back!

If you are looking for a change from the usual humdrum Prem Inn Travelodge that seem to be taking over most town centres then this exquisette steeped in history creaky floored no room the same Hotel is for you. Refurbished to an excellent standard whilst retaining the period features. Staff were very friendly and helpful from the 2 receptionists we met to the lady running the restaurant to the bar person to the excellent chef we really couldn't fault it. Our evening meal in the restaurant was delicious and breakfast the next morning cooked to order much nicer than buffet style hot foods from above mentioned hotels. Thank you to all the staff we met who couldn't do enough for us and really topped off an excellent stay.

The spring rolls are very good here, nice and crispy! Good Thai food and service is friendly, a bit of a wait for the food but in general great place.

I miss this place, I wonder why it closed and if it will ever open again 💔

This place has always been my go-to local fish and chips shop! Great portions and great value! Highly recommend 👌🏻

I found a huge dead fly in my pasta dish. I politely took it back and they said they’d make me a new one, however I didn’t eat much of it as I was put off. They then kept it on the bill so I politely asked if it could be removed and the server went to get his manager. The manager came back and said “on this occasion I will remove it as you were a nice table” - implying if I’d been rude about it, not a good table or it happens again, they won’t remove it off the bill. He did not apologise to me at all, instead made out like he was doing me a favour and walked away. I won’t be eating here again.

Brilliant fish and chips shop, consistently delicious, lovely friendly staff, great chilled atmosphere. Always our go to 😊

Ate here on a Sunday lunchtime- 3 adults and 2 young children. Whole experience was excellent. We didn’t have a booking and phoned up with about 20 minutes notice. They fitted us in no problem with a space that was very well suited for us. All the staff were lovely, and it was clear all the customers were enjoying themselves too. Food was great - huge roast servings with fantastic Yorkshire puddings (our 3 year old is a Yorkshire pudding fanatic and he rated them highly). Would definitely recommend.

Went for lunch today during Burger and Pie Week. We had a venison burger and a turkey burger, both were delicious. Great service from the young bartender. We heard her telling other guests she was only 16 but she was so confident and welcoming, even gave us a little taste of the cider before we ordered. Only room for improvement is that it was a little chilly, maybe light that lovely fire on a grey October day.
