The best restaurants in South West

Our visit was on the 8th of November 2024. Just the two of us. Booked online a couple weeks in advance and received email confirmation of the booking. Staff are very attentive and thorough - they are obviously well drilled and experienced. Efficient and polite, could perhaps be a little more friendly, there was a younger waitress that was very friendly and smiling. Extensive menu. We went for the set menu B for two people with added soft noodles. All the food, from starters, to duck course, the the mains and sides were very good and served quickly, but never rushed. Plenty of food for two people. Very well priced. Around £70 for two of us with drinks, starters, crispy duck, 3 main dishes and 3 sides of fried rice, vegetables and noodles. Would happily go again. The takeaway menu is the same menu, but 20% cheaper.

Wow!!!! Unfortunately we hadn’t booked, but they very kindly found a space to fit the three of us in!!! The service was fantastic, but the food, amazing!!! Great selection from fresh fish to pizza’s, they cater for everyone….. I have to say, please try the chicken pie, absolutely stunning!!! Everything fresh, couldn’t fault anything, the cakes and gateau’s as you walk in, starts you off with the thought of,” let’s get the main course out of the way, I want all of those!!”, my family went with the pizzas and there was nothing left, clean plates!! Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, nothings too much trouble, and the food is excellent!! Really look forward to trying other things on the menu…….

Great food, great service, live bands, they have sky sports and BT sport. Came here to watch the football on Saturday and it was a great atmosphere, we ended up staying for the disco as well, well worth a visit, extremely great team they have

Fantastic meal and drinks at the Brewhouse yesterday. Great vegan options,different from the norm m. Good size portions and So delicious. JoJo was our waitress and she was extremely friendly and attentive and recommended some great beers. Can’t wait to go again!

This is my favourite cafe in Bristol. It’s a space that as a queer person immediately feels safe and homely. I’ve eaten here a few times and the food is always immaculate, the chai lattes are good and it’s a coop so it feels good to pay because you know you’re paying the working people not some guy on a yacht. Mainly leaving this review because I was showing my friend where we’re going today and I saw someone had left a 1star. Not cool bro. If you want someone to wait on you like you’re royalty to into a chain and have an overworked underpaid young person serve you.

We have visited Alf's for many years with the various anniversary mugs to prove it. Over the last few visits, since the change of ownership, the energy, service and quality has taken a dip. As such, sadly, Alf’s is no longer our “go-to” place the moment we arrive in Dartmouth.

Came in the summer and had a steak on a stone, suberb, Decided to give the roast a try. It was cracking roast at a great price, so many places rip you off. 3 meats, 2 sorts of potatos, 6 different veg. staff were fantastic. Pleany of parking Will be back.

Amazing staff. Food is great for the value. We go every week and always look forward to it. Between 4-8 of us and caters for all needs. Check it out

Exceptional Sunday roast, thank you. We were made very welcome by the friendly staff who accommodated us and our dog despite having not booked and during peak service. The house wine was excellent and the local real ale perfect. Thanks again, highly recommended

Went in 2023, thought it was great. This time not so great. Beer garden was a site for sore eyes not nice area at all. The toilets were covered in cobwebs and spiders and certainly needs updating and painting. All had steaks, chips mushrooms and onion rings lukewarm. Ordered a doggy meal, this was forgotten. Asked to see a dessert menu, had to wait, but the young waiter never came back with it even though I saw it placed back in its place. Another waitress then asked us " do u want anything else or is that it" charming lol. Did get the dessert menu this time but decided against putting anymore money in their pockets with an attitude like that. No air circulating at all when everyone is cooking their steaks, couldn't open a window, so very smokey and stuffy and the air just smelt of smoke so not that pleasant for us.

We use this amazing place at least 5 times a year when we are visiting. The food is fantastic the service is fantastic and if you sit upstairs the views are fantastic. Never had a bad visit over the 10 years x

Great pub, very good food, a nice atmosphere and great service. Would definitely recommend!

Best place I have been comfortable and friendly hope it re-opens soon

Gorgeous greek restaurant -a little taste of Greece! Delicious Meze, thank you Chef! generous portions and brilliantly run by the lovely Despina and her team. We were celebrating our birthdays and were really looked after. Will definitely return for a Saturday night for the greek dancing and plate smashing! Yassou!

On our last day we decided to pack our camping gear and walk down to st Ives for a nice fish and chips treat. Our usual restaurant had a big queue so we decided to give this place a go as it had such good reviews, big mistake. This restaurant has no queues for a reason. The fish was slimy and tasteless and the batter was soggy. The chips were not ‘proper’ fish and chip shop chips, they were frozen. The only good part was the peas. Total waste of £50 plus for 2 lots of fish, chips and peas, a child’s portion of goujons and 2 cokes. We will not return and can’t recommmend. Go to the restaurant at the opposite end of the beachfront strip!!
