The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in South West

We’ve been here a few times, as I like the varied menu and the fish is great . This time again, I really enjoyed my fish, halibut , likewise husband, who had the stone bass and taramasalata to start . For desert we had apple crumble soufflé and the choux bun. I’ve only given 4 stars for a few little niggles. The pastry on the choux bun was quite hard . My halibut dish said it came with artichoke, which I love, but when it came , there were small crispy bits all over the fish , which could have been crispy artichoke, but hard to tell. I asked the waitress if that’s what it was , she didn’t know and didn’t bother finding out . Although the staff were friendly enough, for me there’s a few things missing that I’m used to in a decent restaurant- no checking if food is ok, no checking if we want another drink . I do appreciate not having a service charge on the bill though , as it’s nicer to tip what you think is appropriate

Recently had a celebratory meal here for 14 of us. Service was excellent and the food was amazing, we did do a pre-order which ensured everyone’s meal was bang on. Big shout out to the staff who made it such a good day.

Today's lunch at Brown & Forrest Smokery was nothing short of exceptional – a true five-star culinary experience in the heart of Langport. The quaint and inviting ambience of the smokery provided the perfect setting for a delightful catch-up with a friend. Choosing from the menu was a pleasure, knowing that whatever the selection, satisfaction was guaranteed. My choice, the Tuna Mayonnaise Bap, was a triumph of flavours. The bap was generously packed with succulent, flavorful tuna, beautifully complemented by a creamy mayonnaise that tied the whole experience together. Each bite was a testament to the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. My friend's Full English Bap was a sight to behold—laden with a hearty combination of sausage, egg, bacon, and mushrooms. It was more than a bap; it was a celebration of traditional English breakfast components, all brought together in a convenient and no less delicious form. The culinary journey didn't end with the mains. I couldn't resist purchasing some of their sugar-free biscuits, a sweet endnote to look forward to. The thought of relishing those biscuits later added an extra layer of joy to an already splendid visit. It’s not just the food that deserves applause but also the service. The staff at Brown & Forrest Smokery were as warm as the food was delectable, contributing to a relaxed and friendly dining atmosphere that's hard to come by. In conclusion, if you find yourself in the area and in need of a comforting and satisfying meal, make your way to Brown & Forrest Smokery. Whether it’s for the packed-full baps, the sweet treats, or just the welcoming vibe, this smokery is sure to provide an enjoyable, delicious experience. I’m eagerly looking forward to my next meal here and would heartily recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for fine, hearty fare.

Amazing pork baguettes, lovely service and staff are always so kind and friendly. would highly recommend this place. It is good value for money and always nothing is to much hassle for them always feel welcome.

Had a wonderful lunch at Nancarrow, the venue is lovely, the staff are very friendly and attentive and the food is amazing! We went with our children who are 10 and 8 and they enjoyed the food too. We were lucky with the weather, it was beautifully sunny so we sat outside to eat in a fantastic courtyard. Having seen Nancarrow on a Rick Stein cookery show on Cornwall we wanted to visit to experience the food and it didn’t disappoint.

Visitó con otras once personas, para un té crema para celebrar un cumpleaños. Había una amplia selección de sándwiches, bollos, pasteles y tés especiales. La comida era buena y los camareros eran muy serviciales.

We have visited his place over many years. It will be good to watch it return to its former glory.

I have a very very nice steak, well recommended.

Dined here on a reccomendation whilst visiting Cornwall to see friends. First thing to note was how busy it was. I was there around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. Very busy diner for a busy road with nothing much around and no surprise. They had a very extensive menu which isn't always a good thing. From T-Bone steak, lasagne, salads, paninis. sandwiches, breakfasts, roasts and deserts. Every plate of food I saw come out from the kitchen was HUGE. I went for the Hungryman Breakfast at a little over £10. It was substantial to say the least and served on a massive oval plate as evidenced by the two side by side slices of perfectly cooked and non greasy fried slices. The whole thing really should have come with an emergency phone number - 999, it was that big. Everthing on the plate was top draw in quality and taste. I particulary liked the Hogs Pudding (those 3 brown things in the pic). I didn't have a single gripe. My friend did however. He had the mixed grill, which although good on taste defeated him as all the meats were too tough to be acceptable in my opinion.. I'd rate his choice at a 2 out of 5 for that reason.

Calling this place a café is misleading, it's so much more. We should have booked but friendly staff found us a table. Great food and service and the place was buzzing! Really recommend!

1st visit to spitfire, I thought the food I had ( pulledpork) was the nicest I have ever tasted 😋 friendly staff and quick service... excellent

Didn't book a table, just fancied an early dinner. Probably the best meal we've had for a long time. Attentive, polite, prompt, service. The food was incredible. We had the set menu which was excellent value too. Definitely will visit again and highly recommend.

Love this place but food is inconsistent.

Lovely food and very good service. Nice friendly atmosphere 👌

We got the fruit de mer! Humongous platter of beautiful seafood. Enjoyed it so much. Absolutely perfect especially for the price. We’ll be back as often as we can!!!
