The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Well, it was our final visit to the Lakeside Cabin last week. What a wonderful hidden gem this cafe is, and it is going to be very much missed by so many, now that it has closed its doors. The food exquisite, so tastefully presented, especially all those gorgeous cakes, mouth watering! The location and setting, along with the amazing family who ran it made it a very happy place to be. Thank you ‘A’ team, for making our trips an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. So sad that you have gone, but we wish you all the best in your new venture. We will DEFINITELY come and find you at Pydar Mews in Truro.

What a lovely place to have a cuppa tea and a bite to eat. The food was amazing. We had sandwiches and the thai pea and spinach soup which was delicious. Jackie and Alan have created a warm welcoming tearoom with some thoughtful and inspiring words of wisdom displayed on the walls. I certainly recommend this place to anybody who visits Stow on the Wold but be sure to book in advance.

we had amazing food served with friendly, professional service. Despite being fully booked the attention to detail was wonderful. Well done to Ceri and Matt for running Restaurant Four so well!

Outstanding independent coffee/doughnut/hog roast takeaway. Welcoming people (thanks Joey & Bailey!) who were friendly and happy to chat. Coffee was delicious (freshly brewed filter), and the hog roast roll was the best I’ve had - complete with crackling. Don’t get me started on the doughnuts.

I have gluten and dairy intolerances and they were so accommodating and I could have a Christmas sandwich and a milkshake. I didn’t feel left out. Thank you so much tea on the green

Popped in for a drink on a boxing day walk. A lovely pub with friendly staff; and most excitingly the wonderful Nightjar Stout from Wye Valley Brewery. Lovely!

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.

Staff really friendly. Food was quite tasty but not value for money. Found this little cafe is expensive for what you get. Was hoping for decent artisan bread with some presentation effort, but sadly not. Can't work out whether it's a blue beach vibe or a vintage cafe due to the crockery used. Would I go again, not at those prices. However if you're in Newquay give it a look if you like cakes...they looked great.

This is a gem of a find. We were staying in our caravan and had Sunday lunch here. The owners have created a quirky ambience. The food itself was outstanding, large meat portions, huge Yorkshire puds and amazing roast potatoes. All home cooked. Vegetables were perfectly cooked and a good selection. We could not manage a pud but the ones we saw looked amazing. Meal with 2 drinks each (2 wines and 2 soft drinks) £50.

Wonderful tapas on a Friday night. Great choice, good service and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Tapas were well presented and tasty. Fab!

Went to Weavers Cottage today with my family to have a late celebration for my birthday. I had a high tea which was lovely and my family had other various items off the menu. All the food was lovely and beautifully served. The gentleman who was serving was very helpful and efficient and it was service with a smile. We are local to Torquay but it was our first time visiting Weavers cottage but it won’t be our last. Lovely outdoor setting that is covered with heaters and we even had a visit from a little robin on the back of one of our chairs. Lovely little lunch stop.

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

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Plenty of choices to choose from menus. Justin and Julia are just brilliant hosts. We will visit again soon

We enjoyed a lovely evening with friends last night. It was busy so luckily we had booked a table beforehand which I would recommend. The staff were attentive and we were well looked after. Everyone’s meals were simply excellent. It’s rare to have a table of 4 people all eating different meals and all commenting on how good their meals were. Highly recommended The Pyne Arms and please keep in doing what you are doing so well.

Went to our favourite place for breakfast twice over a long weekend - brilliant both times! This is a wonderful place - lovely, charming service and the food is cracking! We only ever feel we have had a lovely time in Cornwall if we have visited Ben’s - you owe it to yourselves!
