The best restaurants serving British food in South West

How can a free house owned by the landlord not make any money this used to be a good pub with a decent beer garden sounds like the owner is not as good as he thinks won’t be going there anymore

The chicken massaman was extremely salty, so neither of us enjoyed it and wouldn't order again. The king prawn panang and prawn toast was nice.

Love coming here for the footy! Great service, beer prices and friendly locals

We visited The Cosy Teapot by chance walking along the front at Budleigh Salterton we came across this little Gem. We were greeted by a really lovely lady that had only just started that very day. What a lovely lady she was she made us extremely welcome, we sat down and some locals were sat at the next table, they started talking to us they seemed very interested to find out where we were staying and where we had come from. Not often do you find people wanting to talk but they were happy to chat and give us advice on where to visit along the coast. The menu at the Cosy Teapot was just to our taste proper home cooked food. We had toasted sandwiches which came with a delicious side salad. Tea was served in a proper teapot enough for at least 3 cups each and proper bone china cup and saucer. The owner Betty a genuinely nice person making sure that we were happy with our lunch, even took the time to join in with our chat with the locals. You won’t be disappointed if you visit The Cosy Teapot truly a very special place. Looking forward to another visit. Clive and Elaine

Awful was served a dish of slop which was named as Moussaka on the menu.Manager not bothered when I mentioned this .Apparently this was a best seller and this is how it is served.Never Again is all I can say

Great value lunch. I had sausage and mash, partner had crispy chilli beef. Really nice location and views, friendly staff

We visited this weekend for a last minute roast dinner. We sat outside in the courtyard which was lovely and ordered two pork roast dinners. Once they arrived we were extremely disappointed as. Hardly any vegetables, not very hot almost cold and hardly any meat. There was also no check backs. I understand Roasts are expensive nowadays but for how much they were charging this was awful. I have tried to find a contact email address to write but can’t find one.

Great "Open-Mic Night" every Monday, with a good bunch of musicians to provide an evening of entertainment...Will be back! Colin

Avoid at all costs. Received £100 parking fine for stopping here for 30mins. Signs are not lit up in the dark, not made aware of requirements for permit. Absolutely disgusting management

The food was mediocre, nothing to write home about. But what really put me off, was the way the cook was speaking to the lady taking orders. He was so rude to her when she was only doing her job. And she does it so well, I felt embarrassed for her. She's always efficient, smiley and happy to help. Usually the food is to a better standard, but the cook clearly had something going on tonight.

Met up with friends on Saturday lunchtime, busy, very helpful Kate found us a dog friendly table even though we hadn’t booked. We had baguettes/wraps etc, all delicious, freshly prepared & very tasty. Big shout out to Henry who was unfailingly polite & professional, a real credit to the Seven Stars. Loved the ambience, would definitely recommend & return, many thanks.

Went for candle making for my friend’s birthday, felt like I had gatecrashed someone’s party! Beautiful room but no where to sit, did the candle making which took 5 minutes and then stood around. Had two drinks, candle costs £35 to make with the vessel. Clearly there was a large party that’s had booked the full venue, Botox sessions, iv drips and lip fillers were offered?! Everything was cleared away and our candles still weren’t dry. I thought there was a bar but no, we paid, literally left as it was being packed up and had to find something to do for a hour before picking up our candles whilst guest stayed and drank wine! Would not recommend, made to feel very uncomfortable.

Very disappointed with this place. No atmosphere. Very bland interior. Trying to be upmarket which isn’t working. The prices are way too dear. The waitress was very friendly which made up for the other faults.

Good old quality pub, recently taken over aswell

visited here as a family of 5, lovely warm and friendly welcome, great portion sizes for the price and every plate was empty which says it all, if in the area you won’t be disappointed 👍
