The best restaurants serving British food in South West

An absolute gem of a place. Both food and staff excellent. You can't beat the Sunday Roast and it's great that you can order a smaller portion if need be. Plenty of veg, gravy and fantastic roasties. They cater well for gluten free too.

Fabulous cosy pub serving amazing food, great quirky atmosphere and super friendly bar staff. Dog friendly. We ate there 3 times and the food was consistently great. We particularly enjoyed the valentines night menu. The scallops, monkfish and hake was some of the freshest and best cooked I’ve had

We were recommended this pub for dinner and we were not disappointed at all. I had the soup with home made bread and shepherds pie and my husband had the mushroom and Stilton for starters and the lamb burger. We were too full up for a desert. Traditional pub food. Big Jo (she called herself that) was so funny and attentive. Nice friendly little pub woukd definitely go back there.

Well we didn't even get as far as eating. A group of friends booked for a birthday meal , we were asked to order in advance , which is fine. Then we were told they had accepted another booking ( larger than ours which was in double digits) and could we change our date? Needless to say we cancelled . If our custom was not valued , we are going elsewhere. I appreciate January is a difficult month and you want as much custom as possible, but this appears as greed. You can't ask people having birthday meals to change date !

We were in the area and needed to kill a few hours so decided to stop here for brunch. So glad we did as the Lounge Eggs with Bacon were amazing, perfectly cooked poached eggs and bacon and the hollandaise was delicious. My husband also loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and said he could definitely tell it was freshly squeezed. We used the order at table facility and found it very simple to use. The food and drinks came promptly and the interaction from the server was good, friendly but not overbearing. We enjoyed our experience and will definitely try our local Lounge in the future.

We stayed at the Plough B&B with our 2 children and it was superb! Nick and Laura are such amazing hosts, the room was lovely and the breakfast was the best we have ever had. The pub is fabulous with great atmosphere, open fire and company we felt like we were with friends from the moment we got there. This is an amazing place we are so glad we found it and cannot wait to go back!!

Nice pub with a lovely view of the church. Good selection of drinks. Lovely seating area outside and plenty of sitting places inside too. Friendly bar staff.

What a fine dining experience in a cute little village pub. Friendly service. Varied & unusual menu with some rare names for some of the ingredients !!! Pretty fresh flowers on each table made it look inviting and lots of unusual pictures and ceilings painted. Not a cheap lunch but it was delicious more of a treat. Every table was full at lunch time so booking essential. Not many local pubs are full at lunch time - their reputation is excellent. Parking on the road outside.

Fantastic pub. So welcoming, all the staff are first class, smiles and personality all round. Super dog friendly. Fabulous food, awesome service in super comfortable surroundings. I went twice in a week for fun cosy suppers.

Quite a small Wetherspoons, but excellent service, staff are very friendly and helpful. Limited selection of beers and ales, but they have a beer festival in a couple if weeks, but we'll ve back home by then. Here for a couple of days enjoying the area and called in for dinner and breakfast and not disappointed.

We have visited Barleymow many times over the years when in the area but alas no more. The prices have increased too much, portion size down as is the quality, the coffee on on last visit was dreadful and expensive. What a shame.

As it stands the best pasty i've eaten in Cornwall, pastry was cooked to perfection, flavoured and seasoned just right and the taste gold star. bacon chorizo and chicken yum and steak and stilton highly recommended

I am sending this review in an email as it is so scathing, I couldn’t bring myself to post i as a public review via the link in the email sent to me following our “meal” with The Museum in Farnham on Sunday 2nd Feb 2025 @ 1400. Me and my partner visited you in the summer and had a very nice evening. We only live in Blandford so thought we’d come across for a roast. When we arrived it was quite busy and we were told there was a 20/30 minute wait on food - not a problem. Staff were nice but a little confused despite me booking and initial reaction for us was that we’d walked into fair bit of chaos. We were seated despite offering to have a drink at the bar and they eventually decided on a table to for us. The young girl serving us was lovely but very nervous and clearly stressed. We told her we were in no particular rush and to relax and we’d just enjoy a drink while they got things sorted. We ordered 2 x beef roast. We are both gluten intolerant (me extremely so these days) so we asked if the gravy was GF and IF there wasn’t any GF Yorkshire’s, just to leave them off the plate. This in itself seemed to cause a severe amount of confusion and instigated another 2 or 3 return trips to our table. After around 45 minutes we were told that the two cauliflower cheese sides we had ordered (we had actually only ordered one) had run out but they’d kindly take them off our bill - very bizarre. I won’t even go into the fact that a £7 cauliflower cheese should (in my opinion), be included in a £23 roast. We were told our food was being plated up…. This tuned out to be a lie. 30 minutes later (1hr 15 total from sitting down, and on my third pint) our food came out - annoyingly with Yorkshire puddings on. I just shook my head and chucked mine on a serviette. The food obviously made its way to the wrong table before eventually coming to ours. I was starting to lose my composure at this point and the pathetic portion size didn’t help. I had one slice of cremated beef and another of chewy beef. Underneath was a couple of overcooked potatoes and a tiny amount of veg. Neither of us had eaten so I just shook my head at how embarrassing this had become and ate some of mine. My partner put her knife and fork down and said it was cold - that was it then. It was so bad we were actually laughing. For context we have never sent a meal back ANYWHERE, and we’ve had a few poor meals. We called the young girl over and politely explained that would like the food taken off the bill, we wanted to settle the drinks and leave. We did ask if they could break the habit of a lifetime and do it quickly as we had to rush the 15 minute drive home to get to our local before the kitchen closed at 1600. We got to you at 1400. We paid for our drinks and left our last ones - I probably could have asked for them to be taken off the bill too didn’t imagine that would speed up proceedings. To be clear, the whole time be kept out cool and was as polite to this poor young girl. I did say to her “this has been a disaster hasn’t it?” She kept apologising, to which I pointed out that the blame lay solely at the door of her greedy employer who is charging top money, but employing cheap staff, and a chef who takes 1hr 15 to muster up two overpriced, overcooked, undersized, tepid roast dinners. So shame on whoever is running the established for putting her in that position. We flew back to Nelson’s, our local, and had a roast there. It’s was £10 less per head, piping hot, big potions and had trimmings included - not charged as extortionate extras. The following days I was extremely ill. I’m somewhat loathed to blame this on you guys, but I did say 2/3 times to not put a Yorkshire on my plate and we never got an answer about the gravy. All in all, an absolute horror-show from start to finish. Sadly from speaking to people since our visit, most were not surprised. Genuinely the most embarrassing dining experience I can’t think of. I’m 38. I look forward to any response you may have with regard to my feedback.

Very warm welcome and rooms were clean and comfortable however the radiator made some gurgling noises when first turned on but not too oppressive. The en-suite was clean and the water very hot so no problems there. Would recommend as breakfast was excellent and choices extensive.

Gran comida, personal considerado y atento, un ambiente encantador y un excelente servicio. ¿Qué más puedes querer? Realmente disfruté de la opción vegetariana - sabroso y generoso.
