The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Came here for the first time today and while the food is very expensive for the portion size(it was child size at best ) it was nice. We came on a Sunday and they do have a limited menu so if you are a fussy eater like me and don’t want a roast I wouldn’t reccomend coming on a Sunday I think it was £16 we paid for just one small roast I personally won’t be back I mean I don’t know what they portion sizes would be like during the week but I don’t think i would risk it.

Sadly very poor service. Ordered cream tea but left after coffee as the scones etc hadn’t arrive after 30 minutes. Staff very rude. Went to NT café which was perfect. Avoid!!

We've had lunch here a few times in summer so decided to have dinner one evening. It was okay but nothing more than that and very expensive for the standard of cooking, especially when compared to nearby similar pubs like The White Horse or The Fiddleford Inn. Everything was as described but the absolute bare bones of it so the sirloin steak was about 30% fat and only came with one smallish mushroom and half a tomato and chips, the fillet was about half the size you would normally get and the fruit crumble amounted to 4 spoonsful for £8, and the price for our puddings was actually £2.50 more than on the online menu. You can get away with small portions if the food is imaginative and cooked to a high standard but this wasn't and we could have made the whole meal to a similar standard at home for a fifth of the price.

Place has gone downhill lately. Did the Friday quiz but it was uncomfortably cold in the room for everyone. Service and staff good but price increases (due to their financial difficulties) have been put up beyond many of other town pubs.

This is a gem of a find in Cheddar … sitting down to eat in a clean, modern and warm environment after visiting the caves was wonderful. Added to the magic of our day. Great veggie options which was novel for a fish n chip place- thank you :) Great service, lush food and reasonably priced - we loved it :)

Absolutely disgusting service. Waited 45mins past our booking time in a little library room and were completely forgotten about. Asked a waitress twice before asking for the manager and she was no help at all. Just rolled her eyes and said "obviously we're busy and will get you in when we can" as though we'd casually walked in. Took 2 members of staff to open our wine and didn't receive it until halfway through the main course. By the time our dessert order was taken we were the only table left in the restaurant and still had to ask for cutlery to be brought to us. When my wife tried to suggest service had been poor we were told "well we've had 'celebrity' chefs in tonight and they all left happy". So thanks. Good to know you only offer good service if you recognise a name. We WON'T be returning!!!!!

Popped in here after a swim for a coffee and something to eat. Queue wasn't that big but service was super slow! If you are going to shout out the number so people can collect the food when it's hot then shout it out loud.....I stood next to the hatch and the young people were practically whispering the numbers! Coffee hot and ok.

Good food! Could have been slightly hotter. Large portions excellent, friendly service. Definitely make a second visit. Good variety for a small cafe. Toilet 🚽 facilities need an upgrade.

Expensive and a very poor experience. £8.80 for beef stew which consisted on 4 x oxo cuve size chewy beef pieces. Despite the view certainly not value for money. Very dissapointed. Won't be returning.

Whilst the setting is lovely and the staff were very good the same cannot be said of the food, which was very disappointing and very over priced. My friend had checked that they could cater for a vegetarian, which was confirmed but there was absolutely no options other than a dreadful 'roast' vegetable salad, which had virtually no roast vegetables, a few roast auberges and peppers but otherwise it all came out of a jar, mozzarella cheese and rocket. I ordered place, which I am sure had been frozen as it was tasteless, soggy spinach, good tender stem broccoli. My poor friend put up with the 'roast' veg salad. We both had French fries which were of poor quality and not very nice. Puddings were good. Such a pity, so much scope to have provided a better meal. This is not a cheap restaurant and I could not recommend it unfortunately.

The waitress was outstanding, so friendly. It was chilly inside and could of done with the fire lit. The food is not great. The menu extremely boring, mostly everything served with chips. Not a curry or chilli in sight. The portion sizes are big but this is not quality. I think they need a decent cheif and it was expensive if we had paid the normal price. There was a January discount on.

I have always wanted to stay here, so went recently for a few days. The bedroom was small but adequate, everything you needed. A lovely comfortable bed, ample storage, tea and coffee tray, a fan (which l used as found it quite warm) plus a heater. The bathroom spacious and a nice size shower, only thing missing was a shower cap. Pleased to see a slip mat included. I had been quoted a figure for dinner, but on arrival no one seem to equate with it, so l consulted the reception next day to see what l was actually paying and Meg the receptionist checked out my account and put me on a leisure break price, which was excellent. I really enjoyed all my food l am a big 'foodie'. BF was equally as good in the morning, surprised to see kedgeree on the menu. Staff all very friendly and helpful. A lovely stay'

La comida era buena, el servicio terrible. Nuestro servidor principal no pudo responder preguntas. Se fue para obtener respuestas, tardó años en reaparecer y no tenía la información. Conseguir comida tomó más de una hora. $ 350 para 4 personas (solo dos bebedores) , esperamos algo mejor.

It's been a few years and this lovely Harbour side restaurant is now a Members' Club. However, if you have business in the Marina - Elliot Brown in my case - you can get a guest ticket. I think at other times if they are not too busy you could possibly eat here. Anyway, great situation. Good service and an extensive Menue. On this occasion I opted for the Ploughmans, delicious and all the ingredients were really fresh, but on WHITE Bread? The Americano with cold milk was superb. Sometimes an excuse for an average Coffee. Not here. Great Ice Cream for Dessert and another Coffee - Macciato this time. Hayling Seagoon

Cracking fish and chips. Always freshly cooked, always great quality and always piping hot. The portions are huge too. Can’t ask for more from a takeaway.
