The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Always a warm welcome from Wayne and his staff, and nothing is too much trouble. They are always happy to adapt the menu to cater for my dietary needs and the food is always excellent and great value for money. Thank you.

Had the most wonderful lunch here with friends a couple of days ago and just had to share what a special place The Turf is! From the moment we arrived (after a lovely walk along the canal), everything was spot on. The food was absolutely delicious – you can really taste the quality, and knowing they use local ingredients makes it even better. The drinks were perfect, just how we like them. But what really stood out was the service – truly superb! Friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. It really elevated the whole experience. During lunch, I learned they also have hotel rooms available year-round, and now I can't stop thinking about it! Waking up in that incredible location, looking out over the Exe Estuary... it must be magical. The views are breathtaking, and the whole area is teeming with wildlife. It honestly felt like watching a nature documentary with all the birds – apparently, thousands visit the estuary! And the sunsets? I can only imagine how amazing they must be from there. Yes, you can only get here by foot, bike, or boat, but that's part of its unique charm – it feels like a real escape, so peaceful and special. We will definitely be back, and next time we're booking a room! Highly, highly recommend The Turf for food, service, and those absolutely stunning estuary views. A true gem!

A great little stop off for tea and cake with fantasic views to the Welsh Hills on a clear day. The warm scones are delicious and reasonably priced.

Absolutely delicious food could not fault a thing. Staff were amazing and very friendly, and the chef came out to check everything was OK, which was nice

Although it was very quiet, we were rushed to make our order. Over priced and food underwhelming. Very unimpressed. Food was not hot. Will not go back

All winter we have regularly been going to the Veranda restaurant for crab sandwiches which have been delicious and packed full of white crab meat albeit the price has gone up over the last six months they have still been worth it . Today however the crab sandwich was a very poor relation to what we have had previously more like a mixed pate with brown meat and salad vegetables, the sandwich was probably half the thickness to the one we had earlier in the month . Is this the start of the summer trade for visitors no wonder they come once and don’t return complaining of being ripped off . We felt ashamed of the standard offered for a £19 sandwich

I have the privilege of travelling all over Cornwall and Devon for work and have done for 17 years, as I am regularly in Four Lanes I have eaten at this chip shop for many years, though not many times a year. Well no more after todays visit, The “Gastro” Steak and Ale Pie £5.60, the top of which was as hard as leather, not sure how many time it had been heated and cooled. The Gravy (see picture) £1.70 was a thin brownish liquid the like of which you might see come out of you have a bout of dodgy tummy, I threw it away. Small chips £2.90 should be called SMALL chips, I have added a picture of the packet with sunglasses on top to gauge the size, it wasn’t full even that small size, the chips were at least OK. Why didn’t I go back and complain, to be honest I couldn’t see a member of staff who looked older than late teens and didn’t want to make their work shift awkward or uncomfortable. I ate what I could, the contents of the pie were nice, the chips no better or worse than a million other chippies the grave vile. I won’t be back.

We were attracted by the terrace with lovely views overlooking the sea on a sunny evening. The restaurant wasn’t yet open but we were able to order drinks and light meals, which were pretty good. We did feel that service was a little inconsistent between staff members. Drinks were quite pricey but a shame we weren’t there in time for happy hour between 5-6!

Excellent pasty. Busy on a Saturday.

Fabulous service and food. The best fish and chips we have had. Freshly cooked haddock and chips, delicious and a good price.

Please guys can you change your coffee suppliers and organise baresta training as the coffee is always bitter where the coffee grouts are not cleaned out properly. Every time we go the food always look good but the horrible coffee let’s them down! We love the centre but now feel we have to go elsewhere to eat and drink. The public are far more aware now of good coffee with the ambulance of choice around!

Sunday lunch was atrocious, beef too tough to eat, veg overcooked, charged extra without being told for the worst cauliflower cheese i have ever eaten. Staff were not accommodating even to the extent one almost complained when a member of our party left most of their inedible beef. Do not expect to be served instant coffee in an alleged gastro pub. Sunday roast was really the only option offered, reluctantly agreed to do steak baguettes which was actually a white sliced bread sandwich. Our party did not complain at the time as the atmosphere was not condusive to this. Never visit again

The traditional atmosphere - including oak beams and log fires - in this 16th Century former coaching inn is cosy and friendly, and the food is simply superb . . . fresh local produce, attractively presented, cooked to perfection, and served in generous portions. Good selection of wines and craft ales, and highly customer-responsive service.

Cool place, wonderful staff and hospitality, beautiful pub and rooms. Really enjoyed the stay. Will definitely come back.

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.
