The best restaurants serving British food in South West

We went for lunch. One friend and I had salmon with a parmesan and herb crust with vegetables and potatoes and another friend had beefburger with brioche bun, chips and salad. The salmon was a big piece. The vegetables were more like a soup but tasty. The beefburger was made with good quality mince. Very good food but very busy. A nice atmosphere, but noisy and can get hot. It was raining and cold outside so probably better in warm weather as there are plenty of tables outside as it is obviously a popular place to go. They do take table reservations which I would recommend.

When we moved to the area in early 2020, one of our neighbours told us that Bentleys was his favourite places for a Sunday carvery. Then came Covid and lockdowns, so that we have only now been able to try it out, since its reopening last month. We were very much looking forward to it and, whilst it was OK, it was a little disappointing. Firstly the complimentary hors d’oeuvres. One small rectangular plate was presented to us, but whilst the quantity of what was on there was fine for two, the actual components on it were one chicken skewer, one spring roll and two small, but different, tarts, meaning that, other than the olives and feta, everything had to be cut in half to enable us each to sample everything! The carvery itself was neither the best that I have ever had, but nor was it the worst. I was impressed that the beef was cooked as beef should be, and not cremated, and commented as much to the chef. As this was unusual for a carvery both my wife and I went for it plus some turkey. I have to say that the turkey was very nice, but the beef was rather chewy. Vegetables were OK; I thought that the roast potatoes could have been a bit crispier and the Yorkshire was pretty rock solid. For dessert, my wife chose the lemon meringue which, I think was a good choice, because I went for rhubarb crumble and custard and found the crumble topping to be almost as solid as a pie crust. I'm afraid that it is unlikely that we will be rushing back.

Great food and entertainment. At around £50 for 2 with a bottle of wine and drinks included it is worth paying a little bit more than you would in a pub.

Tuvimos varias visitas al salón de té mientras estábamos en Polperro. Las mejores vistas del puerto y una trampa solar también. Gran selección de deliciosos pasteles y asientos dentro y fuera. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Ended up coming here by chance but definitely be back. Lovely food at a great price. Served by Leigh and Michael who were fab.

Always come here to meet my friends. The food is good, the service excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. The facilities are always spotless.

Lovely little village pub very friendly good service and good food There is a car park right opposite the pub which is handy We will definitely be calling in there again

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and came across this place. It was full but I noticed some stairs so I popped my head in and asked if they had any tables upstairs. All I got a was a curt 'no'. As luck would have it someone was just about to leave so we got their table. It wasn't cleared for quite a while but we didn't mind. The was quite a lot of choice on the menu and the prices were reasonable. They seemed to be in a rush to take our order but I imagine its because they don't have many tables so want to keep turning over customers quickly. The food was good and we enjoyed looking over the harbour side. My daughter found it extremely novel that fishermen came in for their lunch still with all their gear on. It's obviously popular with locals. After we paid I noticed we'd been overcharged, but this was soon rectified. All that had happened was that the wrong till button had been pressed. Not a problem, mistakes happen.

Excelente variedad de quesos y productos salados. Buen servicio, precios razonables en la zona de la cafetería. Instalaciones de aseo limpio también!

Love this traditional and rustic country pub which I try to visit a few times a year having grown up down the road in Pewsey and as my mother is buried at the village church down the lane. A real nostalgia trip for me when going to The Golden Swan! We've never had a bad meal here. Generous portions of tasty, home-cooked food at a good price, excellent local beers (6X from Devizes a particular favourite of mine) and a quiet and traditional setting. I've often visited on cycle rides with friends as well as with the family and the pub works for both really well. Loads of tranquil outdoor seating if you visit in the summer too. The landlord was great bantering with our kids when they asked a heap of questions about the bits and bobs around the pub, also when we got onto the topic of football. A friendly, family-run country pub that are becoming fewer and further between, so always keen to support this place to enjoy a beer and a burger.

Booked a table based on the good reviews for my partner's birthday. Arrived at restaurant and taken to our table which was situated right next to entry door, partner asked whether we could be moved and had a long wrangle with front of house, being told that all the tables were booked and we couldn't be accommodated. Finally we were allowed a table for an 1 hour under the proviso that we may not get our food before table needed, as so busy. Sat down and first courses came quickly and both quite happy, then waited almost 30 mins, while tables lay unoccupied around us before having to ask where our main courses were. We were assured they were arriving shortly, after people who had arrived after us had been served. Mains were really below par, meat and Yorkshire puddings stone cold, veg overcooked, no condiments offered and generally really disappointed. The plates were nearly as full when they left as when they arrived. Asked for the bill it was shoved at us as though they couldn't wait to get rid of us. I for one am really surprised that the reviews are so good as I wouldn't recommend the Coachman to anyone, especially not if it is for a special occasion.

We have had a previous bad experience of this place once before (about 2 years ago to which I left a negative review at the time). Hoping that things might of improved we chanced it for a snack and drink. Well all I can say nothing has improved! Poor selection of food, cakes etc with high prices to match. The staff (mostly young) are left to their own devices and are slow/unsure. We waited 15 minutes after ordering at the till for our hot drinks to arrive where we were sitting. When they finally arrived the cappuccino was vile and the tea was no better - tasteless and stewed! We left the majority of both which was undrinkable! Table 6 (where we were sitting) needed clearing and a good wet cloth round it. The place could do with some updating/refurbishment. Sorry Wells Cathedral but if you are looking for people to pay a £14 entrance fee in to the cathedral, you certainly need to up your game on the other facilities such as the cafe, toilets (downstairs which are small and smelly and a better selection of merchandise in the gift shop (maybe you should go and see what Worcester and Salisbury cathedrals provide).

Enjoyed a nice casual lunch in the conservatory area, food etc was good but wanted to give a shout out to Brad. Efficient friendly service is an increasingly rare thing these days but Brad's service and attention was impressive - thank you!

Went for lunch to catch up with friends and all four of us were very impressed with the service, food and value for money? We will return.

Family birthday meal for 5, food was amazing, hot, very reasonably priced. Best meal I have eaten for a long time. Staff were amazing, great service.
