The best restaurants serving British food in South West

We were in Bude for a day and decided to have fish and chips for lunch. The staff were friendly and served us promptly and the food was very good. Fresh and abundant portions. Inside the restaurant was narrow but stretch out lengthways which wasn’t great but there was enough room for the 5 of us.

Had a dinner in the Duchy on Halloween Day with my Partner..food was lovely & fresh..Top Service & very friendly Staff who made us very welcome..Our new favourites place

Great venue for lunch, always busy, good food at reasonable prices. Until today, prices have risen, the place was half empty, the food still good but not exceptional so why the price hike? My breaded plaice with chips, peas and tartare sauce was £16.99! It was nice enough, not outstanding and available elsewhere in Sidmouth for a lot less. If they want more profit and less customers I think this approach will work, we will think twice before returning as there are many other places to eat locally that offer better value for similar food.

We had the best Sunday Carvery Lunch here with our friends! Everything was cooked to perfection and friendly helpful staff. We couldn’t fault a thing!!

Shame the gammon is no longer on the menu, it was one of the best meals I’ve had! Having stayed several times and enjoyed it on numerous evenings I was disappointed it was no longer available.

A delightful and delicious evening all round. From the very warm welcome, fab atmosphere, to the food, the FOOD ! was amazing, perfect soufflés, tasty mushrooms, amazing lamb dishes and scrumptious desserts. Good drink options and brilliant service. What a lucky village Loders is to have this amazing team running the local. We will definitely be back. Special shout out to Suki.

So I am very disappointed to have to write this , as a regular customer at This little garden centre we loved to meet as a family and have breakfast here , but our last couple of visits we haven’t been very pleased with the quality and the service , we noticed a change in menu and possibly a different cook , we always go early before it gets to busy as usually there is 4-6 of us and we know we’re a bigger table so get it ordered early , this time we went again arrived around 9-9.15 am wasn’t busy we ordered and had drinks delivered , 1 hour later we received the food and it was very disappointing, overcooked , dry bacon and sausage , some parts were hot some cold , they’ve removed pancakes off the menu for some reason , I would of thought they would be the easiest to prepare , we didn’t make a fuss while we were there but unfortunately I don’t think we will return now . Such a shame as this is a place that is convenient for us , and we enjoy a catch up with extended family . Also what I presume was a manager seemed to be very grumpy and snapped at my father , I am very surprised as everyone is usually very friendly this is why we have returned in the past . Put it down to a bad day I don’t know but I feel very disappointed .

Looking for a value for money Sunday carvery .The Aggi didn’t disappoint real friendly greeting upon arrival and a very tasty hot carvery with plenty to choose from .booking online gives you a deal 2 large carvery’s for £20 absolute bargain . Will definitely return .

Four of us dined at this restaurant last night, and it was one of the most disappointing experiences we’ve ever had. If this is what Michelin-level service is supposed to be, then I must be missing something. We all ordered the lamb, and each plate contained just three slices, as thin as tissue paper and completely stone cold. It seemed as if the chef had forgotten to heat it properly perhaps even in the microwave. The plates themselves were cold as well, which made it clear that our food had likely been sitting on the chef’s tray for at least 20 minutes before being served. When our food finally arrived, we had to wait an additional four to five minutes before calling a staff member to bring us cutlery without so much as an apology. I also noticed that the woman at the table next to us had to send her food back because it was cold. To top it off, they attempted to charge us over £20 for the service charge. Given the poor experience, I refused to pay it. Service charges should be an option on the card reader, allowing customers to select "yes" or "no." Why should I pay extra for someone to serve me cold food? I was truly disappointed that this restaurant holds a Michelin title. It seems that this recognition has led to overconfidence, resulting in a decline in both food quality and service. Please take this as constructive feedback rather than criticism.

Been to this place a few times over the years, every time I visit it seems to be under new management. I don’t write many reviews but just wanted to mention what a friendly and well managed pub it seems to be. Very welcoming, comfortable, the fire was lit and the beer well kept. I go to a lot of pubs and enjoy trying out ones I’m less familiar with. This definitely gets my recommendation.

I stayed at the Mariners in recently whilst visiting family in the town. The staff were very friendly and my room was comfortable with a great view. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent and I will return to the Mariners when I'm next in Falmouth.

very average food which is very highly priced. Its not casual dining of nice food or casual dining of good food. Its casual dining of moderate food without much atmosphere and only a couple of tables have a good view

Cafe is not as good as it used to be. They have made the menu a lot smaller. Service from the staff is great apart from the what looks to be the owner, who seems very miserable and not very welcoming. Sausages have changed and are not nice and I could see others in the cafe leaving there’s as I did mine. Poached eggs perfectly cooked however clearly lots of vinegar in the water and was not drained before putting onto toast, toast was sopping wet and tasted like vinegar.

Popped in one lunchtime to check it out & book a table for the evening however weren’t impressed with the reception despite there only being two other people in. We followed three other people in with their dogs who also waited as we did but there was no one behind the bar although there was a man talking to the couple at a table. No communication came from this person at all so we all walked out! The atmosphere was somewhat depressing!

Fabulous breakfast, huge portions, specific requests catered for. Great service from Lucy, even provided binoculars for a bit of seal watching!
