The best restaurants serving British food in South West

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.

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

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.

We went to The Carpenters Arms for a Sunday roast dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day. The food was lovely. They were really busy but the service was excellent, the waiting staff were friendly and cheerful. The roast was the best we have had at a pub.The portions were a good size with plenty of veg. All really good. We will definitely return soon.

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.

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

Delicious Sunday Roast, very tasty and good value, I had the Beef and my partner had Turkey, friendly and helpful staff.

The staff where so lovely and made sure, everyone was happy I don’t think we could fault them one bit and are waiter Callum was pure vibes

I visited this establishment recently, the food we had was good, I definitely recommend the burgers, definitely better than your average run of the mill pub or bar. The staff and other customers were friendly and welcoming. We all had a great evening and are going back for Sunday carvery 100 percent !! Roll on Sunday

Friendly, efficient staff and every breakfast item was hot including the beans. Great value. Would definately visit again when in the area.

This is the best cocktail bar in town. The guys here are the top notch crew. I come down here as I live quite close. The pressure is on due to the time of year. The manager, obviously stressed, but still gave me eye contact and smiled. 5☆. I'm an elderly woman enjoying a glass of wine but I don't feel awkward or that I shouldn't be here. I've worked in night clubs and bars for 52 years and yes I did lie about my age but these guys have it sorted. I cannot recommend them enough.

I have eaten here and I can honestly say the staff and the food were fantastic. The indoor market is also really nice and it’s a great place to stop and rest. There is also a fantastic bakery downstairs. All in all well worth a stop.

Very pleasntly surprised with this little gem - the owners and staff are extremly friendly and try to cater for your every need. The beer was good and so was the food - simple but great value and well cooked - children had chicken nuggets which were home made and excellent. Fish Pie was perfect as well.

Food was tasty but the seafood/fish portions were tiny for the price paid. £13 for a tri-scallops appetiser with each scallop no bigger than a 10-pence piece. Shouldn’t these scallops be left in the sea a while longer? The Thai monkfish main course was also tasty but at £25 was tiny. I understand that I will be paying a premium for the stunning Isles of Scilly location but expected more from a high-quality restaurant that is supposed to be showcasing the best in local seafood. I politely gave this feedback to my waiter but no attempt was made by the hotel management team to discuss this feedback before the bill arrived.

Be aware that the hostel is basically a building site at the moment, and almost certainly will be for at least another month, possibly two. So, the views mentioned on the website are simply not there-far from it. Unfortunately, the YHA do not warn you about this when you book, so I was extremely disappointed when I arrived for my four-night stay last week. It is certainly true that the hostel is in a fantastic location, and I have no doubt that it will be spectacular when finished-a new outdoor terrace and a conservatory, as I understand it. However, if you are considering paying a visit in the next couple of months or so, I strongly recommend that you check with the hostel first. The frontage is currently just unsightly groundworks.
