The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Very polite staff accommodated two scruffy walkers for a last minute afternoon tea in their comfortable well decorated lounge - excellent quality food and we weren’t left hungry which is often the case in London where we live. You absolutely get what you pay for, we’ll be visiting again if we’re in the area.

We've been before and we'll go again. The staff and service are brilliant and the food is the main reason we go. We have to stay for at least 3 nights to allow us to work through the menu. Locally sourced ingredients, good portion sizes, well cooked and accompanied by decent wines. Local beers are always a plus wherever I go. The hotel is in an old building and I wouldn't expect to find chain hotel uniformity. The beds are comfortable and the room warm in winter. I can be picky anywhere I go, believe me, but I can overlook imperfections if the overall experience is great, and this was great again.

A lovely way to celebrate my Granddaughter’s 18th Birthday - fine dining and good service with a celebratory cake to round things off. The view from the restaurant is amazing and added to the ambience of the meal.

This place is spot on for lovely Ale and Casual dining. Non pretentious. The Landlord and Landlady are great and up for a laugh. It's a real world Pub (as they use to be before the lefty anorak crowd swamped the UK). Don't expect fine dining. It's just a good honest English Pub. Decent prices. Clean Loos and I'll be going back as often as I can.

Great english breakfast of both variations, normal and vegetarian. Great service from attentive staff. Can get very busy at sunday morning opening times.

A large group of friends visited for a (choices pre-booked) brunch celebration. The restaurant is bright and airy with comfortable seating at clean tables. The breakfast menu is extensive and food was both delicious and beautifully presented. Drinks order was prompt and all the food arrived together. The staff could not have been more helpful and went out of their way to make the occasion special. Highly recommend.

Filthy cold venue. Dirty floors and radiators that were barely warm. Ladies toilet basically clean but surfaces filthy. Metal seats on a cold day chilled me to the bone on an already freezing cold venue. I inviting menu. £9 for jacket potatoes with uninspiring fillings. The place looks so dirty I didn’t risk the breakfast idea. We didn’t bother and left hungry. Ordered hot chocolate. Watery instant drink smothered in synthetic aerosol cream… absolutely vile. LOTTERY FUNDED???? Mmmmmm

We always pop in here when we visit Barnstaple. Wimpy is a definite blast from the past for me. Always enjoy their half pounder and chips. Today we were served by Sam. Excellent customer service and helped my elderly mum make her food choice as she was confused with the menu. Thank you Sam, keep up the great work!

Visitó el domingo para un post paseo snack / bebida. Había 6 adultos y 4 perros todos con botas / patas muy fangosas. El encantador equipo nos dio una bienvenida muy cálida y no parecía importarle que habíamos hecho un desastre de su piso! La comida era genial y muy buena relación calidad-precio y llegó muy rápido. Incluso nos dieron un plato de salchichas gratis para los perros. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que caminemos por la zona

Disappointed. Tea cakes looked lovely but were cold,served with frozen butter which we couldn't spread as it disintegrated into lumps. Cappucino horrible-scalding hot,milk over-worked and did not taste of coffee. Poor.

Great spot to visit.. craft shops were lovely and very interesting recommend the glass blowing.. Nice cafe and food.. Church and Cockington village well worth a visit…

New Year’s Eve party great same as last year highly recommend this place for camping as the pub an people are so friendly an dogs aloud

We were staying nearby for the February Half Term so tried this place on one of our evenings. Hit and miss reviews from our family so was unsure what star to award. Chips were comparable with our local fish and chip van in the village, not well done enough for me, very potato-y. Husband enjoyed, me not so much.

Popped in here for a drink after seeing in 2025! It was a real honour to meet some of my boyfriend's sister's friends. Great place for people watching.

Staff should be trained to know that you collect a stamp for each drink you purchased and not for each visit as incorrect advice was being provided, other than that staff were helpful. Great lattes and the place was a bit cleaner than in previous visits.
