The best restaurants serving British food in South West

We have just had a wonderful meal at the old inn, we met as a group of friends with a little baby. Two of us had roast dinner and it was very tasty, with a nice selection of vegetables, lots of tender meat and very tasty gravy. The other adults in the group had the venison and duck and again the food was very tasty and nicely presented. The puddings were lovely, good portion size and home made. The food was great and the service was good too. We will definitely be back again soon.

Disgusting experience .made not to feel welcome. Very abusive landlady shouting and swearing at their customers.

Booked for 2 nights. When we got to the room, the rooms itself was nice but…. Bin had not been emptied, toilet had not been cleaned, dirty jug in fridge and an empty cocaine baggie in the beside drawer. Went out the following day and the room was not serviced. No clean towels and the bed was not made. Such a shame as last time it was lovely.

We've been many times before and always loved the food, was always busy with a queue outside, which tells you all you need to know . Today we ordered takeout fish and chips for two, and it was really disappointing - dry and overcooked. The shop interior which always used to be clean was grubby , and the floor needed a sweep and mop( bits of paper and general muck all over it). Such a shame its gone downhill like this. Wont be returning.

i’m not one to pick a bone but £14 for a burger of poorer quality than fast food :( & “loaded fries” that had a sprinkle of cheese & a couple bits of meat.. not impressed. everywhere else was packed so we went here in hopes of a nice meal.. but way over priced and not very tasty. the staff were unfriendly and barely looked at us when taking our order and seemed to be whispering while we ate. ordered milkshakes for dessert and they were delicious though. the food however was overpriced & i would not go back.

Been using farmhouse a while now but prices keep going up yet last pork rolls seemed to be very thinly cut pork and dry not usual standard will try again but also depends on the prices

We visited The Castle for a family funeral. The staff were incredibly attentive and couldn't do enough for us. A special mention to Rose, who did a superb job running the bar and serving food. The pub has a good atmosphere and would be good for a casual meal or a quick pint.

I have never been in here before we visited as a family for lunch. The food was good quality and fresh we had a Hawaiian burger, Somerset burger, a cow and chicken burger, And a lasagna chips and salad.

Arrived after having a year away to find no tea room and part of the shop (next to the actual water wheel). This is such a shame but I suppose its probably due to visitor numbers falling as nowhere to have a cuppa & snack although there are nearby alternatives that are comparable to what were the high prices. The remaining shop stock has stayed the same items of clothing and tourist pieces. Could do with a revamp, new stock items to breath fresh air into it. Other than that staff friendly as usual.

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.

Mother’s Day Sunday Lunch - fabulous, the beef was melt in the mouth. I have eaten in a lot of places and the last time ate beef as good as today was at The Dart Marina Hotel. The chef deserves a pat on the back and recognition of just how perfect that beef joint was cooked. All other dishes were tasty and portion size was really good. Selection for picky Autistic Son who hates roasts was a real bonus. Not all places offer off the menu items on Sundays. Desert selection great - berries still a little frozen on top of desert but easy fix. Think just needed taking out of freezer a bit earlier. Minor issue but worth noting. Staff were very friendly could have asked for deserts choices a little quicker. Asked for a Shandy and got a larger ! Think younger staff not aware of what a shandy is . Didn’t make a fuss drank what we were given. Dinning room was very warm could have done with windows open. Bar door was open which did give some relief. It’s a lovely light filled room . A lot of competition locally ,but after today’s meal I think you are top of the leader board. Wherever you get your beef from - keep them supplying you :-) Complementary glass of fizzy was a lovely touch. Thank you so much for a really lovely meal.

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.

Honestly food was average at best, processed chicken and pesto sandwich over £7, slice of cake over £4 and an expensive coffee. Pricey and average, sorry.
