The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Our second visit to this fantastic venue- and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely friendly staff, excellent food - not your usual roadside fare, definitely a step ( or two) up. Our dog was brought her own bowl of water too. A very special place.

Quiet campsite with great facilities including washing machine and microwave. Lovely hot showers. Very clean. Games supplied in the snug. Friendly, accommodating, staff and great food. Reasonable prices

We have been dining at the restaurant for years and it has been our go to special occasion place. We recently went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were really underwhelmed by the menu and the quality of the food. We are vegetarian and there is always a few veggie / vegan menu options, which is always welcome. The starters were delicious and there were a good range of veggie/vegan choices. There were 2 main course options - pasta or a veggie burger. We ordered one of each so we could compare and contrast. The burger was £20 and was absolutely nothing special. It was a commercially made burger in a commercially made bun. It was served with 1 lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato and it looked very sad. I have had way better at Smash Burger. The pasta was ok. Dessert was also grim. The Paris Brest, was dry, solid and tasteless and the knickerbocker glory was a mishmash of cheap tasting strawberry ice cream, fruit and smashed meringue - which seemed to have come out of a packet.

Absolutely amazing experience!!! New Year Eve at Nook. Electric vibes, yummy cocktails, great DJ . Everyone in the moment 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Excellent welcome from land lady Margaret A very talented lady as the decor inside the pub proves. Staff polite and helpful . Very friendly place locals happy to share their enthusiasm for their rejuvenated community Pub. Another local shared how good the food is and from what we saw all looked very tasty with thoughtful presentation. We will be back to eat with friends to support this unique place . No longer called The Drovers now the Cockerel new name new vision new approach

This is now called Exmoor fish and chips. Very clean and well run, girls wearing hairnets. Very quick service. The Boss had small cod, cooked fresh which she pronounced excellent. I had pie also very good. Shed load of really good chips. All in all a good chippie. I recommend them.

Came with family to celbrate my sisters birthday and enjoyed the meal very much did have the creamy portobello mushroom starter but found it had to much sauce the lasange was very good

Very greasy food horrible coffee the waiter mark had dirty hands and clothes and the owner was aggressive and rude and didn't want to correct the issues

Stopped here for a quick lunch. they only serve pasty’s or sausage rolls hot , comes with no side salad or crisps like others usually do but was very nice all the same . it was empty when we got there but soon filled up . lovely garden to sit in also . friendly service. we will return .

We came for Saturday lunch after a beautiful walk to Wistman's Woods. Staff were very friendly and efficient and even though it was busy and we hadn't reserved we received a table in the restaurant. The menu was varied and the food was wonderful. This accompanied by their locally brewed Ale made our lunch memorable. We came back in the afternoon after another long walk and enjoyed their lovely scones and tea and took a souvenir pack of their Ales On Sunday we returned and even though their Sunday roasts were fully booked we managed to get a seat and enjoyed the light lunch menu, consisting of homemade sausage roll, quiche and a very delicious soup. Compliments to the chef!

Lovely little spot next to the canal tow path with easy parking. Good range on the menu and nice outdoor but covered seating options. However it definitely feels like your classic captive audience cafe, being that there are few other options nearby. We had a brie, chutney and bacon panini (around £9) and a bacon bap with added sausage (also around the £9 mark). The food was hot and tasted good but for £9 somethings felt lacking. The bacon fat wasn't trimmed, there was no kind of garnish and for close to a tenner I'd expect a better quality bread roll. In truth, it looked like something you might find in a lay by than in a cute cafe, but it did taste good and both bacon and sausages were good quality. Similarly, the brie was good and the panini was tasty. I think small touches could hugely elevate the offerings to reflect the cost, as our two sandwiches and two coffees cost £22, which seems a lot.

What an amazing welcome at the Thorverton Arms for our group of 17 bellringers on our way to ring the 10 bells at Thorverton Church, when we arrived before our ring and enjoyed coffee and tea. The lunch we had after ringing was superb, every meal choice was of the highest standard, hot and appetising. It was even better that some could choose a smaller potion, though even these were of a good size. Sweets were to die for, the Eton Mess Cheesecake was exceptional. All the staff under the direction of Mandy were courteous, always smiling and able to satisfy every need of all our bellringers.

Visit for lunch after nearby hospital appointment Lovely warm reception Beautifully converted building The homemade lamb and mint pie and mash was superb piping hot and plentiful

A delicious and wholesome soup of the day. Tomato and ginger. A popular and attractive venue with stone walls. Welcoming and cheerful crew. 🇬🇧🇳🇿
