The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Roast dinners are amazing, we had beef and lamb which the meat was so soft, shame we didn't stay long enough to try the pies.

Simply fantastic. My family and friend, including our dog, had lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions in one week because it was so, so good. Claire and team provided exemplary customer service, great advice about the menu and were fun, friendly and welcoming to the dog and us. The food is delicious and if you order a glass of wine, get the ‘Claire size’. :)

Had dinner here last night with friends, a lovely village, locals pub with exceptional food. Between us we had the ducking, beef casserole and steak, all very good, plenty of flavour and well presented. Service was good, as made to feel very welcome and welcome from moment we stepped through the door. A great experience and great value for money.

Absolutely 💯% could not fault anything, greeted and taken to our table by Sam, given a glass of bubbly, and served by Kia and Tiana, we enjoyed both courses and then the boss came and took a picture 📸 fantastic 😀 thanks to all especially the chef 👨‍🍳 😀

Hidden gem. Make sure you drive past McDonald's and eat here instead. The seventies decor was fun and the staff were fantastic. We had 2 all day breakfasts. The food was high quality and excellently cooked. Will definitely eat here again and happy to recommend to others.

Sadly very disappointed. Had garlic mushrooms to start. Three portions ok but one looked like they'd run out and quickly put some mushrooms in a tasteless soup! Mains ok but one had ham egg and chips which the ham was awful. Fair enough taken off of bill. Was supposed to be a restaurant but exactly same as bar and dogs in restaurant area. A big no no for me. Won't be returning as this was a birthday meal and was not as expected.

We visited the Riveria for lunch today, our first visit for 8 years and I have to say that I was very disappointed. I ordered cod and chips at a hotel next to the sea but I was given a piece of battered fish straight out of the "Bird's Eye" mould and not freshly cooked as I expected from a hotel of some repute. This was nowhere near the quality I enjoy regularly from my local Wetherspoons!

A brave venture, running a cafe/restaurant that doesn't have a shop front and relies on an A board on the street to attract people but The Duck and Bean has pulled it off. And it's great that they serve brunch all day: it's what you want when you are bored with pizza, burgers or pasta. The upstairs kitchen produces great food effortlessly, served by a very nice and efficient team. Definitely a place to return to and the number of locals there bore this out. Thank you!

Decent pub and good service. A little on the pricey side but nice atmosphere. I would return and have a few drinks good looking menu.

Not great. They don't serve Cod, only Haddock 🫤. With two hungry kids in tow, my husband decided to order here instead of finding a good local chippy in Dawlish which we were going to do. It is, however, super convenient, quick & easy if you're onsite. The portions were quite small and the batter on the fish was a little 'powdery' and not particularly crispy but it was the haddock that really let this chippy down and my husband really didn't enjoy it after he'd been looking forward to fish & chips on holiday! Chips were okay though but kids sausages were quite salty. I'd probably recommend finding a good seaside chippy if you want good fish & chips. We went to one next to the train station in Dawlish which was MUCH MUCH better. Husband got his fish & chip fix in the end!

We ate in the magnificently decorated bar and my choice of food, the venison steak was pretty good. The service staff were very pleasant and the bar had a choice of excellent cask ale. It is probably not the cheapest place around, but we were pleased to have found it and had a very nice meal.

Stopped for lunch after walking from Lustleigh with a friend on Tuesday 26/3. She had a tasty baguette and I had the most delicious cheesy chips. The service was great, the atmosphere was warm and cosy and the waitress was so welcoming. The cakes looked amazing too. We're planning a return visit soon

My wife and I went to a kiosk to get a burger and chips. The neighbouring business offered local produce but were closed so we went to the Ships Galley. I asked the staff where the beef was from for the burgers (which I don’t think is unreasonable) and was told ‘From a cow’. After that I had fish and chips which was good apart from saying they charge for napkins. Unfortunately the person behind the counter was a tennager with attitude who proceeded to tell the other person the amusing come back comment. I won’t be using the Ships Galley again.

Lovely little fish and chip shop. Well cooked fish and chips and good sized portions. Reasonably priced , friendly staff. Great to eat looking out to sea.

Expecting a decent lunch, but only sandwiches and sausage rolls available, so we had lovely, home made cheese scones, but the coffee was only luke warm and insipid.
