The best restaurants serving British food in South West

We came for the first time and had an afternoon tea. The food was lovely, staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend coming and excellent value for money

Visited to get some pasties for tea for my family and visiting family. Staff attentive, polite and helpful. Always friendly and always our place to go for a tasty, quick and easy tea!

Had a lovely meal in the Talaton Inn on our last night. The welcome we received from the owner was so nice. The food was great too and the bonus was it was a few minutes walk from our holiday cottage. A must to visit if you are in the area.

Had the afternoon tea on Valentines day, The table was reserved in the conservatory as requested, the quantity and quality of the food served is superb, the waitress was friendly, and the china tea set they provide just finishes it off , for me it is not a proper afternoon tea without the china .I have paid a lot more for afternoon tea and got a lot less, both in quantity and quality, you have to pre order, but I guarantee you will not be dissapointed.

It’s a lot quieter now, fewer people, than when we were last here. Even a booth was available! £20 for 2 breakfasts and 2 filter coffees

Friendly greeting from the gentleman serving, a short pause to peruse the menu and order, food served promptly. Two different filling panini, both of us were happy. Cakes looked good but we managed to resist temptation. Would definitely go again

My wife and I both have Shepton connections but had never been to the cafe before. Having g recently retired, we called in for a toasty and a sandwich. The food selection is brilliant, prices really reasonable (no £8 sandwiches here), and the staff really friendly. Sadly, the cafe is up for sale but we really hope to get the chance to return before it closes or goes upmarket.

Absolutely fantastic pub and I do mean pub! There is a pool table, dart board, quiz nights, games of spoof at the bar, everything that has been lost from most other pubs in the country. The food served is simple pub grub, done well and pretty cheap. The Landlord is very welcoming and if you have any interest in vehicles, local history or wartime you will struggle to leave!

Whatever the various opinions about the previous restaurant were like that is history. The new Ivy House is superb. Friendly waiter service, quick ordering, good prices, lovely location, airy, light, spacious,good atmosphere etc. The opening hours are similar to the Groves nursery so dinner is not an option like most garden centre restaurants. Have been there MANY times since the opening and always enjoyed it

We had two toasties and coffees. Both were excellent and well priced. We sat on. Two stools in the window which is the only place inside.

I have previously had coffee here and while it has never been amazing, it is generally OK, though I always feel it is priced too high for the quality of coffee you get. However, today it was perhaps the worst cup of coffee I have tasted in over a decade. I am not sure why but maybe something that the barista and the management need to figure out. There are definitely better places for coffee in broadstone! Happy to guide you to these...

Been here for a week and feel like I’ve known everybody for years all staff have been absolutely brilliant service has been incredible food service is fantastic big thanks to Phill as he has welcomed us none local people with open arms with great enthusiasm and recommendations of places to be around the area himself and the team are a credit to the area and I strongly recommend coming in as you will feel very welcomed

Rang up today Thursday 15th August to book a table to eat for four of us next Thursday lunchtime to be told They don't serve food anymore...very very disappointed.website needs updating...

Awful! Feel like I've been robbed of £100! Family lunch for my birthday, had a long wait for the table then had to sit and wait for someone to attend to us for around 20 mins. All staff looked harassed. Coffee worse than average, food not tasty, could have made better at home! Service very poor and prices ridiculous for the standard of the whole experience. Avoid! Definitely don't go on your birthday, you'll be left disappointed!

We were recently in town visiting and found Georgia's service exceptionally courteous and professional. In fact, in the tearoom, everyone was delightful. Please pass on our thanks.
