The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Our food was very good but not as good as other pubs we’ve been in so that is the reason for the 4 rather than a 5. Otherwise it was a great experience. Owners were very personable.

I ordered a 70th birthday ‘golf’ cake for my husband’s 70th birthday. He was absolutely thrilled with it and it tasted delicious. Got lots of positive comments. Thank you Alison.

Stayed for two nights last week. Stayed in the ground floor room designed fo accommodate the less abled. Having back and leg problems I found the bed sadly uncomfortable. I would strongly recommend a mattress with more support. I had difficulty getting off of the bed. The door into the room was sticking at bottom half of the jamb and the pocket sliding door was jamming on the lining making it noisy to open. Generally the room was o.k. otherwise. The hotel is ideally placed with a good sized car park. Excellent breakfast.

We stopped for an ice cream while on the search for our car keys which we lost on the beach!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ The rum and raisin ice cream was AMAZING and no complaints from the kids and hubby with their choices! The lovely gent who served us got his wife Zara to help us with locating the keys which luckily where found and left at the RLNI across but was closed, she managed to find someone who got the keys So thank you so much for your help lovely people and for the ice creams! 🥰 wishing you all the best x

Great sensible down to earth menu. I love the humour of staff. They call me Mr Number 2 because I order number 2 breakast. :)

I don't consider myself an expert, but I've had my share of pasties over the years and I thought the one I tried from here was among the best I've had.

Stopped by this fudge shop and was blown away. The variety of flavours is amazing. We picked vanilla and salted caramel. It was creamy and melted in my mouth. Definitely a must visit for any sweet tooth.

2nd time we have been back to J K's bistro and it did not disappoint, relaxed atmosphere, the gentleman that served us could not do enough for us and we were a bit picky Great varied menu with different things on you do not see in other places around, prices reasonable., friendly staff. Will be back !

I've visited The Castle a number of times over 10 years and really enjoyed the food and drink here. But my last visit - with the hotel having been sold to St Austell brewery - has led me to leave this review. The menu has been drastically slashed to very basic options. Where once a variety of fish dishes and others were available, now it's just fish and chips, burger and little else. Extremely limited now for lunch too. It's gone from "very nice" to "fine". A good restaurant to standard pub grub. A great shame because the beer is decent and the bar very cosy and welcoming.

On the route of the bus tour. Loved the sandwich, new creation, Emmentaler cheese, and a ‘fancy’ ham. I loved it. Great cappuccino. Lovely bakery and a must-visit when you are in Poole.

This restaurant used to combine a charming, historic setting with a wide menu of hearty food (the cauliflower cheese was world class) but now the bill of fare is on a par with an average roadside café: Pasties,beans on toast, jacket potatoes etc. The staff are as friendly as before, but the magic has gone.

I will start by saying the restaurant did reduce our bill and throw in a few free extras but we were very surprised by the quality and portioning of the food. At the time the cafe was very quiet but the staff seemed a little bit chaotic. Orders not being put through properly, items missed off and not knowing what beer they had available. A couple of us ordered the chicken burger (£13) and my son had the kids version (£8.50) but his came with chips. I was pretty shocked when we both received exactly the same sized portion. A small bun, 1/2 a small chicken fillet and one piece of lettuce, not exactly worth £13. The staff did even comment that they there was an issue but still felt it was fine to serve and just expect people to pay. The pizzas were but ok but again surprised when we we charged £3 for 2-3 sliced olives as an extra. We've eaten at many other places up and down the coast and based on our experience we would not return.

Staff are lovely, the room was very spacious and clean, but . . . . The food was very mediocre. The Veg was very overcooked, very basic cookery, nothing outstanding, if I cane again it would be for the lovely staff, definitely not the food, we turned breakfast down even though it was paid for.

Great find in Moretonhampstead, family run cafe. Perfect omelette with fries and side salad. Friendly service with a smile.

Carvery was not good I ordered a nut roast when I went to get it the chap serving the meat was so rude said I haven't got one did you order it I said yes with the waitress 15 mins before he said well you will have to wait the potatoes were that hard you couldn't cut into them (needed a chainsaw )The sprouts were hard so was the broccoli overall very dissapointing and definitely NOT WORTH THE MONEY 😡😡😡🤮
