The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Holidaying in area and found this little gem! Great food and great beers. Nice little garden to sit in. Would recommend

Great Pub ! Holidaying in Combe Martin , we caught the bus for a delightful journey to Ilfracombe ( amazing shops on High St , found all our essentials - my Wife had shrunk my sun hat - could only find a suitable replacement in one of the shops in Ilfracombe !) Enjoyed lovely walks on promenade & Harbour. To cap it all , we found the George & Dragon . Staff exceptionally friendly & welcoming. We just had a snack of lovely garlic bread & I enjoyed pints of the gorgeous Exmoor Gold , until Wifey shunted me out. Wonderful pub with nice vibes. Can`t wait for next holiday visit.

We ate here as a very large group with family and friends. The staff were really attentive and went above and beyond. The food was delicious, my mum ordered scampi but unfortunately there was an issue with the fryer, she was offered something else, she chose a steak and wasn't expected the pay the difference. Will definitely return. Thank you for a memorable evening.

The food and service in this restaurant is so good that we ate there 3 times during our week’s holiday. The menu is varied and we enjoyed every course we tried. Most impressive though was the service. I have to give a special shout out to Eddie who twice managed to sort out tables at short notice (our party was complicated by including a dog, a wheelchair, and being 7 people) and clearly made the extra effort to accommodate us, even by phoning us back after we’d originally been told there was nothing suitable for us at Sunday lunch. That level of extra effort and professionalism is priceless and we shall definitely be returning on our next visit.

WE have lived "up the road" for 7 years and this is the first time we have been, but not again. Although the fish and chip meal deal was tasty and good value our wives were disappointed with their lemon sole which was catch of the day and should therefore have been outstanding. It should have been advised that it was a whole fish and not filleted and they were left with a pile of bones and hardly any actual fish to eat. The staff never asked if the meal was to our satisfaction, just cleared the plates away. The room was very cold and draughty. Sorry to say we will not visit again.

A really nice baby and dog friendly bistro pub. Came in for a quick drink and a sandwich and found out it was only Sunday lunch menu, which we did not fancy. The manager quickly had a word with the chef and offered us a lovely selection of sandwiches with a side of roast potatoes which were stunning, can’t fault the amazing service! The newly refurbed garden is very pretty and a sun trap!

Not a great atmosphere, tired looking, staff friendly, food basic

Not impressed. Poor options, small portions and heavy price. Used this place a lot with the old owners. Less inclined to now unless they improve.

This is the best place in minehead for a good quality pint👍 The pint says its self

Lovely pub not your usual ales and the roast dinner was great too. Chef knows what he's doing and the vegetables where standout. Thanks very much from me and my partner.

I have both stayed and Eaten at the Driftwood Spars many times so didnt hesitate to book again for a family get together for a birthdy. I was extremley dissappointed with the food. It was expensive for what it was. a couple of us had scallops as a starter which was such a tiny portion it was ridiculous. For a main I had Monkfish which was a " special" and again a tiny portion, at £50.00 a head for 2 courses it was not value for money. Such a shame as Ive had fabulous food there before, but will think again before booking

Great place,beautiful views. Food is amazing and not overpriced. Staff are all so kind and friendly

We had a nice breakfast, large seating areas, would come again if in the area.

Great traditional pub, food was lovely. Fresh and excellent quality. Lots of parking.

Brunswick is your classic local and students pub. Being in the heart of where most BU students live, it has a great atmosphere! There are TVs all around the pub so watching sports is great and they even have a big hall where they run the quiz night and other events such as northern soul! There is always a great atmosphere, students can benefit from a discount and the food is what you’d expect from a Greene King. Bar staff are friendly and it’s always an enjoyable time. Not the best beer garden for sun - Richmond is better for that but otherwise it’s great!
