The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Had a wonderful evening in the Waterfront Restaurant last night. The Tapas was delicious and had very large servings; the Weston and chicken burgers were both huge and delicious too. The food service was fast and the waiter, Christian, was friendly and helpful. The location was right on the seafront so the views were great! I will definitely be eating there again :)

A very welcoming team and environment in the heart of Evershot. Great service and very delicious and beautifully presented food.

Lovely fish and chips. Very clean shop and friendly staff- recommend 🙂

Excellent lunch. The menu is very much improved and we enjoyed the chicken wings with new potatoes. Other choices which would suit us too. Mayonnaise delicious and attention to detail. Look forward to eating here again.

Ordered expecting hot food. It came cold enough that I expect they got it out a fridge.

Such a welcoming visit into a proper pub. Locals, workers finishing after a shift and tourists like us staying at Forest Holidays. The footpath network is extensive and worth printing a map and not just relying on your phone but this is linked to Forest Holidays by a reasonably well lit footpath and has two local stores that don’t show up on Google maps on the way. We picked this pub based on reviews and the footpath as we have two kids and a dog. Staff were really welcoming and helpful, kid friendly and definitely dog friendly. As a result of the good food, good service and choice of seating options we opted for a return visit instead of trying the Dog and Muffler or the New Inn. If we make it out another night to one of those I will write a review accordingly.

Great coffee shop and the view is amazing!

Lovely friendly pub, staff are always helpful and welcoming, the food is good and they offer a range of entertainment over the weekend and regular quiz nights etc during the week.

Visited for our daughter’s birthday meal with the whole family. Food was incredible, could tell it was homemade with a lot of love and care put in. Service was also very good. I wish I’d got the name of the gent behind the bar as he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Well deffo be coming back! Had a fantastic evening.

I was meeting up with my Daughter for a lunch out and as she lives in Fairford, I suggested that we go a short distance up the road to the neighbouring village of Quenington and go The Keepers Arms, which to be fair, we'd only been to for a drink, so the thought of eating there was a great opportunity to see what it was like. The whole pub is well laid out, nicely decorated and furnished to present a warm, welcoming and cosy space to relax and enjoy your visit. It's a family owned Freehouse with rooms and they've achieved some nice accolades over their 17 year ownership, including awards from CAMRA and a winner of the hit Channel 4 series, Four in a Bed. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and they have a good selection of beers, wine and spirits. The food is absolutely delicious. Nothing fancy, just good, honest, well cooked dishes, that are sensibly priced.I'm so pleased we went there and we will definitely be back again, so I can heartily recommend you pay them a visit. They are dog friendly too.

We have had a previous bad experience of this place once before (about 2 years ago to which I left a negative review at the time). Hoping that things might of improved we chanced it for a snack and drink. Well all I can say nothing has improved! Poor selection of food, cakes etc with high prices to match. The staff (mostly young) are left to their own devices and are slow/unsure. We waited 15 minutes after ordering at the till for our hot drinks to arrive where we were sitting. When they finally arrived the cappuccino was vile and the tea was no better - tasteless and stewed! We left the majority of both which was undrinkable! Table 6 (where we were sitting) needed clearing and a good wet cloth round it. The place could do with some updating/refurbishment. Sorry Wells Cathedral but if you are looking for people to pay a £14 entrance fee in to the cathedral, you certainly need to up your game on the other facilities such as the cafe, toilets (downstairs which are small and smelly and a better selection of merchandise in the gift shop (maybe you should go and see what Worcester and Salisbury cathedrals provide).

Fantastic hosts and gorgeous room, great stay. We visited for a friends birthday party, they had hired the entire pub for the Saturday night so it was closed to the public. We had hired a bedroom for the night and from the time of arrival till we left we were made to feel so welcome. The room, room 4, was gorgeous, so tastefully decorated and had all you needed. We had a great night, the bar staff were amazing, they didn't stop all night, they had a smile on their faces all night and were so friendly. Would hightly recommend this place. Nicky goes out of her way to accomodate everyone with a constant smile on her face. First class Nicky. Xx

We chose the White Lion for an Easter meal out, on a Saturday evening. We were warmly welcomed by the landlady and given time to choose from the a la carte menu and specials, before deciding on complementary drinks. The food was prepared fresh, and served promptly. The landlady, Kerry, made a point if checking with us that the food was satisfactory. It certainly was. £49 for 2 x two course meals and three alcoholic drinks. Good value for money, in a welcoming village pub.

This used to be the best fish and chip shop in Weymouth, but now since the people next door took over from the Chinese takeaway it's now definitely the worst. They use the same batter that you'd get on chicken balls which is a bit weird on the fish and sausages. Such a shame as it was our go to place for years.

We were warm and comfortable on a cold day in December. The food was just amazing: I had belly pork with chive mash. Nice atmosphere and staff made us welcome.
