The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Incredible pizzas! Possibly the best pizza I have ever eaten. Lots of vegan and omnivore options, great happy hour deal and super friendly service from Abbie (or Abby...I didn't check the spelling) highly recommended, will 100% be back for more pizzas, fries and drinks.

I was part of a large group who had a Sunday lunch. The meal consisted of two slices of pork and two slices of beef. I can’t speak for others but on my table of six, five left their meat. The consensus was that the pork was fatty and the beef was tough. The waitress was made aware of this when clearing the table but nothing was done.

Can’t fault the location but the quality of food and high prices don’t match!! Ordered a pizza which tasted of nothing- very doughy and looked straight out of a freezer than freshly made. Toppings were non existent. Drinks- OMG - £20 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and £7 for a pint of Korev!!!! Won’t be back!

Just had fish and chips and curry sauce. The fish was so greasy you could ring out the fat. Used all my tissues trying to soak up the grease from the soggy batter. Chips and curry sauce was nice but wouldn't buy the cod again

Popped in for a meal, spent £50. Two weeks later, a charge for £100 came through the post. Shocked and definitely will be boycotting this place.

A group of us had bottomless brunch for my friend's birthday and James and team couldn't have been better!! I've been to some places where Bottomless brunch is a bit stingy and the servers take ages between rounds, but this was the opposite!! They were absolutely on it and made sure we were always topped upand having a good time. Food was also great! We'll definitely come back

Jackie was spot on! Big thanks for making me old man’s birthday. Very friendly and top bit of scram and top value for money Raffle ticket no. 88

rubbish service nasty chicken which was swimming on’y plate chips were okay but that’s it. had an age limit in the kids menu and non optional service charge

This used to be a regular eating place for many Christchurch diners, but quality and service had gone way down hill during last summer and we just stopped going.... ...But thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of Lucy (Maitre' d) and her staff (some in training),...

We went to Greendales yesterday With a friend who needed a little cheering up and we very much enjoyed the experience We had sandwiches for lunch they were huge The bread was a little to thick But it was highly enjoyable And it came with salad and crisps The salad was fresh and it was good to have a salad that didn't look like it had seen better days And a good mix of salad leaves We wondered around the farm shop that has a lot of different things in and very fresh produce The animals area was a good stroll And coffee at the end of the afternoon finished the day off nicely The staff in the restaurant were really attentive and very good at what they do thank you very much

Although we’re locals the Vinny is also a perfect stopover on A35 being 200m from the Puddletown junction. Martin has transformed the pub recently and the interesting menu extremely good value. Young staff need time to learn their trade and service is now less hesitant- Sunday lunchtime and live music make for busy sessions at most pubs so some may choose to go then, or conversely choose to avoid. I’d highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. Altogether a bit quirky, but all the more special for that reason. Enjoy it for what it is.

Lovely food,had seafood tagliatelle on specials and it was beautifully cooked and so fresh,the lasagna was also very good. Staff couldn’t have been better,attentive without intruding. Will definitely return.

Starters were good. However, 4 mains arrived leaving two waiting. After a short time then the two told us to carry on. The server approached & asked what were they waiting for (not a good sign!) she was told two steak & ale pies. She went away & then came back to say that they had somehow been missed & they would be cooked as a matter of priority. We carried on eating ours & my son said that the ordered belly pork, wasn't belly pork, was more like a chop & dry. He did tell the server & she said she'd tell the kitchen. That was the last we heard. The four of us had finished our mains before the two pies arrived. Five if us decided to have a dessert. Two of us were quite excited to see baked Alaska on the menu, it had been years since we'd had it. Well it wasn't baked Alaska at all! I did tell the server but didn't really get a response. It was like shop bought meringue nest topped with ice-cream & sauce, topped with another dome of hard meringue. No sponge in sight & no soft meringue, what a huge disappointment. I went to pay, I was treating my family, mentioned again about the dessert not being as on the menu & my son also mentioned about his pork not being belly pork & dry. Nothing more was said, not even saying she'd take off the desserts. I payed & left. We'd been before, a while ago & enjoyed our meals but I certainly wouldn't rush back & neither would my son & his family.

Visited the Jetty Restaurant at the Harbour Hotel and ended up coming back two nights in a row. Food was excellent but the service from James and Alex was especially brilliant. Engaging, well informed, professional - made it a very enjoyable and entertaining evening. Can highly recommend.

Ven aquí regularmente con mi amigo para una puesta al día y a veces el concurso de pub del domingo. Esta vez fue un sábado tranquilo por la noche y pedí un vodka de lima fresca y refresco y (mención especial alerta) Coco hizo un trabajo de cracking! Gran bebida y servicio con una sonrisa. Joe... ¡estás arriba!
