The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Me encanta el ambiente, un gran servicio al cliente de una señora llamada Lindsey, tenía muy buena comida, no tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo, volverá.

Amazing food and super friendly service by Jamie (apologies if I misspelled your name) and the team! Calzones were fantastic, red wine was fab and the music was great. Nice one 👌

Small portions and expensive , the medium box is now the small box so you don’t get many chips , the piece of cod is very small and expensive , chips were not very nice hard inside not fluffy at all , the food didn’t taste very nice and it was greasy , we won’t be going there again .

I came here last Sunday (19th January 2025) with a large group of fellow runners. We all descended after our run at the same time and we are a fun loving, chatty and noisy lot. The staff were very welcoming and looked after us very well. It is a shame that the pub as we know it is changing. Thanks to the lovely bar staff that we met on Sunday and wish them all the best in the future.

My wife and I stopped by the Brean Down Inn for lunch with our dog while on holiday in Burnham-on-Sea last week. This is a wonderful establishment with outdoor seating and a large conservatory, in addition to the traditional pub interior. We received a very warm welcome here and initially chose to sit in the conservatory. This was one of the hottest days of the year so far, and it was quite hot. While obtaining the menu, the barmaid informed me that the entire pub was dog-friendly and that it would be fine for us to enter the cooler bar. This we did and we were soon thankful for that. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Shortly after we were seated, someone came over with some welcome treats for our young dog, which was a very kind gesture. The food arrived promptly and was both hot and delicious. The non-alcoholic drinks and food were also fairly priced. I have no problem recommending this establishment.

Great atmosphere, food was fabulous and thank you Nathan our food service guy who was very helpful. Been several times and love it!

Thankyou The Royal Oak . You were able to squeeze 7 of us in on Easter Sunday for lunch ! Which was very much appreciated .🙏 Roast s were lovely The pies as discussed in previous posts were also top marks A wonderful traditional British pub , let’s keep them going ! 💪 Dog friendly .

Wow what a pub! A proper pub! Rare find these days! Fab atmosphere, brilliant music, nice friendly locals! This is definitely the place to be! Best pub in town! Lovely young friendly guy behind the bar! Thank you! I work in the Blue Peter Polperro, very similar vibes 💙

Owner run, small and intimate restaurant with friendly and efficient service. Food is perfect cooked and beautifully presented. Seafood is a strong point on a short but varied menu. Scallops are particularly good as is the fresh hake. The banana souffle is expertly cooked and is well suited to the recommended Monnbazillac. Well priced wine list.

We have been coming to the Imperial two or three times a year for the last 5 years. Other than breakfast, we tend not to eat in the hotel as there are so many choices in town but we will have dinner at least once during our stay. The food is fine, well presented, but, sadly, nothing to get excited about. The only thing that really bugs me is that on every dinner menu over the last 5 years, they have shown Paxton & Whitfield cheeses but they have never got them. All they ever have is Cheddar and Brie, and presumably these have been sourced from a local supermarket. P&W are England’s premier cheesemongers and to offer a selection of their cheeses is like offering Dom Perignon champagne or a hamper from Fortnum & Mason. The range of cheeses they offer is little short of spectacular and to have a carefully chosen selection of their cheese on the menu is an enormous accolade for any restaurant but to advertise P&W cheeses and never have them can only be considered as a ruse to get people into the restaurant. It’s really very wrong. Imperial management – if you are going to advertise Paxton & Whitfield cheeses, please make sure you have them.

We had the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection. Amazing service and friendly staff, open fire, definitely recommend it.

Can't fault it. Good drinks served quick. Food was brill. Loved my food especially the chunky chips yum. We had salmon and spinach Wellington and chicken stack.

Busy Greene King pub right on the front. It was a sunny ‘Mothers Day’, crowds converged on Beer, the pub was packed. Our table was for 7:00pm, the staff remained friendly enough given a tough day and the food acceptable, plates dropped in front of you + no effort to open the wine. The pub itself is tired and overall the experience was average.

We had our AGM at the Commercial which was followed by a 3 course meal for 38 members, in the lovely bright conservatory. The meal was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend for holding a large gathering here. Some of our members stayed and were very happy with their rooms and delicious breakfast.

Ordered via Uber eats, £7.50 for some awful mushy chips with Burger cheese. How on earth you call this cheese & chips I don't know! Won't be ordering from this fish and chips again. Everything seemed old & greasy. Not fresh at all.
