The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Lovely friendly pub great staff the beers and wines were good quality. We all had a fantastic meal here. I had a lovely chicken and leek pie and I would certainly go back and have that again and I know the rest of the group felt the same with their food, the service was spot on looking forward to visiting again very soon highly recommended

This hotel is in a great setting with extensive gardens, ideal for wedding receptions. Our room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. The choice of food was good, not too big a menu that you can’t decide. Food was well cooked and presentable, the restaurant is a large conservatory where you can look out onto the gardens. Finally, the staff were always very attentive, helpful and friendly, ensuring all customers had a great experience. We would definitely return without hesitation.

Gemma and Cath are very good excellent service food is good I enjoy going to this pub especially the quiz. Thank you Caroline

Six of us went to lunch at the Swan’s Nest and all chose from the a la carte menu. Service for both drinks and the meal was very good and the food was enjoyed by all.

We chose to ignore the bad reviews and try it anyway. In a positive note, my son enjoyed his Full English breakfast. However, my veggie sausages were 'cremated' rendering them inedible and my eggs were burnt on the bottom. My husband's fried egg bap had cheese in it. Glad he's not dairy intolerant. I only enjoyed the bottled orange juice. Definitely a tourist trap because of where it is and people probably won't read reviews before going in. Young staff were pleasant enough but looked like they'd rather be somewhere else. £38 for 3 of us for breakfast, pretty awful really.

Myself and partner has booked a table for 6.30 pm and when we arrived we told by young lady behind the bar our table was in the window. We sat down and after about 10 mins nobody came to see what drinks we required. My partner ordered them at the bar 🍸 we then waited another 10 mins or so and I went to bar and ordered food it was only then that tge young lady said she was on her own for the night so food had to be ordered at the bar. Nothing had been said previously! The item we requested steak and jail pie was not available so I ordered lasagne which was quite nice but not a lot of meat but padded out with peppers. My partner ordered beefburger and it was cremated nobody came to ask how food was only when he went to pay it was disgusting. Very dissapointed 4/10 total

Popped in for breakfast as we were in the area visiting family. The morning staff and Manager were lovely and welcoming. The food was good, fresh and hot. Good value for money. Will definitely be visiting again.

Normally we enjoy visiting this quaint little cafe. Today, we had lunch and as usual the food was lovely. However, the service did not live up to recent expectations. Firstly one of our drinks was left off the order, no apology. The waitress simply stated that the order only said one drink, despite there being two meals ordered. We asked for another drink, which she duly brought over to the table, stating, 'You haven't paid for that.' Secondly, when the meals arrived, only part of that order arrived. The food was placed on the table, and the waitress left. After a few minutes, I tried to attract the waitress' attention. This was unsuccessful , so I went to the counter. I explained that our table was still waiting for part of it's order. There was still no apology. I was told they were a bit busy. I responded that an explanation would have helped and that there were now 'two strikes' and that they weren't doing too well, to which she snapped, 'It’s coming.' The chef then stepped in. This was a real shame as I previously stated the food was lovely.

Dropped in last night to be greeted by a super friendly bar man. The pizza’s are incredible and their delicious Sunday roasts are now back in the menu. With an unbeatable location and stellar service it’s our favourite spot.....

The countryman has done a complete turn around in over a year. It's fabulous. It's best to book. Especially for carvery on a Sunday.

We had. A lovely family meal today We had the roast platters for four people They were lovely and a excellent way to enjoy a roast chatting

We was a bit wary of coming here for the evening as the write ups were bad,arrived Friday night and the 3 young ladies behind the bar was a credit to the place,we booked in easy by one of the 2 sisters and enjoyed a lovely evening drinking,each girl knowing exactly what we ordered when going to the bar,next morning we ate breakfast and was served by a really happy chap who was asking the guests what they had planed for the day,and showed so much attention to what people said,I was shocked to find out he was the person people moaned about as being rude,you couldn’t be further from the truth,keep up the good work Barry and staff

Came for drinks, I got at least what I paid for 😉 very pleased with my evening, would definitely recommend

We held our staff Christmas party on Sunday 8th December including the Christmas Fayre dinner and an overnight stay. My room was warm, the bed extremely comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked with fluffy towels. Our meal was delicious and if there has to be a complaint it was that the portions were huge! There was a great selection at breakfast and again the full english beat most of us. All the staff were friendly and helpful and a credit to you. We will be returning again next year.

This hotel has always been a convenient choice for local business Xmas lunches and dinners. Although there is nothing to critisize about the food , I had a very unpleasant encounter at the front desk today . I just finished one Xmas lunch today and I am due to return for another Xmas party on this Saturday with my dance group , I forgot to book the Xmas set dinner for my husband who is disabled thinking that he might not want to join in. Last minute he said he would like a night out to have a bit of fun and company . So I asked the front desk lady if I could order food from the a la carte menu and he could sit with us and be served the food that he has chosen . I said I would pay for that dish today in advance . She said the food cost £23 but she wants the balance of the money ( the hotel charges for the set Xmas menu £37) to be paid too ! I said what , even without eating the Xmas dinner , and less the starter and dessert ? She said yes of course , because he would have the benefit of listening to the music !!!!! I was absolutely gobsmacked ! Wow , what a mean spirited place ! This is after our group of 40 just had lunch , and there will be another 40 -50 to come on Saturday! They have absolutely couldn’t see how money grabbing this attitude is ..! It of course doesn’t make business sense , as it means they would rather lose another customer’s business and create a horrible bad taste and bad will . The fact that they have loads of business this time of the year make them so mean spirited , complacent and arrogant ! Reverend Lyte who used to live there. He advocated humanity , warmth and community spirit and love . He wouldn’t have approved of this lack of human warmth , common sense and greed culture !
