The best restaurants serving British food in South West

This was the destination pub an upmarket eaterie .Before COVID we used to go 2-3 times a month. Food was classic but inventive and staff were experienced and knowledgeable. Over the last few years we’ve been a couple of times and have been disappointed with the food. We tried it again for Valentines Night and will never go again. The menu was so boring. The food was overpriced inadequate and under seasoned . The Talbot must be one of the loveliest pubs in the South West of England it’s such a shame. Decidedly gone downmarket.

GBK solía ser mi lugar favorito para comer fuera, desde que lo probé por primera vez hace tal vez 12 años. Y he venido desde entonces. Estaba tan decepcionado cuando lo visité. No por los tiempos de espera ni por el personal. Ambos fueron excelentes. Sin embargo, la comida ha cambiado mucho. Y no he comido en GBK solo por unos meses. Han sacado a rocketman del menú (para disgusto de mis novios) y los batidos de chocolate saben fatal! Todo con jarabe horrible y no como solían ser en absoluto. Las porciones también son mucho más pequeñas, incluidas las papas fritas. Realmente molesto porque solía ser mi ir todo el tiempo: (

Estaba bien esta vez, el personal era lo suficientemente amable, pero no tan atractivo como lo fueron la última vez hace un par de años. Tal vez nuevos entrantes. Estándar de alimentos Wetherspoon fayre. NO hay ofertas especiales esta vez tampoco. Tampoco estaba tan ocupado así que encontrar una mesa era fácil.

We went for a family dinner . When we arrived we were seated downstairs and it was less than half full. We joined the queue to order our drinks and food as it’s not table service. One person behind the bar doing this and quite a lengthy queue. Order was placed with the member of staff who was very pleasant . It was a very warm day and there was no windows or doors open also no air conditioning on . There was dance music on very loud which made it very difficult to hear when we were talking . Food arrived and was lovely . We waited for over 30 mins after we had eaten and I had to ask for our table to be cleared as we wanted to order desserts. Again we joined the queue to order. We waited for a long time and in the end I had to ask if they could chase the desserts up . Overall food was good but the place was greatly understaffed on a sunny Saturday even when it wasn’t more than half full. I felt sorry for the staff as it was obvious they were under a lot of pressure to keep things running however it definitely reflected the service aspect and it would make me hesitant to return .

What a confused mess is Eden's catering! Inside, where the proper cafe used to be, are now two 'outlets' - one doing a pizza-like offering (read 'disc of dough with green oil extra' c£10.00 and other odd items, the other is for wraps, sausage rolls, pasties. But, no. when you've waited in that queue for the proper pasty, you find that this is just a coffee and cake counter - and the pasties etc are at another counter, in the outside area. All three also do the hot drinks - so whatever your costly choice, you'll be waiting in a long queue while a couple of harassed staff cope with the designer coffees which seemed to take about 5mins each to make. In the last few years, everything at Eden has got a bit more shabby, rundown, undermanaged, and in a very sad way, a bit pointless (esp. anything NOT in the biomes). The biggest buzz visitors seem to get now comes from the high viewing platform, the zip wire, the music events - which leaves you wondering for the future of the poor plants...

We ordered the BLT for £5.95, but they'd run out, because it was a lovely day and they'd been busy. The server didn't tell us this and just changed our order to the Classic BLT on Ciabatta for £7.95, without informing us! When the Ciabatta BLT, for an extra £2, turned up... it was three anorexic bits of back bacon in a roll! Massively disappointing and equally ripped off!

Got id’d as soon as we came in at 4pm. Even though we weren’t going to drink they then I’d’d again when I bought a drink and then was asked my address and glared at by the old lady staff just because we’re emos

Stopped here for Sunday dinner and then a Monday evening meal, both were amazing, sunday dinner, meat, gravy, veg, absolutely lovely, 1 thing I would have liked more cabbage with the veg, apart from that, knock out. Mo day evening meal, we had 2 meals off the classics, scampi and bangers and mash, partner loved the scampi with the tartar sauce and chips, bangers and mash, the banger were.....banging, the mash, lovely and creamy and the gravy was so nice, a definite stop when we are this way again and would travel here for Sunday dinner alone

Stayed in the hotel for 1 night. Was supposed to be breakfast included but it was all locked up downstairs. When I arrived I had to call the mobile on the door. A man came with a key, didn't ask my name?. The room was dark and dirty. Ill be letting my company not to book here again.

Everyone was really helpful and friendly and the food was presented beautifully, but oh was it salty! So sorry, we just couldn't eat it (and honestly, we never leave food!) It wasn't just the one dish, it was everything except the salad and chips.

Thursday is steak night and we had rump steak with all the trimmings for two with a bottle of wine for £40! Delicious - what’s not to like! Very friendly and welcoming staff too.

Very nice hotel. Clean and comfortable, the lad on reception is very helpful and friendly. Exceptional value for money which is rare these days. Just a shame the Tipple Bar and the food van wasn't open.

Have had a lovely tea at the wagon and Horses today early evening, staff really friendly and helpful, service was fast with hot tasty food. Thank you.

Avoid this place. Food isn’t good quality, probably re-heated. Tasteless, the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever visited

Disappointing experience – not what you’d expect for a special occasion
