The best restaurants serving British food in South West

BEST CARBONARA EVER! Visited with hubby today, ordered the carbonara and fish and chips. The fish was lovely and crispy with a batter that was not too thick or too thin, just right! And then the star of the show, the carbonara! Lovely Smokey, cheesy and peppery bowl of goodness! With a couple of slices of garlic bread to mop the bowl up with! Thank you cobweb for a lovely meal and setting for a lovely sunny Wednesday morning in April!

Generally go when Sharon is working.She is exceptional in coping when busy.allways keeps you informed what's going on, you know you have not been forgotten.yesterdaywas typical of that.she always remembers us,and makes our visit more than just the meal.which by the way is always superb.best pub experience 👍

I have never been to a place which such a mix of reviews, but the gamble was worth it I think!!! Yes its small (half the charm if you ask me!) and it only has 5 (i think) big bench tables. Yes its not cheap but its FRESH fish, cooked right in front of you. The waitress was friendly, polite, and approachable. No-one minded our huge hairy dog, the food was amazing (scallops a particular highlight) and I was met with a free glass of prosecco for Mothers Day. Its a very cool little beach shack, with great atmosphere and great food. Book in advance! We loved it....thank you Beach House for a very memorable Mothers Day lunch! I did notice there was a VERY large queue for takeaway coffee etc outside which i can imagine is frustrating but as there is no where else serving coffee on a popular beach, i guess you have to expect a queue!

Fabulous food (thank you chef Bramdon) and great service (thank you Evie). Would definitely recommend for a family celebration.

Went for some food with some coworkers and had the most underwhelming meal of my life. The team failed to inform us the minor wait would equate to hours of my life waiting for some chips to cook. No check backs, no good will gestures and quite honestly nobody with an ounce of customer service or drive working on shift.

Wanted to be near Exeter Quay and decided to go to Harvester as large car park for late lunch. Three or four people at tables in bar area and it looked like perhaps 1 or 2 tables occupied in dining area. We waited where it says wait to be served, no one. Went to bar. Could hear and see staff working as they were hovering around the door behind the bar and there was an obvious moment of panic when we nearly caught someone’s eye and they quickly jumped back into the back room so they definitely knew we were there but still absolutely no one came to help us. Felt almost like they were hiding until we gave up. After about ten minutes we realised there was absolutely no chance of any service, walked out and found somewhere else to spend our money. Thoroughly unimpressed.

I had booked because of the reviews but left disappointed, this was a family birthday celebration mid week. The garlic buttered prawn was missing the garlic butter then came out of the packet and put on a dish with some cooked tomatoes. The lasagna was a brown mess with no flavour. The sea bass risotto was stodgy rice with no flavour, certainly not how a risotto is cooked. The sea bass and scallop was cooked lovely the rice just let it down. The staff were polite but we weren't looked after we didn't get asked once how was our meal otherwise we would have raised all these points. Wouldn't recommend. Won't be going back.

Great local pub in Mousehole. Very good meal and service. Would recommend to go for sure. Food not normal pub food but excellent.

Awfully run pub. Half the bar in use, forcing people to queue 3 deep and block the only walkway. Food came late and was cold and dry, so obviously sat waiting for someone to bring it from the kitchen. Things are done and organised to suit staff/management and not the customer. They make our experience poorer to make their lives easier. Not a good experience. Some team members were excellent, some were just down right rude and grumpy.

We popped in here for a meal on the way home from a weekend at Ruda Holiday Park. The menu and so much choice but after walking past the carvery we had have that and it didn’t disappoint. One of the best carveries I have ever had and I am really fussy with them. Gorgeous beer garden with a little park for the kids as well. Will definitely return when we are back in the area, need to try the normal menu and abundance of specials!

Set lunch. Really good standard of food. £18.95 for 2 courses, so cheaper than you would pay in a chain pub! Combined with decent service and made for a really pleasant surprise.

Yummy food which was served quickly but even better service from our server Eniko. They were very busy but she made sure we were served efficiently and made sure we had everything we needed.

We don't know about all the other reviews but we have just had the most amazing burger called wheelhouse stack and crispy Hoffman chips for lunch with fresh salad and homemade coleslaw. It was absolutely gorgeous the burger was perfectly cooked the owner was a wonderful friendly lady and the atmosphere was relaxed. Even when my husband dropped his ring down the sink they helped him get it out. Would 100% recommend here and revisting on our next trip to Mevagissey.

We once again paid a visit during our recent trip to Combe Martin and once again we were not disappointed. Very friendly staff, excellent food, especially the Pack of Cards burger, with reasonable prices and huge portions. Our youngest son could not wait to finish his dinner so he could go back onto the playground. Another excellent and happy experience at the Pack of Cards.

Always a lovely experience here no matter what whether we come here for breakfast, lunch or dinner, staff are always friendly and the food is always delicious.
