The best restaurants serving British food in South West

All though the food was plentiful and tasted good, it was actually tepid/cold in places. This was more than likely to two factors firstly the time we arrived which was 1:45 pm and the second the place the food was displayed opposite the entrance so every time the door was opened there was a cold draught. For value for money your choices were great and plentiful, the staff pleasant and polite.

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

Staying at Harbour Hotel booked evening meal we had the crusty bread and olive oil as a starter it was lovely bread was hot and tasted divine , main courses fish and chips with crushed peas the fish was so big it was over the edge of the plate both sides , batter was light and fish flaky , for dessert we had the ice cream which was delicious . Service was relaxed but professional so overall a great meal well done all.👌

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.

Came across this pub on our way to Weymouth and was delighted by the fantastic reception that we received from the manageress. She was extremely welcoming to both us and our dog and showed such enthusiasm that we were blown away. As it was a cold day we ordered bangers and mash which hit the spot. Nothing fancy but just good plain food. Also looks a good place for Motorhome / camper stopovers. Would certainly return if in the area.

After a friendly reception by both staff and locals we were able to enjoy the best Sunday lunch we have had for a while and, maybe, ever had. Well cooked, plentiful and good value are all you can ask for and both of our meals provided all of these criteria. We were in Corfe for a weeks holiday and called in for a cheeky pint on the way home most evenings. Drinks to suit everyone's taste, but for me the Palmer 200 was the winner. Breakfast before we began our journey home was also good value and set us up for the day. Overall, give them a visit as we are sure you will not be disappointed.

Gorgeous outdoor seating area with separate bar! Excellent selection of beers, ciders, real ales and spirits. Super dog friendly, every single member of staff made such a fuss of my dog! Cask ales are kept beautifully! Have eaten here several times and the food has always been fantastic. Steak night on a Wednesday is awesome, you have to try the Tomahawk! Had the moules-frites today which were delicious! Well worth a visit if you happen to be in Dartmouth!

Stayed 2 nights on our way back from Cornwall. Room was good. Food was reasonable, but a bit corporate. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The best bit was the fortnightly quiz which we were lucky to join in with.

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.

Randomly drove round some villages to look for somewhere to eat, and boy did we get lucky with The Angel Inn! Was easy to park. Welcoming staff, lovely food, warm and comfortable. Staff did not rush us through the meal. Food was well presented, prepared to a high standard and of a large portion size.

Went to the sloop on Saturday evening the service was rubbish one meal was wrong when brought out the waiter was rude and said I suppose we can change it but your have to wait there was no onions or peppers with the mix it up steak and the steak was fatty

We visited a couple of years ago and had the best burger we had ever eaten so when we arrived yesterday it was with intrepidation as we thought it would not be as good again. Menus change, as do staff, but we were so happy that it was as good as we remembered. The chips are so unusual but so delicious too. Huge thank you to all the staff.

Love our local spoons! However they can’t seem to get the food to the table hot! We have tried asking the bar staff to ask the kitchen why we can’t have hot food, they have even put it on a foot note to the kitchen on the order! We have even tried sitting closer to the kitchen, but to no avail! We have noticed people bring their own lap tops in an plug them in! I wonder if we can bring our own air fryer in or our microwave? We have just been to the spoons in Penzance and they can manage a hot meal, why can’t you? 🤔

The dog friendly area was a covered but open on one side. It was cold and felt damp no heaters or blankets provided like other dog friendly outside businesses that do not let dogs in. Dogs could be allowed in the conservatory area.

We dropped in for a couple of drinks before dining at The Taj in Bridport. Family have stayed here when visiting and we’d dined on the odd occasion. Aware The Bull is a Fullers Establishment we were looking forward to a pint of London Pride. What we were served was shocking; flat, cold and slightly sour. Lifeless! My friend left half of his. While we should have complained the beer should not have been served. We like London Pride and have enjoyed it at many venues. Shame on Fullers for serving these poor pints.
