The best restaurants serving British food in South West

We are on holiday and fancied some chips we had scampi and chips and pie and chips and the chips were disgusting they were over cooked and tasted like they had been cooked an hour ago nearly twenty pounds wasted it all went straight in the bin 🤮

Lovely menu and great food and wine. This was my third visit, I try and go each time I’m in Cheltenham. Disappointingly the service was really slow this time. It wouldn’t put me off going back though

Took 30 minutes to get our first drink and about 45 minutes to get our food order, food was basic at best and my pizza was dry and just had pepperoni on it, very basic and not very nice. Finished food and they left our plates on the table for one hour, waited for 2nd round of drinks for over 45 minutes, at which point we asked for the bill due to the delay. The staff had a no care attitude, we’re totally disorganised and completely chaotic. When you come for a meal whilst being on holiday you expect professional standards and a restaurant to want their customers to have a nice time, neither applies in this case. Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in many years - avoid at all costs!!

Read a lot of negative reviews about this place. It has changed, but in terms of a fish and chip shop it ticks all boxes. One size fish, One size chips is obviously their way of simplifying the menu. Fish was decent with crispy batter, nice chips. Good value also.

I live locally-ish. Tortworth has options for different occasions and I love that. I really should go more often. Last night was dinner with an ex colleague. We’re foodies and want to enjoy what we are eating whilst we gossip. We arrived early, straight from work and first to be seated. We had a perfect window seat looking over the garden and those enjoying their summer drinks in the sun. Joseph/Joe was our server, who was young, helpful and very sweet. Attentive but not overbearing. Great recommendations and insights on what other guests thought of options. Pink Prosecco to celebrate a new job with some olives and artisan bread. Yum! I think my friend had pan fried cod on risotto but I can’t be too sure because I was lost in my grilled halloumi on giant couscous! Really hearty and light at the same time. We had a classic tiramisu but it was dressed with little biscotti, tiny pieces of meringue and fruit, that made it just a little bit different. Nice touch. We finished off in the bar next door with Paloma and a Mojito. Perfect evening, thanks Tortworth! Ps my condolences for Lady Grey she will be missed.

Food was not bad, service on the other hand a little poor. Staff were a bit clueless, no customer service skills. Alight sitting outside, wouldn’t sit inside.

my persnal favorite was the rasberry bubble frappe it was delicious i also went for brunch and the food was lovely but the only thing that lets them down is the floor i didnt want to touch the floor

Amazing good and great staff. The service was excellent, the staff were all very accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Desafortunadamente, han convertido lo que solía ser un espacio encantador en algo realmente hortera e insípido con manteles de plástico y una decoración en general realmente horrible. ¡También estaba CONGELANDO! De ninguna manera podrías sentarte sin un abrigo.

Random stop at this cafe - amazing Cornish pasty’s (And we’ve tried a few in the last 2 weeks lol) - decided to go full on and followed up with their cream tea, it didn’t disappoint with a huge portion of jam and cream. Highly Recommended.

Dreadful. Risotto was a bowl of stock with a few spoons of cooked long grain rice and some chopped veg. Not a risotto. Beetroot salad was a basic green salad with a load of sliced beetroot from a jar on the top. Worst meal out in ages.

Met at dinning room personally to explain food arrangement & seating. Wide variety from Fresh Fruit Salad, to Full breakfast. I enjoyed the fresh fruit & juice. The full breakfast was all cooked fresh & kept covered, not over cooked or dry, Decent bacon slices & sausages cooked just right. & fried eggs had soft yolks. Soft pastries & endless coffee, with quick cereral fix if required. Staff considerate of seating arrangements, fresh air, opening windows to keep heat down. The food is not my main attraction to The Grand - its location, spacious rooms, including bar & dinning area & views are.

I Had a family evening with cocktails to start,unfortunately they had not a clue how to serve or make these,by a friendly young girl,the food was the worst i have had for a long time,and although i told the elderly lady she seemed to listen but shrug it off with no effect,totally overpriced for what we had ,very small meals,missing the main ingredient FOOD.I hope they can improve and get a barman in to make the cocktails,they need to be shaken,not just pored!!

Always come back to pier one when we are in looe ! Lovely coffee and really friendly service. Especially from the lady who has the cavapoo! (Sorry didn’t get your name) Really dog friendly. Waters bowls and dog treats!

Visited for a late lunch. The place was filthy, had to clear my own table and many nearby remained uncleared the whole time I was there. There were 2 lads apparantly clearing but they appeared to be working in slow motion. The "omlette" was a disc of cooked egg in a bun with a few leaves. It tasted of nothing at all except for a curiously sweet jam which was under it. Certainly completely free of cheese. Quite nasty. Won't be back
