The best restaurants serving British food in South West

A really nice pub with good music and good vibes. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, Kat was super attentive and made sure we were well looked after. We will definitely visit again.

I so wanted to give it a 5 but charging a 10% service charge in advance is just taking the Mick. An extra 10 % for a pint poured in the bar, outrageous. I paid more for my beer as a punishment for eating there whereas if I’d just bought a beer and gone away I would been charged the proper amount. However The food was fabulous, the staff were attentive and helpful. I’ll go back again but will order drinks separately at the bar. I’d like to choose if when and how much I’d like to give as a tip. They let themselves down badly with the service charge policy which is a shame as everything else was exceptional.

All the cakes are frozen. Atmosphere is terrible. Think office canteen. Staff are rude. The whole place is expensive and terrible quality.

Stopped in here and had an omelette & chips, great price and very filling my dad had a small breakfast & pot of tea which was just enough for him would highly recommended

Fantastic Christmas lunch booked at short notice due to being let down elsewhere! Probably quite fortuitous switch as meal, ambience and waiter Cosmo were all absolutely excellent. There was a small issue with the bill as didn't initially charge set Christmas menu price which is what we'd booked, apparently doesn't apply on a Saturday!?! Soon rectified when we explained that noone had told us this and it didn't appear on the pricing on the menu previously or on placing our booking/pre order. Thank you Bishopstrow (and Cosmo) for an excellent, relaxed, festive lunch. Ps the Hawkes Bay Rose by the glass was delicious 🍾💗

We were lucky enough to have pre lunch drinks on the terrace in brilliant sunshine. On a Sunday there is a choice of four dishes for each course. That is plenty of choice and mqkes life easier. The food was very good and a serviceable wine list. The staff are very helpful and efficient.

Yet again, we had an enjoyable lunchtime visit to The Globe. The owners, who were once farmers in Bishops Lydeard have turned this pub into a very welcoming venue for both food and drinks. There are several rooms to choose from for meals and the bar is a snug area for sampling the various ales, ciders and lagers on offer. Whlie the pub has its address as Wellington, it is well tucked away in the depths of Somerset in the hamlet of Appley. A strong suggestion to new patrons: enter the postcode in your satnav: TA21 0HJ

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

Walked in and was greeted but then overheard owner being disrespectful to staff (and threatening to fire staff) when I was walking to the toilet. Worst holiday

Restricted to outside only due to having a dog, whereas previously the conservatory area was accessible. Tiny space and therefore waited forever with very unhelpful staff Hopefully the policy will be amended this year to be more dog friendly

Slow service, table service only so you cannot go to the bar (it’s Swindon not Vegas!), no Dj anymore, no vibe or atmosphere, and honestly for a cocktail bar I had literally the worst espresso martini ever made! Couldn’t be more disappointed. If I was the owner I’d be embarrassed, this place used to be absolutely rocking, full of vibe and always a guaranteed good time. Bring back the old Longs!

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 🤮

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.
