The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Friendly and warm greeting. Coffee was good. Inviting menus. Breakfasts looked good. Attention to detail required. Dirty tables first thing on a Monday morning and shelving!!

Went for tea and coffee and served by lovely young lady called Anna who looked after us well and was so polite ansld welcoming

Avoid. Chips were stone cold and the cod was awful and grey and half the size it should be. It was long and very thin like it had been cut in half prior to preparing. Absolutely inedible and very overpriced even if it was edible. Had instant noodles instead and the takeaway went in the bin.

Went into the hut to have breakfast but had to walk out for the smell of stale fat from the kitchen and they had not started yet was sickening, how anyone can sit in there with that smell is beyond me and pay top end prices. We left and walked down the hill and went past the back of the kitchen and had to hold our breath until we got passed it

Regent Omelette Bar, another cafe but this one specializes in omelettes so tried them. The decor is nice and old. I was captivated by the Bristol omelette which had asparagus. For it to be on the menu it must be a popular item. It made me think that if the asparagus was there all year round whether it would be fresh or canned but canned would make more sense in terms of consistency. Anyway, for those who cant decide you can also get the six egg omelettes with a choice of 9 toppings.

Date visited 16th Nov 2024. Started queuing in the takeaway line and then decided to eat in. We had already chosen of the takeaway menu so ordered straight away, having not seen the sit down menu (big mistake) Food came fairly fast and to be fair was tasty but tiny position of fish for what I thought would be £8.50 for the cod alone. We all had one scoop of chips at best on each of our plates. The other items were another tiny fish a battered sausage and a veggie pie.one tap water one San Miguel which is from the can one oasis and one orange juice. The mark up for sit down is a rip off at £15.50 for a small cod meal 17.50 for large (not sure large is possible). I think we were ripped of being charged £70.50 and even at a brief view at the sit down menu after am sure we'd been overcharged. The restraunt I can concur is not in the cleanest of conditions and strangely lots of security cameras all over the place felt like big brother. I'm not sure how long these owners have been here but are new since the last time we visited, I hope they do pay attention to reviews as I feel they may not last if they carry on in the manner in which they are. We will never return to this establishment enjoy the only money you'll be getting out of us.

Excellent food and service, and beautiful ice cream. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was excellent. We also had beef chilli nachos, also delicious 😋

I have been to The Dolphin Inn several times now and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming.There are homemade traditional pies and roasts offered on Sundays, and bar snacks during the week. I had forgotten my scarf and Sam had very kindly looked after it for me. I wish them a very happy and successful 2020!

Small chips outstanding £ 3 20p the best chips for a very long time melt in the mouth no reheats good stuff goig back soon .......

Mandy and Helen were brilliant, they were the best thing to walk down and get breakfast to absolute rays of sunshine!

Well stock3d farm shop with high quality produce. Pies are really good quality. Found marzipan that I have been looking for, for months. Staff are a bit eccentric, but to be expected, adds to the ambiance of the place.

I’m rating the cafe, We ordered a pizza margarita wrap, they warmed it up in Mikey, the trusted microwave so it was soggy like wet socks. It stuck to the paper, the dough wasn’t cooked even before they put it in Mikey. I returned it and they toasted it for 2 minutes that just barely cooked the outer layer. We just left it at that. Waste of money and rude customer service

We have visited Trelawney Carriages restaurant for many years and visiting for a pre Christmas lunch was something we always did with our kids and now the grandchildren. Unfortunately yesterday's visit was the worst, we had to wait for a table which is totally understandable but a family got taken in first who arrived after us in the queue. My husband pointed this out to another staff member who just shrugged! Once at a table, no menu's, when I asked a staff member, I was told there should be one on the table. No help,a stack of paper ones found back by where we had to queue. The system now is once at a table, queue again to order and pay. By now ravenous grandchildren and a 30 minute wait for food. We then changed to a picnic bag each for kids and cake/coffee for us. Ringing each picnic bag item up individually took an age, but no sandwich or fruit available the kitchen staff did make two up fresh which arrived after they had eaten everything else! Hot drinks were brought to us but noone said we have to get the cakes ourselves which eventually we realised and did. Cakes after that a bit dry and tasteless. I then took the children to the toilet, (we had already visited the ladies which has no flush buttons in certainly 2 out of the three cubicles. The middle cubicle had a gaffataped toilet seat, which may or may not have been ok to use!) The disabled/babychange one was really unpleasant, an overflowing and smelly large bin for nappies which was no way only filled on that day, a grubby pulldown changing platform that has no ability to adjust the safety belt to keep a child secure, I struggled to keep my grandson safe on this. We spent £26 on snacks and what should have been a nice trip, really wasn't and we have left saying that we won't return. Carriages staff were all stressed, yet the customers are still prepared to queue but there needs to be a major rethink of how this restaurant is being organised alongside how the customers are looked after!!

Land lady is a complete fruit loop, beware! She will involve you in family arguments, drag you into things that are not your concern and then blame you for getting involved even though you've told her not to involve you!

The 3 of us had the two course Sunday Roast. The roast was good and the service was prompt. All in all quite a reasonable meal.
